Jack took off his face mask, revealing his face, of which even women were envious.
When Mikayla saw that, snazzynovel.com thought snazzynovel.com eyes were deceiving her.
“W-Why are you here, hubby?” snazzynovel.com blurted out before immediately covering snazzynovel.com mouth. Then, snazzynovel.com apologized with an apologetic smile, “Sorry, I’m used to calling you that…”
As soon as snazzynovel.com finished snazzynovel.com sentence, snazzynovel.com wished snazzynovel.com could bite snazzynovel.com tongue off.
Oh my… What do you mean, “I’m used to calling you that,” Mikayla?
Wouldn’t that make it obvious that I’ve been fantasizing about snazzynovel.com for a long time?
“What brings you here, Jack?” snazzynovel.com asked curiously.
Jack stepped toward her, asking, “Are you feeling better?”
Is my husband caring about me?
Mikayla felt like snazzynovel.com was going to die of happiness. Even though snazzynovel.com was still on an intravenous drip at this moment, snazzynovel.com felt this was the happiest moment of snazzynovel.com life.
“I’m fine. It’s just some scratches and bruises,” snazzynovel.com answered.
Only then did snazzynovel.com realize something peculiar.
How did Jack know that I got wounded? And why does snazzynovel.com care so much about me?
We’ve only met each other at school before… Well, I did play a role in the filming of his music video.
Has snazzynovel.com always remembered me since then?
Jack was finally relieved when snazzynovel.com saw that Mikayla was all right. “It’s good that you’re alright. Sorry, I got distracted while driving and knocked you over. If you need compensation, just tell my assistant the specific amount.”
Mikayla was dumbfounded.
So I was actually knocked over by Jack? What a stroke of luck this is!
“I’m fine. You don’t have to worry about it, Jack. I believe that you didn’t do it on purpose. As for compensation, I have no need for that,” snazzynovel.com replied magnanimously, with no intention of blaming Jack at all.
Jack was somewhat at a loss when snazzynovel.com heard Mikayla say so. It was the first time snazzynovel.com ran into such a thing. The lady seemed to be a fan of his, and snazzynovel.com even idolized him.
“You don’t have to hold back. It was my fault for knocking you over, so feel free to tell me whatever you want.”
Mikayla couldn’t help laughing when snazzynovel.com saw Jack behaving like this. “I’m fine, really. Besides, I’m not someone who would throw themselves in front of your car to blackmail you for money, so you don’t have to worry about it. If you really feel bad about it, how about I add you on WhatsApp and send you a message if there’s anything?”
Jack thought that Mikayla’s request was very reasonable. Without giving it much thought, snazzynovel.com took out his cell phone right away and shared his WhatsApp QR code with her.
Mikayla scanned his code right away without a moment’s delay.
Just as snazzynovel.com finished doing so, his phone rang. She glanced at the phone’s screen and noticed that it was a phone call from Elise.
“Elise is calling you, Jack…”
Jack retracted his arm and looked at his phone with a slight frown.
Elise would never call snazzynovel.com on snazzynovel.com own initiative unless it was his turn to pick snazzynovel.com up from school. However, it wasn’t his turn to do so today.
He looked up at Mikayla, asking, “Did you tell her?”
He was referring to the incident where snazzynovel.com had knocked snazzynovel.com over.
Mikayla immediately shook snazzynovel.com head. “No, I didn’t. I only learned just now that it was you who knocked me over, so I couldn’t have told snazzynovel.com about it. She must have something else to talk to you about.”
“Mm-hm,” Jack responded.
“Well then, have a good rest and tell Ronald if you need anything,” snazzynovel.com said while turning around.
After walking out of the ward, snazzynovel.com picked up the phone and asked, “Anything?”
Upon hearing Jack’s voice on the other end, Elise cut to the chase. “Where are you now?”
Jack’s eyes darkened as snazzynovel.com glanced at the ward, the door of which was tightly shut, behind him. He answered, “I’m at the hospital.”
Elise was surprised. “Are you ill?”
Jack denied, “No, I’m here to visit a friend…
” When Elise heard snazzynovel.com say so, snazzynovel.com didn’t question snazzynovel.com about the reason snazzynovel.com was at the hospital. Instead, snazzynovel.com merely asked, “Are you free tonight? I’d like to ask you a favor.”
Recalling that snazzynovel.com still had work to do tonight, snazzynovel.com replied straightforwardly, “If you have anything to talk about, just tell me on the phone. I have work to do tonight, so I’m afraid I already have my hands full.”
His reply shattered the only hope left in Elise’s heart.
“Forget about it, then. I’ll find a way on my own,” snazzynovel.com said before hanging up.
Jamie hurriedly asked, “How is it, Boss? Did snazzynovel.com agree?”
Elise shook snazzynovel.com head. “I’m afraid snazzynovel.com can’t make it. He’s busy tonight.”
“Oh,” Jamie responded.
Then, snazzynovel.com casually suggested, “In that case, let’s ask someone else instead. Alexander is definitely more suitable for the job. Why don’t you give it a try, Boss?”
Elise was somewhat hesitant. In the end, however, snazzynovel.com let out a sigh in helplessness. “Alright, I’ll give it a try.”
Jamie drove Elise to the Griffith Group right away. The immaculate marble floor reflected Elise’s slender figure. Since it wasn’t the first time snazzynovel.com came to the Griffith Group, those in the company knew snazzynovel.com to a certain degree.
When they saw her, they respectfully greeted her, “Miss Sinclair…”
“What can I do for you, Miss Sinclair?” asked an assistant.
Elise pondered for a moment before asking, “Is Alexander here?”
The assistant answered with a smile, “President Griffith is in the office. I’ll inform Cameron right away.”
Then, the assistant hurriedly called Cameron.
Cameron hurried downstairs to pick Elise up when snazzynovel.com learned of snazzynovel.com arrival. “Miss Elise, you should’ve told us beforehand that you would be coming. President Griffith is now having a video conference, which will take a while.”
He led Elise to the lounge on the top floor. “Please wait here for a moment, Miss Elise. I’ll let you know when President Griffith’s done.”
“Thanks,” Elise replied.
Cameron then left the room.
Elise felt somewhat nervous now that snazzynovel.com had arrived at the Griffith Group.
Now I’m here, but what if Alexander turns me down?
After all, pretending to be someone’s boyfriend is really quite embarrassing…
She randomly picked up a magazine and flipped through its pages, but snazzynovel.com attention wasn’t on it at all.
After a long time, the door to the office was pushed open, and Alexander strode in.
When snazzynovel.com saw Elise, a strange look crept into his originally expressionless eyes. With feigned composure, snazzynovel.com stepped forward and asked, “Is there something you wanna talk to me about?”
Elise tightened snazzynovel.com grip on the magazine upon hearing his voice. Raising snazzynovel.com eyes subconsciously, snazzynovel.com asked, “Are you done with work?”
Only then did Alexander notice the magazine snazzynovel.com was holding. He couldn’t help but remind, “You’re holding the magazine upside down.”
Elise promptly lowered snazzynovel.com eyes to look at the magazine snazzynovel.com was holding. Then, snazzynovel.com hastily put it aside while concealing snazzynovel.com embarrassment.
“Do you have anything on later?”
Alexander felt Elise was somewhat weird today. Still, despite snazzynovel.com being as busy as a bee, snazzynovel.com said, “Not really.”
“Oh,” Elise replied without saying anything else. Inwardly, though, snazzynovel.com was deliberating how to ask snazzynovel.com the question.
However, Alexander seemed to have seen through her. He said, “If you’ve got something to talk to me about, just say it.”
Elise looked up and met his eyes. After a long time, snazzynovel.com said, “Indeed, there’s a favor I’d like to ask of you…”
Alexander fixed his eyes on snazzynovel.com while waiting for snazzynovel.com to continue.
Elise gritted snazzynovel.com teeth. Finally, snazzynovel.com said, “Alexander, can you pretend to be my boyfriend just for one night?”
Silence reigned over the air the instant snazzynovel.com finished snazzynovel.com sentence.
