Coolest Girl in Town 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 relaxed. “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 glasses 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 the last
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 the company. 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 place 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 only complied 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 Sinclair 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 fine lady no matter how he looked at it.



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 Sinclair that people are obsessed about.” Quentin
gave him a meaningful look before explaining 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
glance at the photo. There was a trace of youthfulness in the features of the young lady 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 Sinclair
is very gorgeous indeed. One can’t help taking a fancy to her at a glance.”

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 exclaimed 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,
“Welcome home, Miss.” “Where’s Papa? Take us there.” The bodyguard extended his hand as a
gesture of welcome.

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 occurred to her that she had to play 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 Sinclair.”
