Chapter 127,Coolest Girl in Town

Thinking that Elise was only throwing this challenge at him because she wanted to encourage him to make it to the top five of the class, Danny agreed to it because he figured that she was just being kind. “Sure, but I’m not doing it because I want to play with you. I’m doing it because I want to prove myself,” he clarified proudly. “Okay, I look forward to your performance. I’ll fulfill my end of the promise then as well.”

In fact, Danny didn’t take her promise seriously at all because he just wanted to do well in the monthly test to examine the results of his hard work during this period. The minute both of them walked out of the school gate, they saw a familiar-looking Maybach outside. “What brought you here, Alex?” Danny asked in surprise. In fact, Alexander didn’t know it himself what came over him. He should have returned to the office, but instead, he found himself here and even waited until classes were over.

“I happened to pass by here and thought that I could give both of you a lift home since school was ending.” Danny had never been one to doubt anything Alexander said, so he quickly opened the door and let Elise in first. When both of them were seated, he said, “Alex, we’re not going home but to the library first. I still have some homework left to finish.” Startled, Alexander asked, “Have you had a personality change lately?”

Danny chuckled sheepishly. “Stop teasing me, Alex. I’m just trying to catch up on my studies.” “Okay. Do your best,” Alexander encouraged. “I look forward to your progress.” “Thanks, Alex. I’ll put in my best effort,” he answered happily. After that, Alexander started the car and drove away. Danny was the first to hop out of the car when they reached the library, and he thought that Alexander would leave.

Unexpectedly, the door of the driver’s seat opened, and he got out of the car as well. “I haven’t been to the library in a long while, so I’ll read a book as well.” His explanation didn’t strike Danny as odd, and so the latter started working on his homework with full attention after he found himself a spot in the library. Meanwhile, Elise went to the second floor and went through the bookshelves. Finally, she picked a foreign novel and sat down. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Something unexplainable came over Alexander, and he followed Elise upstairs subconsciously. Then, he grabbed a book about economics and took a seat in a corner. However, his attention today wasn’t on the book at all; he would sometimes casually raise his gaze at Elise, who was seated nearby. It was fine for the first couple of times, but Elise noticed his eyes on her after a few more times, and she couldn’t help but look back at him with her brows knitted tightly in confusion.

When their eyes met, Alexander didn’t look away, and just when she was about to say something, he spoke first. “I’ve read the book in your hands before. It’s not bad, but the author ended the story a little hastily, leaving many things unexplained.” Elise was already halfway through the book, and when she heard him say that, she lost all interest to continue reading. “I’ll get another book, then.” Standing up, Alexander walked over.

“I’ll help you to pick one out.” To Elise, he seemed a little odd today, but she couldn’t exactly put it into words. “Do you prefer comedy or tragedy?” “Comedy.” She said the first thing that came into her mind. Looking through the bookshelves, he then picked out a book which used a more humorous language and passed it to her. “This book is not bad. You’ll be entertained and happy while reading.” Taking it over, she uttered, “Thanks.”

After she started reading a couple of pages, a grin spread across her face unintentionally. Seeing that, Alexander relaxed the knot between his brows as he casually plopped himself in a seat next to her, asking, “Do you usually come here with Danny to read?” “Yeah, but it only started recently. I’m usually upstairs while he’s downstairs.” For unknown reasons, he felt much better when he heard her reply. “This place is nice. I’ll drop by whenever I have the chance.”

On the other hand, Elise stopped replying and seemed focused on the book. For unknown reasons, he felt especially at peace seated next to her at this moment. In contrast, Elise was unable to read another word. She didn’t know why, but she became nervous the second he sat next to her, and even her breathing quickened. Startled by her own reaction, she hurriedly stood up and wanted to leave. However, she was in such a hurry that she slipped and fell forward.

Fortunately, Alexander had quick reflexes, and he caught her around the waist. Then, she heard his deep, husky voice next to her ear. “Are you alright?” All of a sudden, she felt her heart galloping, and she pushed him away, saying, “I’m fine! Thanks for catching me.” Disappointment washed over Alexander when he felt the emptiness in his hand, but this feeling vanished very quickly, leaving no trace of it on his expression.

“You’re welcome. Be careful next time.” “Okay,” she muttered and left in hurried steps. However, only she knew that she was running away in fear right now. “What happened to you, Boss? Why is your face flushing?” Danny asked in concern upon seeing her coming downstairs. Stunned, she felt her face. “Really?

Maybe it’s because it’s a little stuffy here.” Instantly, he instructed the librarian, “Open up all the windows for some fresh air.” While the librarian scurried away to carry out his instructions, he turned back to Elise and beckoned. “Boss, come over quickly and explain this question to me.” Jolted back to her senses, Elise gradually calmed herself down before pacing toward him to explain the question to him. Her voice was steady, and her explanations were clear as Danny listened to her very attentively.

Unbeknownst to them, Alexander was standing behind a bookshelf nearby. As he listened to her voice, something sprouted within him, and he seemed to have figured out something at the same time. After that, he didn’t stay around any longer but left the library by himself and jumped into the car.

In the car, he whisked out his phone and made a call. “Cameron, have the chief jewelry designer of the company meet me in my office tomorrow at 10.00AM sharp.” “Yes, Young Master Alex.”

After hanging up, he put his phone away and narrowed his eyes as the answer in his heart slowly became clear to him. I may have fallen for Elise, but I’m not sure whether it’s just a moment’s infatuation or I love her for real. His heart had no answer to that.
