Chapter 537: Change for Him


    Yahk smiled brightly, "Isn''t there a phrase that sounds knowledge is power?"


    "What does that mean?" Ellie was confused with the phrase Yahk mentioned. Why did he speak like a


    philosopher, she felt embarrassed for not being able to understand what he said.


    "Which means you should read more, dummy!" Nico interrupted.


    "You are a dummy!" Ellie said, and she felt slightly annoyed.


    Yahkughed, "Nico is right, one should read more."


    "Read…" Ellie repeated, obviously, she was not interested. "Does novels count?" She''d rather die than


    read philosophical books.


    "Novel?" Yahk thought for a moment, "Yes, it counts. But what I meant was history, finance and


    economical books. Those are not hard, you can read it like a novel." Yahk liked cultures. The historic


    stories of foreign countries for centuries were mostly about war or preparation for war; change of


    dynasties, and overthrowing regimes. Whereas your history showed not only war but also the


    development of different social and cultural aspects.


    Ellie had no interest in what he said. She liked time-traveling sorts of novels, fairytales, and


    underground CEO. But she felt reluctant to reject Yahk who was genuinely providing his suggestions,


    so she simply answered, "I''ll pay a visit to the bookstore this weekend."


    "Alright then, Nico and I will teach you some etiquette like ways to win people over, greetings, table


    etiquette, fashion and trends, walking postures, tone of voice, and others. Get ready for your training,


    my princess." Yahk''s tone turned serious suddenly.


    This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Ellie thought it was fun, she replied with a yful tone, "Yes, yes, I''m ready, bring it on." It was just


    etiquette lessons, the agency trained her for that before, Yahk''s seriousness made her very anxious


    just now.


    Yahk on the other hand was dead serious. He was a fun and humorous person, but he could also be


    serious whenever required.


    But Ellie took it too lightly just now. Her fun andughter vanished soon as the lessons began and


    lasted for a few hours. She was required to stand on a ten centimeters wide board while bncing her


    posture with an apple on her head.


    Oh gosh, her legs were numb, they were trembling. Damn Yahk and Nico, they were enjoying wine and


    music whileughing at her, challenging her to give up if she couldn''t take it.


    Ellie grunted, ''I''m not someone who gives up easily, standing with one leg with an apple on my head for


    an hour is nothing.'' Ellie thought and vowed not to give up in front of them.


    Half an hour passed, forty-five minutes, fifty minutes…


    Ellie had finally managed to endure an hour-long. And her body was straight and stiffed. Surprisingly,


    she didn''t feel tired at all but more stable instead…


    Yahk and Nico exchanged smiles, they cheered and smiled victoriously.


    A gorgeousdy should have a straight back, Ellie had loads of bad habits before like slouching while


    surfing the inte and while sitting. She was still young, hence, there was still time to fix it.


    The training sessionsted three hours a day, there were a variety of lessons. Ellie rejected at first until


    she saw the result three dayster where she could walk elegantly effortlessly and became more


    fashionable while dressing herself, she instantly fell in love with those lessons.


    She began to ditch the habit of applying heavy makeup that damaged her skin, eating unhealthy food


    that ruined her health and swearing or cursing all the time. She hadpletely transformed into


    another person in a matter of days.


    Those who knew her especially Saniyah couldn''t believe that the elegantdy before her eyes was


    Ellie.


    Ellie enjoyed seeing their shocking faces and was determined to continue with the lessons. Not only for


    Kayden but she wanted to be a better person.


    On Sunday, Nico had an event to attend while Yahk had surgery to perform. Ellie took her purse, put on


    sunsses and was ready to go out.


    She was walking aimlessly until she arrived at a bookstore, a ce she hadn''t visited since ages ago.


    She wanted to walk away but then she turned back and stared at the entrance. She thought for a while,


    gritted her teeth, "I''m here anyway, let''s check if there are thetest fashion magazines."


    She entered and flipped on the magazines on the rack casually.


    The afternoon light shone through the window onto her, the shafts of light streaming around her made


    her look like an angel.


    All the males in the bookstore were astounded by her presence while the females looking at her with


    jealousy.


    Ellie was busy flipping through magazines and didn''t notice what was happening.


    "Wow, that man is gorgeous, he looks like a godfather in a gangster movie."


    "Yeah, is he a celebrity, he is so charming."


    "Yeah,pared to the old man opposite him, he is too good-looking."


    Since they are foreign students, Ellie understood theirnguage and looked in the direction they were


    looking at. She froze, the godfather they were talking about was Kayden!


    He was sitting in a cafe opposite where she was. He was chatting with a middle-aged man sitting


    opposite him. Kayden was not smiling and looked serious. It seemed like their conversation didn''t go


    well, the vibe didn''t seem to be pleasant.


    Ellie blocked her face with a book, afraid that Kayden might see her…


    She peeked at him secretly. ''Such handsome face, the vibe, the seriousness, his perfectly shaped


    brows, and nose and distinctive features that could be clearly seen from here…'' Ellie was captivated


    instantly.


    "Wow, he is super charming even while sipping his coffee. I wonder what they are talking about, that


    old man looks familiar, have I seen him somewhere…" Ellie thought the person opposite Kayden


    looked familiar but she couldn''t recall seeing him.


    …


    She was only interested in handsome-looking men, she won''t even nce at a middle-aged wrinkled


    man like this.


    "Hey, you block my view." Ellie stared fiercely at the couple that took picture in the middle of the street.


    Why would they stand there and blocked her view of Kayden!


    She didn''t think much and stormed out holding the magazine.


    The bookstore owner quickly stopped her and said in Italian, "You haven''t paid."


    Ellie didn''t say a word and gave him a five hundred Euro note and waved, "Keep the change."


    The owner was stunned, as well as all the visitors around, such a generous person.


    Ellie walked to the entrance of the cafe, tidied up her clothes and pushed the ss door. She picked a


    seat close to Kayden, a seat where she could see him but he couldn''t see her.


    The waiter approached to take her order, she selected a few items randomly, and the waiter was


    confused, "Are you sure you want these?"


    "Yes, yes, that''s it." Ellie waved at her feeling annoyed.


    The waiter walked away while Ellie blocked her face with a magazine as she shifted from one table to


    another. Her spot earlier was too far that she couldn''t hear their conversation.


    She moved like how an ant moving house, slowly from one spot to another and finally seated at a spot


    one meter away from Kayden.


    "I''m afraid the ZH n can''t ept Mr. Thompson''s suggestion," Kayden replied coldly as he tapped


    on the table lightly with his fingers.


    "You don''t have to answer right away, Kayden, my suggestion benefits both sides and is especially


    good for ZH n''s expansion in Italy. Please go back and discuss with Mr. Smith, Kayden. Emmett


    nearly became my son-inw, I guess he will not object to our coboration." Thompson put on a fake


    smile and tapped off the ashes on his cigar.


    Kayden frowned. ''How dare this old man uses Mr. Smith to pressure me. Let alone he won''t agree,


    even if he does, it''s not under this term.''


    "The ZH n has our own ways to expand, we don''t need to depend on anyone else. The Mafia is too


    heavy to our taste, we are more prone to lighter tastetely, I''m afraid we will have to pass," Kayden


    said casually.


    "What? What did you say?" Thompson''s raised his voice unexpectedly.


    "I mean… The ZH n has no interest in coborating with the Mafia, please look for another partner,


    Mr. Thompson," Kayden exined calmly.


    "How dare you make a fool out of the Mafia! You were the one that came to us first!" Thompson yelled


    as he pped the table violently.


    His action startled Ellie who was sitting behind.


    ''This man is so strong, his p vibrated even my table. Who is this? Has Kayden got into any trouble?''


    Ellie tried listening closely but they had lowered their voice and she couldn''t hear anything.


    At this moment, the waiter approached delivering her order, she was stunned.


    What did she order? Why was there a huge chicken before her eyes?


    Ellie quickly took a look at the menu and became speechless.


    International Mno turkey? What was this? How could she finish the entire turkey? This was a portion


    for two strong men. This was why the waiter looked confused just now, how many calories would she


    consume if she ate this?


    Oh yeah, she got an idea…


    Ellie rose to grab her purse and went straight to the manager.


    "What? You want to be a waitress here?" The manager looked at the beautiful youngdy in front full of


    surprise. There were not many youngdies willing to work as waiters nowadays, let alone a beautiful


    girl like Ellie. Could it be some kind of scam?


    Ellie used her most useful trick, flirting, "Come on, charming manager, I''m here to experience life, just


    for today, I can do it for free, please…"


    The manager looked at her doubtfully, "Are you for real? You are not a spy sent from another cafe


    aren''t you?"


    "No, no, I''m sincere and not here as a spy to make a mess, I''ll bring many customers for you," It


    seemed like Ellie''s next move was going to raise her hand and swear.
