    Chapter 148,Coolest Girl in Town


    Alexander thought he had misheard her, but he clearly felt his heart beating wildly in his left chest.


    “Okay, I promise you. When is it?” He agreed so readily that Elise didn’t get to say anything else.


    “Tonight,” she blurted. Alexander didn’t ask her any further about it. “Alright. Just wait for me here. I’ll


    be right back,” he said before walking out of the room. After the door closed, he couldn’t help but take a


    deep breath. Cameron stepped forward, asking, “What can I do for you, President Griffith?” Alexander


    said, “Pinch me.” Cameron was perplexed by Alexander’s words.


    However, seeing how serious Alexander looked, he slowly pinched Alexander on the arm. Alexander’s


    lips curled into a faint grin as he sensed the pain. At the sight of the scene, Cameron was horrified. “Did


    I pinch you too hard, President Griffith? Sorry… I’m—” “It’s fine.” Alexander sounded rxed. “Cancel


    my schedule for tonight. I have something private to deal with,” he ordered. With that, he walked away,


    leaving a stupefied Cameron standing there in bewilderment. Cameron pushed his sses up his


    nose. Something told him that Alexander was rather strange today, but he had a vague feeling that


    Elise had something to do with the reason behind it. Call it a man’s hunch.


    Alexander had changed into a brand-new suit when he returned. He went to the lounge room and said


    to Elise right away, “Let’s go.” Elise was a little surprised by how he had returned so quickly, but she felt


    somewhat guilty upon remembering that it was her who had asked him for the favor. “Alexander, you


    agreed without asking me why I need you to do so. You wouldn’t go back on your promise at thest


    minute, would you?”


    Alexander raised his eyebrows before asking, “Is it difficult?” Elise pondered for a moment before


    shaking her head. Alexander then said, “Why would I go back on it when it’s not?” Elise was lost for


    words. She thought that Alexander’s words made sense. Still, feeling a sense of responsibility for him,


    she told him everything about the situation as they left thepany. Alexander was expressionless


    after hearing her story. He merely looked into her eyes for a long time before saying, “I don’t have


    much experience in posing as someone’s boyfriend, but I’ll try my best to go along with you.”


    Elise breathed a sigh of relief when she heard him say so. “Thank you so much! Don’t worry,


    Alexander. I’ll keep in mind the favor you’ve done me.” Alexander curled his lips into a smile. “Let’s get


    in the car.” Elise hurriedly got into the car and sent him the mansion’s location on WhatsApp. To her


    surprise, rather than heading for the destination right away, Alexander went to a shopping mall first and


    bought some gifts. Elise was stunned when she saw the trunk stuffed with gifts. “What are you doing,


    Alexander?” Alexander replied, “Didn’t you say that we’re going to meet your godfather?


    We can’t possibly go to his ce empty-handed, can we?” Elise was lost in thought upon hearing what


    Alexander said. We’re just pretending to be a couple; why do I have a feeling that Alexander is taking it


    seriously? This must be an illusion, she thought. Meanwhile, Quentin was sitting in the rocking chair in


    the courtyard of his mansion, drinking tea made using the Earl Grey tea leaves that he had just


    purchased this year. Owen, on the other hand, was sitting beside him. “There’s no need to overthink it,


    Owen. I think Ellie probably made that up on a whim.


    She doesn’t have a boyfriend at all. If she really has one, she would’ve told me before, so you have


    nothing to worry about.” Owen came to his senses. In reality, he didn’t worry about it, for he neither


    liked nor hated Elise. He onlyplied with his family’s wishes and went on the blind date with Elise


    because of Elise’s identity, but whether the blind date worked out or not didn’t matter to him. “Mr.


    Fassbender, I think I’m fine with it if Miss Sinir has found a good match for herself. After all, only


    remarkably talented and capable young men are good enough for someone as outstanding as her.”


    Quentin felt the same way; his daughter was a finedy no matter how he looked at it.Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.


    Even though Elise wasn’t his biological daughter, he didn’t consider her any different from a daughter of


    his own. “Ellie is clever and beautiful. She was pursued by countless men two years ago, and I only


    helped her keep those men away because she was still a teenager at the time.” Owen was surprised


    upon hearing this. Elise is far from attractive; what’s so outstanding about her in Mr. Fassbender’s


    eyes? Not only that, but he even said that she’s very beautiful, he thought.


    “There must be something extraordinary about Miss Sinir that people are obsessed about.” Quentin


    gave him a meaningful look before exining with a smile, “I’m afraid you don’t have a good grasp of


    the situation, Owen. Ellie is full of ideas, and she can be very imaginative. Sometimes, not even I could


    figure out what she’s thinking about. She’s absolutely good-natured, though,” he said, before instructing


    one of his men to bring his cell phone over.


    “Let me show you what Ellie really looks like.” After finding a photo of Elise that was taken two years


    ago, he handed his cell phone to Owen right away. Owen’s eyes were full of surprise when he took a


    nce at the photo. There was a trace of youthfulness in the features of the youngdy in the photo,


    but it wasn’t difficult to tell from her stunning features that she was drop-dead gorgeous. But the Elise I


    saw was… Owen thought, before a sudden realization hit him. So that’s what’s going on. “Miss Sinir


    is very gorgeous indeed. One can’t help taking a fancy to her at a nce.”


    Quentin seemed satisfied with this answer. “You have to work hard if you want to win her heart, Owen,”


    he said with a hint of encouragement. Owen’s eyes darkened. At first, he didn’t have much interest in


    Elise and only agreed to go on a blind date with her out of respect for Quentin. But now, she had


    sparked his interest. “I’ll do my best, Mr. Fassbender.” The two were chatting when the bodyguard


    outside came in and reported, “Miss is back with a stranger, sir.” Quentin was startled. “She’s back so


    soon?” he eximed while putting down his phone.


    Then, he said to Owen, “Let’s go and take a look.” Owen followed Quentin closely as they walked along


    the hallway all the way to the living room. Quentin sat down in the living room on his own, holding the


    finance and economics newspaper he had read this morning as he pretended to read it. Elise somehow


    tensed up when she and Alexander arrived at the mansion’s main gate. Nevertheless, she said to


    Alexander, “Just do as we agreed on earlier.”


    Alexander’s eyes softened as he stared at her. “Okay.” The pair got out of the car at the same time.


    Upon seeing them, the bodyguard hurriedly walked up to them and greeted Elise respectfully,


    “Wee home, Miss.” “Where’s Papa? Take us there.” The bodyguard extended his hand as a


    gesture of wee.


    Just as Elise was about to go in, Alexander stepped in front of her and signaled to her to hold his arm.


    Elise felt somewhat embarrassed, but then it urred to her that she had to y out the drama tonight.


    Therefore, she stretched out her hand and took his arm. Somehow, the pair looked like a match made


    in heaven as they stood side by side. Elise’s heart kept pounding as she held Alexander’s arm. Owen


    was the first to see them, and he greeted her first. “You’re here, Miss Sinir.”
