Coolest Girl in Town

Finally, their food was served at a time when they were almost done with their discussion.

“Waiter, could you get me the wine that I have stored with you guys?” Mr. Sylvester asked generously

and turned to Alexander with a smile. “Mr. Griffith, let’s confirm the contract terms. I’ll ask the legal team

to draft the contract once I head back and we can sign it after that.”

Alexander responded, “Sure. Thanks for all the hard work.”

Mr. Sylvester replied humbly, “It’s nothing. Thanks for giving me the chance and I’ll

make sure we won’t disappoint you. I hope we can work well together.” As soon as he said that, he

raised his glass of wine to propose a toast and downed the contents.

As for Elise, upon noticing that the contract was basically a sealed deal, she heaved a sigh of relief. She

was also ravenous, so she focused on her meal and even enjoyed it. After a few rounds of toasts, it was

only natural for everyone to consume some alcohol. Alexander then rose to his full height to head to the

washroom.

As soon as Mr. Ford from Eureka Corporation noticed Alexander’s absence, he became much more

emboldened, especially when he had consumed alcohol. He instantly stumbled over to Elise with a glass

of wine in his hand. “Hey, Miss Sinclair, have a drink with me.”

Mr. Ford’s breath reeked of stale alcohol, which caused her to frown uncomfortably.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Ford. I don’t normally drink alcohol.” His expression darkened as Elise rejected his

request. “Just do as you’re told and drink this! Stop giving me all sorts of excuses. Do you know that I

can get Mr. Griffith to fire you just by asking him to do so?”

Subsequently, Mr. Ford forcefully filled her glass with wine. Meanwhile, Mr. Sylvester, who was by the

side, feigned ignorance. After all, to the likes of them, she was a mere personal assistant. Furthermore,

she was rather ugly-looking, so it was obvious that she should feel honored to be invited to drink with

them.

Besides, Alexander would definitely choose to turn a blind eye for the sake of their collaboration

“I’m sorry, Mr. Ford. I really can’t take alcohol,” Elise politely rejected once again.

However, the man merely smiled and stretched out with an arm to drape it around her shoulder. “Miss

Sinclair, you really shouldn’t test my patience.”

Elise’s expression darkened as well before she abruptly pushed his arm away. At that point, she was

significantly displeased. “Mr. Ford, please have some self-respect.”

As soon as she said that, he was evidently quite upset. “You’re just a lowly personal assistant! How dare

you talk to me so insolently! You should be honored to have attracted my attention. Who do you think you

are anyway?!”

Initially, she had her reservations, but as soon as she heard his words, her temper

immediately rose. “I think you’re the one who doesn’t know your position! You’re old enough to behave

respectfully, yet your behavior is despicable! You’re no different to a scum!”

“How dare you insult me, you b*tch!” Mr. Ford threw the wine bottle in his hand to the ground with such

force that it landed with a resounding crash, which reverberated in the private room. As soon as

Alexander heard the commotion, his face was as dark as charcoal when he strode toward the room.

Moments after he pushed open the door, he noticed that Mr. Ford had grabbed hold of Elise by her wrist.

“B*tch!” Mr. Ford even roared, “I can’t believe that you have the nerve to show your temper!”

Meanwhile, Elise didn’t expect the man to lay a hand on her, but she wasn’t going to suffer in silence

either. With a snort, she lifted her foot and kicked him on his crotch. As a result, there was a loud, painful

moan that echoed in the room.

Alexander then stepped forward and stood protectively in front of her. Then, he gave Mr. Ford a cold

glare before asking, “What’s going on?”

Mr. Sylvester, who had remained silent all this while, hastily came forward and

explained, “It’s just a misunderstanding. Mr. Griffith, don’t take offense. She’s just a lowly personal

assistant, so why don’t you hand her over to us?”

а

“Hand her over?!” Alexander emphasized on those three words as his expression became thunderous.

He stared at Mr. Ford, who was currently groaning in pain, before he lifted his foot and delivered a hard

blow on Mr. Ford without any hesitation.

As Alexander had exerted force when he kicked Mr. Ford, Mr. Ford was instantly flung into the air before

he landed on the ground with a loud thud. Subsequently, there was a crack’ sound that was indicative of

a broken ribcage.

Soon after that, Alexander grabbed Elise and said, “I’m not that worthless to resort to taking advantage

of a woman and surrendering my subordinate in exchange for a collaboration! From now on, the Griffith

Group will cease all operations with you!” Upon finishing his sentence, he grabbed hold of her and strode

out of the room.

A panicked Mr. Sylvester rushed after them. “Mr. Griffith, let’s talk this through. There are some things

that we shouldn’t be hasty about! Give us another chance,”

However, Alexander disregarded the man’s words and escorted Elise out of the room.

While she followed closely behind him, she looked at his strapping figure and felt the warmth that

radiated from his palm at the same time. At that point, she felt an inexplicable sense of security and her

heart frantically racing in her ribcage.
