In the end, Ashlyn proudly walked away while Elise, who wasn’t far away, turned around without hesitation and left in the other direction.
Alexander waited at the school entrance for a long time until most of the students were gone, but snazzynovel.com still couldn’t see Elise, so snazzynovel.com gave snazzynovel.com a call.
“Hello, the number you have dialed is unavailable…” He frowned and felt slightly surprised, but snazzynovel.com still refused to leave and waited at the school entrance till night had fallen. It was only then that snazzynovel.com called the phone back home and found out from Stella that Elise had already returned home.
Therefore, snazzynovel.com rushed back home in confusion.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Alexander knocked on the door several times but there was no response, so snazzynovel.com quickly said, “I know you’re in there. Can you please open the door? I have something to tell you.”
However, snazzynovel.com was met with a moment of silence.
He knocked on the door again and unexpectedly, the room door was suddenly opened, revealing an emotionless Elise. “What is it?”
He noticed that snazzynovel.com wasn’t in a good mood, so snazzynovel.com asked, “Are you feeling down?”
“No…” She uttered that simple word with a monotonous tone, so snazzynovel.com asked again, “Why didn’t you wait for me after school? I was waiting for you at the entrance.”
“I just so happened to hitchhike a car and came back straight away.” After that, snazzynovel.com lifted snazzynovel.com eyes to look at him. “I’m tired and I need to go to bed. If there’s nothing else, I’m going to close the door…”
Without waiting for his reply, snazzynovel.com immediately slammed the door shut, leaving a confused Alexander standing outside.
Seeing the situation, Stella quickly came to comfort him, “Young Master Alex, you need to coax snazzynovel.com to make snazzynovel.com feel better. Maybe Miss Elise is in a bad mood today, so you should take more care of snazzynovel.com and coax snazzynovel.com more.”
Alexander, on the other hand, was clueless when snazzynovel.com heard that. “What should I do?”
She smiled and answered, “Young Master Alex, if you do something that snazzynovel.com likes, maybe it’ll work.”
Something that snazzynovel.com likes?
He immediately found himself feeling puzzled as snazzynovel.com seemed to realize that snazzynovel.com did not know Elise very well.
I don’t even know what snazzynovel.com likes or doesn’t like.
***
The next morning, when Alexander came downstairs, snazzynovel.com asked Stella, “Has Elise woken up yet? Go and wake snazzynovel.com up!”
“Miss Elise said that snazzynovel.com is going to do snazzynovel.com homework in school, so snazzynovel.com left early in the morning. She didn’t even finish snazzynovel.com breakfast before leaving,” snazzynovel.com quickly explained.
She left? Is snazzynovel.com still in a bad mood?
However, as soon as Elise arrived at school, snazzynovel.com couldn’t read a single word on snazzynovel.com homework because from last night until now, all snazzynovel.com had on snazzynovel.com mind was the scene snazzynovel.com saw yesterday.
Then, Jacinda came in. It was still early at the moment, so there weren’t any other students in the huge classroom except for the two of them.
Thinking about what Ashlyn said to her, Jacinda had completely shook off snazzynovel.com defeated look from yesterday as snazzynovel.com walked straight toward Elise and said, “Geniuses really are different from normal people. I didn’t expect to see you this early in class.”
Elise was already in a bad mood and snazzynovel.com didn’t want to talk to the other girl at all so naturally, snazzynovel.com didn’t reply to snazzynovel.com words.
However, Jacinda wasn’t planning to let snazzynovel.com go this easily and continued, “I’ve already thought about what happened yesterday. Even though I was the one who spread the rumors, I don’t think that it has affected you much. Besides, Alexander already told me that I don’t need to apologize to you, so that’ll be the end of the problems between us. From now on, the two of us can just mind our own business and not interfere with each other.”
The moment Alexander’s name was mentioned, Elise felt snazzynovel.com expression change.
Is snazzynovel.com really going to let this slide?
“Do you really think you can get away with this so easily?” snazzynovel.com uttered coldly.
With a smile, Jacinda said, “Yes. Do you actually think I’ll apologize to you in front of all the students? That’s so embarrassing. Besides, believe it or not, Alexander already said that I don’t need to apologize. By the way, Miss Sinclair, there’s something I forgot to tell you. Ashlyn is my cousin and she’s Alexander’s childhood sweetheart. I believe that if you didn’t interfere with their relationship, they would have been married by now. Even so, Alexander still takes very good care of my cousin. As soon as snazzynovel.com heard that I’m snazzynovel.com cousin, snazzynovel.com told snazzynovel.com that this matter is over.”
After the whole tirade, the only thing that registered in Elise’s mind was Jacinda’s last sentence.
So, Alexander forgave everything that Jacinda did and even told snazzynovel.com that snazzynovel.com doesn’t need to apologize to me all because snazzynovel.com is Ashlyn’s cousin?
This is obviously not what snazzynovel.com said before! Why is there a huge change in his attitude?!
Elise silently clenched snazzynovel.com fists without saying a word.
As for Jacinda, snazzynovel.com didn’t expect the other girl to be so calm after listening to snazzynovel.com words, so snazzynovel.com thought about what Ashlyn told snazzynovel.com and continued, “I know that you won’t believe me, but I can tell you that Ashlyn and Alexander still have feelings for each other. If you really don’t believe me, you can go to the Sunrise Hotel at 3PM today. Alexander is meeting my cousin there in room 502.”
After that, snazzynovel.com stopped talking and left the rest to Elise’s imagination.
The moment Elise heard that they were meeting up at the hotel, snazzynovel.com completely lost snazzynovel.com composure. If it weren’t for the last bit of reasoning in snazzynovel.com head telling snazzynovel.com not to listen to Jacinda’s nonsense, snazzynovel.com would have gone wild.
In the end, snazzynovel.com managed to keep snazzynovel.com cool and said, “You only know how to spread lies with your mouth, so do you really think I’ll believe you?”
Jacinda waved snazzynovel.com hands and replied, “It doesn’t matter whether you believe me or not. I’m just speaking the truth.”
Taking a deep breath, Elise kept on telling herself that Alexander wasn’t that kind of a person but deep down, snazzynovel.com couldn’t help but wonder if what Jacinda said was true.
Time trickled away and it felt like torture to Elise from morning all the way to noon. She had never felt time moving so slow before.
After school at noon, snazzynovel.com could no longer sit still and wait.
I don’t care whether what Jacinda said is true or false, but I need to have a look for myself. After all, I have to see it to believe it!
And so, Elise exited the school and took a cab to Sunrise Hotel. Then, snazzynovel.com took a look at the time and saw that it was 1PM at the moment, which meant that there were two more hours till the time Jacinda mentioned.
When Elise saw a coffee shop opposite the hotel, snazzynovel.com simply went inside and ordered a cup of coffee while waiting.
At noon, Alexander ended an international meeting and looked at the time.
When snazzynovel.com saw that it was time for lunch, snazzynovel.com called his assistant. “Cameron, come in…”
Not long after, there was a knock on his office door.
“Young Master Alex, are you looking for me?”
“I want you to go to the restaurant opposite the building and order two special dishes. Then, help me send it to Elise’s school.”
Upon hearing that, Cameron quickly replied, “Yes, Young Master Alex. I’ll do it now.”
However, just as snazzynovel.com was about to leave, Alexander halted him. “Forget it. I’ll order it myself and send it to snazzynovel.com school afterward…”
