Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 56

Elise leaned back in her seat and slowly closed her eyes while Alexander gazed at the sleeping ladyfrom the rear mirror with a faint, yet heartwarming smile. As soon as Elise got home, sheimmediately turned on her laptop and hacked into the computer in Alexander's office to erase allthe data trails she left behind earlier that afternoon.

When Elise was done with that, she proceeded to translate Aris’ documents for Alexander untilmidnight. Then, she sent the first completed document to Alexander, who responded with a textmessage not long after. “You're super efficient! For that, I think you should be rewarded with a payraise.’

However, Elise felt speechless with the man's response because she was going to repay Alexander'sfavor anyway. After all, she believed everything came at a price. Therefore, while she was helpingAlexander as a gesture to repay his kindness, there was still no reason for her to offer her servicewithout charging him.

“Well, my efficiency depends on the pay, and you pay me well'Elise replied to Alexander's messagejust as the latter sat in front of his monitor screen with a smile. Deep down, he began to replace thismysterious translator rather interesting.

“Don’t worry. You'll be paid handsomely. Alexander responded with another text message before hesent another one. Send me your account number. I'll make the transfer right away. Daily newchapters in www.noveljar.com

Stunned by the man’s response, Elise blinked in disbelief. Really? This seems easier than I thought.Although she was recently in desperate need of money, she knew she mustn't let Alexander knowher true identity. Therefore, she gave the man a proxy account number not long before she receiveda notification. “One, two, three, four, five... One million!” Elise was caught in a trance, wondering ifAlexander was really so generous.

“Thank you so much, Boss!" Elise replied, whereupon she transferred the money from her proxyaccount to her own one.

After Elise was done with her business, she was about to log out of the intranet, only to receiveAlexander's message before she could do so. “We're going to do a site inspection at Aris. Would yoube interested in taking on the job as an on-site interpreter by then?"

Confused and undecided, Elise settled to pretend as if she didn’t see his message and went to bedright away, since she didn’t signify her intention. In the meantime, Alexander waited and waiteduntil the lady went offline. Sensing the mysterious translator's refusal to show herself, he reckonedshe was likely just trying to protect her own privacy and reluctantly chose to respect that. After all,he didn't think it was a big deal as long as she didn’t do anything that could jeopardize thecompany's interest.

The next morning was a Monday, yet Elise happened to be running late for class. As she hurriedlyscurried to her classroom, her math teacher was seen to be in the middle of a lesson. “Can I comein?” Elise braced herself to accept the teacher's scolding, as it was known among the students thatshe didnt take kindly to anyone who was late for her class.

Nonetheless, the math teacher only responded with a smile and greeted her. “Yes, please!” Afterhearing what her teacher said, Elise was stunned as she slowly walked into the classroom.

“That's unfair. Our math teacher is obviously biased toward her. How could she be allowed to enterthe class just like that?”

“Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Well, what do you expect? She is the teacher's favorite student, so of course, she isgoing to enjoy all the privilege?”

While the two students leaned closer to each other and talked behind Elise’s back, she hadcompletely no idea what they were gossiping about. Nonetheless, she just went straight to her seatand sat down just when her math teacher subtly gave her a strange gesture. “Well, since Elise isalready here, I have something important to announce.”

Daily new chapters in www.noveljar.com Elise looked up, placing her gaze on the math teacher asshe noticed the latter adjusting the glasses on his nose bridge. Soon, the teacher happily made anannouncement. “Elise’s extraordinary result in the last Math Olympiad has been brought to theEducation Ministry's attention. Therefore, it has been decided that Elise will represent Athesea toattend the Math Olympiad in Northcliff City, along with the other representatives.”

As soon as the teacher made his announcement, the whole class cheered in surprise andexcitement. After all, the Math Olympiad that Elise was going to attend was a national competitionin which she would be competing against many other tough rivals. Meanwhile, those students, whowere talking behind her back a few moments ago, were instantly rendered speechless after hearingthe news that Elise was going to attend National Mathematics Olympiad, as they couldn't challengeher extraordinary talent.

“For the sake of Elise’s participation in the Math Olympiad, the Education Ministry will be organizinga Math Olympiad boot camp that'll take about half a month. Elise, please prepare yourself beforeyou report yourself at the venue in two days.” The math teacher's words were like a stone fallinginto the water, as it caused huge ripples on the surface. In the meantime, the entire class turnedtheir attention to Elise, only to notice the calm look on her face.

A boot camp, huh? That means I'U be isolated, right? This seems like a perfect reason for me not tostay at the Griffith Residence. Elise raised her eyebrows, replaceing the surprising turn of eventsinteresting deep down.

When the class was over, the math teacher summoned Elise to the office. “I have high hopes foryou, Elise. Therefore, I sincerely hope the boot camp will help you prepare better to score aresounding triumph during the Math Olympiad. After all, this is no longer just about you, as thewhole school is now counting on you to make us proud. Needless to say, I wouldn't want topressure you too much. So, just do it as if it is your normal exercise.” The math teacher nagged forthe next few moments before giving Elise two exercise books. “Please have a look at them. Youcould always come to me if you have any questions.”

"Sure, thank you, Sir.” Elise carried the two books her math teacher gave her before going back toher classroom. Daily new chapters in www.noveljar.com

“That's awesome, Elise! I can't believe you're going to participate in the Mathematics Olympiad.Actually, I heard that Zachary Newman from Cloverfield High would be taking part in thiscompetition too. This news is going viral across our school forum, and there are even some studentswho place their bets on your results,” Mikayla said while showing her iPad to Elise.

Nevertheless, Elise only took a glimpse of the screen and asked, “Who is Zachary?”

Soon, Mikayla went on to answer her classmate’s question. “Zachary is a top student fromCloverfield High and has always managed to score first place every year. In fact, he won first placelast year when he attended the Mathematics Olympiad; but because of you, he had to settle as thefirst runner-up this year. However, most of the people in Cloverfield High believe that Zachary wasonly outmatched by you because he had a high fever back then. Therefore, he swears to do betterthan you do this time in the Mathematics Olympiad. That's why many of us are betting on both ofyou."

Deep down, Elise couldn't help but replace what those high-school kids were doing silly.

“Elise, I bet on you with half of my pocket money for this semester, so you must win.” Mikaylalooked Elise in the eye pitifully, but Elise only patted her head. Daily new chapters inwww.noveljar.com

“Silly girl. What if you lose the bet?”

“Then I'm going to be broke for the rest of my days.” Mikayla tried to play on Elise’s sympathy.While her friend seemed speechless, Mikayla added, “My future depends on you. So please do yourbest, Elise.”

Upon hearing that, Elise helplessly nodded her head. “Alright, I'll do my best.”
