Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 779

Chapter 779 Aren’t You Going to Visit Your Fiancée?

“Mr. Joslin.” Jamie greeted Benjamin politely. “I wish you a long life full of happiness and fortune.”

Benjamin turned around and took a closer look at Jamie’s face, which he tried but failed to place. “And who might you be?”

“I’m Keller Group’s general manager, Jamie Keller. It is my honor to stand a chance to celebrate your birthday with you.” Jamie reacted humbly, thinking he should take the moral high ground in response to the older man’s forgetfulness. I have a bigger fish to fry, so I must see past this minor frustration. Otherwise, how am I supposed to run such a huge company?

“Grandpa.” Elise suddenly showed up at that moment. When Jamie saw her, he instantly understood why he was invited to Benjamin’s birthday feast. Then, the two of them greeted each other by exchanging eye contact.

“Do you guys know each other?” Benjamin skeptically looked at Jamie, suspecting that he was his grandson-in-law and that ‘Anastasia’ had been hiding from him.

“Didn’t I tell you I’m currently writing a new novel? This man is my new employer, Jamie Keller, and he is a nice guy,” Elise explained.

“Your new employer?” Benjamin was seen with a haughty look on his face as he continued to fix his gaze on Jamie. After sizing Jamie up, he said something that would leave the others stunned the next second. “Can I be one of Keller Group’s shareholders if I’m paying your company a capital sum of one billion?”

“Excuse me?” Jamie was rendered speechless, wondering how a writer could be so well off.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Keller. My grandfather is just kidding.” Elise then gently pulled Benjamin’s sleeve. “Keep a low profile, would you, Grandpa?”

“Why didn’t you talk to me before you took on the job? Your uncles could have just started a company for you to publish your novels.” Benjamin expressed his helplessness, looking askance at Jamie in an unhappy manner. “If you work for someone from our family, you could write as you please without anyone breathing down your neck. After all, it would break my heart if some heartless employer took advantage of you.”

In that instant, Jamie immediately caught on to the entire situation, realizing that Benjamin was actually just picking at him. Then, he raised his eyebrows and awkwardly chuckled. “You’re funny, Mr. Joslin.” Wow, I didn’t know her grandfather was such a badass. It looks like she is out of my league.

In the meantime, Benjamin decided to ease up on Jamie, thinking he wouldn’t be difficult for his granddaughter to get along with. “Give us your name card. Her uncles will approach you to discuss the cooperation details soon.”

“Alright.” Jamie agreed humbly, secretly winking at ‘Anastasia’ without Benjamin noticing it to thank her for her kindness.

On the other hand, Adelpha, who happened to emerge from the corner, saw Jamie winking at ‘Anastasia’. Despite her jealousy and frustration, there was nothing she could do because she was afraid of what Jamie would do with the voice recording he had threatened her with earlier. Nevertheless, she simply couldn’t stand seeing the cocky look on Elise’s face as she paced back and forth restlessly. Then, an idea sprang to her mind while she reached for her phone and dialed a number. “It’s me. Anastasia is back, so aren’t you going to visit your fiancée?”

…

As the celebration went on, Benjamin continued to chat with Elise non-stop. “If it were up to me, I’d say it’s better for you to move away from the White Family. I’ll build you a new home so you won’t have to live with those idiotic b*stards anymore.”

“I know you’re doing this for my own good, Grandpa, but they’re going to own my mother’s house once I move out of there. I promise that I’ll move out, but not before I take care of some matters.” Elise didn’t reject Benjamin’s offer outright.

Benjamin smiled without saying anything else. Finally, my granddaughter has grown up. At that moment, his train of thought was suddenly interrupted by a man’s voice.

“Annie.”

He looked up and shifted his gaze to the direction of the source of the voice, knitting his eyebrows the moment he saw who it was. Damn! It’s this b*stard again! As he was about to send the guards to stop the man, he was worried that ‘Anastasia’ wouldn’t want to leave his side. Therefore, he sent his guards away from the checkpoint, only to be disappointed when he saw how the unwanted visitor took advantage of that opportunity.
