Chapter 286 You’re Pushing Your Luck Too Far,Coolest Girl in Town

Elise walked out of the hotel and saw Alexander standing beside the car from a distance. From the wayhis back figure looked, he seemed cold and lonely. As she approached, she made a heartless jokeabout him. “How does it feel to have someone throwing themself at you, Mr. Griffith?” Alexander didn’trespond, and merely stood there until Elise approached. Then, he turned sideways and promptlyopened the car door for her. Seeing that, Elise paused and looked up, only to replace that Alexander’s faceexpression was not a pleasant one. She admitted that she had overlooked that Alexander was a decentgentleman, and it was biased to distinguish who took advantage of who according to his condition.

And so, Elise sorted out her expression to try her best to look serious, then she apologized seriously.“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said that.” Alexander stiffened his face, retracted the hand that held the cardoor open, and raised his chin arrogantly, as if trying to get back at her. Elise didn’t know whether tolaugh or weep. Who is the man here? It was just a small accident—did he get pissed at me just likethat? As Elise stared at Alexander’s stringent face, her stand gradually became less firm. After all, shewas the one who took the initiative to provoke Janice; otherwise, Alexander would not haveencountered such an unfortunate matter. Less than a minute after the silent war on the side of the road,Elise raised her feet and stepped forward.

She then tipped her toes and hooked her arms around Alexander’s neck to bring herself close to hisface before she landed a peck on the corner of his mouth lightly. “Still angry now?” Alexander couldn’thelp raising the corners of his mouth, and there was a smile in his eyes—it was sweet and warm, as ifhe didn’t mind being taken advantage of. When Elise saw this, her face turned hot immediately. As shewas about to back away, Alexander coiled his arm around her waist, and they were once again facingeach other. His dark eyes seemed to contain the entire starry sky—they were immensely deep andromantic.

“That’s not enough,” Alexander said with his deep voice. After he finished speaking, he leaned forward.Their lips touched, and at this point, they were inseparable. It wasn’t until their breaths became a littlerugged that Alexander reluctantly let go of Elise. Elise felt a sense of dizziness, but after regaining hersenses, she realized that she was still trapped in Alexander’s arms. Immediately, she clenched her fistin anger and punched his chest twice. “You’re pushing your luck!” The corner of Alexander’s mouthraised into a doting arc, and he deliberately used his strength to close their distance. “I prefer to call itthe demonstration of love. You know, the body doesn’t lie; you didn’t push me away just now, whichproves that you and I love each other deeply.

Am I wrong?” Elise bit her lower lip, whereupon the redness on her face extended to the back of herear instantly. For a moment, she didn’t know how to respond to him. Under the moonlight, Elise’s shyand astringent face was particularly radiant, and Alexander’s heart was on the verge of beating out ofhis chest as he mumbled, “This waiting game is too hard.” He couldn’t wait to marry this woman. Hecouldn’t wait to be more intimate with her, to bring her closer to his body… He wanted to be the closestperson to Elise. “What?” Elise didn’t hear him, so she raised her head to ask him what he said, but theirbodies collided unintentionally because of this.

When she felt a foreign object on his body pressing against her, she pushed him away with force andsubconsciously took a few steps back to put some distance between them. Alexander also realized thathe had lost his cool, so he lowered his head to clear his throat. “G-Get in the car. It’s late—you shouldgo back and rest early.” “Yeah.” Elise nodded vigorously, then got into the backseat swiftly and closedthe door with a bang. Along the way, neither of them exchanged words, but they did make eye contactthrough the rearview mirror from time to time.

Alexander sent Elise to the door of the room and watched her close the door before finally turningaround to wait for the elevator. Honestly, he himself didn’t realize that such a trivial and boring thingwould make him keep his sweet smile for so long. … The next day, Alexander took Elise to participatein the project bidding meeting. Once they win the bid, it would mean all the similar projects in the whole

of Athesea would be led by Griffith Group. When it was Alexander’s turn to bid for the project, therewas a commotion in the admission area as someone was trying to cut the cue, but the biddingcontinued.

The host on the stage dropped the gavel and started the bidding, and Alexander immediately gave theprice that everyone could not reach. “Twenty billion.” Everyone present knew Alexander’s identity. Theywere obviously afraid of the strength of the Griffith family in Tissote; therefore, no one dared tochallenge the price. The host kept saying things to flatter Alexander while preparing to make a finaldecision, but just one second before his gavel fell, a very discordant voice sounded in the back row ofthe venue. “Twenty billion and ten dollars.” As soon as the words fell, everyone turned to look at theowner of the voice, wanting to see who was so bold to dare to contest with the Griffith Family fromTissote.

Johan stood up slowly amid doubts and curiosity as he tidied up his jacket proudly. Spending twentybillion to give Alexander and Elise some unhappiness and inconvenience was a fair price he was willingto pay. He couldn’t go wrong if he grabbed something that Alexander was eyeing. Maybe once hisgrandfather found out, he would even praise him for doing a good job. Faye sat on the chair besideJohan and held her forehead in disgust, feeling speechless. She dragged this guy here because shewanted him to get familiar with business growth and knowledge, but there he went, taking the initiativeto provoke the Griffith Family. He was practically asking for trouble!

For the Olson and Anderson Families to succeed in combining their assets through a political marriage,it was imperative that they not only keep people from replaceing out about their plans, but also ensure thatthey didn’t make too many enemies in the process as well. At first, she thought that Johan was just alittle more playful, and when he matured, he would naturally mellow down. However, right now, Fayewas rethinking every single one of her decisions, wondering whether she had overestimated Johan.Elise recognized Johan just by his voice, but her physical disgust toward him made her too lazy to lookback, so she leaned slightly to the side of Alexander and whispered, “Athesea is small enough.

We just met him at a bar yesterday, and now we bumped into him here again! This scoundrel is ontous. I bet we’re going to be in trouble for a while.” Alexander didn’t take it to heart at first, but afterhearing her say this, he understood that Johan was the one behind this. Immediately raising his righthand lightly, Alexander said in the most serious tone, “Twenty-five billion.” Johan, who was stillcomplacent just now, instantly became angry when he heard Alexander’s new bid. He slammed hishand on the chairs of the guests in the front seat and shouted, “Are you mocking me?”

Elise couldn’t help laughing out loud, and deliberately said in a mocking tone, “Wow. He just made abid, yet you saw it as mockery. How fascinating!” When the words fell, everyone snickered, and seeingJohan’s embarrassed face, they laughed even more vigorously. Faye was so angry that her face turnedgreen. Immediately, she stood up and turned to leave. Johan grabbed her wrist and asked angrily,“Where are you going!?” He was already being humiliated, and Faye, as his fiancée, was indifferentand didn’t say anything—now, she even wanted to leave him here alone?

Faye shook his hand away. “If you want to embarrass yourself, leave me out of it. I can’t afford toembarrass myself this way.” After speaking, she walked away. Johan glared fiercely in the direction ofAlexander and Elise with gritted teeth, and finally left angrily. Elise said jokingly, “His tolerance issmaller than that of a sparrow.

Is he seriously calling himself a man if he can’t even tolerate such a small matter?” Alexander smiledand stretched out his hand in front of Elise. “It was nice working with you.” Elise smiled happily, thenheld Alexander’s hand to shake it. “Likewise!”
