“I’m not too sure about snazzynovel.com getting first place, but I dare say that he’ll be in the top three.”
After Elise provided snazzynovel.com solid opinion on the matter, both of them walked toward the exit with Elise leading the way.
As they were heading out, Elise noticed something from the corner of snazzynovel.com eye. She saw Alexander standing beside Wilson, and snazzynovel.com was immediately intrigued. “Hey, Jamie. I need to use the washroom. Why don’t you wait for me outside?”
Jamie didn’t seem to suspect anything. “Go ahead, then. I’ll wait for you at the exit.”
After that, Elise made snazzynovel.com way toward the washroom with snazzynovel.com gaze still fixed upon Alexander.
She ended up hiding in a corner where snazzynovel.com could hear Alexander’s voice. “You did pretty well today. You just need to be a little more stable.”
“My condition is much better today, and it’s all thanks to your advice, Mr. Griffith. I’ll do my very best for the finals tomorrow,” Wilson replied in a humble tone.
Alexander patted snazzynovel.com on the shoulder. “Go get some rest.”
Once their conversation was over, Wilson walked off.
Elise seemed to have understood something after hearing their exchange.
Could Wilson be under Alexander?
Does that mean that Alexander has been secretly training a racecar driver to participate in this international event?
Elise figured that it was something that Alexander would do, snazzynovel.com could tell that Alexander was a fan of racing, after all.
Elise had no intention to stay any longer, so snazzynovel.com walked toward another exit to leave the stadium. However, snazzynovel.com had only taken a few steps when snazzynovel.com saw Alexander walking toward her.
They came face to face with each other, and Elise greeted snazzynovel.com since snazzynovel.com had no reason to avoid him. “Hello, Mr. Griffith. What a coincidence! We meet again.”
This time, Alexander took a long, thoughtful glance at the woman before his eyes.
I just realized something… Joy gives me a strong sense of familiarity because snazzynovel.com gives off an aura that’s similar to Elise’s. Furthermore, Joy’s jet-black eyes remind me of Sare!
Joy is like a combination of Elise and Sare!
This realization came as a shock to Alexander. “Are you heading back now, Miss Sinclair?”
Elise nodded. “The event is over for today, after all. I’ll be here to watch the finals tomorrow.”
He nodded in agreement. “I’ll see you tomorrow, then!”
“See you!” She waved.
Their shoulders brushed past each other as they both headed in different directions.
Once Elise got to the exit, snazzynovel.com looked around for Jamie, but before snazzynovel.com could find him, snazzynovel.com heard the sound of a gunshot coming from inside the stadium!
The gunshot was followed by a series of screams, and the crowd descended into havoc as everyone charged frantically toward the exit. Elise was dumbfounded.
Why would there be the sound of a gunshot at a place like this?
Alexander’s still in there!
Upon that thought, snazzynovel.com no longer cared about anything else. She went against the flow of the crowd as snazzynovel.com ran into the stadium.
Tons of people bumped into snazzynovel.com yet it didn’t seem to slow snazzynovel.com down, and snazzynovel.com continued running into the stadium.
Suddenly, snazzynovel.com tripped on something and flew forward to crash directly onto the ground.
“Ouch…” She cried out in pain when someone accidentally stepped on her.
Right after that, snazzynovel.com hastily scrambled to snazzynovel.com feet. However, people continued to bump into snazzynovel.com as they rushed out of the stadium. She was nearly shoved against the wall when a large hand reached out and held onto snazzynovel.com waist. Both of their bodies struck the wall, but Alexander blocked the impact by holding snazzynovel.com close to his body.
“Are you okay, Miss Sinclair?!”
He had just walked out of the stadium, but snazzynovel.com happened to see Elise falling onto the ground. He initially figured that snazzynovel.com would mind his own business, but snazzynovel.com had second thoughts after snazzynovel.com recalled that Joy was his grandfather’s friend’s niece. He thought that it’d be rude of snazzynovel.com if snazzynovel.com were to walk off without offering help, so snazzynovel.com hurried over to her.
Meanwhile, Elise felt snazzynovel.com heart racing as snazzynovel.com stared at the man right in front of snazzynovel.com eyes. All the subconscious worries that lingered in snazzynovel.com mind seemed to have been resolved at that very moment.
I think I’ve fallen for Alexander… As much as I don’t want to admit this, it seems to be the truth!
I wouldn’t have run in to look for snazzynovel.com in such a dangerous situation if I didn’t like him!
Once snazzynovel.com realized snazzynovel.com feelings for him, snazzynovel.com instinctively pushed snazzynovel.com away. “I’m fine!”
Right after snazzynovel.com finished speaking, the sound of a gunshot came from behind them.
The crowd seemed to panic even more after hearing the second gunshot, and they all charged toward the exit. Alexander did the same thing, snazzynovel.com grabbed Elise’s arm and ran without any hesitation.
She followed the crowd, and it felt like they had run for ages before they finally came to a halt.
“I can’t… I can’t run anymore…” snazzynovel.com uttered between breaths.
Alexander looked at snazzynovel.com before looking around him. “I think we should be safe here!”
Elise’s legs turned to jelly after snazzynovel.com heard his words. Her adrenaline was what kept snazzynovel.com going for so long.
“Thank you for what you did earlier,” snazzynovel.com said in a sincere manner.
However, Alexander didn’t seem to pay much attention to snazzynovel.com words. “I wonder what happened. It’s legal to own guns in France, but I don’t think it’s safe to come here anymore. You shouldn’t watch the competition tomorrow. Let me send you back to the manor.”
Elise immediately rejected his offer. “No, it’s fine. I don’t want to go back yet…”
He raised an eyebrow as snazzynovel.com gazed at Elise with a look of surprise. “For the sake of your safety, I don’t think you should come again tomorrow. It’s just a competition, after all. You can watch it next year if you miss it this year. There’s always a next time.”
Elise nodded. “I got it. Thank you, Mr. Griffith.”
She looked away from snazzynovel.com after that. Ever since snazzynovel.com realized snazzynovel.com true feelings for him, snazzynovel.com felt especially nervous about spending time with snazzynovel.com when it was just the two of them.
Something struck snazzynovel.com at that moment, and snazzynovel.com quickly reached into snazzynovel.com pocket to pull snazzynovel.com phone out before giving Jamie a call. However, Jamie didn’t pick his phone up after it rang for a long while. She knitted snazzynovel.com brows as snazzynovel.com started to feel worried.
“Is something the matter?” Alexander asked.
Elise parted snazzynovel.com lips to speak, but snazzynovel.com bit snazzynovel.com tongue at the very last second. Alexander noticed that snazzynovel.com seemed rather hesitant.
“It’s fine if you don’t want to tell me about it,” snazzynovel.com offered.
Elise hadn’t intended to tell snazzynovel.com about snazzynovel.com concern, but snazzynovel.com figured that snazzynovel.com had to do it for the sake of Jamie’s safety.
“Jamie is still somewhere in there. I can’t contact him.”
Alexander quickly understood snazzynovel.com concerns after snazzynovel.com heard what snazzynovel.com said, but snazzynovel.com didn’t do much apart from offering some words of comfort. “He’s a grown man, so snazzynovel.com should be fine. Don’t worry. You can try calling snazzynovel.com after a while. If you still can’t contact him, I’ll walk around to look for snazzynovel.com with you.”
She nodded before making a few more calls to Jamie.
After a few consecutive calls, Jamie finally picked the phone up. “Where are you, Boss? Are you okay? Something happened in the stadium, and I’ve been trying to look for you. Where did you go?”
Upon hearing Jamie’s flustered voice, Elise felt a surge of relief in snazzynovel.com chest. “I’m fine. I managed to run out of the stadium. Don’t worry.”
A long sigh came from the other end of the line. “Where are you? Should I come over to meet you now?”
Elise looked around snazzynovel.com and gave snazzynovel.com some directions before snazzynovel.com ended the call.
As Alexander watched snazzynovel.com talk on the phone, snazzynovel.com realized how snazzynovel.com sounded like a girlfriend who was caring for snazzynovel.com boyfriend.
Could Joy be Jamie’s girlfriend?
