Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 992

Wendy nodded with satisfaction.

"You've always been the member I'm most satisfied with, but while it is important to plant a spy beside

Alexander, it must not get in the way of executing our plan. Since the Heidelbergs' research team has

been confirmed, we must ensure they're of service to me as quickly as possible."

Owen nodded. "Don't worry. Everything's going according to plan. I've already bought a small island out

on the ocean and the island's defense system is entirely in place. We can send them over there at

once. Once they create the drug, we can destroy all of the lowly dregs out there! Soon, we will

establish a new world order!"

When Elise got home, Alexander was already sitting in the living room.

She was dragged into his embrace as soon as she walked over.

Alexander bent down and brushed his nose against hers. "You've been running into that punk a little

more than I care for lately. I'm starting to feel threatened."

"You should," Elise announced seriously as she seized the chance to tease him. "Ele wants you to get

cheated on."

Alexander turned away as he touched his left eyebrow with a derisive snort. "This isn't his first attempt

at that, but even if that's what he wants, so what? He lost to me eight years ago. Why would I be afraid

of him now?"

"You're that confident in yourself, huh?" Elise eyed him with a devilish look.

Alexander held her close and responded sweetly, "Well, that's only because I have complete faith in my

wife. Why would you be interested in a man like Owen when you've already had a taste of someone as

exceptional as me?"

"You're right. I'm not interested in him at all," Elise said truthfully with a laugh. "But he's probably not

truly interested in me either. He just wants someone to help him keep an eye on you and report your

latest happenings to him."

"In that case, why don't we tell him exactly what he wants to hear?" Alexander's eyes were cold as he

stared ahead. He remained expressionless but his aura was inordinately imposing. "If we want to

destroy our enemy, we must first let him soar to greater heights. The higher he climbs, the harder he

falls!"

This was right in line with Elise's thoughts.

She squeezed Alexander's cheeks like an impatient child seeking attention. "Did you plant a bug inside

my head? How did you know what I was thinking?"

"I'm not sure about a bug," Alexander replied as he took one of her hands and rubbed her waist. "But I

do wish that a little tadpole of mine's here in your belly. I've been putting in so much effort for so long

now, wifey. Do you really feel nothing at all?"

"Not at all!" Elise pinched his ear with an angry huff. "Watch what you say at home! Don't let the kids

hear you. Didn't you hear what Irvin said the last time?"

Alexander winced and rubbed his ear before carrying her in his arms as he stood up.

"Ahh!" Elise exclaimed in shock.

"Shh—" Alexander used her words against her. "Keep it down. The kids will hear you."

Elise bit her lip in anger and pounded him on the chest as she ranted quietly, "You beast!"

"I don't mind being the beast if it means I get to be with the beauty."

Alexander wasn't ashamed at all. In fact, he was proud of it as he took great strides to make his way

upstairs.

After staying at home the whole afternoon, Narissa was bored out of her mind. Thus, she decided to

head to the office and surprise Jamie.

She stopped her car by the side of the road and walked toward her family's company building.

However, the moment she reached the small public square in front of the building, she began to have a

strange feeling. She slowed down and paid attention to what was happening behind her, and sure

enough, she realized that someone was following her.

She pretended to carry on walking forward before she suddenly turned around and locked eyes with a

man out on the sidewalk who was wearing a cap.

The man skedaddled at once upon being detected, and Narissa immediately chased him down.

She had never lost someone in a chase. Although they were separated by the street, she continued to

close the distance with her impressive speed.

As they turned the corner, Narissa managed to catch up to the man. She grabbed his shoulder as she

cried out, "Trying to run, huh?"

However, the man twisted himself out of her grip and fled into the dim bar beside them. It seemed that

he wanted to use the darkness of the bar to his advantage and escape this way.

Narissa was fully confident in her abilities. She kicked the bar's entrance open and rushed in as well.

Just then, the light in front of her was turned on and it lit up the stage, including the band that was up

there.

There was a guitarist, a bassist, a drummer, and a vocalist who just so happened to be Paul.

"Oh, my girl! Let us dance among the stars in the sky!"

"Come rain or shine, we'll stand shoulder to shoulder till the day we die!"

Paul gazed at Narissa with adoring eyes as he rapped a love song. The bar's atmosphere livened up

as well.

Only Narissa kept frowning throughout the performance.

She figured out what was happening. No one was trying to tail her. It was Paul who set everything up.

He planned the whole alarming incident just to trick her into coming to the bar.

Once the song was over, Paul took a rose from one of his subordinates before walking over to Narissa

and holding it out to her with an eager look in his eyes. "This is for you!"

Narissa glanced at the rose before looking at Paul as if she was surveying a fool. "What's wrong with

you?"

"Isn't it obvious what I'm doing? I'm confessing my feelings for you!" Paul declared in all honesty. "I like

you, Narissa. Can you give me a chance to take you out?"

Narissa took a deep breath and crossed her arms. "So, it seems to me that you don't plan on changing

this spoiled brat behavior of yours, huh? Right now, your sister's emotionally unstable, your

grandfather's in the hospital hooked up to a ventilator, and the Heidelbergs' company is going through

numerous crises, but you're still in the mood to put on a show and fool around with these frivolous

things."

"I was just trying to make this a memorable occasion for you." Paul felt helpless and frustrated. "Yes, I

know that my family has a lot on their plate right now, but I have my own life to lead too. I know what

I'm doing. I don't want to lose the woman I want to be with when I'm in the prime of my life."

"You want to be with someone else's fiancee?" Narissa retorted bluntly.

"You're just engaged. You're not married yet. You're still not committed to anyone, so I have the right to

pursue you." Paul knew exactly what to say to defend himself.

"That's true." Narissa nodded. "You have the right to pursue me, but I also have to right to reject you.

Listen closely now. I'm not attracted to you in any way whatsoever, so stop wasting your time on me!"

Once she finished speaking, she turned around and walked away.

Alas, her staunch and straightforward manner only made Paul even more attracted to her. "I won't give

up!"

He held the rose and yelled, "I'm certain that I'll be the one to marry you, Narissa!"

Narissa went back to the office building, but she couldn't be bothered to go up anymore. She stopped

just outside and called Jamie.

Jamie answered within seconds. "What is it, darling?"

"Are you in the office right now?" Narissa asked
