Chapter 282 A Game of Cat-And-Mouse,Coolest Girl in Town

After saying that, he passed her a very pretty invitation card. “This is Designer’s Night organized by a few influential and seasoned designers in the country, and there should be quite a few new designs on this show. Later, accompany me to this event to have a look.” Lowering her head, Elise studied the card in her hands, which had a familiar name on it. Designer’s Night was considered as the source of fresh ideas for domestic fashion designers.

It may appear as a fashion show, but in private, the audience under the stage could make a bid according to the number on the model and win themselves the chance to meet and chat with the designer about the philosophy behind the design. To put it simply, it was an exchange of design inspirations. At first, Elise wasn’t very interested in it, but she didn’t want to turn Brendan down, so she followed him along. She felt much better when they received a mask at the entrance of the venue; hidden underneath the mask, so much hassle could be eliminated because nobody would know who the other was.

There weren’t many points of the show which surprised Elise. In the end, she picked a design which was kind of to her liking, then she wrote down the serial number and price before leaving the show early to go to the bathroom. When she came out, a man was standing at the door with his back facing her. At first, she thought that he was one of the models, but when she saw the mask strap around the back of his head, she realized that he was also an invited guest. Her gaze stopped on him for a couple more seconds before she looked away and prepared to leave.

When she passed by the man, he suddenly extended his arm and blocked her path. “Is anything the matter, sir?” she asked. Taking a step forward, the man stood in front of her and didn’t beat about the bush either, as he went straight to his point. “Nothing. I just wish to see how the lady who has the same tastes as me looks like,” he said, reaching out his hand to take off her mask. Out of reflex, Elise stepped backward, but the man pushed his luck and came in closer until she was leaning on the sink. With no room left for Elise to retreat, he placed both of his hands on the sink, trapping her in between.

On the other hand, Elise, who had nowhere to go, felt a wave of disgust over her chest. By using his male physical advantages to subdue a woman, this man had really pushed her button. “Sir, please watch what you’re doing.” Clenching her fists tightly, Elise suppressed her urge to strike him. “I didn’t mean to snatch anything from someone else and simply wrote a price. If you would like, you can meet with the designer.”

Under the mask, a smug smirk tinged the edges of the man’s lips. Although it was almost unnoticeable, it was especially glaring to Elise’s eyes. She recalled that she merely wrote 1,000 as the bid half-heartedly, but this guy couldn’t even out-bid her. In his eyes, the designer’s inspiration isn’t even worth 1,000? Everyone who was invited here is either rich or wealthy, and yet, he’s so stingy with his bid and even has the cheeks to make a fuss about it. Unable to hold it back anymore, she snorted and said sarcastically, “Let me guess: A well-dressed gentleman such as you—whom people can easily tell how wealthy you are—couldn’t even make a bid of more than 1,000?” Her words struck Johan Olsen in his sore spot, and he snarled under his mask angrily.

As the successor of the dignified Olsen Family, the money he would drop on the floor every time he took out his wallet would be more than 1,000. So, how could he have made such a petty bid? It’s all the fault of that new assistant who has no experience with events like this. I’m going to fire him later when I get back! he thought furiously. But this woman has a sharp tongue, and it’s kinda extraordinary how she insults without using any vulgar language. The thought of this made him even more excited, and he grabbed her entire mask with his large hand, impatient to have a look at the face of the woman underneath. However, a leg appeared from the side the next second and kicked him out straightaway.

Landing on the floor with a loud thud, he also took Elise’s mask with him at the same time. Scrambling to his feet, he had barely checked out his injuries when he decided to twist his head to check out the woman’s face instead. To his dismay, she already had her back facing him, and the man next to her was wearing a solemn expression. With the fierce, cold air around him, he looked like a murderous wolf from the Siberia. Unwittingly, Johan was stunned for a moment as he held in pain the spot where he was kicked. Alexander narrowed his dark eyes, and every word he said was aloof but firm.
