Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 856

Chapter 856 An Egregious Flirt

Danny’s head instantly became clearer and he cheered happily. “That makes sense. Sure enough, it takes one woman to know another woman. I know what I should do now. The weather is chilly at night, so quickly go back and sleep. It is fine if you go to work a little late tomorrow.”

“I am alright. You, on the other hand, have had a lot to drink. I will go upstairs after you get into your ride.” “Okay then. See you tomorrow.” “See you.”

Elated that she pointed out a direction for him, Danny finally shakily turned around and threw himself into the taxi. The driver proceeded to start the engine and drive into the dark of the night.

As a gush of cold wind blew, Ariel subconsciously tugged on the jacket on her body. This was the jacket Danny had put on her when she got out of the car earlier. She had forgotten to return it just now.

However, it was fine that she didn’t return it, as this was not the first time this kind of thing had happened. In the past seven years, Danny had grown into a mature man who was considerate to women. She had never been left out in the cold when she was beside him.

His gentleness was like a hidden vine that had twined its way into the deepest corner of her heart. Albeit quietly, it kept growing and growing during the seven years, and at some point, had consumed her entire heart.

However, she knew that her affections for him came a tad too late. They had missed each other long ago. No matter how much she was in love with him, it would all be in vain.

Ariel bitterly smiled and shook her head at the thought of this before turning around and getting into her apartment. Twenty minutes later, the taxi Danny was in came to the rowdiest street in Tissote—Bar Street.

The car came to a stop after a while. After Danny got out of the car, he paid the taxi fare, and walked into a Thai pub. He immediately saw the drunk Jamie sprawled over the counter as soon as he entered the establishment.

Walking over, he placed a hand on the sloshed man’s shoulder. “I knew you were here. Wake up.” Hearing that, Jamie slowly sat up, and only took one look at Danny with narrowed eyes before he turned back annoyed. He then took the half glass of alcohol before him and drank it all up.

Disappointed, Danny shook his head. “Have you gone crazy? Are you done putting on that tough act? Why do you pretend like you don’t care when you like her that much?”

“You don’t know sh*t!” Jamie huffed and let out a burp that smelled of alcohol. He then swung his arms in the air before finally pointing at himself. “Let me ask you—who am I?”

“You are Jamie Keller, of course. Who else can you be? Are you really off your rocker?” Danny complained, his face disdainful.

“You are the dumb one.” Squinting, he shook his head indignantly and slapped his palm on his chest while he confidently declared, “I, Jamie Keller, am not only Jamir Keller. I am a member of Dragonweiss and the key figure of SK Group. Other than having to be responsible for myself, I am also responsible for the organization. Now that Boss is gone, I have to take care of all this for her. I can’t just care for my own happiness. Do you understand me?”

“I get you. So? Am I not in the same boat as you? Even though I didn’t officially join Dragonweiss, we have been to hell and back more times than I can count all these years. What does this have to do with whether or not you accept Narissa’s feelings?” Danny spread out his hands, confusion written all over his face.

“Of course it is related!” As Jamie whined, he began to sniffle and smile wryly with tears in his eyes. “Even a person as powerful as the Boss disappeared without a trace when she was only in her twenties. Just look at how stubborn Narissa is. I will waste her whole lifetime if something happens to me. I can’t be so selfish!”

Danny’s expression softened slightly then, and he nodded understandingly. “You have good intentions.”

He came to a brief pause before continuing, “But aren’t you being too pessimistic? It is not like we will definitely get into an accident. Why don’t you just live every day like it is your last? Humans are bound to have regrets no matter the path you choose. And if that is the case, why don’t you make a decision that will make both of you happy?”

Jamie kept shaking his head at that. “The way you think is too selfish. Furthermore, this is what I promised the Boss. How can I, a man, go back on my word for my own selfish desires?”

Not knowing what else to say, Danny threw an arm over Jamie’s shoulder and lamented, “Seems like we are two peas in a pod. But I have to admit that you are an egregious flirt, whereas I am only a hopelessly sentimental man.”

“Fine! I will have another round with you tonight no matter what, my friend!”
