Chapter 127


    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 ss, Danny agreed to it because he figured that she was just being kind.


    “Sure, but I’m not doing it because I want to y with you. I’m doing it because I want to prove myself,”


    he rified 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 sses 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 changetely?”


    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 exnation didn’t strike Danny as odd, and


    so thetter 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.


    Something unexinable 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 unexined.” 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 preferedy 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 humorousnguage


    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 rxed the knot between his brows as he casually plopped himself in a seat next to her,


    asking, “Do you usuallye 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 ce 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 wee. 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 hering 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,e over quickly and exin this question to me.” Jolted back to


    her senses, Elise gradually calmed herself down before pacing toward him to exin the question to


    him. Her voice was steady, and her exnations 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.
