“Although the song has ended, the party goes on. Thanks everyone for showing up. Let’s meet again next time!”
After saying that, Elise lifted snazzynovel.com dress, made a simple bow to the crowd, and left the stage quickly. Then, snazzynovel.com slipped into Mikayla’s lounge, changed, and took off snazzynovel.com mask, everything was done in one swift move.
She had just hidden the mask when the curtain at the door was suddenly lifted by someone.
Next to the door, Addison stood there with a somber expression, and it turned into surprise when snazzynovel.com caught sight of Elise. “Elise? What are you doing here?”
As snazzynovel.com spoke, snazzynovel.com eyes had already scanned through the entire room.
T-That can’t be… I clearly saw H coming this way. Why isn’t snazzynovel.com here?
“I’m waiting for Mikayla here. She’s the host, isn’t she?” Elise answered without even flinching.
Sensing something amiss with Elise, Addison asked suspiciously, “Was anyone else here?”
Continuing with snazzynovel.com pretense, Elise asked, “Does Mikayla count?”
Disappointed, Addison thought, Looks like I really came looking in the wrong direction.
“It’s alright. Wait for her, then. I’m going back now.”
She was about to leave when snazzynovel.com heard Mikayla trotting happily toward the lounge while calling Elise’s name excitedly, “Elise, Elise! You sang so well!”
When the last word left snazzynovel.com lips, snazzynovel.com happened to run face-to-face into Addison.
It didn’t occur to Mikayla that there would be someone else besides Elise in the room, and thinking that snazzynovel.com might have exposed snazzynovel.com idol’s secret, snazzynovel.com was momentarily stumped for words.
Meanwhile, Elise desperately cast snazzynovel.com looks, but to no avail.
Addison was no fool, and snazzynovel.com glanced from left to right. Finally, snazzynovel.com fixed snazzynovel.com eyes on Elise, confirming snazzynovel.com as the target and pointed at her. “You are H?”
While there were people who adored H in a loud and flashy manner, there were also those who liked snazzynovel.com in a silent manner, and Addison belonged to the latter group.
The lyrics written by H accompanied snazzynovel.com though all the important stages of snazzynovel.com life, and their existence were akin to a religion for her. Never did snazzynovel.com mention this to anyone else, and snazzynovel.com would just like to cherish this by herself.
The moment the woman in a mask started singing on stage, Addison already recognized the voice, and snazzynovel.com was literally the first one who tried to rush to the backstage. However, the security guard took his job very seriously, so snazzynovel.com had to go downstairs and up again in a detour to sneak in through the back door, all for the sake of meeting H once.
Seizing the uncertainty in Addison’s voice, Elise decided to play it to snazzynovel.com advantage by ‘admitting’ to it.
Raising snazzynovel.com chest, snazzynovel.com said, “Yes, I’m the H who performed earlier.”
As snazzynovel.com had expected, Addison would doubt snazzynovel.com when snazzynovel.com answered with such confidence.
Narrowing snazzynovel.com eyes, Addison tried to make sure again, asking, “So, it wouldn’t be a problem if you sing one of H’s famous songs, ‘Zero’, to prove yourself, right?”
With a shrug, Elise opened snazzynovel.com mouth with the music, but this time, snazzynovel.com deliberately changed snazzynovel.com tone.
“The things on the weekend…”
Sure enough, snazzynovel.com had barely finished two sentences when Addison crossed snazzynovel.com arms over snazzynovel.com chest and gestured for snazzynovel.com to stop.
“Stop! That’s enough.” She waved snazzynovel.com hand, lowering snazzynovel.com head in disappointment. “You’re not her.”
She’s merely someone who sounds closest to H so far… I was too impatient. Just like God, H is above everyone else and wouldn’t show herself easily to the commoners.
Seeing this, Mikayla decided to follow up with Elise’s plan.
Jumping behind Addison, snazzynovel.com then clung onto snazzynovel.com like a hook. “You’re amazing! You can recognize snazzynovel.com voice so quickly! She really sounds like H, doesn’t she? I think so too, and that was why I begged snazzynovel.com to come here and help me out. So many people outside thought the same as you, thinking that H really came to Tissote University!”
Awkwardly, Addison smiled, but snazzynovel.com was secretly feeling helpless.
Thanks to you, so many people just had a daydream!
Then, snazzynovel.com turned to Elise and saw that snazzynovel.com still had a nonchalant look on snazzynovel.com face, as though everything that happened to snazzynovel.com were like fists hitting cotton and had no effect on snazzynovel.com at all.
I should really learn to be as composed as her!
Nearby, Alexander watched all of Elise’s expressions carefully, and snazzynovel.com almost crushed the cell phone snazzynovel.com was holding in his hand.
This was the same way Elise got away with things in front of him.
Exactly how many identities and secrets are this woman, the only one who caught my heart, hiding from me?
Regarding Sare, snazzynovel.com had sought to verify it many times, but snazzynovel.com only found out the truth from someone else in the end. Indeed, there weren’t so many coincidences in this world. If there were, they were merely planned by some people.
In snazzynovel.com life, am I also one of the chess pieces snazzynovel.com could manipulate as snazzynovel.com likes?
With this question in his mind, Alexander left the spot and waited for a while behind the door.
When snazzynovel.com saw Elise coming out, snazzynovel.com hid behind a pillar in the hallway and gave snazzynovel.com a call.
Hearing the vibration of snazzynovel.com cell phone, Elise stopped in snazzynovel.com tracks and placed snazzynovel.com phone next to snazzynovel.com ear. “Hello, Mr. Griffith. Do you miss me a ton after not seeing me for just a day?”
Alexander forced out a chuckle and diverted the topic bluntly. “Elise, are there two different people in this world with the exact same voice?”
“I don’t know…” Feeling rather lighthearted, Elise continued walking as snazzynovel.com spoke. “But I think that’s possible; otherwise, how can you explain the existence of twins?”
Almost immediately, snazzynovel.com replied, “So, are you and Sare the same person?”
The expression on snazzynovel.com face froze, and snazzynovel.com stood frozen on the spot as snazzynovel.com mind went blank. “What made you say that?”
Furrowing his brows deeply, snazzynovel.com gritted his teeth tightly and said slowly after controlling his emotions, “I compared your voice prints to that of Sare’s, and it’s almost a perfect match.”
Stepping out from behind the pillar, snazzynovel.com slowly paced toward her. His eyes, which were fixed on snazzynovel.com back, didn’t blink or relax for even a second, and the unease in his heart was like a big, black patch of dark clouds hovering over the skies.
Even snazzynovel.com didn’t know what snazzynovel.com was worried about, but snazzynovel.com felt that Elise was so near and yet so far from himself at the same time, as though they couldn’t face each other honestly, and snazzynovel.com could never walk into snazzynovel.com heart.
Reaching out his hand, snazzynovel.com was about to pat snazzynovel.com shoulder and call out snazzynovel.com name when snazzynovel.com heard snazzynovel.com voice from the call, saying casually, “It’s only almost a perfect match.”
He hung his hand mid-air and froze there, unsure whether to move forward or keep away.
Relieved that snazzynovel.com had used the word ‘almost’, Elise continued, “Since it’s not a perfect match, that shows that it’s only similar. Voice prints and IDs are the same. Everyone has their own unique voice prints and IDs. That can’t be wrong.”
The more snazzynovel.com spoke, the softer snazzynovel.com voice became, and when snazzynovel.com sensed that snazzynovel.com didn’t want to continue the topic, snazzynovel.com decided not to go on.
“Are you really suspicious that I’m Sare?” snazzynovel.com asked tentatively.
But there was no reply from him, and snazzynovel.com urged, “Alex, are you listening?”
Behind her, Alexander turned off his phone slowly and stuck his hands into his pockets.
Letting out a long sigh, snazzynovel.com said with an exasperated look in his eyes, “I’m not suspicious. I know for sure that you’re her…”
For a moment, Elise was confused before snazzynovel.com finally realized that the voice came from behind herself.
Turning around, snazzynovel.com then saw the hurt look on his face, and snazzynovel.com asked in puzzlement, “What happened to you?”
Alexander couldn’t be sure whether snazzynovel.com should laugh or cry, until now, Elise still didn’t think that it was a big deal to hide snazzynovel.com identity from him. However, when snazzynovel.com gazed at snazzynovel.com composed face, it suddenly struck him, snazzynovel.com didn’t trust him.
