Friend?
Obviously, Quentin didn’t believe what Elise had said since the man was a young lad in his early 20s. He couldn’t help but ask, “Tell me the truth, Ellie, is snazzynovel.com the boyfriend you talked about?”
Elise quickly explained, “You’re overthinking it, Papa. He’s just a friend of mine.”
Seeing how serious Elise looked, Quentin believed snazzynovel.com somewhat. He then ordered the bodyguard, “Go and bring snazzynovel.com here…”
“Yes, sir!”
With that, Jamie was brought in by the bodyguard.
At the sight of Elise, snazzynovel.com immediately trotted up to snazzynovel.com with a look of worry. “Are you all right, Boss?”
“I’m fine. Come. I’ll introduce you to my godfather…”
Jamie was still confused upon hearing this. He then turned to look at Quentin, and a glance was all it took for snazzynovel.com to find that the man looked very familiar. He felt like snazzynovel.com had seen snazzynovel.com somewhere before.
“Hello, sir,” snazzynovel.com immediately greeted. Then, his face showed a look of surprise, as if snazzynovel.com had recalled something.
“Y-You… You’re… The, uh…” He was so thrilled that snazzynovel.com couldn’t say anything for a long time.
Elise patted snazzynovel.com on the shoulder. What a wimp, snazzynovel.com thought.
“B-Boss, h-he’s Quentin Fassbender, the richest man on earth who topped the Forbes’ list of the world’s richest billionaires, isn’t he?” Jamie asked excitedly.
“Uh-huh,” Elise responded softly.
Jamie became even more excited as snazzynovel.com hurriedly stepped forward and extended his hand. “Nice to meet you, sir! I’m Jamie Keller. I didn’t expect to actually meet you one day. It’s such a great honor!”
Quentin was amused by Jamie’s series of actions.
This young lad’s quite interesting…
“You’re a friend of Ellie’s?”
Jamie nodded repeatedly before adding, “Actually, I’m snazzynovel.com lackey. She’s my boss.”
Quentin turned to look at Elise with a slightly raised eyebrow. “So our Elise is also a boss now, huh? That’s pretty good. At least you didn’t make me look bad.”
“Jamie only barged in out of concern for my safety, Papa,” Elise explained.
Quentin reassured snazzynovel.com with a smile, “It’s fine. This young lad looks decent. Please stay by Ellie’s side and take good care of snazzynovel.com on my behalf in the future.”
Jamie nodded vigorously. “Please rest assured, sir. I’ll definitely take good care of her.”
“Good to hear. Join me for a meal later, Ellie,” Quentin said as snazzynovel.com took Elise into the mansion.
Then, snazzynovel.com seemed to think of something and suggested, “Ellie, since you have a boyfriend, it’s time that you bring snazzynovel.com over for me to take a look at him.”
“Uh… How about we put this off until later, Papa?” Elise was at a loss for what to do.
Where am I supposed to get a boyfriend on such short notice?
“No, that won’t do. I think now’s the best time to do that, so let’s do that today. Just bring snazzynovel.com over later.”
“But…” Elise still wanted to say something.
However, Quentin seemed to have seen through her. He leaned over to snazzynovel.com and whispered, “Ellie, just tell me right away if you really don’t have a boyfriend. I won’t blame you for that. Besides, Owen’s a really nice guy, and you should believe in my judgment. You’re my daughter, so there’s no way I’ll do you harm.”
Elise gritted snazzynovel.com teeth before snazzynovel.com promptly replied, “Papa, I’ll bring snazzynovel.com over to see you later. As for Mr. Morgan, I think we’d better be friends.”
Her words were pretty straightforward.
Seeing that snazzynovel.com still insisted on claiming to be in a relationship, Quentin couldn’t help but wonder if snazzynovel.com really had a boyfriend.
Still, it’s nothing to worry about… So what if snazzynovel.com does have a boyfriend?
Everything is subject to change as long as she’s still unmarried… Moreover, even a married couple can get divorced these days if they find their marriage to be an ill-suited match, so I’ve never worried about such a problem.
“Okay, it’s settled then. Bring snazzynovel.com over tonight so that I can get a good look at him.”
Elise had no choice but to say yes. Inwardly, though, snazzynovel.com was in a fret.
Where could I find a boyfriend?
She thought of the Griffith siblings.
Danny’s definitely out of the question. He’s not mature enough, so Papa may frighten snazzynovel.com with just a few casual remarks…
Brendan is also out of the question, he’s too busy since snazzynovel.com spends almost every single day in his design studio. Besides, snazzynovel.com and I aren’t that close yet… Jack, on the other hand, is okay, but how should I ask snazzynovel.com for help?
As soon as Elise and Jamie came out of the villa, Jamie went up to her. “Since when have you been in a relationship, Boss? Why didn’t I know about it?”
Elise quickly covered his mouth and signaled snazzynovel.com to stop talking about it.
Taking the hint at once, Jamie immediately shook Elise’s hand off and said, “Boss, did you…”
Elise silenced snazzynovel.com with a look before snazzynovel.com could finish his sentence.
Jamie nodded vigorously. “I got it, Boss. Let’s go back first.”
Jamie then drove Elise home. On their way back, snazzynovel.com asked, “Boss, are you gonna have someone pose as your boyfriend?”
“Uh-huh,” Elise responded somewhat irritably at the mention of this.
Jamie then asked, “And who’s the lucky guy you’ve chosen?”
Elise pursed snazzynovel.com lips. “What do you think of Jack?”
Jamie was naturally surprised to hear Jack’s name. “So you like men of his sort, Boss?”
Elise replied, “He’s a suitable candidate. It’s just that I have no idea how to talk to snazzynovel.com about it.”
Jamie shook his head, though.
“I don’t think Jack’s the right man to do this, Boss. You’re looking for someone to pose as your boyfriend, so I think someone like Alexander is probably more suitable,” snazzynovel.com suggested in all sincerity.
However, Elise backed off when snazzynovel.com heard Alexander’s name, mainly because snazzynovel.com felt guilty and thus passed snazzynovel.com over in snazzynovel.com mind right away. “Just forget about him…”
Jamie was puzzled. “Why, Boss? He’s the Griffith Family’s eldest son, as well as the family’s best heir. With his reputation in the business world, snazzynovel.com can definitely win Mr. Fassbender over. Besides, I think he’s the only one who’s good enough for you, Boss.”
Elise hemmed and hawed before snazzynovel.com spoke. “Forget it. Jack’s more suitable, after all.”
At the very least, snazzynovel.com thought of Jack as a friend. But for Alexander, snazzynovel.com couldn’t, snazzynovel.com couldn’t see snazzynovel.com as just a friend.
“Alright! Whatever you say. So are we gonna go to Jack right now?”
Elise checked the time and said, “I’ll call snazzynovel.com first and see whether he’s free tonight.”
As snazzynovel.com spoke, snazzynovel.com took out snazzynovel.com cell phone and called Jack.
In the meantime, Jack was pacing around in the hospital lobby with his body muffled up from head to toe.
When snazzynovel.com took the elevator and reached the ward, Ronald was still there.
Ronald asked, “Why are you here, Jack? Didn’t I tell you to leave this to me?”
Jack frowned slightly. “I’m worried. How’s she? Is snazzynovel.com okay?”
Ronald immediately answered, “She’s okay. It’s just a slight concussion. She’ll be fine after a few days’ rest.”
Jack let out a sigh of relief.
“I’ll check on snazzynovel.com and apologize while I’m at it,” snazzynovel.com said as snazzynovel.com opened the door to the ward.
Meanwhile, Mikayla was already awake for quite some time, though snazzynovel.com didn’t know it was Jack who had knocked snazzynovel.com over. She was only put on an intravenous drip as instructed by the doctor. Bored stiff, snazzynovel.com was watching Jack’s drama on snazzynovel.com cell phone.
He looks so dashing!
She was acting all fangirl while staring at Jack, snazzynovel.com Prince Charming, on snazzynovel.com phone’s screen.
Just then, the door to snazzynovel.com ward was opened, and a heavily disguised man walked in, which really frightened her. “Who are you?”
