Chapter 201,Coolest Girl in Town

Elise looked at Alexander standing in front of her; she found that he was someone familiar yet astranger. Fortunately, she had worn her mask, so he wasn’t able to identify her. “What are you waitingfor? Get on!” Alexander repeated. Meanwhile, Elise hesitated for a moment before getting on themotorbike. Then, he accelerated, and the bike roared off into the distance. They sped off in thedarkness as she tried her best to support her injured arm.

She clenched her teeth hard to stop herself from losing consciousness. He finally stopped the bikewhen they arrived at a safe location. “We’re safe. You can go now.” She lowered her eyes andextricated herself from him. “I appreciate this. Thanks for your help. If you need a helping hand in thefuture, you can replace me at Dragonweiss anytime.” Meanwhile, Alexander carefully scrutinized Elise. Hehad mainly intended to pop over and enjoy the show, but unexpectedly saw the mighty and valiant bossof Dragonweiss with his own eyes. Truthfully speaking, he was in awe of her courage when she firedthe shot earlier.

This woman here disguised in a fox mask isn’t one to mess with. “I’m quite honored to have seen theappearance of the boss of Dragonweiss. That’s worth my trip. As for the rest of it, I’m not one to ask formuch.” Alexander glanced at her arm as soon as he finished his sentence. “You’re hurt! You shouldreturn home to have that wound attended to as soon as possible. I hope that we’ll be able to be friendswith each other the next time we meet.” With that, he pressed the throttle and roared off without abackward glance.

As she tried to comprehend the meaning behind his words, Elise frowned slightly. In the end, the painshooting from her arm shook her to the present and she didn’t bother to spare another thought to whathe said. At that moment itself, she scanned her surroundings and flagged a cab to head to

Dragonweiss’ private hospital. As it was a wound sustained from a gunshot, she didn’t dare to alertanyone else. After experiencing the procedure of having the embedded bullet removed at the saidprivate hospital, she ended up collapsing from the pain.

By the time she had regained consciousness, it was already the morning of the following day. Elisegradually got up from the bed and noticed that her arm had already been dressed and bandaged up.As she rummaged around and found her phone, it was only at that moment when she noticed therewere in fact more than ten missed calls. At this moment, she came to her senses and immediatelyreturned Alexander’s call. “Where are you?”

Alexander asked. Meanwhile, Elise glanced at her surroundings and ignored his question as sheprobed, “Do you need me for anything? Why are you bombarding me with phone calls so early in themorning?” He had intended to ask her why she had stayed out the whole night last night, but hesuddenly pondered, Am I being too controlling? She might feel oppressed by this. He quickly changedhis tune and replied, “No, it’s nothing much. I noticed that you weren’t home and was worried aboutyour safety. I can tell now that you’re safe and sound, so it’s all good.

I won’t be sending you to school today then.” She affirmed, “That’s fine with me. I can head to schoolby myself.” After Elise hung up the phone, she sighed deeply. In fact, she intensely disliked the feelingof telling a fib, but how on earth was she supposed to reveal her identity to Alexander,though? Furthermore, how am I supposed to explain the gunshot wound on my arm? She felt that itwas one of the toughest questions of this century to resolve. I guess I’ll just take it one step at atime. The moment she left the hospital, she hailed a cab to school.

Meanwhile, Alexander’s car was parked in front of the school entrance and as soon as he saw herarriving safely, he was finally at ease. Soon after that, he started his car ignition and slowly drove off.Jacinda had noticed Alexander and she was just about to head over to greet him, but he didn’t evenbother to look at her and immediately drove off. She was slightly annoyed by his action and followed

his gaze to the direction that he had been looking at. Coincidentally, Elise appeared in front of her. Howcan such an ugly person be able to attract someone like Alexander?!

What sort of witchery does she possess?! Looks like Ashlyn’s right; that girl’s a vixen! “Gosh! Somepeople can be so full of themselves despite being quite ugly.” As soon as Jacinda entered theclassroom, she rudely spoke in front of Elise. “Jacinda, who are you talking about? Who has offendedyou this time?” Some of her classmates walked up to her in curiosity and asked with concern. Jacindatossed her head haughtily without giving out any names, but she spoke obscurely, “Who else could itbe? Who’s the ugliest person with a nasty personality in our class?

She’s skillful in seducing guys, so isn’t it quite obvious to everyone?” Meanwhile, everyone exchangedlooks with each other, but no one had any idea who Jacinda was talking about. Nonetheless, their eyesinadvertently turned to Elise. After all, if everyone was to be rated based on their looks, she would bethe one ranked last in their class. At that point, she frowned as she sensed the looks of judgment fromthe crowd. However, as Jacinda didn’t spill any names, Elise couldn’t quite stand up for herself out ofnowhere and ignored Jacinda while she continued to complete her worksheet.

One of their classmates suggested in a soft voice, “Jacinda, don’t tell me you’re talking about EruditeElise?!” In response, Jacinda merely revealed a smile. “That was just a random thing that I said. As forthe person whom I was talking about, I’m sure she’s well aware of it.” “That’s enough, Jacinda. There’sno need to overthink the situation. Let’s focus on our final exam.” “Yeah, that’s right. I still have aworksheet from yesterday to complete. I’m returning to my seat to do that.” Shortly after that, two oftheir classmates who came forward eventually returned to their respective seats.

Jacinda scanned her surroundings and discovered that the entire class now resembled a studiousenvironment. Being a slacker, she seemed to be at odds with the rest of them. After an agonizingly longday, it was finally the last class for the morning period. At that point, Elise could distinctly feel the painradiating from her arm and there was a wet, sticky sensation too. It seemed that her wound was once

again oozing blood. She immediately stood up and went off to the medical center. There, she boughtsome clean gauze and swiftly made her way to the bathroom.

Elise locked herself in a cubicle and unraveled her dressing, which exposed her gaping and bloodywound to the air. As a result, she gritted her teeth to stifle the pain. Then, she quickly applied somemedication on the wound before bandaging it once again. She found that it was rather inconvenient todo it with one hand, so she was quite sloppy with the application. However, she wasn’t too concernedand walked out of the cubicle to return to the classroom. Unbeknownst to Elise, as soon as sheemerged from the cubicle, the door next to hers also opened to reveal Jacinda walked out with anintense look.

Jacinda glanced at the bloody gauze in the bin and became lost in her thoughts. “Our next class is P.E.I heard that this is the final one for this semester. Soon, all of our P.E. periods will be substituted withMathematics.” “What?! That can’t be true! Ugh, what a buzzkill!” “Sigh! Let’s persevere and withstandthis! We only have three more months to push ourselves! We can do this!” In saying that, most of thestudents grouped together and rose up to leave and change into appropriate attires at the changingrooms. “Boss, stop working on your worksheet. It’s our final P.E. class for this semester.

Let’s go and enjoy this precious moment that we have left.” Danny walked over and spoke up.Meanwhile, Elise was so concerned about her wound that she replied, “I want to continue doing someworksheets in the classroom. Could you help me to get some time off from our teacher?” He was aboutto agree to her request when someone reminded from behind, “In our last session, our teacher hasmentioned that there will be a physical fitness test. The result of this test will be included in our overallP.E. result for this semester, which is why everyone has to turn up.

We’re not allowed any time off.” As soon as Danny heard that, he instantly reacted, “Boss, I guess youbetter come with us then. You can work on this worksheet later during the revision period.” In response,Elise pursed her lips as her thoughts went to the physical fitness test. It should be some simple jogging

that we need to do. As long as I don’t touch the wound, it should hopefully be fine. “Alright, I’ll changemy clothes then.”

She went into the changing room and opened her locker to retrieve her gym attire. Fortunately for her, itwas the spring season whereby everyone still wore shirts with long sleeves, so she managed to coverher wound. As soon as the P.E. class started, all the students were asked to run three laps. It wasarduous for Elise, but she gritted her teeth and persevered. However, right after she had finishedwarming up, she suddenly felt dizzy and as if she was about to collapse.

Shortly after that, she fainted and fell. “Boss!” Danny was the first person to reach her side. As soon ashe saw her unconscious on the ground, he immediately carried her into his arms and sent her to themedical center. Elise wasn’t aware of how long she had been unconscious for, but she eventually wokeup to replace that it was dusk outside.

She tried to move her arm, but she instead gasped in pain. “Stop moving around!” A familiar voice rangout in her ears. A stunned Elise lifted her head to meet Alexander’s eyes. “What are you doing here?”
