Holding her hand tightly, Alexander wouldn’t allow anything to happen to her! However, Elise didn’t really want that. “That’s not a good idea. I’m attending classes, and if you send someone to protect me—” “I’ll make the proper arrangements so that you won’t be affected.” He flashed her a gentle smile and brushed the hair on her forehead to the back of her head. “Okay, then.” Since he had already said that, there was nothing else for her to say.
The whole way, Alexander didn’t release his grip on her hand, and he was driving when she wanted to draw her hand away. Before getting out of the car, she warned him sternly because of this. “You shouldn’t do this anymore when you’re driving. Do you think you’re a rally driver, driving with one hand? Don’t think that you can do as you please just because you’re an amazing racer!” “How did you know that I’m an amazing racer?”
Catching the main point, Alexander questioned her with narrowed eyes as he observed her. “Of course I know. The young masters at home—” “Wait. Where were you when I was racing?” It wasn’t that easy to fool him, and his eyes turned as sharp as an eagle’s. Suddenly, Elise was stumped for words. “You’re Sue, the racer,” he said affirmatively. “Yes.” At this point. there was nothing to deny anymore. In addition, he had mentioned a few times that he didn’t like to be deceived. Without looking away, he parted his lips and asked in a solemn voice, “Do you know that I’ve been looking for you?”
“I know,” she answered with a nod. She really disliked this look from him. Under this gaze of his, she felt as though she was a criminal being interrogated. “But I have to make it clear that I really didn’t want to accept an arranged marriage at that time. However, the rules of the competition were clear, and there was also the cash prize. So, do you think that I would let such a huge opportunity pass by?” She sighed before continuing her explanation.
“Even when you kept asking and looking for me, I could only keep avoiding it. Otherwise, what should I do once you discover my identity? There was no more racing activity after that, right?” “Then, do you know that a few years ago—” Alexander had yet to finish his sentence when a voice broke him off. “Elise.” It was a woman’s voice. Hearing that, Alexander furrowed his brows. But this voice was very familiar to Elise. It’s Janice Garcia.
“Are you looking for me?” Turning over to the source of the voice, Elise saw Janice walking toward her slowly. After seeing a nod from Janice, Elise released her seatbelt and opened the door, saying as she was getting out, “It’s getting late. You should go back and rest first.” Gazing at her, Alexander slowly curved the edges of his lips upward.
Somehow, all the answers were already written a long time ago! … After getting out of the car, Elise knitted her brows slightly and asked, “You’ve been waiting here for me?” When she was still seated in Alexander’s car and hadn’t even opened the door or rolled down the window yet, Janice had already called out to her. What was this if not a deliberate effort?
Again, Janice nodded. “Just tell me directly what you want.” “Elise Sinclair, I hope you won’t spread the word about me and Johan!” “You don’t have to tell me this because I’m not a busybody!”
