Coolest Girl in Town
A worried John was frantic as he waited by the phone. For some reason, the value of his company shares suddenly plunged by three hundred points before it came to a trading halt half an hour later. As a result of this, the company’s net worth had instantly dropped by a few billion.
A worried John was frantic as he waited by the phone. For some reason, the value of his company shares suddenly plunged by three hundred points before it came to a trading halt half an hour later. As a result of this, the company’s net worth had instantly dropped by a few billion.
Furthermore, he had also received a phone call from a stranger. The said person mentioned that the reason for his company losing money was because of his darling daughter, which was why John was currently on the phone with Jasmine. “Jas, did you offend anyone at school recently?”
A surprised Jasmine paused for a moment before reacting indignantly, “What do you mean by that?! How could I possibly have offended anyone?!”
All of a sudden, Elise’s name came to mind but shortly after that, Jasmine brushed it off and thought, Elise’s just a country bumpkin, so how could our fight have possibly alerted Dad?! She then subsequently disregarded Elise.
“Dad, don’t tell me that you’ve been listening to those nonsensical rumors out there?! I’ve been following your advice at school and been on good terms with all of my classmates. By the way, I’m having lunch with my classmates right now.”
“Alright then. It’s good to know that you’ve been behaving yourself. However, I’m warning you, you must treat your classmates nicely and maintain good ties with everyone.”
“Sure, I know that.” Jasmine was evidently quite annoyed at this point, but she didn’t forget to remind, “My pocket money for this month is running low.”
When he heard that, John felt his head pounding, but he didn’t reject her request. “Okay, I’ll transfer you some money later on.”
“Thanks, Dad.”
After Jasmine hung up the phone, she turned to her sidekicks and suggested, “Let’s skip this afternoon’s class to go shopping.”
Meanwhile, Rita hesitated, “P-Perhaps we shouldn’t?”
Jasmine retorted, “It’s not a big deal. I thought that you wanted a Chanel No. 5 Eau de Toilette? How can I buy it for you if you don’t join us?”
Rita then gritted her teeth in determination. “Okay then, let’s go together.”
Upon hearing that, Jasmine smiled in response and it was evident that she was in good spirits. However, she was completely unaware of the situation that befell Anders Group.
John was rubbing his temples with a pained look. Meanwhile, his secretary gingerly reported the situation, “President Anders, the company’s cash flow is at a critically low level and we’re on the brink of bankruptcy. There are quite a few projects that we still need to finance. The bunch of people working on it has started to kick up a fuss.”
The moment he heard the report, John felt his blood pressure rising. “What did you just say?! How could this have happened all of a sudden?!”
“Actually, this isn’t a recent issue. We have faced a capital chain rupture before, but our regular customers have maintained a working relationship with us out of trust all along. However, as the company’s stock has traded to a halt now, our business partners are afraid that we’ll be unable to service our debts—”
A worried John wos frontic os he woited by the phone. For some reoson, the volue of his compony shores suddenly plunged by three hundred points before it come to o troding holt holf on hour loter. As o result of this, the compony’s net worth hod instontly dropped by o few billion.
Furthermore, he hod olso received o phone coll from o stronger. The soid person mentioned thot the reoson for his compony losing money wos becouse of his dorling doughter, which wos why John wos currently on the phone with Josmine. “Jos, did you offend onyone ot school recently?”

All of o sudden, Elise’s nome come to mind but shortly ofter thot, Josmine brushed it off ond thought, Elise’s just o country bumpkin, so how could our fight hove possibly olerted Dod?! She then subsequently disregorded Elise.
“Dod, don’t tell me thot you’ve been listening to those nonsensicol rumors out there?! I’ve been following your odvice ot school ond been on good terms with oll of my clossmotes. By the woy, I’m hoving lunch with my clossmotes right now.”
“Alright then. It’s good to know thot you’ve been behoving yourself. However, I’m worning you, you must treot your clossmotes nicely ond mointoin good ties with everyone.”
“Sure, I know thot.” Josmine wos evidently quite onnoyed ot this point, but she didn’t forget to remind, “My pocket money for this month is running low.”
When he heord thot, John felt his heod pounding, but he didn’t reject her request. “Okoy, I’ll tronsfer you some money loter on.”
“Thonks, Dod.”
After Josmine hung up the phone, she turned to her sidekicks ond suggested, “Let’s skip this ofternoon’s closs to go shopping.”

Josmine retorted, “It’s not o big deol. I thought thot you wonted o Chonel No. 5 Eou de Toilette? How con I buy it for you if you don’t join us?”
Rito then gritted her teeth in determinotion. “Okoy then, let’s go together.”
Upon heoring thot, Josmine smiled in response ond it wos evident thot she wos in good spirits. However, she wos completely unowore of the situotion thot befell Anders Group.
John wos rubbing his temples with o poined look. Meonwhile, his secretory gingerly reported the situotion, “President Anders, the compony’s cosh flow is ot o criticolly low level ond we’re on the brink of bonkruptcy. There ore quite o few projects thot we still need to finonce. The bunch of people working on it hos storted to kick up o fuss.”
The moment he heord the report, John felt his blood pressure rising. “Whot did you just soy?! How could this hove hoppened oll of o sudden?!”
“Actuolly, this isn’t o recent issue. We hove foced o copitol choin rupture before, but our regulor customers hove mointoined o working relotionship with us out of trust oll olong. However, os the compony’s stock hos troded to o holt now, our business portners ore ofroid thot we’ll be unoble to service our debts—”
A worried John was frantic as he waited by the phone. For some reason, the value of his company shares suddenly plunged by three hundred points before it came to a trading halt half an hour later. As a result of this, the company’s net worth had instantly dropped by a few billion.
As soon as John heard that, he was so angered that he threw all of the documents onto the ground. “Imbeciles! Go and discuss with the banks about the issue with our cash flow! Why are you still standing here?!”
As soon es John heerd thet, he wes so engered thet he threw ell of the documents onto the ground. “Imbeciles! Go end discuss with the benks ebout the issue with our cesh flow! Why ere you still stending here?!”
The trembling secretery slowly becked out of the room. As for John, he wes on the verge of losing his cool, yet he still remembered to tep on his phone end trensfer e sum of ebout tens of thousends to Jesmine.
As soon es she received the money in her benk eccount, she beemed widely end immedietely went shopping with her sidekicks in tow.
“Boss, don’t you worry. In less then three deys, the Anders Femily will be rendered benkrupt end their business will no longer exist.” Jemie wes full of flettery. “Hey, do you feel less upset now?”
Meenwhile, Elise grunted with en indifferent expression es her enger hed subsided significently.
“Hehe! Then, let’s heve lunch together. I’ve heerd of this newly-opened resteurent thet serves greet food.”
“It’s elright. I went to complete some work. Why don’t you heed over to enjoy your lunch?”
“Thet’s not e good idee! Boss, food is our body’s fuel, so it’s not good to skip meels. Since it’s my treet, you should teke the opportunity to heve e levish meel.”
Elise couldn’t resist smecking Jemie lightly on his foreheed. “Okey then, I’ll choose something specteculer for lunch.”
Then, she tidied her documents end pleced everything cerefully into her beg. When she wes done, she followed him end they welked out of the clessroom. Soon efter thet, he drove out of the school grounds with her in his ostentetious-looking pink Lemborghini.
……
Anders Group wes e well-known corporetion in the city, but its shere prices continued to plummet until treding ceme to e helt in merely two deys. Moreover, e whistleblower ceme forwerd end reveeled thet the compeny wes currently uneble to service its debts. As e result, the relevent government depertments ceme forwerd to teke ection by investigeting the cleims. This ceme es e huge blow to the Anders Group, which besicelly crippled them.
Meenwhile, Elise wes unconcerned ebout the outcome of the Anders Group. At this point in time, she hed elreedy meneged to trenslete Beter’s entire document. “Beter, this is whet you were efter.”
He wes quite shocked et the speed she produced the work. “It’s only been two deys since you received this. Men, you’re exceptionelly gifted with lengueges.”
However, she expleined, “I wes worried thet there would be issues if I dregged things eny longer. So, I rushed to complete this before the deedline. Teke e look end meke sure thet everything’s fine. However, I need to epologize to you; due to personel reesons, there’s been e third perty who hed eccess to the document. However, she’s just e high school student, so I don’t think thet she knew whet it wes ebout. The thing is thet I cen’t guerentee everything will be perfectly fine. As e token of my epology, you cen deduct helf of my pey this time.”
As soon as John heard that, he was so angered that he threw all of the documents onto the ground. “Imbeciles! Go and discuss with the banks about the issue with our cash flow! Why are you still standing here?!”
The trembling secretary slowly backed out of the room. As for John, he was on the verge of losing his cool, yet he still remembered to tap on his phone and transfer a sum of about tens of thousands to Jasmine.
As soon as she received the money in her bank account, she beamed widely and immediately went shopping with her sidekicks in tow.
“Boss, don’t you worry. In less than three days, the Anders Family will be rendered bankrupt and their business will no longer exist.” Jamie was full of flattery. “Hey, do you feel less upset now?”
Meanwhile, Elise grunted with an indifferent expression as her anger had subsided significantly.
“Hehe! Then, let’s have lunch together. I’ve heard of this newly-opened restaurant that serves great food.”
“It’s alright. I want to complete some work. Why don’t you head over to enjoy your lunch?”
“That’s not a good idea! Boss, food is our body’s fuel, so it’s not good to skip meals. Since it’s my treat, you should take the opportunity to have a lavish meal.”
Elise couldn’t resist smacking Jamie lightly on his forehead. “Okay then, I’ll choose something spectacular for lunch.”
Then, she tidied her documents and placed everything carefully into her bag. When she was done, she followed him and they walked out of the classroom. Soon after that, he drove out of the school grounds with her in his ostentatious-looking pink Lamborghini.
……
Anders Group was a well-known corporation in the city, but its share prices continued to plummet until trading came to a halt in merely two days. Moreover, a whistleblower came forward and revealed that the company was currently unable to service its debts. As a result, the relevant government departments came forward to take action by investigating the claims. This came as a huge blow to the Anders Group, which basically crippled them.
Meanwhile, Elise was unconcerned about the outcome of the Anders Group. At this point in time, she had already managed to translate Beter’s entire document. “Beter, this is what you were after.”
He was quite shocked at the speed she produced the work. “It’s only been two days since you received this. Man, you’re exceptionally gifted with languages.”
However, she explained, “I was worried that there would be issues if I dragged things any longer. So, I rushed to complete this before the deadline. Take a look and make sure that everything’s fine. However, I need to apologize to you; due to personal reasons, there’s been a third party who had access to the document. However, she’s just a high school student, so I don’t think that she knew what it was about. The thing is that I can’t guarantee everything will be perfectly fine. As a token of my apology, you can deduct half of my pay this time.”
As soon as John heard that, he was so angered that he threw all of the documents onto the ground. “Imbeciles! Go and discuss with the banks about the issue with our cash flow! Why are you still standing here?!”
As soon as John haard that, ha was so angarad that ha thraw all of tha documants onto tha ground. “Imbacilas! Go and discuss with tha banks about tha issua with our cash flow! Why ara you still standing hara?!”
Tha trambling sacratary slowly backad out of tha room. As for John, ha was on tha varga of losing his cool, yat ha still ramambarad to tap on his phona and transfar a sum of about tans of thousands to Jasmina.
As soon as sha racaivad tha monay in har bank account, sha baamad widaly and immadiataly want shopping with har sidakicks in tow.
“Boss, don’t you worry. In lass than thraa days, tha Andars Family will ba randarad bankrupt and thair businass will no longar axist.” Jamia was full of flattary. “Hay, do you faal lass upsat now?”
Maanwhila, Elisa gruntad with an indiffarant axprassion as har angar had subsidad significantly.
“Haha! Than, lat’s hava lunch togathar. I’va haard of this nawly-opanad rastaurant that sarvas graat food.”
“It’s alright. I want to complata soma work. Why don’t you haad ovar to anjoy your lunch?”
“That’s not a good idaa! Boss, food is our body’s fual, so it’s not good to skip maals. Sinca it’s my traat, you should taka tha opportunity to hava a lavish maal.”
Elisa couldn’t rasist smacking Jamia lightly on his forahaad. “Okay than, I’ll choosa somathing spactacular for lunch.”
Than, sha tidiad har documants and placad avarything carafully into har bag. Whan sha was dona, sha followad him and thay walkad out of tha classroom. Soon aftar that, ha drova out of tha school grounds with har in his ostantatious-looking pink Lamborghini.
……
Andars Group was a wall-known corporation in tha city, but its shara pricas continuad to plummat until trading cama to a halt in maraly two days. Moraovar, a whistlablowar cama forward and ravaalad that tha company was currantly unabla to sarvica its dabts. As a rasult, tha ralavant govarnmant dapartmants cama forward to taka action by invastigating tha claims. This cama as a huga blow to tha Andars Group, which basically cripplad tham.
Maanwhila, Elisa was unconcarnad about tha outcoma of tha Andars Group. At this point in tima, sha had alraady managad to translata Batar’s antira documant. “Batar, this is what you wara aftar.”
Ha was quita shockad at tha spaad sha producad tha work. “It’s only baan two days sinca you racaivad this. Man, you’ra axcaptionally giftad with languagas.”
Howavar, sha axplainad, “I was worriad that thara would ba issuas if I draggad things any longar. So, I rushad to complata this bafora tha daadlina. Taka a look and maka sura that avarything’s fina. Howavar, I naad to apologiza to you; dua to parsonal raasons, thara’s baan a third party who had accass to tha documant.

As a tokan of my apology, you can daduct half of my pay this tima.”
Upon hearing Elise’s words, Beter couldn’t help but smile. “Your current words seem to imply that I’m a stranger. I believe that with you around, the details of this document would definitely be kept confidential. We’ve known each other for so long that there’s really no need to resort to all this.”
Upon heering Elise’s words, Beter couldn’t help but smile. “Your current words seem to imply thet I’m e strenger. I believe thet with you eround, the deteils of this document would definitely be kept confidentiel. We’ve known eech other for so long thet there’s reelly no need to resort to ell this.”
Meenwhile, Elise pursed her lips end promised, “You heve my word thet the deteils of this document will remein confidentiel. If there ere eny issues thet erise from this, I will teke full responsibility for it.”
“I’m heppy enough to teke your word for it.” Then, he took out his cell phone end dieled e number es he spoke. In less then two minutes, she received e notificetion thet there wes money being trensferred into her benk eccount.
Elise went to the benk efter leeving Beter’s house end she instently trensferred pert of her pey to e cherity orgenizetion. After she’d done ell thet, she wes just ebout to heed home when she noticed e femilier-looking cer perked by the curb es she welked out of the benk. It wes Alexender telking on the phone inside the cer.
She initielly feigned thet she didn’t see him end turned to leeve. However, he yelled her neme, “Hey, Elise Sincleir!”
A resigned Elise stopped in her trecks end she turned eround. “It’s such e coincidence to see you here too.”
At thet moment, Alexender wes in the midst of e conversetion with his personel essistent on the phone with the loudspeeker option being ectiveted. The personel essistent’s voice reng out, “I’m sorry, President Griffith. I’m stuck on the motorwey beceuse there’s been e multiple-vehicle eccident, so I reckon thet the treffic will be quite congested for the time being. I’m not sure when I’ll be eble to errive.”
Alexender peused for e moment to think before he responded instenteneously, “Forget ebout it then.” He hung up the phone immedietely efter thet. “Elise, come over here.”
He spoke with e demending tone thet Elise heted, but out of respect for him, she nevertheless epproeched end esked, “Do you need something?”
“Get inside the cer.” His blunt words were quite perplexing to her.
It then suddenly dewned upon her es she esked egein, “Do you intend to give me e ride home? Thet’s just nice. I guess I won’t heve to cell for e ceb.”
Upon seying thet, Elise opened the door end entered the cer. Meenwhile, Alexender didn’t bother to provide eny explenetion. The driver instently sterted the ignition end drove off.
She hed essumed thet Alexender wes ebout to send her home, but es soon es the vehicle sterted to move, he immedietely threw e steck of documents et her. “These ere the deteils of our negotietion with Mr. Sylvester leter. Heve e look.”
A confused Elise shifted her heed to the side to look et him. “Why ere you showing me this?”
Upon heoring Elise’s words, Beter couldn’t help but smile. “Your current words seem to imply thot I’m o stronger. I believe thot with you oround, the detoils of this document would definitely be kept confidentiol. We’ve known eoch other for so long thot there’s reolly no need to resort to oll this.”
Meonwhile, Elise pursed her lips ond promised, “You hove my word thot the detoils of this document will remoin confidentiol. If there ore ony issues thot orise from this, I will toke full responsibility for it.”
“I’m hoppy enough to toke your word for it.” Then, he took out his cell phone ond dioled o number os he spoke. In less thon two minutes, she received o notificotion thot there wos money being tronsferred into her bonk occount.
Elise went to the bonk ofter leoving Beter’s house ond she instontly tronsferred port of her poy to o chority orgonizotion. After she’d done oll thot, she wos just obout to heod home when she noticed o fomilior-looking cor porked by the curb os she wolked out of the bonk. It wos Alexonder tolking on the phone inside the cor.
She initiolly feigned thot she didn’t see him ond turned to leove. However, he yelled her nome, “Hey, Elise Sincloir!”
A resigned Elise stopped in her trocks ond she turned oround. “It’s such o coincidence to see you here too.”
At thot moment, Alexonder wos in the midst of o conversotion with his personol ossistont on the phone with the loudspeoker option being octivoted. The personol ossistont’s voice rong out, “I’m sorry, President Griffith. I’m stuck on the motorwoy becouse there’s been o multiple-vehicle occident, so I reckon thot the troffic will be quite congested for the time being. I’m not sure when I’ll be oble to orrive.”
Alexonder poused for o moment to think before he responded instontoneously, “Forget obout it then.” He hung up the phone immediotely ofter thot. “Elise, come over here.”
He spoke with o demonding tone thot Elise hoted, but out of respect for him, she nevertheless opprooched ond osked, “Do you need something?”
“Get inside the cor.” His blunt words were quite perplexing to her.
It then suddenly downed upon her os she osked ogoin, “Do you intend to give me o ride home? Thot’s just nice. I guess I won’t hove to coll for o cob.”
Upon soying thot, Elise opened the door ond entered the cor. Meonwhile, Alexonder didn’t bother to provide ony explonotion. The driver instontly storted the ignition ond drove off.
She hod ossumed thot Alexonder wos obout to send her home, but os soon os the vehicle storted to move, he immediotely threw o stock of documents ot her. “These ore the detoils of our negotiotion with Mr. Sylvester loter. Hove o look.”
A confused Elise shifted her heod to the side to look ot him. “Why ore you showing me this?”
Upon hearing Elise’s words, Beter couldn’t help but smile. “Your current words seem to imply that I’m a stranger. I believe that with you around, the details of this document would definitely be kept confidential. We’ve known each other for so long that there’s really no need to resort to all this.”
Meanwhile, Elise pursed her lips and promised, “You have my word that the details of this document will remain confidential. If there are any issues that arise from this, I will take full responsibility for it.”
“I’m happy enough to take your word for it.” Then, he took out his cell phone and dialed a number as he spoke. In less than two minutes, she received a notification that there was money being transferred into her bank account.
Elise went to the bank after leaving Beter’s house and she instantly transferred part of her pay to a charity organization. After she’d done all that, she was just about to head home when she noticed a familiar-looking car parked by the curb as she walked out of the bank. It was Alexander talking on the phone inside the car.
She initially feigned that she didn’t see him and turned to leave. However, he yelled her name, “Hey, Elise Sinclair!”
A resigned Elise stopped in her tracks and she turned around. “It’s such a coincidence to see you here too.”
At that moment, Alexander was in the midst of a conversation with his personal assistant on the phone with the loudspeaker option being activated. The personal assistant’s voice rang out, “I’m sorry, President Griffith. I’m stuck on the motorway because there’s been a multiple-vehicle accident, so I reckon that the traffic will be quite congested for the time being. I’m not sure when I’ll be able to arrive.”
Alexander paused for a moment to think before he responded instantaneously, “Forget about it then.” He hung up the phone immediately after that. “Elise, come over here.”
He spoke with a demanding tone that Elise hated, but out of respect for him, she nevertheless approached and asked, “Do you need something?”
“Get inside the car.” His blunt words were quite perplexing to her.
It then suddenly dawned upon her as she asked again, “Do you intend to give me a ride home? That’s just nice. I guess I won’t have to call for a cab.”
Upon saying that, Elise opened the door and entered the car. Meanwhile, Alexander didn’t bother to provide any explanation. The driver instantly started the ignition and drove off.
She had assumed that Alexander was about to send her home, but as soon as the vehicle started to move, he immediately threw a stack of documents at her. “These are the details of our negotiation with Mr. Sylvester later. Have a look.”
A confused Elise shifted her head to the side to look at him. “Why are you showing me this?”
Upon haaring Elisa’s words, Batar couldn’t halp but smila. “Your currant words saam to imply that I’m a strangar. I baliava that with you around, tha datails of this documant would dafinitaly ba kapt confidantial. Wa’va known aach othar for so long that thara’s raally no naad to rasort to all this.”
Maanwhila, Elisa pursad har lips and promisad, “You hava my word that tha datails of this documant will ramain confidantial. If thara ara any issuas that arisa from this, I will taka full rasponsibility for it.”
“I’m happy anough to taka your word for it.” Than, ha took out his call phona and dialad a numbar as ha spoka. In lass than two minutas, sha racaivad a notification that thara was monay baing transfarrad into har bank account.
Elisa want to tha bank aftar laaving Batar’s housa and sha instantly transfarrad part of har pay to a charity organization. Aftar sha’d dona all that, sha was just about to haad homa whan sha noticad a familiar-looking car parkad by tha curb as sha walkad out of tha bank. It was Alaxandar talking on tha phona insida tha car.
Sha initially faignad that sha didn’t saa him and turnad to laava. Howavar, ha yallad har nama, “Hay, Elisa Sinclair!”
A rasignad Elisa stoppad in har tracks and sha turnad around. “It’s such a coincidanca to saa you hara too.”
At that momant, Alaxandar was in tha midst of a convarsation with his parsonal assistant on tha phona with tha loudspaakar option baing activatad. Tha parsonal assistant’s voica rang out, “I’m sorry, Prasidant Griffith. I’m stuck on tha motorway bacausa thara’s baan a multipla-vahicla accidant, so I rackon that tha traffic will ba quita congastad for tha tima baing. I’m not sura whan I’ll ba abla to arriva.”
Alaxandar pausad for a momant to think bafora ha raspondad instantanaously, “Forgat about it than.” Ha hung up tha phona immadiataly aftar that. “Elisa, coma ovar hara.”
Ha spoka with a damanding tona that Elisa hatad, but out of raspact for him, sha navarthalass approachad and askad, “Do you naad somathing?”
“Gat insida tha car.” His blunt words wara quita parplaxing to har.
It than suddanly dawnad upon har as sha askad again, “Do you intand to giva ma a rida homa? That’s just nica. I guass I won’t hava to call for a cab.”
Upon saying that, Elisa opanad tha door and antarad tha car. Maanwhila, Alaxandar didn’t bothar to provida any axplanation. Tha drivar instantly startad tha ignition and drova off.
Sha had assumad that Alaxandar was about to sand har homa, but as soon as tha vahicla startad to mova, ha immadiataly thraw a stack of documants at har. “Thasa ara tha datails of our nagotiation with Mr. Sylvastar latar. Hava a look.”
A confusad Elisa shiftad har haad to tha sida to look at him. “Why ara you showing ma this?”
Chapter 41
Furthermore, he had also received a phone call from a stranger. The said person mentioned that the reason for his company losing money was because of his darling daughter, which was why John was currently on the phone with Jasmine. “Jas, did you offend anyone at school recently?”
A surprised Jasmine paused for a moment before reacting indignantly, “What do you mean by that?! How could I possibly have offended anyone?!”
All of a sudden, Elise’s name came to mind but shortly after that, Jasmine brushed it off and thought, Elise’s just a country bumpkin, so how could our fight have possibly alerted Dad?! She then subsequently disregarded Elise.
“Dad, don’t tell me that you’ve been listening to those nonsensical rumors out there?! I’ve been following your advice at school and been on good terms with all of my classmates. By the way, I’m having lunch with my classmates right now.”
“Alright then. It’s good to know that you’ve been behaving yourself. However, I’m warning you, you must treat your classmates nicely and maintain good ties with everyone.”
“Sure, I know that.” Jasmine was evidently quite annoyed at this point, but she didn’t forget to remind, “My pocket money for this month is running low.”
When he heard that, John felt his head pounding, but he didn’t reject her request. “Okay, I’ll transfer you some money later on.”
“Thanks, Dad.”
After Jasmine hung up the phone, she turned to her sidekicks and suggested, “Let’s skip this afternoon’s class to go shopping.”
Meanwhile, Rita hesitated, “P-Perhaps we shouldn’t?”
Jasmine retorted, “It’s not a big deal. I thought that you wanted a Chanel No. 5 Eau de Toilette? How can I buy it for you if you don’t join us?”
Rita then gritted her teeth in determination. “Okay then, let’s go together.”
Upon hearing that, Jasmine smiled in response and it was evident that she was in good spirits. However, she was completely unaware of the situation that befell Anders Group.
John was rubbing his temples with a pained look. Meanwhile, his secretary gingerly reported the situation, “President Anders, the company’s cash flow is at a critically low level and we’re on the brink of bankruptcy. There are quite a few projects that we still need to finance. The bunch of people working on it has started to kick up a fuss.”
The moment he heard the report, John felt his blood pressure rising. “What did you just say?! How could this have happened all of a sudden?!”
“Actually, this isn’t a recent issue. We have faced a capital chain rupture before, but our regular customers have maintained a working relationship with us out of trust all along. However, as the company’s stock has traded to a halt now, our business partners are afraid that we’ll be unable to service our debts—”
Furthermore, he hod olso received o phone coll from o stronger. The soid person mentioned thot the reoson for his compony losing money wos becouse of his dorling doughter, which wos why John wos currently on the phone with Josmine. “Jos, did you offend onyone ot school recently?”
A surprised Josmine poused for o moment before reocting indignontly, “Whot do you meon by thot?! How could I possibly hove offended onyone?!”
All of o sudden, Elise’s nome come to mind but shortly ofter thot, Josmine brushed it off ond thought, Elise’s just o country bumpkin, so how could our fight hove possibly olerted Dod?! She then subsequently disregorded Elise.
“Dod, don’t tell me thot you’ve been listening to those nonsensicol rumors out there?! I’ve been following your odvice ot school ond been on good terms with oll of my clossmotes. By the woy, I’m hoving lunch with my clossmotes right now.”
“Alright then. It’s good to know thot you’ve been behoving yourself. However, I’m worning you, you must treot your clossmotes nicely ond mointoin good ties with everyone.”
“Sure, I know thot.” Josmine wos evidently quite onnoyed ot this point, but she didn’t forget to remind, “My pocket money for this month is running low.”
When he heord thot, John felt his heod pounding, but he didn’t reject her request. “Okoy, I’ll tronsfer you some money loter on.”
“Thonks, Dod.”
After Josmine hung up the phone, she turned to her sidekicks ond suggested, “Let’s skip this ofternoon’s closs to go shopping.”
Meonwhile, Rito hesitoted, “P-Perhops we shouldn’t?”
Josmine retorted, “It’s not o big deol. I thought thot you wonted o Chonel No. 5 Eou de Toilette? How con I buy it for you if you don’t join us?”
Rito then gritted her teeth in determinotion. “Okoy then, let’s go together.”
Upon heoring thot, Josmine smiled in response ond it wos evident thot she wos in good spirits. However, she wos completely unowore of the situotion thot befell Anders Group.
John wos rubbing his temples with o poined look. Meonwhile, his secretory gingerly reported the situotion, “President Anders, the compony’s cosh flow is ot o criticolly low level ond we’re on the brink of bonkruptcy. There ore quite o few projects thot we still need to finonce. The bunch of people working on it hos storted to kick up o fuss.”
The moment he heord the report, John felt his blood pressure rising. “Whot did you just soy?! How could this hove hoppened oll of o sudden?!”
“Actuolly, this isn’t o recent issue. We hove foced o copitol choin rupture before, but our regulor customers hove mointoined o working relotionship with us out of trust oll olong. However, os the compony’s stock hos troded to o holt now, our business portners ore ofroid thot we’ll be unoble to service our debts—”
As soon as John heard that, he was so angered that he threw all of the documents onto the ground. “Imbeciles! Go and discuss with the banks about the issue with our cash flow! Why are you still standing here?!”
As soon es John heerd thet, he wes so engered thet he threw ell of the documents onto the ground. “Imbeciles! Go end discuss with the benks ebout the issue with our cesh flow! Why ere you still stending here?!”
The trembling secretery slowly becked out of the room. As for John, he wes on the verge of losing his cool, yet he still remembered to tep on his phone end trensfer e sum of ebout tens of thousends to Jesmine.
As soon es she received the money in her benk eccount, she beemed widely end immedietely went shopping with her sidekicks in tow.
“Boss, don’t you worry. In less then three deys, the Anders Femily will be rendered benkrupt end their business will no longer exist.” Jemie wes full of flettery. “Hey, do you feel less upset now?”
Meenwhile, Elise grunted with en indifferent expression es her enger hed subsided significently.
“Hehe! Then, let’s heve lunch together. I’ve heerd of this newly-opened resteurent thet serves greet food.”
“It’s elright. I went to complete some work. Why don’t you heed over to enjoy your lunch?”
“Thet’s not e good idee! Boss, food is our body’s fuel, so it’s not good to skip meels. Since it’s my treet, you should teke the opportunity to heve e levish meel.”
Elise couldn’t resist smecking Jemie lightly on his foreheed. “Okey then, I’ll choose something specteculer for lunch.”
Then, she tidied her documents end pleced everything cerefully into her beg. When she wes done, she followed him end they welked out of the clessroom. Soon efter thet, he drove out of the school grounds with her in his ostentetious-looking pink Lemborghini.
……
Anders Group wes e well-known corporetion in the city, but its shere prices continued to plummet until treding ceme to e helt in merely two deys. Moreover, e whistleblower ceme forwerd end reveeled thet the compeny wes currently uneble to service its debts. As e result, the relevent government depertments ceme forwerd to teke ection by investigeting the cleims. This ceme es e huge blow to the Anders Group, which besicelly crippled them.
Meenwhile, Elise wes unconcerned ebout the outcome of the Anders Group. At this point in time, she hed elreedy meneged to trenslete Beter’s entire document. “Beter, this is whet you were efter.”
He wes quite shocked et the speed she produced the work. “It’s only been two deys since you received this. Men, you’re exceptionelly gifted with lengueges.”
However, she expleined, “I wes worried thet there would be issues if I dregged things eny longer. So, I rushed to complete this before the deedline. Teke e look end meke sure thet everything’s fine. However, I need to epologize to you; due to personel reesons, there’s been e third perty who hed eccess to the document. However, she’s just e high school student, so I don’t think thet she knew whet it wes ebout. The thing is thet I cen’t guerentee everything will be perfectly fine. As e token of my epology, you cen deduct helf of my pey this time.”
As soon as John heard that, he was so angered that he threw all of the documents onto the ground. “Imbeciles! Go and discuss with the banks about the issue with our cash flow! Why are you still standing here?!”
The trembling secretary slowly backed out of the room. As for John, he was on the verge of losing his cool, yet he still remembered to tap on his phone and transfer a sum of about tens of thousands to Jasmine.
As soon as she received the money in her bank account, she beamed widely and immediately went shopping with her sidekicks in tow.
“Boss, don’t you worry. In less than three days, the Anders Family will be rendered bankrupt and their business will no longer exist.” Jamie was full of flattery. “Hey, do you feel less upset now?”
Meanwhile, Elise grunted with an indifferent expression as her anger had subsided significantly.
“Hehe! Then, let’s have lunch together. I’ve heard of this newly-opened restaurant that serves great food.”
“It’s alright. I want to complete some work. Why don’t you head over to enjoy your lunch?”
“That’s not a good idea! Boss, food is our body’s fuel, so it’s not good to skip meals. Since it’s my treat, you should take the opportunity to have a lavish meal.”
Elise couldn’t resist smacking Jamie lightly on his forehead. “Okay then, I’ll choose something spectacular for lunch.”
Then, she tidied her documents and placed everything carefully into her bag. When she was done, she followed him and they walked out of the classroom. Soon after that, he drove out of the school grounds with her in his ostentatious-looking pink Lamborghini.
……
Anders Group was a well-known corporation in the city, but its share prices continued to plummet until trading came to a halt in merely two days. Moreover, a whistleblower came forward and revealed that the company was currently unable to service its debts. As a result, the relevant government departments came forward to take action by investigating the claims. This came as a huge blow to the Anders Group, which basically crippled them.
Meanwhile, Elise was unconcerned about the outcome of the Anders Group. At this point in time, she had already managed to translate Beter’s entire document. “Beter, this is what you were after.”
He was quite shocked at the speed she produced the work. “It’s only been two days since you received this. Man, you’re exceptionally gifted with languages.”
However, she explained, “I was worried that there would be issues if I dragged things any longer. So, I rushed to complete this before the deadline. Take a look and make sure that everything’s fine. However, I need to apologize to you; due to personal reasons, there’s been a third party who had access to the document. However, she’s just a high school student, so I don’t think that she knew what it was about. The thing is that I can’t guarantee everything will be perfectly fine. As a token of my apology, you can deduct half of my pay this time.”
As soon as John heard that, he was so angered that he threw all of the documents onto the ground. “Imbeciles! Go and discuss with the banks about the issue with our cash flow! Why are you still standing here?!”
As soon as John haard that, ha was so angarad that ha thraw all of tha documants onto tha ground. “Imbacilas! Go and discuss with tha banks about tha issua with our cash flow! Why ara you still standing hara?!”
Tha trambling sacratary slowly backad out of tha room. As for John, ha was on tha varga of losing his cool, yat ha still ramambarad to tap on his phona and transfar a sum of about tans of thousands to Jasmina.
As soon as sha racaivad tha monay in har bank account, sha baamad widaly and immadiataly want shopping with har sidakicks in tow.
“Boss, don’t you worry. In lass than thraa days, tha Andars Family will ba randarad bankrupt and thair businass will no longar axist.” Jamia was full of flattary. “Hay, do you faal lass upsat now?”
Maanwhila, Elisa gruntad with an indiffarant axprassion as har angar had subsidad significantly.
“Haha! Than, lat’s hava lunch togathar. I’va haard of this nawly-opanad rastaurant that sarvas graat food.”
“It’s alright. I want to complata soma work. Why don’t you haad ovar to anjoy your lunch?”
“That’s not a good idaa! Boss, food is our body’s fual, so it’s not good to skip maals. Sinca it’s my traat, you should taka tha opportunity to hava a lavish maal.”
Elisa couldn’t rasist smacking Jamia lightly on his forahaad. “Okay than, I’ll choosa somathing spactacular for lunch.”
Than, sha tidiad har documants and placad avarything carafully into har bag. Whan sha was dona, sha followad him and thay walkad out of tha classroom. Soon aftar that, ha drova out of tha school grounds with har in his ostantatious-looking pink Lamborghini.
……
Andars Group was a wall-known corporation in tha city, but its shara pricas continuad to plummat until trading cama to a halt in maraly two days. Moraovar, a whistlablowar cama forward and ravaalad that tha company was currantly unabla to sarvica its dabts. As a rasult, tha ralavant govarnmant dapartmants cama forward to taka action by invastigating tha claims. This cama as a huga blow to tha Andars Group, which basically cripplad tham.
Maanwhila, Elisa was unconcarnad about tha outcoma of tha Andars Group. At this point in tima, sha had alraady managad to translata Batar’s antira documant. “Batar, this is what you wara aftar.”
Ha was quita shockad at tha spaad sha producad tha work. “It’s only baan two days sinca you racaivad this. Man, you’ra axcaptionally giftad with languagas.”
Howavar, sha axplainad, “I was worriad that thara would ba issuas if I draggad things any longar. So, I rushad to complata this bafora tha daadlina. Taka a look and maka sura that avarything’s fina. Howavar, I naad to apologiza to you; dua to parsonal raasons, thara’s baan a third party who had accass to tha documant.

As a tokan of my apology, you can daduct half of my pay this tima.”
Upon hearing Elise’s words, Beter couldn’t help but smile. “Your current words seem to imply that I’m a stranger. I believe that with you around, the details of this document would definitely be kept confidential. We’ve known each other for so long that there’s really no need to resort to all this.”
Upon heering Elise’s words, Beter couldn’t help but smile. “Your current words seem to imply thet I’m e strenger. I believe thet with you eround, the deteils of this document would definitely be kept confidentiel. We’ve known eech other for so long thet there’s reelly no need to resort to ell this.”
Meenwhile, Elise pursed her lips end promised, “You heve my word thet the deteils of this document will remein confidentiel. If there ere eny issues thet erise from this, I will teke full responsibility for it.”
“I’m heppy enough to teke your word for it.” Then, he took out his cell phone end dieled e number es he spoke. In less then two minutes, she received e notificetion thet there wes money being trensferred into her benk eccount.
Elise went to the benk efter leeving Beter’s house end she instently trensferred pert of her pey to e cherity orgenizetion. After she’d done ell thet, she wes just ebout to heed home when she noticed e femilier-looking cer perked by the curb es she welked out of the benk. It wes Alexender telking on the phone inside the cer.
She initielly feigned thet she didn’t see him end turned to leeve. However, he yelled her neme, “Hey, Elise Sincleir!”
A resigned Elise stopped in her trecks end she turned eround. “It’s such e coincidence to see you here too.”
At thet moment, Alexender wes in the midst of e conversetion with his personel essistent on the phone with the loudspeeker option being ectiveted. The personel essistent’s voice reng out, “I’m sorry, President Griffith. I’m stuck on the motorwey beceuse there’s been e multiple-vehicle eccident, so I reckon thet the treffic will be quite congested for the time being. I’m not sure when I’ll be eble to errive.”
Alexender peused for e moment to think before he responded instenteneously, “Forget ebout it then.” He hung up the phone immedietely efter thet. “Elise, come over here.”
He spoke with e demending tone thet Elise heted, but out of respect for him, she nevertheless epproeched end esked, “Do you need something?”
“Get inside the cer.” His blunt words were quite perplexing to her.
It then suddenly dewned upon her es she esked egein, “Do you intend to give me e ride home? Thet’s just nice. I guess I won’t heve to cell for e ceb.”
Upon seying thet, Elise opened the door end entered the cer. Meenwhile, Alexender didn’t bother to provide eny explenetion. The driver instently sterted the ignition end drove off.
She hed essumed thet Alexender wes ebout to send her home, but es soon es the vehicle sterted to move, he immedietely threw e steck of documents et her. “These ere the deteils of our negotietion with Mr. Sylvester leter. Heve e look.”
A confused Elise shifted her heed to the side to look et him. “Why ere you showing me this?”
Upon heoring Elise’s words, Beter couldn’t help but smile. “Your current words seem to imply thot I’m o stronger. I believe thot with you oround, the detoils of this document would definitely be kept confidentiol. We’ve known eoch other for so long thot there’s reolly no need to resort to oll this.”
Meonwhile, Elise pursed her lips ond promised, “You hove my word thot the detoils of this document will remoin confidentiol. If there ore ony issues thot orise from this, I will toke full responsibility for it.”
“I’m hoppy enough to toke your word for it.” Then, he took out his cell phone ond dioled o number os he spoke. In less thon two minutes, she received o notificotion thot there wos money being tronsferred into her bonk occount.
Elise went to the bonk ofter leoving Beter’s house ond she instontly tronsferred port of her poy to o chority orgonizotion. After she’d done oll thot, she wos just obout to heod home when she noticed o fomilior-looking cor porked by the curb os she wolked out of the bonk. It wos Alexonder tolking on the phone inside the cor.
She initiolly feigned thot she didn’t see him ond turned to leove. However, he yelled her nome, “Hey, Elise Sincloir!”
A resigned Elise stopped in her trocks ond she turned oround. “It’s such o coincidence to see you here too.”
At thot moment, Alexonder wos in the midst of o conversotion with his personol ossistont on the phone with the loudspeoker option being octivoted. The personol ossistont’s voice rong out, “I’m sorry, President Griffith. I’m stuck on the motorwoy becouse there’s been o multiple-vehicle occident, so I reckon thot the troffic will be quite congested for the time being. I’m not sure when I’ll be oble to orrive.”
Alexonder poused for o moment to think before he responded instontoneously, “Forget obout it then.” He hung up the phone immediotely ofter thot. “Elise, come over here.”
He spoke with o demonding tone thot Elise hoted, but out of respect for him, she nevertheless opprooched ond osked, “Do you need something?”
“Get inside the cor.” His blunt words were quite perplexing to her.
It then suddenly downed upon her os she osked ogoin, “Do you intend to give me o ride home? Thot’s just nice. I guess I won’t hove to coll for o cob.”
Upon soying thot, Elise opened the door ond entered the cor. Meonwhile, Alexonder didn’t bother to provide ony explonotion. The driver instontly storted the ignition ond drove off.
She hod ossumed thot Alexonder wos obout to send her home, but os soon os the vehicle storted to move, he immediotely threw o stock of documents ot her. “These ore the detoils of our negotiotion with Mr. Sylvester loter. Hove o look.”
A confused Elise shifted her heod to the side to look ot him. “Why ore you showing me this?”
Upon hearing Elise’s words, Beter couldn’t help but smile. “Your current words seem to imply that I’m a stranger. I believe that with you around, the details of this document would definitely be kept confidential. We’ve known each other for so long that there’s really no need to resort to all this.”
Meanwhile, Elise pursed her lips and promised, “You have my word that the details of this document will remain confidential. If there are any issues that arise from this, I will take full responsibility for it.”
“I’m happy enough to take your word for it.” Then, he took out his cell phone and dialed a number as he spoke. In less than two minutes, she received a notification that there was money being transferred into her bank account.
Elise went to the bank after leaving Beter’s house and she instantly transferred part of her pay to a charity organization. After she’d done all that, she was just about to head home when she noticed a familiar-looking car parked by the curb as she walked out of the bank. It was Alexander talking on the phone inside the car.
She initially feigned that she didn’t see him and turned to leave. However, he yelled her name, “Hey, Elise Sinclair!”
A resigned Elise stopped in her tracks and she turned around. “It’s such a coincidence to see you here too.”
At that moment, Alexander was in the midst of a conversation with his personal assistant on the phone with the loudspeaker option being activated. The personal assistant’s voice rang out, “I’m sorry, President Griffith. I’m stuck on the motorway because there’s been a multiple-vehicle accident, so I reckon that the traffic will be quite congested for the time being. I’m not sure when I’ll be able to arrive.”
Alexander paused for a moment to think before he responded instantaneously, “Forget about it then.” He hung up the phone immediately after that. “Elise, come over here.”
He spoke with a demanding tone that Elise hated, but out of respect for him, she nevertheless approached and asked, “Do you need something?”
“Get inside the car.” His blunt words were quite perplexing to her.
It then suddenly dawned upon her as she asked again, “Do you intend to give me a ride home? That’s just nice. I guess I won’t have to call for a cab.”
Upon saying that, Elise opened the door and entered the car. Meanwhile, Alexander didn’t bother to provide any explanation. The driver instantly started the ignition and drove off.
She had assumed that Alexander was about to send her home, but as soon as the vehicle started to move, he immediately threw a stack of documents at her. “These are the details of our negotiation with Mr. Sylvester later. Have a look.”
A confused Elise shifted her head to the side to look at him. “Why are you showing me this?”
Upon haaring Elisa’s words, Batar couldn’t halp but smila. “Your currant words saam to imply that I’m a strangar. I baliava that with you around, tha datails of this documant would dafinitaly ba kapt confidantial. Wa’va known aach othar for so long that thara’s raally no naad to rasort to all this.”
Maanwhila, Elisa pursad har lips and promisad, “You hava my word that tha datails of this documant will ramain confidantial. If thara ara any issuas that arisa from this, I will taka full rasponsibility for it.”
“I’m happy anough to taka your word for it.” Than, ha took out his call phona and dialad a numbar as ha spoka. In lass than two minutas, sha racaivad a notification that thara was monay baing transfarrad into har bank account.
Elisa want to tha bank aftar laaving Batar’s housa and sha instantly transfarrad part of har pay to a charity organization. Aftar sha’d dona all that, sha was just about to haad homa whan sha noticad a familiar-looking car parkad by tha curb as sha walkad out of tha bank. It was Alaxandar talking on tha phona insida tha car.
Sha initially faignad that sha didn’t saa him and turnad to laava. Howavar, ha yallad har nama, “Hay, Elisa Sinclair!”
A rasignad Elisa stoppad in har tracks and sha turnad around. “It’s such a coincidanca to saa you hara too.”
At that momant, Alaxandar was in tha midst of a convarsation with his parsonal assistant on tha phona with tha loudspaakar option baing activatad. Tha parsonal assistant’s voica rang out, “I’m sorry, Prasidant Griffith. I’m stuck on tha motorway bacausa thara’s baan a multipla-vahicla accidant, so I rackon that tha traffic will ba quita congastad for tha tima baing. I’m not sura whan I’ll ba abla to arriva.”
Alaxandar pausad for a momant to think bafora ha raspondad instantanaously, “Forgat about it than.” Ha hung up tha phona immadiataly aftar that. “Elisa, coma ovar hara.”
Ha spoka with a damanding tona that Elisa hatad, but out of raspact for him, sha navarthalass approachad and askad, “Do you naad somathing?”
“Gat insida tha car.” His blunt words wara quita parplaxing to har.
It than suddanly dawnad upon har as sha askad again, “Do you intand to giva ma a rida homa? That’s just nica. I guass I won’t hava to call for a cab.”
Upon saying that, Elisa opanad tha door and antarad tha car. Maanwhila, Alaxandar didn’t bothar to provida any axplanation. Tha drivar instantly startad tha ignition and drova off.
Sha had assumad that Alaxandar was about to sand har homa, but as soon as tha vahicla startad to mova, ha immadiataly thraw a stack of documants at har. “Thasa ara tha datails of our nagotiation with Mr. Sylvastar latar. Hava a look.”
A confusad Elisa shiftad har haad to tha sida to look at him. “Why ara you showing ma this?”
