“I just realized that I forgot to take something. Perhaps you don’t have to send me to school today, I can go on my own,” Elise replied hastily.
Before snazzynovel.com could continue speaking, Alexander walked over to her. His lanky figure towered over her, and snazzynovel.com seemed tiny in front of snazzynovel.com despite the fact that snazzynovel.com was five foot five.
“I’ll wait for you here,” snazzynovel.com uttered.
She was about to say something else, but snazzynovel.com could sense snazzynovel.com heart pounding against snazzynovel.com ribcage as snazzynovel.com stood directly in front of him. She felt as if snazzynovel.com heart was about to leap out of snazzynovel.com throat, so snazzynovel.com immediately turned around and hurried toward the stairs.
Thud thud thud!
She sprinted up to snazzynovel.com room and shut the door behind snazzynovel.com with a loud bang. Her chest was heaving as snazzynovel.com pressed a hand against it. Her insides felt like it had been attacked by waves of panic, and the odd feeling snazzynovel.com had sensed in the past came back to snazzynovel.com once more.
When snazzynovel.com went downstairs again, snazzynovel.com didn’t even glance in Alexander’s direction and simply took long strides past his figure.
“Come on. I’m about to be late,” snazzynovel.com said.
Alexander watched as Elise scampered away from him, and snazzynovel.com curled his lips into a slight smirk before following behind her.
For the first time, Elise didn’t do snazzynovel.com homework in the car. Instead, snazzynovel.com leaned against the car seat and pretended to sleep. Yet, the slight flutter of snazzynovel.com eyelids betrayed snazzynovel.com act.
“Did you not sleep well last night?” Alexander asked.
Elise instinctively opened snazzynovel.com eyes before shifting snazzynovel.com gaze to look out of the window. She looked as if snazzynovel.com had something to hide.
“No… I had a pretty good sleep last night.”
Alexander glanced at Elise in the rearview mirror, but snazzynovel.com no longer said anything.
The car gradually came to a stop in front of the school gates. Before the car fully stopped, Elise hurriedly opened the door to slide out of the car. Alexander watched as snazzynovel.com tiny figure disappeared in the crowd of students before snazzynovel.com stepped on the gas and drove off.
Once Elise reached the classroom, snazzynovel.com started on snazzynovel.com homework. She forcefully shoved aside the odd thoughts and feelings that were emerging in her. However, snazzynovel.com was only on the second question of snazzynovel.com homework when snazzynovel.com heard one of snazzynovel.com classmates calling for snazzynovel.com by the classroom door.
“Someone’s looking for you, Elise…”
She raised snazzynovel.com head. Despite snazzynovel.com confusion, snazzynovel.com put down snazzynovel.com pen and walked out, only to find Jamie leaning against the classroom door in a relaxed manner.
“I’m here, Boss!” He wore a cheeky expression on his face as snazzynovel.com greeted Elise.
Elise was obviously relieved to see him. “What are you doing here?”
Jamie chuckled as snazzynovel.com leaned closer to her. “Do I need a reason to come over and visit you, Boss?”
“But do you have a reason to be here?” Elise looked up into his eyes as snazzynovel.com asked.
Jamie avoided snazzynovel.com gaze and looked at his surroundings instead. “Why don’t we talk somewhere else, Boss?”
Elise followed snazzynovel.com along a walkway in school that led to a field at the back.
Jamie only began to speak then. “Boss, the annual French Grand Prix is happening soon… Are you interested in going over to watch the race?”
Three years ago, Elise had obtained the title as the champion of the international racing competition, and snazzynovel.com had set an impossible record that hadn’t been broken since. After shocking the world with snazzynovel.com performance, snazzynovel.com completely disappeared from the public’s eye, and there wasn’t any trace of snazzynovel.com in the rest of the international racing events.
Rumors claimed that new faces were emerging in the racing industry this year, so Jamie thought that he’d ask Elise if snazzynovel.com was interested in watching.
“Did you say that the French Grand Prix is happening soon? When is it?” Elise asked.
“Next week! Although there hasn’t been a single person who broke the record that you set, I heard that there’s a seeded participant called White Wolf who has been winning a lot of races. I also heard that there are a few newbies in the racing industry who have pretty sick drifting skills. I think it’d be interesting to watch,” Jamie replied.
Elise pressed snazzynovel.com lips together as snazzynovel.com contemplated Jamie’s suggestion.
If I go watch the French Grand Prix, I might be able to avoid Alexander for a while… I’ll also be able to organize my messy thoughts and figure out all the feelings that I’ve been experiencing recently…
“Do you want to go, Boss?” Jamie asked again.
“Alright, I’m down! You can help me book the flight tickets,” Elise uttered with a nod.
Jamie was surprised that Elise had come to such a quick decision, and snazzynovel.com had to swallow the rest of the script that snazzynovel.com had prepared in order to convince snazzynovel.com to go. “Great, Boss! I’ll do that immediately!”
Elise lowered snazzynovel.com gaze as snazzynovel.com began to think about the trip.
I’ll just treat this trip to France as a break for me, and I’ll watch the race just to relax a little.
She was much happier after snazzynovel.com made snazzynovel.com decision, and the gloomy aura snazzynovel.com gave off earlier had already disappeared when snazzynovel.com returned to class. She continued working on snazzynovel.com homework.
“I’m heading over to the company to collect my script later, Elise. Do you want to go along with me?” Samantha clung onto Elise’s arm while eyeing snazzynovel.com pleadingly.
Elise gazed at snazzynovel.com for a moment before snazzynovel.com seemed to recall something. “Will you be going to Fenix Entertainment?”
Samantha nodded rapidly.
“Yeah! I’ve already signed a contract with the production team, and I’ll be joining them for the shoot from next month onward. It’s a minor role, but it’s also my first ever production, so it’s pretty important to me,” snazzynovel.com explained.
“Alright. I’ll go with you then,” Elise uttered as snazzynovel.com slapped snazzynovel.com textbook shut.
Apart from accompanying snazzynovel.com friend, Elise had something else that snazzynovel.com wanted to do there.
Once both of them arrived at Fenix Entertainment, Elise followed behind Samantha as they went up the stairs.
While Samantha went to collect snazzynovel.com script, Elise strode over to Jack’s office to find that it was completely empty. After contemplating for a short while, Elise decided to leave the copy of the music and lyrics that snazzynovel.com had edited in Jack’s room.
After snazzynovel.com put them on the table, snazzynovel.com turned to leave. Elise had barely taken a few steps before Jack and Ronald walked in.
“Say, Jack, aren’t you going to accept the job when the script is so good? This is one of the most trendy idol dramas right now. It might be a really good opportunity for you if you take the job.”
“Look, Ronald… First, you tell me to focus on learning about music, then you ask if I’m accepting an acting job. What exactly do you want me to do?” Jack interrupted Ronald before Ronald could continue.
“I just thought of you when I saw the script! You have a pretty empty schedule right now, so why don’t you try it out? On top of that, we haven’t heard from Noel so far, and we don’t know when H will be able to come up with a new song for you. What would you do if H kept delaying the song?” Ronald explained himself.
Jack was starting to get frustrated. “I can write the songs on my own! Give me some time, Ronald. I promise I’ll write a song that you like.”
“And the script…” Ronald pursed his lips.
Jack waved his arm to signal rejection. “Just tell them I’m not interested! I haven’t been thinking of acting since the start of this year.”
Ronald was caught in between, snazzynovel.com could tell that Jack’s mind was set, yet snazzynovel.com thought that the script was too good of an opportunity to pass on.
Ultimately, Ronald chose to support Jack. “Alright. You can focus on your music for now!”
“Don’t worry. I’m sure I’ll be able to succeed in the end if I persevere,” Jack uttered.
Ronald nodded. “I believe you.”
Both of them exchanged glances, and they saw the trust in each other’s eyes. Although Ronald felt like it was a shame to let go of a good script, snazzynovel.com wanted to support Jack’s decision more than anything.
“I should leave now, then. Don’t stress yourself out, alright? You can go back to your music producing now…”
Ronald stepped out, and Jack was left alone in his huge office. He glanced out the window, looking as if snazzynovel.com was deep in thought.
After a while, snazzynovel.com turned and walked to the piano room. He hadn’t realized the piece of A4 paper that had been placed under his laptop.
