Chapter 42

“My personal assistant can’t make it on short notice, so I’ll need your help.”

“Are you asking me to act as your personal assistant?” an uncertain Elise asked again.

Alexander responded with a grunt and replied, “I’m sorry to bother you.”

At that point, she couldn’t think of any reason to reject him. Furthermore, she recalled the help he previously gave during the Mathematics Olympiad and naturally agreed to him. Then, she started to flick through the documents in her hands to study them.

Shortly after that, the car came to a halt in front of a five-star hotel in town. She then followed behind him as they entered the place.

While they were inside the elevator, she took a look at herself in the mirror and: instinctively adjusted the black-rimmed spectacles on the bridge of her nose. However, soon after that, he turned around and scrutinized her appearance before he noted, “You should spend some time making yourself presentable next time. After all, good looks can be an advantage to females.”

Elise was about to rebuke Alexander, but she only stifled her words as the elevator doors had suddenly opened. Nonetheless, she glared at his back and muttered, “Well, if you think that I’m not presentable, then you should seek help from someone else.”

“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get over here.”

In response, she unwillingly headed toward him before the two of them entered a large private room. As soon as he entered the room, the other party instantly greeted him with enthusiasm, “Mr. Griffith, it’s great to meet you.”

Meanwhile, Alexander made a slight gesture and lightly shook the person’s hand. “Mr. Sylvester, thanks for waiting.”

Mr. Sylvester smiled. “I didn’t wait for too long either as I arrived not long ago.” As he said that, he shifted his gaze toward Elise, but it was a brief glance before he shifted his gaze. Obviously, one could sense that he wasn’t exceptionally pleased with how she looked.

Nonetheless, she was quite indifferent to his reaction and followed Alexander’s

footsteps before she took a seat by his side.
