Chapter 161,Coolest Girl in Town
It was Jamie’s turn to be shocked this time around. “Boss, he didn’t recognize you, did he?” Elise
replied, “No, but I guess we will definitely meet during thepetition, but it’s not a big issue.” After all,
in Alexander’s eyes, she already had a new identity as Joy, so she assumed that he would not rte
both women as one. She immediately headed to her room after taking a cab from the airport and
checking into the hotel. Spending two hours on the flight had rendered her exhausted, after which she
immediately crawled into bed and fell sound asleep after a shower.
Her napsted until the evening. Elise reached out for her phone and unlocked the screen. However,
she saw two missed calls from a local number that she was extremely familiar with, which shocked
her. My schedule this time is aplete secret. Who would have called me? However, she did not take
it seriously and ced her phone aside. It was at this moment when the doorbell of her room rang. “Hi,
room service,” the voice greeted. Elise then opened the door and allowed the waiter to push a tray of
scrumptious dinner into her room. After that, he borated, “Miss Sinir, Mr. Keller has prepared this
dinner for you. Please enjoy this.”
As she looked at the scrumptious food in front of her, she couldn’t help but think, Jamie is such a good
assistant since he settles everything nicely for me. “If you need anything, feel free to call us anytime.
See you.” It was after the waiter exited the room that she walked over to close the door. The room
opposite her coincidentally opened at the same time and Alexander’s tall, slender figure entered her
line of vision. As they locked eyes with each other, they saw their shock being reflected in the other’s
sight. She was growing slightly anxious by now. What kind of room did Jamie book?
Forget the fact that we’re staying in the same hotel, but I can’t believe that our rooms are directly
opposite to each other! “Hi, Mr. Griffith!” Elise greeted with a perfunctory smile. People who knew her
well were definitely aware that it was a forced smile. Alexander slightly frowned. He had never believed
that there were such coincidences in the world; not only did they board the same ne, they even
booked the same hotel. On top of that, they even stayed in opposite rooms. It was exceptionally
unlikely for such urrences to happen, but it did in real life nevertheless.
“I didn’t expect to meet you again in such a short time.” His voice was neither slow nor quick and it was
void of all emotions. She couldn’t tell whether he was happy or exasperated by the coincidence. As
such, Elise could only bite the bullet and said, “It’s a coincidence indeed.” Then, she added, “Mr.
Griffith, you haven’t eaten anything, have you? I have just ordered dinner. Would you like to have some
together?” However, Alexander directly rejected her invitation. He was already used to such obvious
tactics and to him, Joy was no different from the other women who wanted to get closer to him.
To think that I thought she was quite special! I guess I overestimated her. “It’s okay. I’m heading out
anyway.” It was just a casual invite from Elise as she didn’t have any intention to have dinner together
with him. Hence, she waved and responded, “In that case, goodbye for now, Mr. Griffith.” With that, she
directly closed the door. Alexander’s gaze slightly darkened, but he didn’t utter another word. After
closing his room door, he walked along the corridor to the elevator and took it to head downstairs.
Meanwhile, Elise returned to her room and had dinner before she went out alone. She immediately
hailed a cab to Julius’ pub. Since it was only 9:00PM, there weren’t many customers in the pub. Then,
she walked around the main hall before she sat down to order a ss of whiskey, after which she
popped Julius a text. He walked out of his rest area almost immediately. Although he was quite
surprised, he had more or less expected it. He had already heard the news in Tissote—it was breaking
news that Sue was returning to the industry by participating in the racingpetition.
“You really are here.” Elise hummed in agreement. “Julius, I remember that I left something at your
ce. So, I’m here to pick it up today.” After he sat down, he responded, “I’ll bring you to retrieve it
“Your business is not as good as usual.” Although she attempted to change the topic, he raised his
eyes and maintained his gaze on her. “Did you cause the matter that befell Charlene?” Even though it
was a question, his tone was normal. Elise hummed in agreement and didn’t deny his words. Julius
nodded. “H, I know she was in the wrong for the incident back then. However, do you know why Noel
chose to defend her even under those circumstances?”
It was the same question that Elise was puzzled on too. However, certain things became much clearer
the moment the past incident appeared in her mind. The knowledge led to her eyes lighting up. As she
met Julius’ gaze, he broke into a smile. “I have no right to ask about Charlene’s matters, but I hope you
can do this favor for me.” It was something that Elise understood. “As if I’m doing this for Noel?” Julius
nodded.
“He has liked her for many years now. He has always taken care of her, protected her, and spoiled her.
Even though I don’t understand why he’s loyal to her, I can’t say anything about it.” She felt that she
had neglected something. “Forget it, let the past be in the past. We all have to move on, don’t we?”
“Thank you, H,” he answered earnestly. After a pause, he continued, “It has been so long since that
incident happened. When are you going to return? I listened to the new song you wrote for Jack. The
quality of your work hasn’t declined at all. Could it be that I’ll see you around in the industry in the near
future?”
Elise frowned before replying in a calm tone, “Maybe…” That simple word was enough to reveal her
attitude. As Julius held the ss in front of him, joy surged through him. “H, this is a toast to you. I hope
that you will return and dominate the industry soon.” She gently brought her ss to cling with his beer
ss in the silence. Then, she gulped the alcohol and rose to her full height. “Let’s get back my stuff.”
Then, Julius brought her out of the pub and took another elevator upstairs where they finally stopped at
the 18th floor. Then, he took out a key and opened the door.
Elise walked into the room and saw the scene that she was once familiar with. She kept her emotions
grounded as she directly walked to the bedroom. After opening the door, she headed for the wardrobe
in front of the French windows and utched it to take out a box from within. There were a few car
keys and items in the box.

She took out one of the keys and wore a ck cap before she raised her eyes to look at herself in the
mirror. In that instant, she seemed to catch a glimpse of her previous self. “I’ll take these with me.” Elise
held the box in her arms as she walked out of the bedroom. Julius shrugged. “I’m just keeping them on
your behalf. They will eventually return to you.”
