Coolest Girl in Town

Elise frowned in annoyance as she thought, I‘ve already warned him against the effect of the fruit liqueur earlier, but he still couldn‘t restrain himself. Regardless, I can‘t leave him by himself now when he‘s in this state. 

Despite that, she shuddered when she recalled what happened the last time.

Back at the hotel, she went straight to the hotel staff and passed them a stack of bills while requesting, “Please send him back to his room.”

Seeing the wad of cash in front of their eyes, the hotel staff didn’t even hesitate for a second before he called another colleague over to help him bring Alexander back to his room.

The next morning, Elise happened to run into Alexander when she stepped out of her room and saw that he had already recovered his usual energy. “Morning, Mr. Griffith,” she greeted.

His eyes were fixed on her for a few seconds before he finally uttered, “Morning.”

They got into the elevator one after the other, and the moment the doors slid shut, he said, “Sare, thanks for bringing me back yesterday.” Then, he whisked out a cheque he had prepared beforehand and passed it to her. “This is for the trouble you went through.”

Stealing a peek at the cheque, Elise was shocked to see that it was worth 200,000! All I can say is, he‘s a really, really generous man! she thought.

Nevertheless, she felt that she didn’t deserve it because she didn’t do much, so she rejected it. “That’s alright, Mr. Griffith. It’s just a small matter that’s not worth mentioning.”

Her words made him grow solemn, and when he spoke again, his voice sounded a little aloof. “I don’t take rejection very well. Moreover, I don’t want anyone else to know what happened last night.”

So, he‘s using this money to buy my silence? After thinking for a while, Elise decided to accept the cheque in the end. Why didn‘t I realize before that Alexander has the habit of giving cheques? 

“Thank you, Mr. Griffith. Rest assured that I won’t breathe a word about what happened last night,” she promised.
