Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 785

Chapter 785 Avoid Trouble

Those two were really sworn enemies!

“Guys, guys!” Forced to raise her voice, Elise almost exposed her original voice, so she hastily coughed twice to hide it. “Ahem, it’s not time yet, so please don’t disturb the others who are resting!”

Since their idol was the one speaking, the two naturally stopped. Jamie tossed the cookie box to Narissa. “Here, you can have it back. I don’t need it anyway!”

“Hey! You already ate half of it! You will pay with your life!”

Narissa stuffed the cookie box into Elise’s arms, about to run after him. However, Jamie had already predicted her reaction, so by then, he was far away in the distance.

He stood around 5 feet from them, setting his index and middle fingers against the end of his brow and flicking upward as he offered them a salute. “Adios!” With that, he escaped straight away.

Narissa was so pissed that she stomped her feet, screaming maniacally at his figure, “You chicken! Stay behind and fight if you dare!” Jamie gleefully shook his head, running even faster. Soon, he disappeared at the main entrance.

Narissa couldn’t do anything about it, so she could only glare at him.

Elise joked on purpose, saying, “Miss Cuber, you and Mr. Keller seem very close.”

“Close? There’s nothing like that between us,” Narissa said stubbornly, “I got close to him because he’s stupid but wealthy, and he’s even generous. If not, I would’ve ignored him!”

“Whatever you say.” Elise saw through Narissa, but she didn’t expose the latter. She was arranging the cookies neatly in the box when she noticed Narissa’s outfit. She asked casually, “Did you come by bike?”

Narissa’s eyes lit up. “You know about bikes too?”

Elise smiled and shook her head, speaking without a change in expression. “Not really, but I think it’s cool. So, can you take me somewhere?”

“Let’s go!”

Half an hour later, Narissa’s bike pulled up in front of the building that housed the headquarters of Keller Group.

Elise took off her helmet and placed it in Narissa’s hands. “Thanks for the ride, Miss Cuber. I have something to attend to up there, so you don’t have to wait for me.”

“Okay.” Narissa gestured with an ‘okay’ sign.

Elise pursed her lips and smiled, then turned around and walked into the building. Helmet in her arms, Narissa thought about it for a while, then looked up at the ‘Keller Group’ sign hanging on the building. She felt a little uneasy now.

Isn’t this Jamie’s property? If Elise is coming over, then why didn’t she tell him just now?

At that thought, Narissa still couldn’t relax, so she hastily drove into the basement parking lot.

Following the brief contents she found online, Elise took the elevator to the 12th floor. She rounded a corner, then immediately caught sight of the logo belonging to Skycity Construction Company.

“Hey!” With that, Narissa stormed up to them and planted her feet behind Elise. She picked up the document and extended it to the woman. “Didn’t your parents teach you to do your own work? Take this back!”

“Who are you? What’s it to you?” the woman scoffed, covering her nose with her hand. She had an annoyed look on her face.

“Who cares who I am! I just cannot stand by and watch you throw your weight around.” Narissa was defiant. Even if everyone in the office gave her weird looks, she didn’t seem to be afraid at all.

“Quit poking your nose in other people’s business! What do you know? You’re just trying to be a goody two shoes. Anastasia likes doing things for others, and she’d feel so bad if she didn’t help anyone. I’m doing this for her own good, don’t you know?”

The female colleague had a haughty attitude as she said, “Go ahead and ask around. Everyone in the office does it. I’m not the only one, and Anastasia didn’t even say anything about it. You’re just an outsider, so why are you interrupting?”

Narissa opened her mouth to protest, but Elise suddenly stood up and stopped her. “Miss Cuber, forget it. We should avoid trouble.”

“I can’t do that. Compromise once, and you won’t ever be able to stand up to them for the rest of your life. You can’t just let them bully you!” Narissa had a quick temper, and she wanted things to be straightened out as soon as possible.

“You may feel good about it now, but have you considered how I would be treated later on?” Elise said patiently. “I have to keep working here, so can I just stop talking to my colleagues? Is that realistic?”

Narissa looked at her in disbelief. “Elise, do you really think that? I can understand if you don’t get angry about your sister, but you’re holding back even now?”

She flung Elise’s hand away in disappointment. “I was wondering, maybe deep down you’re really just weak and timid. Did the decisive and independent person you wrote about really exist? I’m disappointed in you.”
