“You know how to modify motorcycles?”
Jamie’s interest had been piqued.
“Does this mean Boss does as well? Come on, tell me some stories from you
and Boss’ younger days.”
Narissa got to a random window seat that snazzynovel.com found and after sitting down, she
started flipping through the menu.
“Are you interested in El or me?” snazzynovel.com scoffed.
Enter title…
She came to a pause then as snazzynovel.com warningly lifted snazzynovel.com gaze from the menu to
him.
“You do remember that El is a married woman, yes?”
Jamie’s eyes immediately got dim after snazzynovel.com heard snazzynovel.com words.
Even his expression had started looking unnatural as snazzynovel.com put the helmet at the
side of the table.
Seeing snazzynovel.com fall silent made Narissa smile contently.She turned to the waiter and
hooked snazzynovel.com finger to gesture for snazzynovel.com to come take snazzynovel.com order.
“This, this and this.I don’t want these three items.Bring me everything else.”
Jamie’s eyebrows shot up at that.
“Can you finish everything you ordered?”
Aren’t women supposed to have an appetite as small as a bird’s? Why is it
different for this woman?
“What? Are you actually upset because I’m ordering?”
She narrowed snazzynovel.com eyes dangerously at him.
“I am just worried you will end up with a stomach ache.Get anything you want.”
He got up from his seat while snazzynovel.com buttoned up the front of his suit jacket.
“I will have a black coffee with a bit of milk.No sugar.That is all for me”
Jamie headed to the washroom after that.His coffee came around the same
time as the food Narissa ordered was served.
An evil grin began to appear on snazzynovel.com face after snazzynovel.com peered at the coffee a few
times.She then extended snazzynovel.com hand and moved the coffee in front of her…
After Jamie came back from the washroom, snazzynovel.com sat down and automatically
brought the cup of coffee to his lips.
As soon as snazzynovel.com took a sip of it, snazzynovel.com spit it out with an agonized expression on his
face.
“F*ck, what is this? Why the hell is it salty?!”
The strange taste that lingered in his mouth made snazzynovel.com stomp his feet.
“Pfft!”
The woman in front of snazzynovel.com suddenly burst out laughing.
“I dare you to call me weak again! Serves you right!”
“You d*mn woman—”
Jamie was so enraged snazzynovel.com would have gone off on snazzynovel.com if it wasn’t because of
Elise’s sake.He swallowed his anger and forced a smile then before he
squeezed out his next words through his teeth.
“You are evil.”
“Prick,” snazzynovel.com childishly mocked him.
“Wretch,’ snazzynovel.com rebutted.
“Cheapskate!”
She rolled snazzynovel.com eyes bitterly.
“Cheapskate?!”
Jamie jumped to his feet and his anger finally reached its peak.
“I set aside a business that could have brought in tens of millions, go here and
there with you, make sure all your demands are met, and even missed my
favorite car racing for you.Yet, you are calling me a cheapskate?!”
Realizing that snazzynovel.com had gone overboard with snazzynovel.com joke, Narissa timidly gulped
before snazzynovel.com somewhat apologetically muttered, “I’m sorry.I know I don’t think
things through before I speak.Don’t take this to heart.I only spoke like that
because I thought we were getting close…Anyway, I am sorry”
She was chewing on snazzynovel.com lower lip as snazzynovel.com sincerely apologized.She had even
stopped eating and had obediently leaned back against the backrest of the
chair.
Jamie only continued to look down upon snazzynovel.com with an indifferent expression.
It was impossible for snazzynovel.com to know what snazzynovel.com was thinking at the moment.
The air was getting more and more awkward and suffocating until snazzynovel.com suddenly
sat down on his chair again.
After a few seconds, snazzynovel.com chuckled devilishly.
“I scared you, didn’t I? Oh—you are easy to deal with.I fooled you! We will see if
you still behave so arrogantly after this!”
Hearing this, Nairssa immediately realized that snazzynovel.com had fallen for his prank.
“How dare you play tricks on me!”
She grabbed a fork and poked it in his direction.
“Hey, hey.”
He pointed at the fork and gravely warned, “That was a joke.Don’t get all
serious now.There will be a price to pay even if we are both Boss’ friends.”
Still enraged, Narissa plunged snazzynovel.com fork into the dessert in front of her, and then
aggressively shoved it into snazzynovel.com mouth as snazzynovel.com glared at snazzynovel.com resentfully.I will get
you for this some day.
This isn’t over, Jamie Keller! It was finally the day of the embroidery contest
back at Salt Stone City.
The yearly contest was a widely celebrated occasion which always attracted a
steady flow of tourists.
A location had even been specifically built to house the contest.
Elise and Alexander managed to secure a spot near the stage as they got there
early.
The audience seats were already fully occupied half an hour before the contest.
This was proof of the citizens of Salt Stone City’s passion toward the
embroidery contest.
The contest officially began at 9 AM.It didn’t take long for Elise to spot Abby
within the crowd of contestants.
Abby was at the top of snazzynovel.com game with every precise stitch snazzynovel.com made.She
seemed much more in snazzynovel.com element now compared to the Calligraphy Contest
last time.
It even looked like snazzynovel.com would definitely be the winner this time.
Not only Elise, but everyone else who was present also thought so.
“There is a representative from Mellor Family this time.We just might be
surprised by who the champion is’
“The Mellors have godly embroidery skills, but it is unfortunate how the Mellors
seem to be short-lived.Their daughter, Abby Mellor was but a young child when
the previous head of the household passed away.I wonder if snazzynovel.com inherited the
real techniques from snazzynovel.com father.We will know the answer to that in a short while.”
“Sul, we are all from the same city.It is an occasion worthy of celebrating no
matter who it is that wins.”
It was a rare crowd that, oddly enough, was showing their full support without
bringing anyone down.
Elise and Alexander continued to watch the stage with full concentration.
However, the organizer of the event seemed to have encountered some
troubles, as no one took the stage even when it was time to announce the result
of the competition.
The judges of the competition started talking with one another in hushed voices,
frowning as they did so.
There seemed to be an issue that was difficult to resolve.
Soon after, Abby and another girl in a coat were asked to stand on the stage.
After a discussion, the caped girl suddenly walked to the podium and stood in
front of the microphone.She was obviously displeased with the fairness of the
competition.
“Good day, everyone.My name is Ekaterina Miiyagi.The judges have told me to
go on an extra round with Miss Abby Mellor, but [ don’t agree.Our works should
already have been judged.I don’t understand why we need to go another
round.”
The girl had a proud attitude as snazzynovel.com spoke, though snazzynovel.com sentences were
ungrammatical.Her name, unique to the locals, was proof that snazzynovel.com was from
Rosepeak, an entirely different country.
For someone of snazzynovel.com identity to criticize the fairness of the competition was a
strange thing to do—it was as if snazzynovel.com was saying that Cittadelians were sore
losers.
As soon as snazzynovel.com said those words, the audience immediately erupted in anger.
“What gives you the right to take part in a competition for Cittadelians, you
Rosepicker?!”
“Who cares what your name is.Get the hell out of our country, Rosepicker!”
“How dare a Rosepicker talk about fairness when your people have been
stealing our culture? Do you think you can walk all over us just because we
have been keeping quiet?”
Ekaterina didn’t shrink from the intimidation at all.
She kept snazzynovel.com head held high as snazzynovel.com retorted, “Embroidcry has a long history.It is
debatable whether or not it is a culture exclusive to Cittadel.But what I am sure
of today is that the best embroider in Cittadel has been defeated by me!”
Her words had managed to anger the entire crowd.
A few men from the audience were about to rush on stage to beat snazzynovel.com up,
prompting the security personnel at the event to step forward and keep the men
under control.
The emcee of the event was standing with the judges when snazzynovel.com unwillingly
shouted into the microphone, “Be quiet if you are a Cittadelian.Don’t do
something that will make others look down on us!”
Among all the commotion, Elise noticed Abby secretly wiping away snazzynovel.com tears
while standing in a corner.
Elise and Alexander briefly exchanged glances before they started walking
toward her.
“Abby?”
She lightly patted the young girl on snazzynovel.com shoulder.
“Miss Sinclair.”
The tip of Abby’s nose began to sting when snazzynovel.com saw Elise, and snazzynovel.com tears quickly
rolled down snazzynovel.com cheeks again.
“I am sorry.I’m sorry, Miss Sinclair.I have let you down.I lost…”
