,Coolest Girl in Town
Upon noticing the current situation, the manager was just as troubled. As the fire had been too sudden,
they were forced to request for empty rooms from the neighboring hotels, so the number of rooms
available were limited. Not that only Elise and Alexander, a single man and woman, were the ones left,
it was difficult to make sleeping arrangements for them. “Miss, please don’t be anxious. We will think of
another way out for you two…” Elise hummed in agreement and waited for further arrangements
whereas Alexander’s eyes darkened as he maintained his silence.
The manager approached them with an apologetic look after making a few calls. “Sir, madam, I’m very
sorry. We really don’t have any other rooms.” At this moment, Alexander decisively answered, “Give
the room to her instead! I’ll think of another alternative.” Upon hearing his approval, the manager
quickly passed the last room card to Elise. “Madam, why don’t you head to the room first?” Elise
accepted the room card from him.
If she hadn’t known Alexander, she would’ve taken the key card and left the scene. However, she had
known him for a long time and he even helped her out before. Hence, she couldn’t bring herself to
leave just like that. After she thought about it, she asked, “Mr. Griffith, since other rooms are
unavailable, would you like to stay in the same room as me for the time being?” However, Alexander
rejected her almost subconsciously. “It’s fine.
I will find another hotel to stay at.” When she heard his answer, Elise was slightly disappointed for the
weirdest reason. She was actually looking forward to sharing the same room as Alexander and once
she realized her thoughts, she abruptly knocked on her head. What the hell were you thinking,
Elise? On the other hand, Alexander was shocked by her sudden movement. “What are you doing,
Miss Sinclair?” She quickly explained, “Nothing. Mr. Griffith, it’s just that it’s highly unlikely that other
hotels will still have vacant rooms at this hour. Are you sure you want to leave?”
He slightly narrowed his eyes. “Miss Sinclair, is this an invitation?” Elise had the urge to bite her tongue
off and immediately denied his question. “Mr. Alexander, you have misunderstood me. I just feel sorry
that you have nowhere else to go; it’s pitiful. It’s only 2:00AM, so how are you going to spend the rest of
the night?” The manager, who was standing beside them, finally realized that these two were
acquainted with each other. Apart from that, she was extending a warm invitation to Alexander, which
was an obvious indication of her interest in the man.
The guy is handsome whereas the girl is beautiful. When they stand together, they look compatible with
each other. Hence, the manager also wanted to help these two out, so he couldn’t help himself from
saying, “Sir, the hotels near us are all fully booked right now. Only this hotel has the last room. I really
think you should put up with it for one night.” Elise was shocked that he would say something like this,
but she could only turn her attention to Alexander to see his reaction. Alexander raised his head to
meet her gaze and when they locked eyes, he actually thought he saw a glimpse of his fiancee when
he looked at Joy in front of him.
He had no idea what had possessed him, but he gently hummed in agreement. As a result, both Elise
and Alexander brought the room card to the hotel next door with one trailing after the other. No one had
uttered a word throughout the entire journey; it was only until they arrived at their new hotel room that
he suddenly returned to his senses, but he had no way out at this moment. “You should enter first,” she
broke the silence as she opened the door. His eyes narrowed slightly before he started to walk into the
room. Once the door was closed, she pointed at the two beds in the room.
“You’ll sleep on the bed closer to the door while I’ll sleep on the inner one.” Then, a self-conscious Elise
climbed into her bed and tucked herself under the blanket so that she was tightly wrapped in the sheets
with only her head being revealed. “Let’s go to bed soon.” It was as though she was trying to say aloud
that she wouldn’t do anything to Alexander. He was amused upon seeing her reaction; even his facial
complexion was much better compared to the moment when he had entered the room. He looked at
the bed in front of him and casually lay on it.
After the long night, Elise was suddenly wide awake after her initial tiredness. She looked at the ceiling
above her as she quietly counted sheep in her head. However, even after she had done so, it wasn’t
enough to make her fall asleep. “Mr. Griffith?” She tried to gently call him, to which a soft reply came.
Although Alexander’s voice was soft, she knew that he was still not asleep yet. “You can’t sleep as
well? Me too…” she said as she turned around to face him. He had no idea what had possessed him.
For a man who was used to sleeping alone, he was unable to fall asleep now that another person was
in the same room as him.
“If you can’t sleep, just close your eyes and rest. You will fall asleep in no time,” he whispered before
he immediately closed his eyes. However, Alexander had no clue why he had suddenly remembered a
scene from the party at the Lawson Family where he slept on the same bed as Elise. The familiar
scene was forever etched in his mind, causing him to suddenly open his eyes a second later. Then, he
looked like he was searching for an excuse when he uttered, “I’m heading to the balcony to have some
fresh air.”
With that, he immediately cast the blanket aside and got up to walk to the balcony. As Alexander stood
on the balcony to gaze at the city deep in the night, he suddenly took out his phone. While staring at a
familiar number, he actually had the urge to call Elise at this very moment. It is already so late, though.
She is probably asleep. He tightly clenched his phone and paused before he returned to the room. “Mr.
Griffith, is this your first time sleeping with a woman?”
a curious Elise asked casually while awaiting his reply. Alexander replied without thinking, “No.” It was
only one word, but it was enough to make her feel jealous. He said ‘no’. It means that he has slept with
other women. Maybe he even had intimate behaviors with them. As soon as Elise thought about this,
she felt that even her breath became uneven. “Is it with your girlfriend?” As soon as she blurted out the
question, she wanted to bite her tongue off again.
However, Alexander replied coolly, “Miss Sinclair, you ask too many questions.” Elise couldn’t help
speculating about this. The embarrassment she felt earlier had now completely disappeared and in
fact, it was replaced by her guesses on the woman who slept with him. Although Alexander looked at
the ceiling above him, his mind was filled with Elise’s face. Unexpectedly, a part of his body became
slightly warm and his breathing became heavier. He was shocked by his reaction, so he quickly took a
deep breath and cleared his messy thoughts.
It was only after he had done so that his body gradually returned to normal. “Miss Sinclair, sleep well.”
With that, he turned his back to her; when Elise saw this, she did the same and closed her eyes. She
was sound asleep for the remainder of the night. When she woke up the next morning, Alexander was
nowhere to be seen, which disappointed her as she looked at the wide room. The weather was perfect
as sunlight poured through the window into the room. Then, she stretched before she got out of bed to
brush her teeth. As a result of the sudden fire last night, the hotel suffered quite a huge amount of loss.
Luckily for them, the fire was extinguished just in time to stop it from spreading—possibly something
good out of the misfortune.
As Elise’s room was not impacted by the fire, she took her luggage and decisively checked out after
she returned to her original hotel room. Then, she directly drove her ostentatious sports car to the
racing competition arena. The competition in Tissote would be held here tonight and she was looking
forward to it for the weirdest reason. She parked her car in the basement parking lot and switched off
the engine.
However, she couldn’t locate her keys at this moment and looked everywhere. As she couldn’t locate
them, she thought that she had left it somewhere else. Since she figured that she had a spare key at
home, she stopped searching for it. Unexpectedly, she heard a man’s voice just as she was about to
exit the car. “Are you sure that Alexander is also here?” he had asked. Elise frowned when she heard
Alexander’s name and subconsciously stopped all of her movements.
“He’s here and my men have already obtained his schedule. I’m sure he’ll appear at the racing arena
tonight. We just have to do something to his car by then to ensure that he never returns.” “Didn’t our
boss say that he just wanted to break Alexander’s leg, though? He never mentioned wanting
Alexander’s life.”
