Coolest Girl in Town Chapter 168

,Coolest Girl in Town

After Elise said that, she went upstairs. Winter was approaching and it was rather chilly in the room
upstairs, so she had to switch on the heater to warm up the room. The news that Alexander had
sustained an injury when he had been in Tissote was well-hidden from the Griffith Family. He returned
from Tissote a couple of days after that incident and immediately buried himself in work, so Elise didn’t
see him for several days in a row, up until Thursday evening. When she had barely finished her dinner
and was about to leave the dining table, she heard the sound of a car coming from outside.



Thereafter, the maid announced, “Young Master Alex has returned.” Upon hearing that, Elise
subconsciously slowed down her footsteps as she waited for Alexander to enter the house. Pretending
to run into him, she murmured, “You are back.” The weary look on Alexander’s face was rather obvious
as he had been working tirelessly for the upcoming shareholders meeting. However, the moment he
saw Elise, he felt as if the fatigue in his body seemed to have dissipated. In the end, he hummed in
response. “Have you had your dinner?” “I’ve just eaten. How about you?”

He hummed again, but the maid chimed in from the side, “Young Master Alex, you didn’t inform us that
you would be back for dinner, so we didn’t prepare enough food. I’m afraid you may have to wait for a
while.” Upon hearing that, Alexander replied, “I’ll go upstairs to attend a meeting first, then. Call me
when dinner is ready.” With that, he turned on his heel and walked up the spiral staircase, while the
maid hurried into the kitchen to prepare dinner. Upon seeing that, Elise followed the maid to the
kitchen. “Stella, let me help you.” “There’s no need for that, Miss Sinclair.

I’ll be fine on my own. Young Master Alex loves noodles, so I’ll make that for him.” Nevertheless, Elise
insisted, “It’s not difficult to whip up some noodles, so let me help you with that. You have been busy for
the whole day and you should take some rest.” Stella initially wanted to reject her kindness, but Elise’s



enthusiasm reminded her of Jonah’s words, so she changed her mind and handed the task to Elise.
“Do take your time, Miss Sinclair. Let me know if you need anything.” In the end, Stella left the kitchen.
Thereafter, Elise looked at the ingredients in the refrigerator and took out a tomato and an egg.

She then skillfully made a bowl of noodles with just those two ingredients. As she looked at the tomato
and egg noodle that looked wonderful, she felt the corners of her lips etch upward into a sweet smile. In
the end, she brought the bowl of noodles upstairs. Currently, Alexander was in his study. When she
walked closer to the door that was left ajar, she heard his voice and learnt that he was having a video
conference. As it would be inappropriate to disturb him at that moment, she stood outside until the
meeting ended before she knocked on the door.

“Come in.” Alexander’s voice was heard from inside, and Elise pushed the door open to enter the
room. “I’ve made you a bowl of noodles. Dig in.” Alexander was surprised when Elise entered the study
with a bowl of noodles, so he quickly rose up to take the bowl from her. However, after a glance at the
bowl of noodles, he immediately knew that it wasn’t Stella’s cooking. “You made this?” he asked and
she nodded, feeling astonished by his observance. “Come and try it out. I’m not sure if it has become
soggy, though.” Alexander then used a fork and tasted the noodles.



He found that it was quite delicious, so he praised, “It’s tasty. I never expected you to be so good a
cook.” Seeing that he was eating the noodles, Elise murmured, “It’s just ordinary noodles. I’m glad that
you like it, though. I shall take my leave if there’s nothing else.” Alexander hummed in response and
Elise exited the study. The next moment, Alexander was left all alone in the study. Looking at the bowl
of noodles, he felt warm inside and the corner of his lips curved upward into a pleasant curvature.
Then, he guzzled the noodles and soon finished it.

The portion wasn’t exactly filling, but he considered himself lucky to have an opportunity to taste Elise’s
cooking. The next day was the day the shareholder meeting of the Griffith Group was held. Elise, who



had taken leave from school in advance to attend the meeting, woke up and specially changed into a
formal attire before heading downstairs. In the dining hall, Jonah was seated at the main seat, while the
other young masters of the Griffith Family were seated at both sides. “Grandpa, I have other business
to attend to, so I won’t be joining the shareholders meeting,” Jack started, and Danny chimed in, “I
won’t be going as well.



I have to prepare for the upcoming semester exams.” Upon hearing that, Jonah didn’t force them to be
present. “Alright. You all can go about your work. Just leave the company matters to Alex.” Alexander,
who had been quiet, raised his eyes and caught sight of Elise, who came from around the corner.
“Good morning, Grandpa!” Elise greeted Jonah and the latter responded with a grin. “Ellie, quickly
come over to have your breakfast. Follow me to the office later.” “Sure, Grandpa!” She then sat down.
Meanwhile, Jack, who had finished his breakfast, stood up.

“Grandpa, I’ll head over first. You all enjoy your meal.” With that, he left the scene. Just then, Alexander
took a piece of jam sandwich and handed it to Elise. “Try this out.” Jonah, who saw what was
happening, was so glad that he was unable to conceal the smile on his face. It seems like Alex is finally
enlightened. Elise, on the other hand, took the sandwich and thanked him. Then, she took a bite and
found that it was actually her favorite strawberry jam sandwich. She cast a deep glance at Alexander,
wondering how he knew that she loved strawberry jam.

“Alex, would you mind taking Ellie to the office? I will head over slightly later.” Unable to grasp Jonah’s
intentions, Alexander replied, “Grandpa, I have some work-related matters that I need to report to you.”
“There’s no rush. We can talk about it at the office,” Jonah suggested. Alexander, however, persisted
because it was a rather urgent matter. “Grandpa, let me talk to you about it on the way there.” Upon
seeing how serious he was, Jonah was able to guess what he wanted to talk about. “Alright, then. We
will talk on our way to the office.”



As this wasn’t something Elise should know about, Alexander turned to Elise and said, “I’ll get the
driver to take you there. I’ll head over with Grandpa first.” Elise naturally agreed since she wouldn’t be
playing any important role during the shareholder meeting later. “Okay, no worries. You may make a
move with Grandpa first.” Hence, Jonah and Alexander rose to their feet and they left the house
together, leaving Elise alone in the spacious dining hall. After she finished her breakfast, the maid had
already prepared her bag. “Miss Sinclair, here is your bag.”

Elise took the bag and thanked her before heading out. As the driver had been waiting for her at the
door, Elise immediately got into the vehicle, then grabbed a pen to do her homework. Thirty minutes
later, the car arrived at the Griffith Group. Upon seeing the vehicle of the Griffith Family, Cameron, who
had been anxiously waiting at the entrance, thought that Alexander had arrived. Hence, he stepped
forward to greet him, only to find that it was Elise who alighted from the car.

“Miss Sinclair? Where’s President Griffith?” Elise was rather surprised by his question and she
countered, “He departed together with Grandpa before me. Hasn’t he arrived?” Upon hearing that,
Cameron furrowed his brows. “I tried to call him a few times earlier but his phone was switched off. The
shareholder meeting is about to begin, but I can’t reach him.” Puzzled, Elise fished out her phone to
call Alexander, but the latter’s phone was still switched off.

“Miss Sinclair, please head toward the lounge first. I’ll wait for them for a little longer.” Without giving it
much thought, Elise took the lift up to the penthouse. Nonetheless, for some reason, she felt rather
uneasy and her eyelid twitched hard. At that moment, an urgent ringtone was heard—it turned out to be
a call from Jamie. “Boss, there’s bad news. Matthew has struck again. A major road accident happened
on the southern part of the Riverwell Highway and Alexander was in the car.”
