Coolest Girl in Town Chapter 230

,Coolest Girl in Town

Despite the circumstances, Elise only smiled back at Jamie. After all, if it weren’t for the presence of
other people, she might have used this opportunity to tell Alexander the truth. However, it wasn’t the
best time to speak up given the number of people present. And so, she decided to take it step by step.
As a discerning man, Rudolph took notice of Alexander’s seeming interest in Elise and tried his best to
bring the topic around to both of them. Meanwhile, Jamie, who was seated nearby, was quick-witted
enough to resolve the awkward atmosphere.



However, Rudolph seemed not to cotton onto Jamie’s meaning and only occupied himself with
debating whether to arrange for H and Alexander to have some time alone after the dinner. Most were
aware of the unspoken rules that guided this industry, and Jamie knew that H’s reputation would not
suffer for her being alone with Alexander. Hence, he offered, “Want a smoke, Rudolph? Let’s step
outside for a smoke.” Though somewhat reluctant to leave, Rudolph agreed to Jamie’s proposal with a
smile. “Sure. We’ll be back soon, Young Master Alex.”

With that, they walked out of the room one after the other. Without Rudolph there to get in the way, the
atmosphere between Elise and Alexander began to change subtly. For a long moment, the room was
silent. After a while, Alexander slowly spoke. “You have a beautiful voice, Miss H, and you’ve been
doing very well in the industry. Why did you retire?” She lifted her eyes and stared at him. As their eyes
met, the both of them jolted like they had been shocked and Elise was the first to look away. It feels too
familiar, Alexander thought to himself with a frown.

It feels just like when Elise and I look at each other. Why do I keep seeing Elise in her? Are they related
in some way? Now that he actually thought about it, they both had the same last name. Does that
mean the both of them are biologically related? Before Alexander could pursue that line of thought,



Elise murmured, “I retired previously due to a vocal cord injury. Since I thought I could never sing
again, I chose an appropriate time to leave the scene. After treatment, however, my vocal cords
healed. I didn’t want to return—you could say I never thought about it—but in the end, I came back for
a friend.

She lost her memory, but she was always a fan of my music before that. What I’m hoping for is to bring
back her lost memories using my music.” “I see. You must prize your relationships very much. It must
be a blessed thing to be your friend.” Though his tone of voice was sincere, she simply commented,
“Thank you, but I’m only doing what I can. I’ll leave the rest up to fate.” By now, Alexander was feeling
not only did Joy remind him strongly of Elise, but they spoke very similarly as well. How could there be
two people in this world who looked so different and yet seemed so alike? “May I take the liberty of
asking you a question, Miss Sinclair?” “Yes?” “Do you have a twin or a biological sister?”

And just like that, Elise felt her heart skip a beat. At first, she thought Alexander had discovered
something but since he was only staring at her in confusion, she could only tell him, “I’m an only child.
There are no other children in my family.” Assuming he had jumped to conclusions, Alexander was
quick to apologize. “I’m sorry. I only asked because I thought you were very similar to someone I know.
Please don’t take it to heart.” Yet, Elise asked curiously, “Who are you talking about? Is it the woman
you love? I heard you have a fiancée… I wonder what she’s like.”

The statement was thrown out reflexively, and Elise wished for nothing more than to be able to bite off
her own tongue the moment she finished speaking. Why do I have to complicate things for myself? Yet,
there was a part of her that hoped to be able to hear what Alexander thought of her through someone
else’s ears. “I wonder if you can read minds, Miss Sinclair, because the woman that I said was similar
to you is indeed my fiancée. She is someone I feel very comfortable with.” Somewhat surprised by his
reply, Elise opened her mouth to say something, only to be interrupted by the room door flying open as
Jamie and Rudolph walked in.



“Miss H! Young Master Alex! What are you both talking about?” “Nothing. We were merely chatting.”
With that, Rudolph dropped the topic. It was evident that he dared not force Elise and Alexander
together again after Jamie’s skillful manipulation of the scenario. Thus, the dinner came to a perfect
end. On the way home, Elise looked out of the window as Jamie drove and couldn’t resist asking, “Do
you think Alexander could have found out about my identity a long time ago, Jamie?” “Why do you say
that, Boss?” Jamie questioned, puzzled.

In truth, she didn’t have a concrete explanation. It was only that Alexander had stared at her strangely
prior to leaving, and that careful recollection of their conversation made her feel like he wouldn’t have
asked her whether she had a sister if he hadn’t realized something was amiss. “Forget it. I was
planning to tell him the truth, anyway, so even if he knows, he’s only finding out a little bit beforehand.
It’s no big deal.” “It’ll be fine, Boss! You didn’t do anything wrong—you were only keeping your identity
hidden. He shouldn’t blame you for that.”

Pursing her lips, Elise muttered, “Let’s drop the topic. I don’t want to think about it anymore. The fan
meeting is tomorrow, so make sure you get some rest once you go home.” With that, Jamie speedily
ferried her back to the Griffith Residence before driving off on his own. Unbeknownst to Elise, there
was a slender figure on the balcony of the top floor, watching as Jamie disappeared into the night. At
this moment, Alexander sucked in a deep breath as his eyes darkened. “You’re finally back, Miss Elise!
Young Master Alex has been looking for you ever since he got home.

When he found out you weren’t home, he was worried sick. You’d better go say hi to him. He’s on the
top floor!” Stella announced, prompting Elise to hum a reply before putting down her bag and heading
upstairs. Unexpectedly, Elise bumped into the man in question once she turned a corner. “Why are you
standing here?” Staring closely at her, Alexander ignored her question in favor of asking, “Where have
you been? Why have you returned so late?” And so, she had no choice but to say, “I wanted to relax
after my exams, so I went out for dinner with my friends.”



“Oh? Which friends?” Despite the mild evenness to his tone, Elise was starting to realize that
something was off. Lifting her gaze, she answered with a smile, “My classmates! Why? Did you need
something?” Just like that, Alexander looked even more somber. The one thing he was most scared of
in life was being deceived, and she had just looked him in the eye and lied to him. Before she came
back, he had had Danny ask Elise’s friends for her whereabouts. Not a single one of them had set up a
meeting to have dinner with her, not to mention that she had just been dropped off by a man.

Even so, Alexander had chosen to trust her until she lied straight to his face. “It’s fine. Get some rest.”
The response made Elise’s eyelid twitch. After all, she had sensed the change in his mood, but his
anger had dissipated so quickly that it left her feeling like she had imagined things. “You should get
some rest as well.” With that, she strode upstairs and back to her room, shutting the door without
thinking further about the incident until her cell phone chimed several times in rapid succession.
Quickly, she pulled it out and discovered a slew of messages from Danny.

‘Where are you, Boss? Alex is looking for you.’ ‘Say something, Boss. Don’t make us worry!’ ‘Why
aren’t you picking up my calls? Call me back as soon as you see this message.’ ‘Boss! Boss! Boss!’
And it went on and on. Dumbfounded, Elise stared down at the messages. Having not expected to
receive so many notifications, she had put her phone on silent mode that evening and was only now
finding out that Alexander had been looking for her.

Hurriedly, she replied to Danny’s messages and informed him that she had returned so he wouldn’t
worry. With that, she put the thought out of her mind, took a quick shower and fell sound asleep. The
night passed smoothly and Elise did not wake up until the next morning. Although her clock told her
there were only a few hours left before her fan meeting, she did not feel hurried in the slightest and only
took her time to wash up and get changed.

By the time she made herself presentable, Mikayla was already downstairs waiting for her. “Why are
you so slow, Elise?” Mikayla couldn’t help complaining upon seeing her. Taken aback to see Mikayla
there, Elise asked in surprise, “Were you waiting for me?”
