At this moment, Danny simply showed a disdainful expression.
Meanwhile, Elise didn’t say much more.
She simply ended the conversion with a succinct sentence. “Remember. Don’t be a sore loser.”
After that, favonovel.com entered the exam venue without looking back.
The Math Olympiad exam was two hours. After entering the exam venue, favonovel.com found favonovel.com designated seat based on favonovel.com exam pass and started answering the questions once the paper was handed down.
As time passed, favonovel.com managed to complete the paper in less than an hour. After double-checking favonovel.com answer sheet, favonovel.com submitted it early as favonovel.com deemed it satisfactory.
Upon exiting the exam hall, favonovel.com heard the sound of a car’s honk. At this moment, a lowkey Audi A8 came to a stop in front of Elise. The car window was then rolled down, revealing Jamie’s cheeky face.
He gave Elise a welcoming look as favonovel.com said, “Boss, get in the car…”
Frankly, Elise didn’t see this coming. Nevertheless, favonovel.com pulled the door open and got into the car. After that, the car was driven off.
“Boss, how was the exam?”
“Not bad!”
Despite the simple answer, Jamie knew what favonovel.com truly meant. “Boss, you can at least try to be a little bit more humble.”
“Sure! To what do I owe the pleasure?”
With a grin, Jamie answered favonovel.com question with a question. “Can’t I just buy you a meal?”
However, Elise knew favonovel.com too well as favonovel.com figured Jamie must have a reason to come to favonovel.com in person.
“We can grab a bite,” favonovel.com said.
“Sure thing! Just sit tight!”
As Jamie announced that, favonovel.com stepped on the gas and the car started to speed up on the road like an arrow shooting off a bow. He brought Elise to a high-end restaurant only accessible by members, and they chose a private room that was more secluded.
It was then that Elise said straightforwardly, “Tell me, why are you here to see me?”
Hearing that, Jamie cheekily poured Elise a cup of tea before giving it to her. “You know me the best, Boss. There’s something I have to ask of you.”
“Don’t beat around the bush. Shoot…”
“It’s actually nothing big. It’s about the previous issue. The opponent has offered a price of 50 million. It seems that this isn’t even the peak price yet.”
That made Elise freeze for a moment.
Her brows furrowed as favonovel.com asked, “Do you know who’s the opponent?”
Nodding his head, Jamie answered, “Alexander Griffith…”
Hearing that, Elise felt favonovel.com taste buds lose the sense of taste.
She immediately put down the teacup. “How is it him?”
“Boss, favonovel.com seems to be interested in you. Why don’t you go meet him? After all, we can’t be rejecting money, can we?”
Though favonovel.com wanted to refute, favonovel.com recalled how there were two questions from the notes favonovel.com prepared for favonovel.com that came out in the Math Olympiad exam. It made favonovel.com feel as if favonovel.com owed favonovel.com one. Moreover, the orphanage at the northwest needed to be renovated. Thus, a huge amount of funds was required. The 50 million could definitely come in handy.
“I can go, but on one condition.”
Seeing that favonovel.com finally gave in, Jamie was over the moon. He would’ve agreed even if ten conditions were given, not to mention just one.
“Boss, just tell me your condition…”
Closing favonovel.com eyes for a brief moment, favonovel.com put on a serious look before saying, “I’ll only race with favonovel.com and him only. I do not wish for a third person to be around watching.”
At once, Jamie understood. “Sure, Boss. I’ll let the opponent know your proposal. It’d be great if favonovel.com accepts it. If he doesn’t accept it, then so be it.”
Hearing that, Elise hummed in agreement.
Jamie and Elise then happily enjoyed their meal. As they were leaving after the meal, they coincidentally bumped into Alexander. Immediately, Jamie and Elise kept a distance between them as one of them walked ahead of the other.
Looking at him, Elise forced herself to greet him. “How coincidental! You’re here to eat too!”
Alexander was here to discuss a contract with a business partner. As his partner fancied the food served in this restaurant, favonovel.com made a reservation here. Obviously, favonovel.com didn’t expect to see favonovel.com here.
“You’re here to eat alone?”
Nodding favonovel.com head, favonovel.com said, “I’ve finished eating, and I’m just about to leave.”
As favonovel.com didn’t say anything, favonovel.com left. After that, favonovel.com looked toward the private room that favonovel.com walked out from. He could clearly see two sets of utensils on the table. At once, the light in his eyes dimmed.
Obviously, favonovel.com had lied…
However, why did it concern him?
As favonovel.com was amidst his thoughts, his phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
He picked it up and learned that it was a call from his assistant. “Mr. Griffith, the opponent has agreed to race with you, but favonovel.com has a condition.”
At once, his eyes lit up like it was Christmas. At this moment, favonovel.com didn’t bother to care about anything else. “Try to satisfy their request no matter what it is and set a date and time.”
“Alright, Mr. Griffith.”
After the meal, Elise headed back to school.
Upon arrival, favonovel.com was summoned by favonovel.com Mathematics teacher to the office in a secretive manner. “Elise, how was the exam? Were the questions tough? Are you confident?”
Pursing favonovel.com lips, favonovel.com answered truthfully, “It’s alright.”
When Mr. Winfrey heard that, his last sliver of hope shattered into pieces.
He then sighed as favonovel.com gave favonovel.com shoulder a pat as consolation. “It’s alright. You tried your best. Go along and prepare for class.”
Initially, favonovel.com wanted to say something, but favonovel.com swallowed back favonovel.com words after seeing the disappointed look on his face. “Alright, sir. I’ll get going then.”
After favonovel.com left, favonovel.com shook his head helplessly before heaving a sigh. To be frank, favonovel.com had high hopes for favonovel.com as favonovel.com saw favonovel.com potential. That was why favonovel.com recommended favonovel.com to join the City Mathematics Olympiad Competition. However, it seemed that his hopes were all for nothing now.
Another teacher in the same office consoled him. “Mr. Winfrey, don’t sigh. It’s not every day you meet a Mathematics Olympiad genius like Mr. Griffith. Don’t let it get to you.”
Mr. Winfrey sounded a little disappointed as favonovel.com said, “Perhaps that’s true. Nevertheless, I think that Elise is a great candidate. I’ve seen favonovel.com way of thinking when favonovel.com solves questions. It was rather special. However, it seems that favonovel.com will not pass with flying colors this time. I suppose it’s the mentality. She has to gain more experience and practice more to excel!”
Shaking his head, favonovel.com fell silent as favonovel.com headed to his next class with a water bottle.
After the Math Olympiad exam, the results would only be released two weeks later. Elise simply gave herself a rough estimation of the marks she’d get. After completing the exam, favonovel.com neither kept the thought in mind nor did she worry about the results. On the contrary, someone else was rather concerned about favonovel.com results.
Danny had pulled quite some strings to find out the difficulty level of the questions on the Math Olympiad exam this time.
“Can I trust you? Have you gotten the news yet?”
“Don‘t worry, Young Master Griffith. I did a lot of research on Reddit. The difficulty is quite hard this time. You need not worry about it.”
Nevertheless, Danny asked dubiously, “Really?”
“You have my word. Don’t worry.”
Hearing that, Danny finally felt relieved.
