Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander)
Chapter 640

Chapter 640 This Is Killing Me!

Elise originally planned to leave via the north exit. However, she saw several men aggressivelywalking in together before she could even reach the exit. They seemed to be the group of menchasing behind her just now.

She had no choice but to turn around and head for the south exit instead since she prioritized hersafety. However, she suddenly saw a familiar figure walking toward her when she walked past twocorners. It was Alexander!

She couldn't help increasing her speed as she thought she was about to be rescued from hersituation. Unfortunately, to her dismay, she noticed something to Alexander's right. Many peoplecarrying sticks and wearing headscarves with the word “Protest’ on their heads were also headingthis way and both parties were about to collide with each other.

If those people recognize him, they will definitely attack him! But, on the other hand, public opinionwill destroy his company if he fights back against the victims’ families. She paused mid-step andstood frozen in place. Meanwhile, the group of people behind her gradually closed in on her, andwhispered among themselves. “Look! That's Alexander Griffith over there, right?”

Her breath stopped at those words before her eyes lit up suddenly. I have an idea!

She increased her speed and approached Alexander. Before he could realize what was going on, shesuddenly hooked her arm around his neck and pulled him close to her.

Alexander abruptly turned to the side and saw that the other party was dressed in a punk attire witha hip-hop style. Thus, his expression darkened thereafter as he moved to break free from her grip.However, before he could exert his strength, he heard the other person flirting with him.“Handsome Mr. Broker, it's not like I can’t buy that house of yours, so why don't you accompany meto the hotel for a good time?”

Alexander felt both embarrassed and annoyed after he was harassed out of nowhere. What is wrongwith women nowadays?! How shameless and immoral!

He instinctively tried to break free from the other party, but the realization struck him as soon as hemoved. This voice... Who else can it be but Ellie? Hence, he immediately calmed down and playedalong with her act. “That's not good. How will I explain myself if my wife learns about this?”

Hm? What kind of husband-cheating-on-wife scenario is this? His words had amused Elise so muchthat she nearly failed to resist her laughter. Then, after letting out a slight dry cough, she continuedwith the act. “If neither one of us spill the beans, how will your wife know? It's settled, then. Thehotel next door seems lovely. Let's go! We'll head there right now!”

After saying that, she forcefully grabbed him by the neck and dragged him toward the door.

The men chasing behind Elise earlier had initially wanted to stop Alexander to question himcarefully. After listening to the conversation between Alexander and Elise, one of the men gave amean snicker. “What Alexander Griffith? That's just a real estate broker. Don't interfere with his luckyencounter! Besides, Brad mentioned that Alexander Griffith's fiancée is somewhere in this place.Stop wasting time, or she'll run away again!”

As soon as the words left his mouth, that group of people quickly spread out and headed deeper tocontinue their search.

Although Elise and Alexander were flirting with each other on the surface, they never allowed theirguards to be lowered. It was not until they were sure that the other party was no longer suspiciousthat they finally breathed in relief.

Danny entered from outside only to see Alexander being restrained by a cool and dashing girl."Hey, beautiful. Gentlemen should only fight with their words, not their fists. Let go of my brother. Ifnot, I'll kneel and start begging you.” His words had a tough edge to it.

In any case, wasn't that the truth? Now that he was against a woman that even Alexander could notdefeat, Danny could only kneel down and beg for mercy. If I can’t win in a fight, then I'll just makethem terribly uncomfortable! I don't believe that any woman can remain unmoved when a mankneels and weeps so easily!

Alexander's expression became disdainful as he heard Danny's declaration. “Don't tell people thatyou are my younger brother.”

"What the hell, Alex?! I am sacrificing myself to save you!” Danny exclaimed righteously.

“Then, please sacrifice yourself right now. If you live any longer, I'll be too embarrassed to lookanybody in the eye again.” Alexander easily removed himself from Elise’s grip and straightened hisposture.

“You... What? Weren't you being held against your will?” Danny looked confused.

A resigned Elise removed her sunglasses. “Don’t claim that you know me either.”

“Elise?!” He looked her up and down, looking so shocked that his mouth gaped. “These clothes areway too cool!”

"Stop talking nonsense,” Alexander reminded Danny. “They recognized you. I don't want to run intothose people again, so we need to leave as soon as possible!”

"Oh! Right! Right!” Danny recalled that he asked the security guard to park his car, so he hurriedlyran over to stop the man who was about to get into the car.

“Wait!” Danny pulled the man out of the car. “There's no need for that anymore. I need the car rightnow as I'm leaving!”

“Huh? You can leave, but I'm not going to refund your money!” the security guard nervouslyresponded.

"You don't need to refund the money. Just leave.” Danny leaned against the door and gasped forbreath before he quickly entered the car to turn the vehicle around.

As soon as Alexander and Elise came out of the building and entered the car, Danny abruptlyfloored the accelerator and drove off speedily. It wasn't until he drove for several kilometers andconfirmed that nobody was chasing them that he finally released the accelerator to reduce thespeed.

"How dangerous.” He patted his chest and continued in a thankful tone, “Thank goodness you'refine, Elise. Otherwise, Alex might have torn me apart, believe it or not.”

“I can tear you apart right now.” Alexander's expression was cold. “Drive.”

After being the recipient of the cold shoulder, Danny could only focus on being the driver.

Elise listened to their conversation as she felt a little uncomfortable and guilty at the same time. Inany case, she did not dare to look at Alexander.

“Ellie.” His large hand suddenly stretched out, completely wrapping her hand in his palm. His voicewas so gentle that it was heart-wrenching.

She lowered her head and responded softly, “Yeah?”

Danny cocked his ears and eavesdropped on their conversation. When he heard them, he could nothelp but glance at the two of them through the rearview mirror.

This is too formal! With the way you two are going, when will I finally become an uncle!? Fine, Imight have gotten a little ahead of myself, but Alex, can't you man up a little!? Didn't Jack's dramateach you anything? First, cuddle them. Next, hug them. Lastly, act shamelessly! The girl will surelymelt inside! This is killing me!

He floored the accelerator once more in his anxiety and accidentally sped up without noticing. Thetraffic police followed closely behind him, but he was only focused on watching what washappening in the rearview mirror while driving, so he didn't notice the cops behind him

Alexander finally couldn't hold back anymore. Then, he turned sideways to hug Elise and pressedher ear to his chest so that she could feel his heartbeat.

“Do you hear that?" His voice sounded slightly choked. “My heart says it misses you. It misses youvery much.”

Elise breathed in the familiar scent coming from his body. Then, her eyes became red-rimmed andteary.

She had hidden some people and some things so deeply within her heart that she believed she hadhealed from those wounds as long as she did not think about it. However, it was not until shethought about it again that she realized just how turbulent her repressed longing was.

She had always believed that she was not an emotional person, but she still broke down in tears atthis moment.

When Alexander heard her sobbing, his heart clenched even tighter in pain and he pulled her closerinto his embrace.

She finally couldn't hold back any longer and returned his hug, after which the two of them heldeach other tightly.

Danny was so excited that he slammed his foot on the brakes. The car slid for some distance andcame to an abrupt halt in the middle of the road.

Following behind was the traffic police officer whose eyes widened in shock. Unfortunately for him,he had slammed the brakes a little too late and crashed into the back of Danny's car. Thus, theoffice was thrown into the air and landed on the windshield.

Danny jumped in fright and afterward engaged in an “affectionate stare’ with the officer.
