Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 257

“What‘s with that look? Why do I get the feeling that you‘re scared?” Elise couldn‘t help asking

Brendan was embarrassed. After coughing lightly, he answered honestly, “I was just womed that you

guys...” As he spoke, his voice got softer and softer. And within seconds, his cars turned completely red,

making him look like a pure and innocent boy

Elise belatedly realized what he was referring to, and she quickly smacked him. “What were you thinking!

We‘re totally pure and innocent.”

Brendan nodded repeatedly. “Yeah, yeah, got it. My bad for having my mind in the gutter...” Having said

that, Brendan quickly changed the topic. “By the way, your letter of admission arrived at my house.

Danny said that he would bring it over to you. Did you get it?”

“Not yet. He‘ll probably bring it over a little later.”

“You did so well for the exam, Elise! That‘s just awesome. When should we throw a celebration party for

you?”

At that suggestion, Alexander immediately voiced his opinion. “I think a celebration is in order! Would you

consider it?” he asked Elise.

However, all Elise did was frown slightly. “There‘s no need for any huge celebrations. Why don‘t we

gather everyone for dinner some day? Think of it as a present for me. I‘m going to be moving to Tissote

for university soon, after all. I‘ll probably only be able to come back during winter break.”

“That‘s a great idea! That works too!” Brendan quickly answered. “I can organize this and get everyone

together for that dinner.”

Elise made a noise of acknowledgement. “Sure, I‘m just worried about you going out of your way.”

“What‘s with the worry! It‘s just a small thing. Just leave it to me.”

“Thanks for taking all the trouble for this.” Alexander patted Brendan on the shoulder

Brendan was stunned by this display of affection. “We‘re family, okay? No need to act

like such a stranger I‘m doing this for you and Elise. It‘s something that I should do. So, now that were all

going to have that dinner, I‘ll pick a date for that dinner party”

Once they had the details ironed out, Elise got right out of Brendan‘s car. “I‘m going now. Take care while

on the road.”

Brendan waved at her. “Hurry on now! I‘ll be fine on my own.”

Afier watching Brendan drive off, Alexander took Elise‘s hand. “Let‘s go. We should go home.”

Elise followed him, the two of them walking side by side into the residential area. They had just gotten

out of the elevator, only to realize that Danny was already standing by her door. “You‘re back at last,

Boss. I‘ve been waiting here for like half the day already.” As he spoke, he glanced at Alexander. “Oh,

you‘re here too.”

Alexander murmured a response, his gaze roving over to the red envelope in Danny‘s hand. “Is this

Elise‘s letter of admission?”

Danny nodded and promptly handed the envelope to Elise. “Here, Boss, your admission letter.”

Elise took the letter and unlocked her door before ripping the envelope open. Although she had already

signed the enrollment forms for Tissote University, her heart still wavered at the sight of this letter,

This was the result of her one year of hard work in Athesea!

Alexander walked over to her side and softly said, “Congratulations for making it into your dream

university.”

Elise looked up, her smile absolutely beatific. “Thank you!”

Alexander could sense the happiness inside her, and he felt nothing but glad for her.

“Now that I‘ve delivered your letter, I‘m going to just leave you two be. I‘ve still got other things to do, so

see you around.”

Danny did not continue to linger and left swiftly. Thus, Elise and Alexander were the only ones left in the

massive room. Elise solemnly put away her letter of admission before she spoke. “I‘m going to Tissote in

September. Doesn‘t that mean we‘ll be in an LDR after that?”

Alexander narrowed his eyes slightly as he held her, “I don‘t want to be in a long

distance relationship with you.”

The sound of his strong, steady heartbeat entered Elise‘s ears, pressed as closely to his chest as she

was. “I don‘t want this either, but it looks like that‘s the only way forward. However...” Elise raised her

head to look at Alexander. “I can rush through my course and graduate early. Then we won‘t have to be

in an LDR.”

Alexander stroked her head. “Don‘t think too much about it. Just let things play out naturally! And

besides, even if we‘re not in an LDR, I‘ll still miss you so, so much...”

“Me too...”

The both of them hugged each other tightly. After an unknown amount of time, Elise released him at last.

“It‘s getting late. You should go back and rest.”

Alexander squinted his eyes. “Planning to get rid of me?”

Elise hastily pushed him. “Off you go! See you tomorrow!”

Even though Alexander longed to stay, he also knew about that gulf that he couldn‘t cross, so he just

sighed. “Elise, when can I stay with you?”

Elise‘s face turned crimson, and she said, “Just leave already! I‘m getting sleepy...”

He sighed again helplessly. “Okay, I‘ll leave. Rest well tonight.”

Having seen Alexander‘s longing gaze, Elise quickly withdrew her own. She then closed the door, putting

a barrier between their gazes before she turned around and leaned against the door. She exhaled

deeply.

Alexander eyed the shut door, his gaze then moving downward to look at the tent in his pants. He sighed

again helplessly, and then he closed his eyes and emptied his mind. Only then did his heart gradually

return to some semblance of calmness.

Once he was back in his apartment, he picked up his phone and made a call. “Cameron, isn‘t there an

open management spot at the Tissote branch? Make the necessary arrangements... I intend to take over

things there next month.”

Cameron was stunned after hearing all that. “President Griffith, you... you‘re not... joking, are you?”

“No! The company just so happens to have many businesses to expand. If I move to Tissote, it‘ll be

easier for me to handle the expansions. Thus, my decision.”

Chapter 257

Cameron wanted to tell him that Alexander would just be a big fish in a small pond if he ran over to work

at a branch office, considering who he was. In the end, though, he didn‘t say this out loud. He could

make a rough guess as to Alexander‘s intentions.

“Understood, President Griffith. I‘ll handle this.”

After hanging up, Alexander looked up to take in the night view of the city through his window. The moon

was beautiful tonight, and stars cloaked the sky; the vista made one feel inexplicably relaxed and at

ease.

However, every long night eventually had to give way to dawn.

Elise rolled over and opened her eyes, her vision still hazy with sleep. Sunlight streamed in through the

window, lighting up the large room. She stretched and sat up for a bit before hastily changing her

clothes. She then entered the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash up.

Just then, the doorbell rang. Elise rushed over to open the door, and the first thing that came into sight

was Alexander, standing there with a bag of breakfast in hand. “Did you actually wake up that early?”
