Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 781 She Hasn’t Coaxed Me

Soon, Brendan made his way to the bar and got himself a glass of champagne, which he guzzled down in one shot. In fact, he immediately caught on to the situation the moment Danny mentioned Alexander’s name. Despite their brotherhood, he felt sorry for Elise because it seemed to him that Alexander cheated on her with another lady after she left for three months.

After all, she had many admirers and could have settled with anyone among them, yet she picked Alexander instead. At the thought of that, Brendan felt his anger gnawing at his mind as his abnormal obsession with flawlessness began to take over him.

Deep down, he could never tolerate any unfaithful behavior in a relationship. Although that started as a perfectionism complex at first, that obsession grew even stronger ever since Yuri came back. Therefore, he tended to lose control over himself and let his emotions get the better of him whenever he ran into something like that.

“Mr. Griffith.” A lady’s voice was heard coming from not far away.

Brendan quickly pulled himself together, but when he saw ‘Anastasia’, the smile on his face instantly faded away. Elise then walked up to the man and raised her glass to toast him. “Thanks for the help both of you gave me last time. Where is the other Mr. Griffith?”

Brendan looked back in frustration, glaring at the lady emotionlessly. “Are you trying to thank me or my brother? I’m here for work, so why should I bring him along?” Upon hearing that, Elise awkwardly raised her eyebrows because she hadn’t heard Brendan’s impulsive tone for a while. “Anyway, my brother is already married, and his wife is Elise Sinclair. That’s also the same way everyone else in our family feels. So, if I were you, I wouldn’t waste my time and energy on any more silly plans, Miss White.” Brendan made his point understood intimidatingly.

Elise was amused yet helpless after hearing Brendan’s words. Although she was happy deep down that Brendan stood up for her, she hoped that the Griffith Family could forget about her, considering the gravity of the situation. If the Griffith Family can’t remember about me at all, I suppose I don’t have to be concerned about the Boyle Family and those unseen forces backing them in the shadows. As much as Elise was aware of her responsibilities, she knew there was no way she could rush the process. “You’re getting the wrong idea, Mr. Griffith.” Elise patiently tried to continue smiling. “I was just about to recommend someone to work for you out of my admiration for your talent. Nothing else more.”
