Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 63

Elise opened the take-out carrier bag to reveal the delicately-prepared dishes. Her stomach rumbled at the sight of the food and before long, the three girls sat on their stools and began to dig in.

“This is so good!” Samantha exclaimed in delight as she took a bite of one of the dishes.

Upon hearing this, Riley quickly sampled a mouthful of the food as well. “That’s incredible. I need to know the name of the restaurant so that I can drop by in the future.”

The two girls agreed earnestly, and as Riley ate her supper, she caught a glimpse of Samantha’s wrist watch. “Samantha, is that a new watch you’re wearing? It’s gorgeous!”

“Thanks. My daddy gave it to me for my birthday,” Samantha explained. “It’s a limited edition from Chanel; I couldn’t bear to take it out of the box until two days

Samantha nodded in agreement. “My daddy and his business partners all have a staple piece in their watch collection. The watches represent who they are.”

Elise hummed in response, conceding to the argument. “Well, in that case, I should probably read up on this theory.”
