“Hurry up, Elise!” Mikayla urged Elise to help, since she was about to lose. Elise asked, “What
happened? Why are there so many trolls there?” Mikayla grumbled, “These guys said Jack is just a
talentless celebrity who only got popular because he’s hot. Said he can’t even act his way out of
anything. Someone even called him a sissy. God, that makes me so mad.” “Haters, huh? Ignore them.
I’ll help you.” She took her phone out, and lines of code flashed on her screen.
Elise hacked into Twitter’s server and banned the haters from the platform. “Oh, they finally stopped.”
When the trolls stopped commenting, Mikayla gushed, “They must have backed off because they’re
scared of me.” Elise kept her phone and said nothing. Danny came to pick Elise up after school. The
moment she came back, she heard someone playing the piano in the piano room, and her eyes lit up.
She thought it was Alexander, so she put her bag down and went upstairs, but the moment she came
up, the piano went silent. A moment later, she heard the sound of something getting scrunched up, and
Jack came out looking frustrated. He saw Elise, but he went past her without even saying hi.
“Jack…” Elise wanted to say something, but she decided against it. Curious, she went into the piano
room only to see it looking like a mess. The floor was littered with crumpled papers, and even the
stand, which stood perfectly fine before, was now lying on the ground. Elie crouched down to pick up
the crumpled papers and opened it to see what it was.
An unfinished song. “Ah, Miss Elise, you’re here,” a servant suddenly said. Elise kept the paper quietly.
“Yes?” The servant said politely, “Yes. Master Alexander will be working overtime tonight. Master Jonah
doesn’t want him to eat out, since the food outside isn’t hygienic, so he asked the servant to cook
something for him.
But Mrs. Woods is on leave to see her sick grandchild, while Stella can’t leave. In the end, I had to
come to you for help.” “You want me to take his dinner to him?” The servant looked worried that Elise
might be offended. “It’s fine if you can’t do it.” Hm, I don’t have anything else to do, and the servants
are busy. I might as well help them. “Oh, just leave it to me. Pack his dinner up and I’ll take it to him.”
The servant was delighted to hear that.
“Of course, Miss Elise. I’ll take my leave now.” After the servant was gone, she picked the paper up and
kept them before leaving. Elise took both her and Alexander’s dinner on her way out. On her way there,
she looked through the song she picked up back at the piano room. Hm, it’s okay, but it doesn’t pop
out. It’s a bit mediocre, but if it’s spiced up a little, it should work. She started changing it up, but a short
while later, she was already at the company.
“We’re here, Miss Ashlyn.” She kept the paper and pen in her pocket before going into the company
with two sets of dinner in hand. Everyone knew her as she came with Jonah before, and they greeted
her respectfully. “Miss Sinclair.” Elise wasn’t used to people being so polite to her, so she went up to
the top floor alone using the VIP elevator.
When Alexander’s assistant saw her, he greeted respectfully, “Miss Sinclair, what brings you here?”
She raised the lunchbox in her hand. “Where’s your boss?” “He’s in a meeting, but you can wait for him
in his office.” Then, he led Elise to Alexander’s office. It wasn’t her first time in his office, but it was her
first time taking a close look.
His office was huge, and it had leather furniture as well as a luxurious desk. A big french window stood
behind his chair, and it overlooked the whole city. She picked up a magazine from the book rack and
read it on the sofa. Time passed. When Alexander came out of the meeting, his assistant went up to
him.
“Sir, you’re finally done.” Alexander arched his eyebrow. “Did something happen?” He walked ahead.
“Yes. Miss Elise is here. She’s in your office, but it’s been three hours.” Alexander was obviously
delighted to hear that, but he asked curiously, “Why is she here though? And why didn’t you tell me?”
The assistant wanted to explain, but Alexander was already hurrying to his office. He pushed the door
open and was about to go in, but the next second, he stopped and put his finger to his lips. The
assistant knew what Alexander meant, so he retreated. Elise was already asleep on the sofa when he
came in.
Alexander looked at her gently. Night had already descended upon the city, and the moonlight shone
upon her silently, as if protecting her. He went to the cubicle and took a blanket to cover her up, but she
opened her eyes before he could do it. Their gazes met, and time stood still for a moment.
“Oh, you’re awake,” Alexander spoke first. She sat up right away. “Sorry, I fell asleep.” Alexander stood
up. “It’s fine. Sorry you had to wait.” Oh, yeah. I’m here to give him his dinner. “Here you go. Your
grandpa told the servants to make you this. I bet you’re hungry, so dig in.”
Alexander arched his eyebrow. Huh? Grandpa knows I usually have dinner at the company’s cafeteria
whenever I have to work overtime. So why did he ask Elise to come? He knew what his grandfather
was trying to do, but he didn’t tell Elise. “Yeah, I am. We can have dinner together if you want to.”
Elise was hungry as well, so she took her lunchbox out and laid it on the table before handing
Alexander’s cutlery over. They sat across from each other and had their dinner in silence. Elise was
wolfing it down like an uncivilised brute, for she was starving. Alexander cocked his eyebrow and
chuckled. “Well, someone has a big appetite.”
