Coolest Girl in Town

“I-I’m good. You should get some rest. I’m also about to head back to sleep.” Having said that, Elise waved him goodbye before returning to her home. Once she shut her door, all that was on her face was nothing but joy. For some reason, she no longer felt the fear she once had. And she could finally feel safe solely because he lived right next to her.
The next morning, Elise’s doorbell rang. Hastily, she hurried to the door with her cartoon graphic tee on, only to be surprised by Alexander at the door. “Why are you here this early?” He lifted the bag of food in his hand. “I got you breakfast.” “Come in.” Alexander casually entered her home and closed the door.

Elise was still feeling drowsy moments ago, but she was wide awake now. “I’ll come eat after I wash up.” Thereupon, she ran into the bathroom. Done with her wash up, she came out of the bathroom, only to be warmed by the sight of the scrumptious delicacies arranged on the dining table. Accordingly, she approached the table, pulled a chair out, and took a seat. “Egg sandwich, shrimp gnocchi, churros, and almond milk—all of them are my favorites…”

Alexander handed her her cutleries. “Then you better eat up. I’ve helped you apply for leave, so you won’t have to go to work today. Rest up, okay?” “Thank you,” she blurted and proceeded to indulge in her feast. Peering at the man in front of her, she quizzed, “Have you eaten?”

“Nope,” he answered. Hearing that, she took a piece of gnocchi and put it before his lips, to which the man tacitly opened his mouth, welcoming the corn-mixed shrimp gnocchi to his palate. While he was slowly chewing the food, he was savoring every single moment he was currently in. “You eat up too.” She then fed him a piece of egg sandwich, which the man accepted without resistance. He would eat anything she gave him.

After their breakfast, as Elise was about to clean up the mess on the table, she was stopped by Alexander. “Let me. You should really rest.” “Okay.” Obediently, she stopped the action and passed on the task to him. Swiftly, the man tidied up the table and it looked as good as new. At that moment, the doorbell rang again. Elise went to open the door and saw Cameron carrying a stack of documents. “Good morning, Miss Elise. Is President Griffith here?”

“Please come in.” Elise made space for the assistant to enter. With that, Cameron entered with files stacking in his arms, and was stunned. The president’s on… cleaning duty? Although he was utterly confused, he pretended as if it was nothing out of the ordinary. “President Griffith, I’ve brought all the files over. I’ll come over again to take them once you’re done handling them.” With a straight face, Alexander replied, “Just place it there.”

You may leave if there’s nothing else.” Cameron quickly nodded. “As you wish, President Griffith.” As he was about to turn around and leave, he seemed to recall something. “Oh, by the way, President Griffith, about

absolute trust in Elise, Cameron said, “Alright. Turns out, the man was hired by Maeve. I’ve also dug up some dirt on her as you ordered. The thing is, many sources among those I looked for were reluctant to share any bad news about her, as if they were scared of some force

dying to kill me off. “Who’s the ‘force’ behind her?” she questioned. “Well…” Although Cameron was somewhat perturbed, he eventually revealed the name. Hearing the name, Elise visibly frowned, while Alexander was ever-indifferent. “One week. Get that piece of sh*t out of showbiz.”

was when Cameron realized that Maeve had stepped on Alexander’s toe. “Yes, President! I’ll handle it right away.” Having said that, he turned around and left. When Cameron finally left, Elise stared at Alexander. “You know I won’t blame you even if you don’t help me, right? She has a strong force behind her backing her up. And a duel between

infographics popped up on her screen. The images were, to say the least, explicit. Elise intuitively scoffed the moment she laid eyes on the person in the image. Oh, how the tables have turned! Who would have expected you to

you one week to get out of showbiz, but maybe one week is too long. So, how about three days? Consequently, various unrecognized sources on the internet started publishing scandalous information about Maeve. When Maeve’s team saw the news, they immediately released a statement to dismiss the “slander.” Typically,
