Coolest Girl in Town Chapter 45

After class, Elise and Mikayla laughed and chatted as they exited the school doors. “I hate parting ways with you, Elise. Wouldn’t it be nice if we lived together? We could eat together, do our homework together, and sleep at the same time.”

As she stroked Mikayla’s head, Elise comforted, “Why don’t I visit your place when I have the time?”

In an instant, Mikayla’s eyes brightened. “Good; that sounds awesome! When the time comes, I’ll have my mum prepare some dishes that you like. When are you coming to visit, though?”

After a moment of thought, Elise replied, “In a few days’ time. I’ll come over after the Chinese Week competition.”

“Alright. It’s set, then!”

It was only then did Mikayla happily bid Elise adieu. After waving goodbye to her, Elise headed toward a familiar car waiting nearby and opened the door. Upon doing so, she greeted Matthew, who grunted in reply.

After she entered the car, he took the initiative to inform her, “Grandpa is having dinner tonight and wants me to bring you along.”

“Alright. We’ll go together then.” Although Elise had no idea what kind of dinner it was, it had to be an important event if Jonah was the host.

They then arrived at a private room of a restaurant. Once they passed through the doors, they saw the other young masters of the Griffith Family had already arrived, including Brendan, who rarely showed his face.

When Jonah saw Elise, he waved her over. “Come on over, Ellie.”

She obediently walked up to him and respectfully greeted, “Hi, Grandpa.”

Then, with a smile, he introduced her to the person next to him. “This is Ellie, my granddaughter; she’s also known as my future granddaughter-in-law.”

The simple introduction was enough to cause everyone’s expression to change. Even Elise was startled, but she didn’t protest whatsoever.
