Elise walked out of the hotel and saw Alexander standing beside the car from a distance. From the way his back figure looked, he seemed cold and lonely. As she approached, she made a heartless joke about him. “How does it feel to have someone throwing themself at you, Mr. Griffith?” Alexander didn’t respond, and merely stood there until Elise approached. Then, he turned sideways and promptly opened the car door for her. Seeing that, Elise paused and looked up, only to find that Alexander’s face expression was not a pleasant one. She admitted that she had overlooked that Alexander was a decent gentleman, 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 car door open, and raised his chin arrogantly, as if trying to get back at her. Elise didn’t know whether to laugh or weep. Who is the man here? It was just a small accident—did he get pissed at me just like that? As Elise stared at Alexander’s stringent face, her stand gradually became less firm. After all, she was the one who took the initiative to provoke Janice; otherwise, Alexander would not have encountered 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 his face before she landed a peck on the corner of his mouth lightly. “Still angry now?” Alexander couldn’t help raising the corners of his mouth, and there was a smile in his eyes—it was sweet and warm, as if he didn’t mind being taken advantage of. When Elise saw this, her face turned hot immediately. As she was about to back away, Alexander coiled his arm around her waist, and they were once again facing each other. His dark eyes seemed to contain the entire starry sky—they were immensely deep and romantic.

“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 little rugged that Alexander reluctantly let go of Elise. Elise felt a sense of dizziness, but after regaining her senses, she realized that she was still trapped in Alexander’s arms. Immediately, she clenched her fist in anger and punched his chest twice. “You’re pushing your luck!” The corner of Alexander’s mouth raised into a doting arc, and he deliberately used his strength to close their distance. “I prefer to call it the demonstration of love. You know, the body doesn’t lie; you didn’t push me away just now, which proves 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 her ear instantly. For a moment, she didn’t know how to respond to him. Under the moonlight, Elise’s shy and astringent face was particularly radiant, and Alexander’s heart was on the verge of beating out of his chest as he mumbled, “This waiting game is too hard.” He couldn’t wait to marry this woman. He couldn’t wait to be more intimate with her, to bring her closer to his body… He wanted to be the closest person to Elise. “What?” Elise didn’t hear him, so she raised her head to ask him what he said, but their bodies collided unintentionally because of this.

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

Alexander sent Elise to the door of the room and watched her close the door before finally turning around to wait for the elevator. Honestly, he himself didn’t realize that such a trivial and boring thing would make him keep his sweet smile for so long. … The next day, Alexander took Elise to participate in 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, there was a commotion in the admission area as someone was trying to cut the cue, but the bidding continued.

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

Johan stood up slowly amid doubts and curiosity as he tidied up his jacket proudly. Spending twenty billion to give Alexander and Elise some unhappiness and inconvenience was a fair price he was willing to pay. He couldn’t go wrong if he grabbed something that Alexander was eyeing. Maybe once his grandfather found out, he would even praise him for doing a good job. Faye sat on the chair beside Johan and held her forehead in disgust, feeling speechless. She dragged this guy here because she wanted him to get familiar with business growth and knowledge, but there he went, taking the initiative to 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 finding out about their plans, but also ensure that they didn’t make too many enemies in the process as well. At first, she thought that Johan was just a little more playful, and when he matured, he would naturally mellow down. However, right now, Faye was 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 look back, 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 onto us. I bet we’re going to be in trouble for a while.” Alexander didn’t take it to heart at first, but after hearing her say this, he understood that Johan was the one behind this. Immediately raising his right hand lightly, Alexander said in the most serious tone, “Twenty-five billion.” Johan, who was still complacent just now, instantly became angry when he heard Alexander’s new bid. He slammed his hand 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 a bid, yet you saw it as mockery. How fascinating!” When the words fell, everyone snickered, and seeing Johan’s embarrassed face, they laughed even more vigorously. Faye was so angry that her face turned green. 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 indifferent and 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 to embarrass myself this way.” After speaking, she walked away. Johan glared fiercely in the direction of Alexander and Elise with gritted teeth, and finally left angrily. Elise said jokingly, “His tolerance is smaller than that of a sparrow.

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