At night, Elise sat down in front of her laptop and stared at her chat history with Alexander. After hesitating for a moment, she finally typed out the message she wanted to send him. ‘Mr. Griffith, I’ll be going overseas in a few days’ time. We’ll have to stop the Arisian classes for now, and I’ll inform you once I’m back in the country.’

When Alexander received the message from Sare, he didn’t get the chance to respond immediately as someone knocked on his door just then. Cameron hurried into the room moments later. “President Griffith, I’ve booked the flight tickets to France and the entrance tickets for the French Grand Prix.

After sending the message, Alexander picked up the flight and entrance tickets that had been left on his table.
