,Coolest Girl in Town
Friend? Obviously, Quentin didn’t believe what Elise had said since the man was a young lad in his
early 20s. He couldn’t help but ask, “Tell me the truth, Ellie—is he the boyfriend you talked about?”
Elise quickly explained, “You’re overthinking it, Papa. He’s just a friend of mine.” Seeing how serious
Elise looked, Quentin believed her somewhat. He then ordered the bodyguard, “Go and bring him
here.” “Yes, sir.” With that, Jamie was brought in by the bodyguard. At the sight of Elise, he immediately
trotted up to her with a look of worry. “Are you all right, Boss?” “I’m fine. Come.
I’ll introduce you to my godfather.” Jamie was still confused upon hearing this. He then turned to look at
Quentin, and a glance was all it took for him to find that the man looked very familiar. He felt like he had
seen him somewhere before. “Hello, sir,” he immediately greeted. Then, his face showed a look of
surprise, as if he had recalled something. “Y-Y-You’re… the, uh…” He was so thrilled that he couldn’t
say anything for a long time. Elise patted him on the shoulder. What a wimp, she thought. “Boss, h-he’s
Quentin Fassbender, the richest man on earth who topped the Forbes’ list of the world’s richest
billionaires, isn’t he?”
Jamie asked excitedly. “Uh-huh,” Elise responded softly. Jamie became even more excited as he
hurriedly stepped forward and extended his hand. “Nice to meet you, sir. I’m Jamie Keller. I didn’t
expect to actually meet you one day. It’s such a great honor.” Quentin was amused by Jamie’s series of
actions. This young lad’s quite interesting, he thought. “You’re a friend of Ellie’s?” Jamie nodded
repeatedly before adding, “Actually, I’m her lackey. She’s my boss.” Quentin turned to look at Elise with
a slightly raised eyebrow. “So our Elise is also a boss now, huh? That’s pretty good.
At least you didn’t make me look bad.” “Jamie only barged in out of concern for my safety, Papa,” Elise
explained. Quentin reassured her with a smile, “It’s fine. This young lad looks decent. Please stay by
Ellie’s side and take good care of her on my behalf in the future.” Jamie nodded vigorously. “Please
rest assured, sir. I’ll definitely take good care of her.” “Good to hear. Join me for a meal later, Ellie,”
Quentin said as he took Elise into the mansion. Then, he seemed to think of something and suggested,
“Ellie, since you have a boyfriend, it’s time that you bring him over for me to take a look at him.”
“Uh… How about we put this off until later, Papa?” Elise was at a loss for what to do. Where am I
supposed to get a boyfriend on such short notice? “No, that won’t do. I think now’s the best time to do
that, so let’s do that today. Just bring him over later.” “But—” Elise still wanted to say something.
However, Quentin seemed to have seen through her. He leaned over to her and whispered, “Ellie, just
tell me right away if you really don’t have a boyfriend.
I won’t blame you for that. Besides, Owen’s a really nice guy, and you should believe in my judgment.
You’re my daughter, so there’s no way I’ll do you harm.” Elise gritted her teeth before she promptly
replied, “Papa, I’ll bring him over to see you later. As for Mr. Morgan, I think we’d better be friends.” Her
words were pretty straightforward. Seeing that she still insisted on claiming to be in a relationship,
Quentin couldn’t help but wonder if she really had a boyfriend. Still, it’s nothing to worry about. So what
if she does have a boyfriend? Everything is subject to change as long as she’s still unmarried.
Moreover, even a married couple can get divorced these days if they find their marriage to be an ill-
suited match, so I’ve never worried about such a problem, he thought. “Okay, it’s settled then. Bring
him over tonight so that I can get a good look at him.” Elise had no choice but to say yes. Inwardly,
though, she was in a fret. Where could I find a boyfriend? She thought of the Griffith siblings. Danny’s
definitely out of the question. He’s not mature enough, so Papa may frighten him with just a few casual
remarks. Brendan is also out of the question; he’s too busy since he spends almost every single day in
his design studio.
Besides, he and I aren’t that close yet. Jack, on the other hand, is okay, but how should I ask him for
help? As soon as Elise and Jamie came out of the villa, Jamie went up to her. “Since when have you
been in a relationship, Boss? Why didn’t I know about it?” Elise quickly covered his mouth and signaled
him to stop talking about it. Taking the hint at once, Jamie immediately shook Elise’s hand off and said,
“Boss, did you—” Elise silenced him with a look before he could finish his sentence.
Jamie nodded vigorously. “I got it, Boss. Let’s go back first.” Jamie then drove Elise home. On their way
back, he asked, “Boss, are you gonna have someone pose as your boyfriend?” “Uh-huh,” Elise
responded somewhat irritably at the mention of this. Jamie then asked, “And who’s the lucky guy
you’ve chosen?” Elise pursed her lips. “What do you think of Jack?” Jamie was naturally surprised to
hear Jack’s name. “So you like men of his sort, Boss?”
Elise replied, “He’s a suitable candidate. It’s just that I have no idea how to talk to him about it.” Jamie
shook his head, though. “I don’t think Jack’s the right man to do this, Boss. You’re looking for someone
to pose as your boyfriend, so I think someone like Alexander is probably more suitable,” he suggested
in all sincerity. However, Elise backed off when she heard Alexander’s name, mainly because she felt
guilty and thus passed him over in her mind right away. “Just forget about him.”
Jamie was puzzled. “Why, Boss? He’s the Griffith Family’s eldest son, as well as the family’s best heir.
With his reputation in the business world, he can definitely win Mr. Fassbender over. Besides, I think
he’s the only one who’s good enough for you, Boss.” Elise hemmed and hawed before she spoke.
“Forget it. Jack’s more suitable, after all.” At the very least, she thought of Jack as a friend. But for
Alexander, she couldn’t; she couldn’t see him as just a friend.
“Alright! Whatever you say. So are we gonna go to Jack right now?” Elise checked the time and said,
“I’ll call him first and see whether he’s free tonight.” As she spoke, she took out her cell phone and
called Jack. In the meantime, Jack was pacing around in the hospital lobby with his body muffled up
from head to toe. When he took the elevator and reached the ward, Ronald was still there. Ronald
asked, “Why are you here, Jack?
Didn’t I tell you to leave this to me?” Jack frowned slightly. “I’m worried. How’s she? Is she okay?”
Ronald immediately answered, “She’s okay. It’s just a slight concussion. She’ll be fine after a few days’
rest.” Jack let out a sigh of relief. “I’ll check on her and apologize while I’m at it,” he said as he opened
the door to the ward. Meanwhile, Mikayla was already awake for quite some time, though she didn’t
know it was Jack who had knocked her over.
She was only put on an intravenous drip as instructed by the doctor. Bored stiff, she was watching
Jack’s drama on her cell phone. He looks so dashing! She was acting all fangirl while staring at Jack—
her Prince Charming—on her phone’s screen. Just then, the door to her ward was opened, and a
heavily disguised man walked in, which really frightened her. “Who are you?”
