Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 78

Chapter 78 See You Again Someday,Coolest Girl in Town 

After his reminder, Elise realized that she was indeed a little hungry. Hence, she took the initiative to say, “I know that there’s a food street here. Let me take you around.” Alexander murmured in agreement and followed Elise to the food street in Aris. After about a twenty-minute drive, they arrived at Aris’ landmark commercial street. The place included a combination of food and shopping, so it was suitable for people to go shop and enjoy food at the same time.

 

 
 

“What do you want to eat?” Elise asked, then recommended several local snacks. “The shrimp gnocchi, skewers, casserole, and barbecue meat are all pretty good. Would you like to try them?” Alexander answered, “Let’s have some casserole.” However, Elise hesitated. “Their casserole is known for being spicy. Can you handle it?” “Yes. Let’s give it a try.” So, Elise took out her mobile phone and searched for the nearest casserole restaurant.

When she walked in with Alexander, the Arisians gave them a warm welcome and led them to the private room on the second floor. “What ingredients would you like in the casserole?” Elise asked while referring to the menu. She listed, “Ground beef, shrimp, duck, portobello mushroom…”

Alexander also said, “Ground beef, shrimp, duck, portobello mushroom…” The two of them spoke at the same time, and they even mentioned the four same ingredients in unison. Elise looked up at Alexander, who remarked in surprise, “Miss Sare, I didn’t expect that you and I would have the same preferences.”

 

Elise exclaimed, “I know, right! It’s such a coincidence.” In the end, the two of them ordered two servings of casserole made from those four ingredients. Elise loved casseroles very much, and she had since she was a child. The casseroles in Aris were simply the best, so Elise enjoyed it very much.

 

“Do you want anything to drink? The specialty here is the soy milk,” Elise said, but Alexander didn’t like soy milk. “I’ll have a can of Coke.” Without even thinking, Elise rebutted, “Carbonated drinks aren’t healthy. Let’s change it. Why don’t we get you fruit juice instead?” But, Alexander was persistent. “Casserole and Coke is the ultimate combination.” Elise couldn’t out-talk him, so she gave up and ordered a cup of soy milk and a can of Coke.

While the two of them were happily enjoying their meal, two figures appeared on the street, one chasing after the other while the latter shouted, “Catch the thief!” When Elise heard the noise, she subconsciously looked out the window and saw a fair-skinned man chasing a tan-skinned foreigner while yelling, “Catch the thief!”

 

However, the people around them were all unbothered, and not a single person took the initiative to help. It was as if no one could hear them. The tan-skinned man was heading their way, so Elise instinctively got up, but Alexander reached out and held her down by her shoulder. Shooting her a look, he jumped over the railing in front of the window and landed firmly on the ground. It happened so quickly that Elise didn’t even have time to react as she watched Alexander stride forward in just a few steps before subduing the thief.

Elise hastily ran down but was stopped by the waiter. In a rush, she took out her purse and handed over a stack of cash; only then did the waiter let her go. When she walked out, the crowd had already surrounded the thief that Alexander caught. The fair-skinned man caught up and managed between breaths, “You wretched thief.

 
 

How dare you steal from me!” The man cursed, then unmercifully extended his foot before kicking the foreigner. Even so, the man held on tightly to his wallet, unwilling to let go. “Thank you for your help, kind sir. I’ve called the police, and I believe they’ll be here soon.” The fair-skinned man spoke to Alexander in their local slang, but Alexander replied in English, “I’m Cittadelian!”

After briefly scanning through the business card, Alexander was surprised. “You’re from Northcliff!” In fact, he was the successor of the famous Hayes Enterprise in Northcliff. This is such a small world! Frederick Hayes gave a brief explanation. “My family is doing business in Northcliff, so I’m getting by all right.
