    Chapter 152,Coolest Girl in Town


    Elise’s ankle injury wasn’t all that serious. By the next day, she recovered. Coincidentally, it was


    Alexander’s turn to send her to school today. “Thanks for yesterday. I owe you one. I’ll be sure to pay


    you back in the future when I get the chance to.” Alexander gave an evil smile as he looked at her.


    Those bottomless eyes of his were seemingly filled with boundless admiration. “Elise, I didn’t help you


    because I wanted something out of it. Why don’t you consider making this act real?” Elise was


    stupefied by that. It felt like something was stuck in her throat, and she began to cough violently.


    Her face was soon a brilliant red. “W-What kind of joke was that?” Alexander’s initially tense heart


    rxed at her words. He just wanted to test the waters, but it seemed that she didn’t feel that way


    toward him, so he followed the flow of the conversation. “Just teasing. If you really feel like you owe


    me, just leave that debt be for now.” Alexander strode out as he spoke. Elise’s forehead was beaded


    with sweat from confusion.


    She just had the feeling that Alexander was being weird today. Right at that moment though, her heart


    also calmed down from its frantic hammering after she heard his words. No one knew just how


    bewildered she had been just now; she even thought that her ears were ying tricks on her.


    Fortunately, she had good self-control, or she would have ended up making a scene. She muttered to


    herself, “This guy… He’s actually learned how to crack a joke.” When they arrived at school, Elise got


    out of the car and waved at Alexander. “I’m going in. See youter.”


    Alexander made an affirming sound, only leaving once he had seen her head inside. Not long after


    that, however, Jack parked his car in the same exact parking spot. Mika hurriedly undid her safety


    belt. “Dar—” She nearly called him ‘darling,’ but she ended up holding her tongue right before she said


    it. “Thanks for sending me to ss, Jack, but I’m fine now. You don’t have to worry about this matter


    either.” Jack hummed. “So long as you’re okay. If you don’t feel well, text me. Don’t force yourself to


    weather through it. If you feel sick, you must go to the hospital immediately.”


    Mika’s heart was overfilled with joy as she listened to his instructions. “Got it. I’m going to ss


    then.” Although she was a little reluctant, Mika still opened the door and alighted from the car. She


    ended up looking back several times with each step she took before she finally set foot on campus, still


    reluctant to part with Jack. The moment she stepped inside the ssroom, she caught sight of Elise,


    and she made her way over to her. “Elise, I’m sorry, but my phone was broken earlier. That’s why I


    didn’t text you back.” Elise looked up and smiled.


    “It’s fine!” But right after that, she noticed something different about Mika. “What happened to your


    face?” Mika touched the tiny wound that still remained as she exined, “It’s nothing much. I just


    had a small ident. Everything’s okay now.” Elise sighed at that. “What are the odds? We even got


    into idents at the same time.” “What’s wrong? Did something happen?” Mika quickly asked. Elise


    let out another sigh. “I went horse-riding yesterday and got thrown off my horse. Luckily for me, it


    wasn’t anything serious. I’ve recovered from the fall already.”


    Having heard Elise say that, Mika promptly sat down. “Actually, I got hit by a car,” she whispered.


    Elise was startled. “Wait, what? You got hit by a car? When did that happen?” “It’s okay. It’s all in the


    past now. But, do you know who hit me?” Mika had excitement written all over her face. It boggled


    Elise’s mind. This was the first time Elise had seen someone not feel angry at all toward the person


    who hit them with their car. In fact, Mika actually seemed rather happy. “Who was it?” Mika


    giggled. “My husband, Jack.” Elise stared at her in bewilderment.


    “He was the one who hit you?” Elise suddenly recalled that day when she called Jack. He had said that


    he was at the hospital dealing with something. Was he there because he went to see Mika after he


    hit her? “Are you sure you’re okay? You’re not pulling my leg?” Elise asked in concern, but MikaContent protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.


    shook her head. “I’m perfectly fine. I’m doing great! In fact, I’m pretty happy. My body aches a bit, but


    I’m still happy. After all, I got closer to my husband because of this.” Groupies… They’re beyond


    saving, Elise thought. “As long as you’re okay, I guess.


    Nothing else matters then.” Mika didn’t share her opinion though. After spending thest few days


    with Jack, she felt that Jack was a nice person. Not only was he handsome, but he was also an


    absolutely patient man. Most importantly, he had a sense of responsibility. He could have handed the


    situation off to his assistant or his manager, but he didn’t. He even kept a close eye on her injuries, and


    he would take time off to visit her in the hospital. In any case, Mika felt that Jack was an amazing


    man. I wonder who’ll be lucky enough to marry him in the future.


    At that thought, her heart soured. She was already beginning to be jealous of the girl who would marry


    him. …… Meanwhile at Orbis Entertainment, a fleet-footed man entered the room where Charlene was


    resting. “These are the photos that were obtained while trailing Jack.” The man tossed an envelope to


    Charlene. Her lips curved up into a smile, her interest piqued. “Did you manage to snap anything


    useful?”


    The man shrugged. “I made a huge discovery. Jack seems to be dating.” Charlene couldn’t stop her


    hands from stiffening the moment those words were said. She then asked, “You’re serious?” The man


    gestured for her to open the envelope. “The proof is in your hands. The girl’s still a high school student


    too. She most likely isn’t of age yet. Jack’s tastes are rather special.” Charlene opened the envelope. It


    was filled with photos of Jack during his time with Mika at the hospital, and there were also photos of


    him dropping Mika off at school. “Were these photos taken at… a hospital?”


    The man smiled maliciously. “Exactly. A hospital. Tell me, what would an unmarried man and girl be


    doing at a hospital?” Charlene’s gaze met his. “Don’t tell me—an abortion?” The man waved a hand


    after those words left her. “I don’t know the reason, but the media might be interested in probing


    deeper. No one can control exactly how rumors spread, but public opinion? That can bepletely


    controlled, no? Who knows. Maybe this bit of info would be enough to destroy Jack.”


    Charlene smirked. “That’s how the entertainment industry works. We can certainly make good use of


    this, but that’s not the main thing I wanted. Did you not manage to snap anything else?” The man


    leaned forward and smiled. “Charlene, I’ve only been trailing him for a short while before I managed to


    drop off such juicy info. You’re not even giving me any credit for my legwork. You gottapensate me


    for this, no?


    Some ‘motivating’pensation so that I stay motivated to keep digging.” All at once, Charlene


    understood. She got up and reached a hand out, pulling the man closer by his neck and kissing him.


    The man had a look of enjoyment on his face. Instantly, he stopped being a passive enjoyer and took


    control of the situation. Soon, the room got steamier…
