Coolest Girl in Town

I’ll have Cameron bring it over to you,” Alexander said. Elise glanced at the pile of shopping bags in front of her and was a little shocked that they’d actually bought so many things today. “That won’t be necessary for now. We’ve already bought a lot, actually.” Alexander nodded and asked, “What do you want to eat for dinner? I’ll pass the word to the kitchen.” Elise’s eyes moved around as she pondered. She thought of something all of a sudden and said, “I want sticky pork ribs and roasted chicken.” Alexander made a mental note of her cravings.

“Sure, get some rest and just come downstairs when it’s time for dinner.” As he spoke, he left her room with wide and brisk steps. Elise cupped her face with one hand as she stared at herself in the mirror. Strangely, she felt like a girl who was being pampered by her boyfriend. Elise lay on her huge bed and stared at the ceiling above her; an image of Alexander surfaced in her mind and she couldn’t help but smile sweetly. Then, she rolled over and gradually fell asleep. Night approached steadily outside her windows. It wasn’t until a knock sounded on her door that Elise stirred.

She stretched lazily and checked the time—she was surprised to find that it was already over 7.00PM. “Dinner’s ready, Miss Sinclair.” The housekeeper’s voice came from outside her room. Elise quickly replied, “All right, coming.” Lifting her blanket, she hopped off her bed before putting on her slippers and leaving her room. On the way down, she bumped into Danny who was playing mobile games on his phone. He instinctively hid his phone at the sight of Elise and greeted her nervously, “Boss!” Elise looked at him and asked, “Have you been gaming again?” Danny admitted sheepishly, “Yeah…

No more mobile games until you make the top three on your next exam.” Danny felt like he was being controlled, but as he gave it some thought, it was indeed his own goal to pay attention to his studies in the first place. He wouldn’t be able to study well if he continued to give in to

“Good boy. Listen, you can play your games all day all night when you get into college. I won’t stop or bother you anymore then.” For some reason, Danny felt a little bummed out when Elise said she wouldn’t bother him. It was almost as if he enjoyed being constantly supervised by her. The two of them went down the stairs one

A warm feeling flooded her heart instantly and her mouth curved up into a sweet smile. “Wow, we’re having sticky pork ribs?” Danny hastily pulled out a chair and sat down. Then, he immediately picked up his fork and knife as he prepared to dig in. At that moment, Alexander seemed to appear out of nowhere and bellowed, “Danny!” Danny froze on the spot as soon as

responded lightly and turned to Elise. “Here are the sticky pork ribs and roasted chicken that you were craving. Why don’t you give them a try?” Danny realized then that the food on the table was specially prepared for Elise. It was no wonder his brother reacted in such a way.
