Coolest Girl in Town

When Owen finished speaking, he turned around and left with his subordinates.

After they were gone, only Alexander and Elise were left in the room. However, they looked nothing like their original selves.

At that moment, they stopped pretending as their gazes were filled with love and longing.

As Elise glanced at the man's face that resembled Johnny's, she found it comical.

She finally understood how Alexander felt when he gazed at Anastasia's face.

It was supposed to be a romantic moment since they had been separated for quite a while, but she couldn't help laughing.

A helpless Alexander walked over and showed her his tied hands, motioning for her to set him free.

While untying the rope, Elise asked nervously, "Johnny, has Alexander really fallen ill? Owen is lying to me, isn't he?"

Although the room was full of bugs, there were no cameras at all. Therefore, even though they couldn't speak as freely as they wanted to, they could move around.

"I hope this is a lie, but I'm sorry, Mrs. Griffith. Boss is indeed in a terrible state, and even Doc cannot save him. His days are numbered."

Alexander read out the script he had prepared. Then, he tossed the rope away and extended his hand before pulling the woman into his embrace.

"Boss misses you very much, Mrs. Griffith. He always calls out to you in his dreams."

Confessing his love for the woman in this situation was romantic; it was as though they got to spend their last moments together during doomsday. Elise greedily breathed in the man's smell, which made her feel at ease.

His presence was unique. She felt restrained when they were separated despite having the freedom to go wherever she pleased. However, the moment she saw him, even if she was in prison, she felt free and unfettered.
