Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 478

Chapter 478 Are You Trying to Be Annoying or Pleasing?

Throughout the entire auction, Elise only bid for that piece of ore. She did that not because there were no better gems, but she just did not want to go up against Kenneth, the scheming man again.

She reckoned this man, who controlled the pulse of the city’s economy, might have set up more traps for her. As such, she could only restrain her temperament lest Kenneth seized another chance.

However, Elise was distressed as she was not able to act as she pleased. At this thought, she couldn’t help shooting a fierce glare at Kenneth when she saw him stand up at the end of the event.

Perceiving the sharp glare from the opposite side, Kenneth instinctively glanced in that direction and was innocently stunned upon seeing Elise’s fierce look. What?

After walking out of the private room, Kenneth did not leave immediately but stayed at the entrance.

Elise bumped into Kenneth the moment she came out, and her beautiful eyes were filled with murderous intentions at once.

“Why are you staring at me like this, Miss Sinclair?” Kenneth asked with a half-smile.

“How else should I look at you then?” Elise continued with a straight face, “A gentleman would not steal the apple of someone else’s eye.”

Kenneth looked down and smiled faintly while Elise was completely pissed off.

He’s already at this age. Don’t tell me he thinks he looks handsome by smiling like this!

“Why don’t you understand it as I’m doing so to please you?” Kenneth blurted suddenly.

“Because I’m already engaged, and I don’t need anyone besides my fiancé to please me. If there’s anyone who does, I’ll deem him as an idiot,” Elise retorted with a strong attitude.

An idiot?

Should I be happy or angry?

Kenneth inhaled deeply in resignation while lifting his brows and recklessly eyed Elise up.

“Good job, Elise!”

Just then, Danny walked up and clapped in front of Kenneth.

Kenneth seemed to have thought of something. Then, he closed his eyes with a sullen look and walked toward the staircase.

When the shrewd woman who was following behind Kenneth walked past Elise, Elise couldn’t help glancing at her.

Right at that moment, Kenneth paused out of the blue and turned around. Coincidentally, his eyes met hers.

At that moment, the corner of Elise’s mouth twitched as she felt awkward. Thereafter, Kenneth teased her with a cunning and smug smile. “So you can’t bear to see me leave?”

“Uhmm… You’ve misunderstood…” Elise attempted to explain.

“You don’t have to explain. I understand what’s going on. Don’t worry, we’ll meet again soon.”

After saying this ambiguous statement, Kenneth directly walked downstairs without giving Elise a chance to finish her sentence.

With that, Elise was rendered speechless as she thought that the majority of men were narcissistic and snobbish no matter how well-educated they were.

But to give that more thought, Alexander did not seem to have this problem. Nonetheless, he was extreme on another level—he overly distanced himself from both men and women.

Elise’s mood finally lightened up as she thought of Alexander. But following that, she started worrying about him as she wondered how things were at his end.

And so, she took out her phone and sent Alexander a message on WhatsApp. ‘Have you finished your work?’

On the other hand, Kenneth’s phone rang the moment he got into the car.

He took out the phone and wore a sweet smile immediately when he saw the notification.

The woman beside Kenneth cast a glance at him while confusion flashed through her eyes.
