Chapter 120,Coolest Girl in Town
However, he couldn’t point out exactly what was different. Hence, he didn’t put too much thought into it and sent Alexander to the hospital. Alexander’s wounds were simply superficial, and he seemed to be doing fine after the doctor treated them. “Remember to rest well, avoid direct contact with water, and come back in time to get your dressings changed,” the doctor reminded as he prescribed Alexander some medicine.
For the first time in forever, Alexander did not refute but conceded. As soon as Alexander came out of the doctor’s office, Elise stood up from the chair immediately. “How did it go? Are you alright?” Tossing her the medicine, he replied, “I’m fine. I just need to take my medicine and get my dressings changed on time.” Hearing this, she sighed in relief. “Don’t go to the company today. Go home and have a good rest.”
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 her senses after a few seconds. “I’m… I’m only doing this for your sake,” she stuttered as she tried to come up with a good excuse. After acknowledging her, he told her, “There are still some matters I need to settle 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 a while?” “Are you going to take care of me if I stop working?” He raised his eyebrows. She was dumbfounded. Meanwhile, Cameron, who was listening, was also stupefied by such a weird conversation.
“I… I…” she stammered, struggling to find the right words for a long time. In response, the corner of Alexander’s mouth lifted as he smirked evilly when no one was looking. Then, Cameron interjected at the right time. “Mr. Griffith, I think you should listen to Miss Sinclair. After all, she’s a major shareholder of the Griffith Group. Besides, it wouldn’t be a problem for her to take care of you.” As soon as Cameron 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 what Cameron said made sense. Yet, she felt that something was wrong. Why do I need to take care of Alexander? “Whatever. Do whatever you want.” She left at once after saying this, ignoring the questions she had.
She had only suggested it out of concern anyway. She didn’t know that it would raise so many questions. Watching as she left, Alexander couldn’t help but feel a little happy. He realized that she was actually pretty adorable. “Cameron, is there anything urgent back at the company?” Cameron came back to his senses and thought about it for a moment. Basically, there was nothing much to do except for 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’s matters.” Then, he patted Cameron’s shoulder and continued, “Do your best. I trust you. Whether or not you get promoted to special assistant in the future depends on your performance.” Motivated by Alexander’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. After coming out of the hospital, Elise booked a taxi, which arrived soon after. Quickly, she opened the door to 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 and drove away slowly. Along the way, the radio played Jack’s song that was making a big hit online. It was undeniable that his low and mellow voice gave away a magnetic feeling and seemed recognizable to many listeners. Together with the beautiful lyrics, it was very pleasing to the ears. Alexander was also fascinated by this song, mainly because of its melody and style, which were surprisingly similar to his memory of H.
Though he was puzzled, he didn’t suspect anything. After all, Jack never bothered to plagiarize or imitate anyone, so he figured it must be a coincidence. Moments later, the taxi driver parked his car at the entrance of the Griffith Residence. As Elise and Alexander made their way out of the taxi, she had intended to ignore him, but he stopped her all of a sudden. “Hold on!” “What?” she turned her head and asked irritably.
Seeing the unfriendly look on her face, he replied immediately, “I can’t walk really well. Please help me.” In truth, she wanted to reject him, but after giving it some thought, the reason why his leg was injured 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 needed her 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 busybody servant even reported seeing this to Jonah. Jonah’s face brightened up instantaneously as soon as he heard 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, but it’s true that Miss Sinclair and Mr. Griffith seemed close. Besides, he had his arms around her shoulders. With that, it really looked like he was hugging her, the servant thought. So, the servant nodded.
“Yes, sir. I think they’re dating.” Upon hearing this, he couldn’t hide the smile on his face. “I feel relieved hearing you say that! Thank God! Things are finally going as expected. You did well. I’ll double your bonus this month.” “Thank you, sir!” the servant uttered excitedly.
