Coolest Girl in Town

At night, Elise sat down in front of her laptop and stared at her chat history with Alexander. After hesitating for a moment, she finally typed out the message she wanted to send him. ‘Mr. Griffith, I’ll be going overseas in a few days’ time. We’ll have to stop the Arisian classes for now, and I’ll inform you once I’m back in the country.’

When Alexander received the message from Sare, he didn’t get the chance to respond immediately as someone knocked on his door just then. Cameron hurried into the room moments later. “President Griffith, I’ve booked the flight tickets to France and the entrance tickets for the French Grand Prix.

Here you go.” Alexander nodded. “You can leave them there.” Cameron obediently placed the tickets by the side before he continued speaking. “The president knows that you’re going to France, and he specially requested for you to visit an old friend on behalf of him while you’re there. This is his friend’s address—he told me to pass it to you.” Cameron pulled out a piece of A4 paper that had a series of French words written on it.

Alexander frowned as he glanced at the French address. I don’t think I’ve ever heard Grandpa talk about his friend in France. Well, I guess I should follow his orders since he’s my senior. “Just let Grandpa know that I’ll be sure to visit his friend,” Alexander finally uttered. “Got it, President Griffith! I’ll excuse myself now.”

Once Cameron left the room, Alexander shifted his focus back to Elise’s message on his screen. ‘I happen to be busy too. We can get in touch once you’re done with your business,’ he replied. After sending the message, Alexander picked up the flight and entrance tickets that had been left on his table.

He held it tightly in his hands while he glanced out of the window to look at the night sky. Fragments of the past flashed across his mind, and he thought, When will I be able to see you in an international competition again, Sue? … Three days later, Elise and Jamie boarded a flight to France.
