Nathan wasn‘t interested in the insignificant domestic stock market since he was recently more involved
in the international stock market, which had a capital flow of easily hundreds of millions.
However, now that the A had invited him, he had no reason to reject the offer, so he replied: ‘It will be my
honor.’
As soon as the message was sent, the other party immediately went offline.
For now, he just needed to wait for A to contact him again.
While rubbing his hands together with a smirk, Nathan stared at the chat box on his screen the entire
time as a flame of excitement slowly began to burn in his eyes.
He couldn‘t wait to see what kind of surprises A would bring.
On the other end, the moment Elise logged out of the software, she immediately began to update the
computer‘s system.
It had been 6 years since she used this laptop in which technology had already advanced tremendously
over the years. Although some hackers these days would still find it hard to crack the firewall she
installed 6 years ago, the system was no longer a match against the top hackers in the world. For her to
be well hidden from the Internet in today‘s technological world, her computer would need an upgrade.
After all, for A to resurface once again, it would be a big deal for many people.
After everything was settled, Elise returned her computer back to where it belonged and prepared to
head out to purchase some necessities for Jeanie.
As she was leaving, she realized that Alexander‘s car was still parked outside.
Al the moment, he seemed to be focused on something while he sat inside the car. The sunlight that
reflected off the car made it difficult to see what was going on inside, but she was still able to see his
chiseled jawline. He still looks as charming and gentle as ever:
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElise was stunned for a moment as she thought that he would leave immediately after sending them
here.
Then, she walked toward him and knocked on the window of the passenger seat,
When Alexander heard the sound and saw that it was Elise, he smirked subconsciously while setting
aside the tablet in his hands and rolled down the window. “Are you going out? Do I have the honor to be
your driver for the day?”
She knew that he was busier than the average person since the entire Griffith Group had rested on his
shoulders and he sometimes wouldn‘t even have the time to eat, so she didn‘t want to waste too much of
his time.
“I‘m just going to the nearby supermarket to buy something. I can just walk there, so you don‘t have to
drive me. You should go back to your company first,” she responded faintly.
However, Alexander didn‘t give her an answer. Instead, he unfastened his seatbelt and went out of the
vehicle to open the door for her like a gentleman. “I can go to the company any time, but I can‘t meet my
fiancee all the time. Can‘t you allow me to be şelfish for one time?
Elise had no other choice, so she nodded her head and entered his car.
There weren‘t a lot of people at the supermarket, but when they appeared together, they attracted a lot of
attention.
As she passed by the drug store in the mall, she noticed the bottle of cold medicine that the Sinclair
Family always had when she was a kid was on sale, so she went over and picked it up to have a look.
After all these years, the price and packaging still remain as cheap as ever.
Then, the promoter approached her and introduced, “Miss, the one you‘re holding now is a freebie. You
can collect it after you purchase any product from Olson Pharmaceuticals.”
“A freebie?” She pointed at the cold medicine in her hand.
“Yes.” The promoter smiled and nodded.
Without saying anything, Elise returned the bottle of medicine back to the shelves. “Thank you.”
Before leaving, she took a quick glance at the medical products from Olson Pharmaceuticals. They were
all placed at the front and it stood out from the others. Suddenly, a hint of coldness flashed through her
beautiful eyes, which was enough to make anyone‘s heart sink.
Although she was able to hide her expression well, she wasn‘t able to escape
Alexander‘s eagle eyes as he captured her little reaction.
Soon after, he casually mentioned Frazier Pharmaceuticals‘ current situation. “The Olson
Pharmaceuticals has been in rapid development in recent years to a point where all their rivals are now
in trouble. I would say that Frazier Pharmaceuticals is impressive enough to survive until now despite
being one of their rivals.”
“That doesn‘t sound like a compliment.” Elise picked up a soft towel and placed it into the cart.
Alexander chuckled and calmly continued, “The Fraziers are lacking in management, so it makes sense
that they are being taken advantage of. After all, the market would be more accepting toward new ideas.”
As she listened to him, she stopped in her tracks and listed her head to look at him with her cold yet
stubborn eyes. “From my point of view, there‘s a sense of belonging only when working on new ideas
with old components. If everything is new, there will be no sentiments. What do you think?”
He lowered his gaze and noticed that under the lights, her skin was particularly fair while her irises in the
color of merlot slickered delicately under her narrow eyelashes.
As he couldn‘t control himself, he took a deep breath to calm himself down, but a smirk still escaped from
his lips. “Are you talking about the people or the medicine?”
Elise immediately understood the meaning behind his words and quickly dodged his burning eyes before
pretending to casually walk forward while saying, “I‘m talking about both. Like what you just said, the
Fraziers‘ problem is their management but not their products. I think that ethical companies like them are
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbetter than those who only focus on building fancy brands for their company.”
Alexander followed her with a laugh. “I agree, so let‘s hope there‘s a savior who can help the Fraziers
out.”
“There will be,” Elise murmured in such a soft tone that no one other than herself caught it.
Over at the cashier, her phone rang just as she was about to make the payment, so she had to move
aside to answer the call.
Therefore, he took out his phone to pay instead before standing aside to wait for their purchased items to
be bagged.
“Professor Merlin, is there anything I can help you with?” Elise spoke into her phone.
“Elise, please tell me the truth. Did you really solve those questions yourself?” Professor Merlin asked in
a stern tone as if she had landed into trouble.
“Yes,” she answered with confidence.
“Come to my office. Do you still remember where it is?”
A polite Elise answered, “I do.”
“You must come now. We‘ll be waiting here for you,” he said firmly before ending the call.
After hearing Professor Merlin speaking to her in such a stern and rushed tone, she was confused,
especially when he had always been polite and gentle to her in the past. What‘s going on today? Also,
he mentioned ‘we‘ just now, so who else is there?
Elise had a bad feeling about what was about to happen, as if a storm was coming.
Then, Alexander collected the bags and saw her zoning out with her phone in her hand, so he
approached her and asked with concern, “Who were you on the phone with?”
She snapped out of her daze and shook her head. “It was from the school. They want to see me right
now.”
“Alright. I‘ll send you there.”
She didn‘t dare to refuse Professor Merlin when she heard how anxious he was on the phone.
On the way to the school, she had received a message from Addison, which read, ‘Ellie, go and take a
look at the school forum now!‘
