Coolest Girl in Town

“Miss Lily agreed to be here at 6.00PM, so I’m sure she’ll be down soon,” Elise replied. Alexander raised his wrist to look at the time. “Let’s head over first, then.” They walked over to the restaurant, with Elise following behind Alexander. All of a sudden, his footsteps came to a halt. “Oh. Please go to my car and bring the red wine over. It’s the one that Lily wants—I left it on my passenger’s seat.” He handed his car keys to Elise as he spoke.

She took the keys and turned to head to the parking lot. After collecting the red wine, she went back to the restaurant.

He then shifted his gaze to Lily as he recalled how he had intended to discuss some work-related stuff with her. “Miss Lily, I truly appreciate you traveling over to Athesea just to improve the work that we’re doing together.

I believe our partnership will be a fruitful one.” Before Alexander could go on, Lily interrupted him. “It wasn’t necessary for me to travel here, Mr. Griffith. However…” She gave him a cryptic stare that seemed rather seductive. “There was something about this trip to Athesea that made me especially drawn to it. I believe we can talk about our work a while later—I’d prefer if I had some time to adjust to the time differences first.

“Is there anything in particular that you’d like to do, Miss Lily?” She beamed

She looks like she’s just here to seduce Alexander. “I’ll get my assistant to arrange a trip to the hot springs if that’s what you’d like, Miss Lily,” Alexander uttered. Lily let out a shrill giggle.
