Chapter 276 Vera, Coolest Girl in Town
Rowena answered, “Our young miss invited you to her home, and she specifically asked me to come and pick you up.” When Alexander heard this, suspicion flashed across his eyes, then he asked, “Young miss of what family?” Rowena replied politely, “The Anderson Family from Tissote.” These simple words revealed the family’s identity, but Alexander’s eyes still turned gloomy. It could be said that not a single person didn’t know about the Anderson Family from Tissote. They were a prominent family with a century-old history, but unfortunately, their glorious days had passed. Moreover, there were severe internal conflicts within their family now. “I’m sorry, but please tell Miss Anderson that I’m busy today and won’t be able to make it.”
Rowena glanced at Alexander and met his gaze. It was just a short moment, but she was stunned by his powerful aura. This man isn’t simple! Coming back to her senses, Rowena said, “Okay, Miss Sinclair! Next time, I’ll tell you in advance before coming over.” Elise gave her a slight nod, then got into Alexander’s car, which slowly revved up and drove off. Without waiting for Alexander to ask, Elise explained, “Miss Anderson is my client. She had a wedding dress custom-made at Brendan’s studio!” Alexander grunted but didn’t point out the Andersons’ current situation.
He simply said, “Don’t get too close to the Andersons! Just having normal interactions is fine.” Elise nodded as she didn’t want to get too involved with the Anderson Family either. “I know.” As the car drove along the road, Elise looked out the window at the hectic atmosphere of Tissote. It was obviously a familiar city, but it conveyed a different mood. The car ended up in a magnificent villa district east of Tissote, where the scenery was beautiful. The car was parked steadily in the courtyard of the innermost villa. Right after the engine was turned off, a servant came over and greeted politely, “Mr. Griffith!”
Alexander got out of the car before half-hugging Elise, then nodded slightly. He looked as he usually did, with no extra expressions on his face. “Mr. Griffith, this way please…” Elise immediately followed Alexander into the hall, where they walked through the corridor to the back yard. From a distance, she saw a figure trimming plants with a pair of scissors. “Madam, Mr. Griffith has arrived!” The woman stopped what she was doing and turned around with a smile as she looked at Alexander.
“Alex, you’re here.” Then, her gaze traveled to Elise, and her smile grew even brighter. “You must be Elise!” Surprised that she knew her name, Elise quickly called out, “Hello, Madam!” The woman set down the tool in her hand and handed it to the servant beside her. “Elise, Alex calls me Miss Vera, so you can just call me that too.” Upon that, Elise hurriedly said, “Nice to meet you, Miss Vera!” “I’ve heard that Alex has a beautiful fiancée. Now that I’m meeting you, it seems like that’s true.” “Miss Vera, you’re being too kind,” Elise remarked sheepishly, but Vera continued to tease her.
“Take off your mask and show me what the girl who has stolen Alex’s heart looks like.” Only then did Elise realize that she was still wearing a mask, so she apologized. “I’m sorry, Miss Vera. I’m too used to wearing a mask every day.” Then, Elise took off her mask and revealed her delicate face. To their surprise, Vera’s smile visibly stiffened in the next second, and her movements were disrupted. She stared at Elise in astonishment. “Y-You!” Incredulity was written all over Vera’s face, which left Elise and Alexander dumbfounded. Elise, in particular, found the look in Vera’s eyes to be a bit strange.
