“Coolest Girl in Town Readonline/Audionovel Chapter 198”
The moment Elise emerged from campus after class, she immediately spotted Alexander’s car from afar. Alexander opened his car door and immediately walked toward her before asking, “Are you done with classes?” Upon hearing his question, she nodded in response. Then, he held her by her hand and opened the car door for her. Many of her classmates started to comment about their interaction as they watched the scene unfold.
However, Elise couldn’t care less about what was happening behind her. As soon as Alexander entered the car, he started the car engine and drove off. “Are we heading home?” she asked. He gave a dry cough as he stole a glance at the notes he prepared before he replied, “Let’s dine out for dinner. After that, we’ll watch a movie in the cinema. I’ve already bought tickets for the rom com that just premiered.” Why does it feel like a date to me? A surprised Elise questioned, “Are you bringing me out on a date?” A soft hum was heard from Alexander as a response, which left her smiling from ear to ear and feeling inexplicably excited.
Soon, they arrived at an exclusive restaurant which served western cuisine. A man approached them moments after they sat down and were about to place their order. “Hello, Alexander! It’s been a while since I last saw you! I even thought I’ve mistaken someone else for you…” While raising his eyebrows, Alexander noticed that the man in front of him was his classmate from high school, Peter Simms. Although they hadn’t spoken to each other for many years, Alexander still politely greeted his ex-classmate, “It’s been a while, Peter.”
Peter was clearly aware of Alexander’s status as he had been trying to compare and compete with Alexander secretly throughout the years. Nonetheless, how could a small startup company like Peter’s ever defeat the Griffith Group, which had been in the market for more than a century? Now that he thought about it, he couldn’t help but be slightly jealous of Alexander. “Are you also here for dinner too? Oh, hello…” The nonchalant expression on Peter’s face suddenly darkened when he spotted Elise. Why is Alexander, the well known heir of Griffith Group, having dinner with such an ugly woman?
“Young Master Alex, is this your servant?” The question slipped right out of his mouth before he even realized it. Both Elise and Alexander’s expressions sank almost immediately as a result. Just as she was about to respond, Alexander reached out to give her hand a squeeze before introducing her to Peter, “This is my fiancée, Elise.” Such a short and simple answer was enough to startle Elise slightly. Even Peter was stunned. Wait, what? The ugly-looking lady is actually his fiancée? “Hehe… It seems like you have a different taste when it comes to women, Alexander!”
His words had dripped with sarcasm, to which Alexander responded coldly, “Well, I don’t see how it has anything to do with you.” However, Peter seemed to be oblivious of the anger on Alexander’s face and continued to pull Alexander’s leg. “That’s not what I meant. Clearly, your choice in women has nothing to do with me. However, aren’t you embarrassed to be seen with an ugly lady like her?” At that moment, Elise silently clenched her hands into fists as she felt a sense of humiliation. Never did she expect that her appearance would bring Alexander such disgrace.
“You…” Right when she was about to fight back, he interrupted her with a soft smile and poured her a glass of water before he consoled, “Just Ignore him. He’s merely a crazy dog barking at us.” Upon hearing Alexander’s insult, Peter was instantly pissed off. “Who are you to call me a dog?! How dare you! I’m still your ex-classmate after all! I can still recall those days when you were head over heels for the most beautiful girl in our school, but now you’re treating this ugly monster as if she is your treasure!” Alexander gave Peter a cold look. “Peter Simms, right?
It seems like your parents did not raise you well. If that’s the case, I guess I should help them out by teaching you a lesson today.” Immediately, he stood up and walked toward Peter. Peter started to retreat backward as he was terrified by Alexander’s imposing manner. “W-What are you trying to do?” When Alexander saw how frightened Peter was, he didn’t feel like punching Peter at all. However, the fact that the man messed up his date with Elise was undeniable.
