Coolest Girl in Town
Elise leaned back in her seat and slowly closed her eyes while Alexander gazed at
the sleeping lady from the rear mirror with a faint, yet heartwarming smile. As soon
as Elise got home, she immediately turned on her laptop and hacked into the
computer in Alexander‘s office to erase all the data trails she left behind earlier that afternoon.
When Elise was done with that, she proceeded to translate Aris‘ documents for
Alexander until midnight. Then, she sent the first completed document to Alexander, who responded
with a text message not long after. ‘You‘re super efficient! For that, I think you should be rewarded with a
pay raise.’
However, Elise felt speechless with the man‘s response because she was going to repay Alexander’s
favor anyway. After all, she believed everything came at a
price. Therefore, while she was helping Alexander as a gesture to repay his kindness, there was still no
reason for her to offer her service without charging him.
‘Well, my efficiency depends on the pay, and you pay me well’Elise replied to Alexander’s message just
as the latter sat in front of his monitor screen with a smile. Deep down, he began to find this mysterious
translator rather interesting.
‘Don‘t worry. You‘ll be paid handsomely. Alexander responded with another text message before he sent
another one. Send me your account number. I’ll make the transfer right away. Daily new chapters at

Stunned
by the man‘s response, Elise blinked in disbelief. Really? This seems easier than I thought. Although she
was recently in desperate need of money, she knew she mustn‘t let
Alexander know her true identity. Therefore, she gave the man a proxy account
number not long before she received a notification. “One, two, three, four, five… One million!” Elise was c
aught in a trance, wondering if Alexander was really so generous.
“Thank you so much, Boss!‘ Elise replied, whereupon she transferred the money from her proxy account
to her own one.
After Elise was done with her business, she was about to log out of the intranet, only to receive
Alexander’s message before she could do so. ‘We‘re going to do a site inspection
at Aris. Would you be interested in taking on the job as an on-site interpreter by then?‘
Confused and undecided, Elise settled to pretend as if she didn‘t see his message and went to bed right
away, since she didn‘t signify her intention. In the meantime, Alexander waited and
waited until the lady went offline. Sensing the mysterious translator’s refusal to show
herself, he reckoned she was likely just trying to protect her own privacy and reluctantly chose to respect
that. After all, he didn‘t think it was a big deal as long as she didn‘t do anything that could jeopardize the
company’s interest.
The next morning was a Monday, yet Elise happened to be running late for class. As she hurriedly
scurried to her classroom, her math teacher was seen to be in the middle of a lesson. “Can I
come in?” Elise braced herself to accept the teacher’s scolding, as it was known among the students
that she didn‘t take kindly to anyone who was late for her class.
Nonetheless, the math teacher only responded with a smile and
greeted her. “Yes, please!” After hearing what her teacher said, Elise was stunned as she slowly walked
into the classroom.
“That’s unfair. Our math teacher is obviously biased toward her. How could she be allowed to enter
the class just like that?”
“Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Well, what do you expect? She is the teacher‘s favorite student, so of course, she is
going to enjoy all the privilege?”
While the two students leaned closer to each other and talked behind Elise‘s back, she had completely
no idea what they were gossiping about. Nonetheless, she just went straight to her seat and sat down
just when her math teacher subtly gave her a strange gesture. “Well, since Elise is already here, I have
something important to announce.”
Daily new chapters in www.novelheart.com Elise looked up, placing her gaze on the math teacher as she
noticed the latter adjusting the glasses on his nose bridge. Soon, the teacher happily made an
announcement. “Elise‘s extraordinary result in the last Math Olympiad has been brought to the Education
Ministry‘s attention. Therefore, it has been decided that Elise will represent Athesea to attend the Math
Olympiad in Northcliff City, along with the other representatives.”
As soon as the teacher made his announcement, the whole class cheered in
surprise and excitement. After all, the Math Olympiad that Elise was going to attend was a national
competition in which she would be competing against many other tough rivals. Meanwhile, those
students, who were talking behind her back a few moments ago, were instantly rendered speechless
after hearing the news that Elise was going
to attend National Mathematics Olympiad, as they couldn‘t challenge her extraordinary talent.
“For the sake of Elise‘s participation in the Math Olympiad, the Education Ministry will be
organizing a Math Olympiad boot camp that‘ll take about half a month. Elise, please prepare
yourself before you report yourself at the venue in two days.” The math teacher’s words were like a stone
falling into the water, as it caused huge ripples on the surface. In the meantime, the entire class turned
their attention to Elise, only to notice the calm look on her face.
A boot camp, huh? That means I‘U be isolated, right? This seems like a perfect reason for me not to stay
at the Griffith Residence. Elise raised her eyebrows, finding the surprising turn of events interesting
deep down.
When the class was over, the math teacher summoned Elise to the office. “I have high hopes for you,
Elise. Therefore, I sincerely hope the boot camp will help you prepare better to score a
resounding triumph during the Math Olympiad. After all, this is no longer just about you, as the whole
school is now counting on you to make us proud. Needless to say, I wouldn’t want to pressure you too
much. So, just do it as if it is your normal exercise.” The math teacher nagged for the next few moments
before giving Elise two exercise books. “Please have a look at them. You could always come to me if you
have any questions.”
“Sure, thank you, Sir.” Elise carried the two books her math teacher gave her before going back to her
classroom. Daily new chapters in www.novelheart.com
“That’s
awesome, Elise! I can‘t believe you‘re going to participate in the Mathematics Olympiad. Actually, I heard
from Cloverfield High would be taking part in this competition too. This news is going viral across our
school forum, and there are even some students
who place their bets on your results,” Mikayla said while showing her iPad to Elise.
Nevertheless, Elise only took a glimpse of the screen and asked, “Who is Zachary?”
Soon, Mikayla went on to answer her classmate’s question. “Zachary is a top student from
Cloverfield High and has always managed to score first place every year. In
fact, he won first place last year when he attended the Mathematics Olympiad; but because of you, he had
up this year. However, most of the people in Cloverfield High believe that Zachary was only outmatched
by you because he had a high fever back then. Therefore, he swears to do better than you do this time in
the Mathematics Olympiad. That’s why many of us are betting on both of you.”
Deep down, Elise couldn’t help but find what those high-school kids were doing silly.
“Elise, I bet on you with half of my pocket money for this semester, so you must win.” Mikayla looked
Elise in the eye pitifully, but Elise only patted her head. Daily new chapters in www.novelheart.com
“Silly girl. What if you lose the bet?”
“Then I’m going to be broke for the rest of my days.” Mikayla tried to play on Elise’s sympathy.
While her friend seemed speechless, Mikayla added, “My future depends on you. So please do your
best, Elise.”
Upon hearing that, Elise helplessly nodded her head. “Alright, I‘ll do my best.”
