Chapter 105,Coolest Girl in Town
Alexander naturally believed that his assumption was correct since it seemed to make sense. “I’m fine
now, Mr. Griffith. My friend ising in a while,” Elise uttered. He nodded. “If that’s the case, I’ll leave
after your friend gets here,” he offered. Elise didn’t reject him, so they both stood by the side of the
road as they waited for Jamie.
Neither one of them spoke to each other, butplicated emotions continued to surface in Elise’s
heart. She nced up at the sky above her as she curled her lips into a pleasant smile. From the start,
Elise had intended to travel to France to rx and seek some answers of her own.
Right then, she felt like she had finally gotten a clear answer for herself. I guess this trip wasn’t a waste
after all. Jamie rushed over to them. “You scared me to death, Boss.” After he finished his sentence, he
noticed how Alexander was standing right beside Elise. He instinctively mped a hand over his
mouth.
Elise understood the reason for Jamie’s actions, so she quickly reassured him. “It’s fine. Mr. Griffith
knows that we’re friends.” It took Jamie a while to process the situation before he nodded. He no longer
asked any questions. When Alexander noticed that Jamie had arrived, he announced his departure.
“I’ll head back now, Miss Sinir. It can get rather dangerous on the streets of France, so you should
watch out for your own safety.” He left after finishing his words. The moment Alexander left, Jamie
tugged on Elise’s shirt as he questioned her. “What’s up with you and Alexander, Boss?
Aren’t you afraid that he might learn about your true identity?” Elise shrugged. “Hey, Jamie. Can you
help me book tickets to return to the country? I’ll head home tomorrow morning.” Jamie was shocked to
hear this. “Are you leaving before the race is over, Boss?” She nodded in response.
“I don’t think there’s anything else that interests me in the race. You can watch it on my behalf. I’ve
found the answer in my heart, and everything’s much clearer to me now. That’s why I know that it’s time
to head home.” Jamie had no idea what she meant, but he figured that it must be something too deep
for him toprehend. Although he didn’t know what was going on, he still had to follow his boss’s
orders.
He therefore booked the return flight tickets for Elise, and both of them returned to the country the next
morning. … Once theynded in Athesea, the first thing that Elise did was to find a public bathroom,
where she transformed herself back to how the usual Elise would look.
She didn’t head back to Griffith Residence right after that and made a trip to school instead. Since
Elise’s academic results were decent, her teachers hadn’t asked much even though Elise had taken a
few days off from her sses. When Elise arrived in ss, Mika hastily clung onto Elise before she
began to bber all about school.
“You’re finally back, Elise. You have no idea how bored I’ve been in the past few days. I don’t have a
single person to talk to in ss!” Mika couldn’t help butin as she put on a pitiful look on her
face. “Please bring me along when you leave for a holiday the next time, Elise.”
Elise ruffled the other girl’s hair. “Alright. You cane along the next time,” Elise replied with augh.
Mika spread into a wide grin upon hearing this. “By the way, Elise, did you know that my husband’s
releasing a new song? He just posted an announcement on Twitter this afternoon.”
Elise was rather confused. “Your husband is…?” “Jack, of course! Who else?” Mika hastily exined
herself, and Elise nodded understandingly after hearing her exnation. “Did he announce the album
and song title?” Elise asked casually. “He didn’t say anything.
However, he mentioned that he’s trying something new with this song and that it will sound extremely
different from his previous style. He created a brand-new track! I’m more and more impressed by my
husband each day. Hey, Elise, why don’t you help me ask my husband out for a date someday?
I can buy him lunch.” Elise didn’t see a reason to reject Mika’s request. “Sure. I’ll help you pass the
message to him.” Upon hearing Elise’s words, Mika looked as if she were about to erupt with joy.
“You’re the best, Elise!” Elise curled her lips into a grin—Mika’s happiness was too contagious to be
ignored.

That afternoon, the two of them walked out of school after sses were over. Elise waved Mika
goodbye as they parted ways, and she watched Mika disappearing into the distance before she
made her way toward Griffith Residence. However, Noel snuck up from behind Elise right after Mika
left.
“You were the one who wrote Jack’s new song, right, Elise?” Noel started off with a question once he
appeared in front of Elise. His tone was t and calm—it didn’t reveal a hint of emotion. He stared deep
into Elise’s eyes as if he’d be able to get an answer from them. He knew that his guess had been right
when he saw Elise remaining silent for a while.
The general style of Jack’s new song was familiar to Noel. Even the way the lyrics were written
reminded Noel of Elise’s style. Anyone who knew her well enough would only take a few seconds to
recognize her writing. “Didn’t you say that you’d stop writing music? What made you change your mind
this time?”
Noel asked. Elise hadn’t expected Noel to find out about the truth so quickly. Regardless, she had
already predicted such a thing to happen eventually, so she didn’t bother toe up with any excuses.
“I wasn’t the one who created this track. I simply made a few changes to it. It was no big deal.”
“But the style of this music is way too distinct. Aren’t you worried that the news might get out, H?” Elise
responded with a smile that didn’t seem to reach her eyes. “One way or another, I’ve decided not to
pursue a career in this field. I’m only doing this to help a friend out.”
As Noel nced at the girl in front of him, he realized how she seemed different from the girl in his
memory. “If that’s the case, then why didn’t you give me this opportunity instead?” Elise held her arms
open as she exined herself clearly. “Look, I’m sorry, Noel! All of this was a coincidence. Whatever
happened in the past still feels fresh to me today, and I don’t think I’m able to repackage myself into a
brand new person under the public’s eye.
This is the only time I’m breaking my promise. I won’t do this again in the future…” Noel frowned a little.
“H, I know that you suffered a great deal after that event. However, the public needs to hear the truth
about that incident. I trust that you’d never do such a thing, but…” As Noel continued speaking, Elise
finally interrupted him.
“Look, Noel. You im that you trust me, but your trust is dependent on other factors, too, right? We’re
teammates, but you’ve never shown your trust in me. You’ve never chosen to believe my words over
hers in the past.” A rather bashful look appeared on Noel’s face when he realized that he had been
exposed.
He parted his lips to speak, but no words came out. “If we can’t be teammates, then we shouldn’t be
friends either, Noel. You can stop looking for me in the future.” With that said, Elise made a move to
leave. However, Noel quickly held onto her arm. “Charlene didn’t do it on purpose, H.
She has been talking about you a lot—she really wants to return to the days of glory that she had
shared with you.” Elise scoffed as she shrugged his arm off. “I’m sorry, but I have no interest in doing
such a thing.” Right after that, Elise strode off and left Noel standing on his own. He watched her back
as she hurried off. Elise took a long, deep breath as she walked.
Her emotions were no longer as intense as they had been three years ago, and she finally felt like she
was able to ept the past incidents she had gone through. She no longer felt trapped by those
issues. Even Noel’s sudden mention of Charlene’s name felt like nothing more than a gust of wind that
vanished as quickly as it appeared.
Elise didn’t know how long she had been walking on the sidewalk when she heard a loud horn beside
her. She instinctively nced up to see an MPV parked by the side of the road in front of her. The car
window came down before a man stuck his head out. “What are you doing here all alone, Elise?” It was
Jack.
