Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 692

Chapter 692 It Must Be Settled

In the evening, Elliot was waiting at the entrance of a high-end restaurant in the city.

Soon, a taxi slowly stopped in front of him. Finally, the door opened, and Stephanie got out of the car.

“Miss Stephanie, you’re here.” In an instant, Elliot turned into a fool and greeted her.

Stephanie frowned in confusion when she saw him. “You’re… Elliot. Elliot Howard?”

“Yes, that’s me.” Elliot scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.

“Your look today is rather unique.” Stephanie smiled awkwardly.

Elliot was younger than Stephanie. The last time they met, he was dressed in trendy outfits. His youthful look made him recognizable. However, he styled his hair meticulously and wore a formal outfit today. Thus, Stephanie did not recognize him immediately.

Elliot smiled shyly because he thought the other party was really astonished by him.

“Where’s Elise?” Stephanie changed the subject.

“Oh, she’s on her way. She should be here soon, so let’s go in first.” Elliot led Stephanie inside in a gentleman-like manner.

It was the first time that he was alone with the girl he fancied. Therefore, it was only natural for Elliot to be excited yet reserved.

Actually, he had asked Stephanie out many times in private. However, she always had reasons to reject him. Therefore, he thought of a way. He invited Stephanie in the name of Elise, and as expected, she was willing to come.

Elise simply acted as a wingman, so it did not matter much if she came a bit later.

Elliot was thoughtful and considerate to Stephanie in the private room; he was also attentive to her needs.

On the contrary, Stephanie kept maintaining the smile that made her look polite enough. But unfortunately, she also constantly said thank you and looked absent-minded.

Elliot found a few topics to discuss, but her attitude was very perfunctory.

Inevitably, even someone as optimistic as him would feel a little discouraged.

“Could it be that you don’t want to have this meal with me at all if Boss doesn’t come?” Elliot lowered his head solemnly.

Stephanie quickly apologized to him when she heard that, saying, “I’m sorry. I’m just slow in opening up to others. I’ll talk less if I stay around people I don’t know well. I don’t mean to target anyone.”

“I see.” Elliot naively believed her, and the good-natured smile reappeared on his face.

After that, he snapped his fingers and shouted at the door, “Come in.”

When his voice fell, the private room door was pushed open from the outside. The server entered with a bouquet of flowers and a luxury bag packaging.

Then, Elliot stepped forward and took the items from the server. Then, he turned around, handed the flower to Stephanie, and smiled shyly. “For you, Miss Stephanie.”

Stephanie took the flowers and pretended to be surprised. Then, she said flatly, “WOW, it’s beautiful. Thank you.”

“And this.” Elliot also handed over the carefully selected limited edition bag.

“This is too valuable. I can’t accept this.” Since Stephanie did not lack such items, she acted very rationally.

“Just accept it.” Elliot insisted and continued. “There are no girls in my house. So it’ll be a waste if I bring them back, right?”

Since Elliot had said so, Stephanie could only reluctantly accept.

As she looked at the delicate roses and the expensive designer bag in her arms, she teased helplessly, “Mr. Elliot, are you always this generous to each and every new friend of yours?”

“I’m only this generous with you!” he blurted out, only to realize that he spoke from his heart. At once, his face blushed in embarrassment.

It was natural for youngsters to begin to think of love, and Stephanie undoubtedly saw through Elliot’s thoughts. Hence, she deliberately made fun of him. “Why did you think of giving me these?”
