Chapter 43

Alexander escorted Elise into the car before he instructed the driver to immediately drive off. Meanwhile, she glanced at their closely intertwined fingers and instinctively tried to withdraw her hand.

While the car slowly departed, neither of them said a word. There was a somber vibe that enveloped them, which continued until the car pulled into the driveway of the Griffith Residence. She finally broke the silence and said, “Thanks for standing up for me earlier. Just let me know if you need my help for any company matters in the

future.”

Elise thought, If he loses this collaboration because of me, then I have to compensate him for his loss. However, it never crossed Alexander’s mind to turn to a woman for help, so he rejected her outright. “You should go home,” was what he replied instead.

She was aware that he needed to maintain his pride and it was also a male’s basic dignity to resist, so she didn’t say another word. Rather, she turned around to enter the house.

Elise still didn’t feel at ease with things after she entered the house, so she gave Jamie a call. “Hey, Jamie. If you notice that the Griffith Group is in need of some help, be sure to lend them a hand, but do it secretly so that no one realizes that you are helping them.”

Upon hearing her words, a stunned Jamie gaped. “Boss, do you have a wrong impression of Alexander? He’s well-known to be a formidable opponent in the corporate world. How else do you think the Griffith Group was able to maintain its position as the leading company in town? He doesn’t need any help from small flies like us. You should stop worrying, Boss. It’s just a minor contract that’s nothing to Griffith Group. It won’t result in any significant loss for them.”

She was finally rest assured when she heard his words. That’s right. Alexander’s such a formidable person so obviously, he wouldn’t care too much about this minor contract.

Nonetheless, she was determined not to allow Eureka Corporation to get away with this lightly. However, before she could even mention anything, he had already made his move.

“He messed with the wrong person! He’s going to pay for that,” Jamie said as his fingers whizzed furiously on the keyboard.
