Chapter 120,Coolest Girl in Town

Alexander was about to say something, but Elise didn’t give him a chance to speak. “Do you seriouslythink that you’re made of steel? How can you still work when you’re hurt like this? Go to the hospital!”she instructed without any room for negotiation. Upon hearing this, he felt a sense of warmth in hisheart. He was not offended at all as he could sense the concern in her voice. Meanwhile, Cameronheld his breath.

Finally, Alexander said, “Let’s go to the hospital first.” Relieved, Cameron answered, “Yes, Mr. Griffith!Please get into the car with Miss Sinclair.” After getting into the car, Alexander and Elise sat next toeach other as the car sped off toward the hospital. Sitting in the passenger seat, Cameron eyed the twoof them. Though the two did not say anything, Cameron could clearly feel that they were actingdifferently compared to before.

However, he couldn’t point out exactly what was different. Hence, he didn’t put too much thought into itand sent Alexander to the hospital. Alexander’s wounds were simply superficial, and he seemed to bedoing fine after the doctor treated them. “Remember to rest well, avoid direct contact with water, andcome back in time to get your dressings changed,” the doctor reminded as he prescribed Alexandersome medicine.

For the first time in forever, Alexander did not refute but conceded. As soon as Alexander came out ofthe doctor’s office, Elise stood up from the chair immediately. “How did it go? Are you alright?” Tossingher the medicine, he replied, “I’m fine. I just need to take my medicine and get my dressings changedon time.” Hearing this, she sighed in relief. “Don’t go to the company today. Go home and have a goodrest.”

Immediately, this stopped him in his tracks and made him turn around to look at her. At that moment,she couldn’t help but feel embarrassed to meet his glare. “W-Why are you staring at me like that?”

Softly, he questioned, “Why are you making decisions for me, Elise?” Stunned, she came back to hersenses after a few seconds. “I’m… I’m only doing this for your sake,” she stuttered as she tried to comeup with a good excuse. After acknowledging her, he told her, “There are still some matters I need tosettle back at the company. I’ll ask Cameron to send you home.”

However, she was unwilling to just leave it at that. “Look at your leg. Can’t you just stop working for awhile?” “Are you going to take care of me if I stop working?” He raised his eyebrows. She wasdumbfounded. Meanwhile, Cameron, who was listening, was also stupefied by such a weirdconversation.

“I… I…” she stammered, struggling to replace the right words for a long time. In response, the corner ofAlexander’s mouth lifted as he smirked evilly when no one was looking. Then, Cameron interjected atthe right time. “Mr. Griffith, I think you should listen to Miss Sinclair. After all, she’s a major shareholderof the Griffith Group. Besides, it wouldn’t be a problem for her to take care of you.” As soon asCameron said this, Alexander and Elise turned to give him a cold-eyed stare.

“What are you talking about?” Elise fumed. “I was simply going along with what you said, Miss Sinclair.I’m only doing it for Mr. Griffith’s sake!” Understanding his double-edged remark, she thought that whatCameron said made sense. Yet, she felt that something was wrong. Why do I need to take care ofAlexander? “Whatever. Do whatever you want.” She left at once after saying this, ignoring thequestions she had.

She had only suggested it out of concern anyway. She didn’t know that it would raise so manyquestions. Watching as she left, Alexander couldn’t help but feel a little happy. He realized that she wasactually pretty adorable. “Cameron, is there anything urgent back at the company?” Cameron cameback to his senses and thought about it for a moment. Basically, there was nothing much to do exceptfor some trivial matters that the subordinates could handle even if Alexander was out of office.

“You can rest assured and take a break at home. You have us at the company!” Hearing this,Alexander raised his brows lightly. “I’ll head back home since you said so. Take care of the company’smatters.” Then, he patted Cameron’s shoulder and continued, “Do your best. I trust you. Whether or notyou get promoted to special assistant in the future depends on your performance.” Motivated byAlexander’s encouragement, Cameron reassured him, “Don’t worry.

I’ll do my very best!” With that, Alexander acknowledged Cameron’s reply and limped after Elise. Aftercoming out of the hospital, Elise booked a taxi, which arrived soon after. Quickly, she opened the doorto get into the car. Just then, Alexander hurried into the car first. “What are you doing? Get out!”Turning to look at her, he told her in a serious manner, “I want to go home too. It’s on the way.” “You…”She wanted to say something, but he had moved in willingly to make space for her.

Biting her lip, she got into the car without saying anything. Then, the taxi driver started the car anddrove away slowly. Along the way, the radio played Jack’s song that was making a big hit online. It wasundeniable that his low and mellow voice gave away a magnetic feeling and seemed recognizable tomany listeners. Together with the beautiful lyrics, it was very pleasing to the ears. Alexander was alsofascinated by this song, mainly because of its melody and style, which were surprisingly similar to hismemory of H.

Though he was puzzled, he didn’t suspect anything. After all, Jack never bothered to plagiarize orimitate anyone, so he figured it must be a coincidence. Moments later, the taxi driver parked his car atthe entrance of the Griffith Residence. As Elise and Alexander made their way out of the taxi, she hadintended to ignore him, but he stopped her all of a sudden. “Hold on!” “What?” she turned her head andasked irritably.

Seeing the unfriendly look on her face, he replied immediately, “I can’t walk really well. Please helpme.” In truth, she wanted to reject him, but after giving it some thought, the reason why his leg wasinjured was because he didn’t want to hurt her under those circumstances. That was quite admirable.

Thus, she walked toward him. “Take it easy. I’ll hold you.” He wasn’t kidding when he said he neededher help; he leaned partially on her and limped toward the door.

The servants who saw this knowingly moved away and acted as if they didn’t see anything. A busybodyservant even reported seeing this to Jonah. Jonah’s face brightened up instantaneously as soon as heheard this from the servant while he was watering the plants upstairs. “Really?

They were hugging each other when they came in?” It’s inaccurate to say that they were hugging, butit’s true that Miss Sinclair and Mr. Griffith seemed close. Besides, he had his arms around hershoulders. With that, it really looked like he was hugging her, the servant thought. So, the servantnodded.

“Yes, sir. I think they’re dating.” Upon hearing this, he couldn’t hide the smile on his face. “I feel relievedhearing you say that! Thank God! Things are finally going as expected. You did well. I’ll double yourbonus this month.” “Thank you, sir!” the servant uttered excitedly.
