Chapter 147


    Chapter 147,Coolest Girl in Town


    Jack took off his face mask, revealing his face, of which even women were envious. When Mika saw


    that, she thought her eyes were deceiving her. “Why are you here, hubby?” she blurted out before


    immediately covering her mouth. Then, she apologized with an apologetic smile, “Sorry, I’m used to


    calling you that…” As soon as she finished her sentence, she wished she could bite her tongue


    off. What do you mean, “I’m used to calling you that,” Mika?


    Wouldn’t that make it obvious that I’ve been fantasizing about him for a long time? she thought. “What


    brings you here, Jack?” she asked curiously. Jack stepped toward her, asking, “Are you feeling


    better?” Is my husband caring about me? Mika felt like she was going to die of happiness. Even


    though she was still on an intravenous drip at this moment, she felt this was the happiest moment of


    her life. “I’m fine. It’s just some scratches and bruises,” she answered.

    Only then did she realize something peculiar. How did Jack know that I got wounded? And why does


    he care so much about me? We’ve only met each other at school before. Well, I did y a role in the


    filming of his music video. Has he always remembered me since then? Jack was finally relieved when


    he saw that Mika was all right. “It’s good that you’re alright. Sorry, I got distracted while driving and


    knocked you over. If you needpensation, just tell my assistant the specific amount.” Mika was


    dumbfounded. So I was actually knocked over by Jack? What a stroke of luck this is! she thought.


    “I’m fine. You don’t have to worry about it, Jack. I believe that you didn’t do it on purpose. As for


    compensation, I have no need for that,” she replied magnanimously, with no intention of ming Jack


    at all. Jack was somewhat at a loss when he heard Mika say so. It was the first time he ran into such


    a thing. Thedy seemed to be a fan of his, and she even idolized him. “You don’t have to hold back. It


    was my fault for knocking you over, so feel free to tell me whatever you want.” Mika couldn’t help


    If you really feel bad about it, how about I add you on WhatsApp and send you a message if there’s


    anything?” Jack thought that Mika’s request was very reasonable. Without giving it much thought, he


    took out his cell phone right away and shared his WhatsApp QR code with her. Mika scanned his


    code right away without a moment’s dy. Just as she finished doing so, his phone rang. She nced


    at the phone’s screen and noticed that it was a phone call from Elise. “Elise is calling you, Jack.” Jack


    retracted his arm and looked at his phone with a slight frown.


    Elise would never call him on her own initiative unless it was his turn to pick her up from school.


    However, it wasn’t his turn to do so today. He looked up at Mika, asking, “Did you tell her?” He was


    referring to the incident where he had knocked her over. Mika immediately shook her head. “No, I


    didn’t. I only learned just now that it was you who knocked me over, so I couldn’t have told her about it.


    She must have something else to talk to you about.” “Mm-hm,” Jack responded. “Well then, have a


    good rest and tell Ronald if you need anything,” he said while turning around.


    After walking out of the ward, he picked up the phone and asked, “Anything?” Upon hearing Jack’s


    voice on the other end, Elise cut to the chase. “Where are you now?” Jack’s eyes darkened as he


    nced at the ward—the door of which was tightly shut—behind him. He answered, “I’m at the


    hospital.” Elise was surprised. “Are you ill?” Jack denied, “No, I’m here to visit a friend.” When Elise


    heard him say so, she didn’t question him about the reason he was at the hospital. Instead, she merely


    asked, “Are you free tonight? I’d like to ask you a favor.”


    Recalling that he still had work to do tonight, he replied straightforwardly, “If you have anything to talk


    about, just tell me on the phone. I have work to do tonight, so I’m afraid I already have my hands full.”


    His reply shattered the only hope left in Elise’s heart. “Forget about it, then. I’ll find a way on my own,”


    she said before hanging up. Jamie hurriedly asked, “How is it, Boss? Did he agree?” Elise shook her


    head. “I’m afraid he can’t make it. He’s busy tonight.” “Oh,” Jamie responded. Then, he casually


    suggested, “In that case, let’s ask someone else instead. Alexander is definitely more suitable for the


    job.


    Why don’t you give it a try, Boss?” Elise was somewhat hesitant. In the end, however, she let out a sigh


    in helplessness. “Alright, I’ll give it a try.” Jamie drove Elise to the Griffith Group right away. The


    immacte marble floor reflected Elise’s slender figure. Since it wasn’t the first time she came to the


    Griffith Group, those in thepany knew her to a certain degree. When they saw her, they


    respectfully greeted her, “Miss Sinir.” “What can I do for you, Miss Sinir?” asked an assistant.


    Elise pondered for a moment before asking, “Is Alexander here?”


    The assistant answered with a smile, “President Griffith is in the office. I’ll inform Cameron right away.”


    Then, the assistant hurriedly called Cameron. Cameron hurried downstairs to pick Elise up when he


    learned of her arrival. “Miss Elise, you should’ve told us beforehand that you would being.


    President Griffith is now having a video conference, which will take a while.” He led Elise to the lounge


    on the top floor. “Please wait here for a moment, Miss Elise. I’ll let you know when President Griffith’s


    done.” “Thanks,” Elise replied. Cameron then left the room.


    Elise felt somewhat nervous now that she had arrived at the Griffith Group. Now I’m here, but what if


    Alexander turns me down? After all, pretending to be someone’s boyfriend is really quite embarrassing,


    she thought. She randomly picked up a magazine and flipped through its pages, but her attention


    wasn’t on it at all. After a long time, the door to the office was pushed open, and Alexander strode in.


    When he saw Elise, a strange look crept into his originally expressionless eyes. With feigned


    composure, he stepped forward and asked, “Is there something you wanna talk to me about?”


    Elise tightened her grip on the magazine upon hearing his voice. Raising her eyes subconsciously, she


    asked, “Are you done with work?” Only then did Alexander notice the magazine she was holding. He


    couldn’t help but remind, “You’re holding the magazine upside down.” Elise promptly lowered her eyes


    to look at the magazine she was holding. Then, she hastily put it aside while concealing her


    embarrassment.


    “Do you have anything onter?” Alexander felt Elise was somewhat weird today. Still, despite him


    being as busy as a bee, he said, “Not really.” “Oh,” Elise replied without saying anything else. Inwardly,


    though, she was deliberating how to ask him the question. However, Alexander seemed to have seen


    through her. He said, “If you’ve got something to talk to me about, just say it.” Elise looked up and met


    his eyes.


    After a long time, she said, “Indeed, there’s a favor I’d like to ask of you.” Alexander fixed his eyes on


    her while waiting for her to continue. Elise gritted her teeth. Finally, she said, “Alexander, can you


    pretend to be my boyfriend just for one night?” Silence reigned over the air the instant she finished her


    sentence.
