,Coolest Girl in Town
Jamie explained, “Not everyone invited on the namelist will attend. As Alexander is rather well-known in
the racing industry, it’s normal for us to invite him. What’s wrong, Boss? Don’t you want to compete with
him?” Elise had no qualms to do so, but she was only worried that Alexander would recognize her. If
that happens, how should I explain myself? “Are you able to obtain the list of people who have
confirmed that they are participating?” she asked. After looking at the list, Jamie replied, “I can’t give a
confirmed answer now. We will only know on the day of the competition itself. However, Alexander
seems to be quite busy with his company, so I assume that he doesn’t have time to join competitions
like these.” What he said made sense to Elise as well. As long as she did not run into Alexander, she
was willing to give it a shot. She would treat it as helping the kids at the children’s home. “Alright, then.
Please help to reply to the organizer that I’ve confirmed participating in the competition.
Don’t forget to keep it a secret.” “Okay. Don’t worry, Boss. I know what to do.” Even though Jamie had
discreetly done as told, the news that Sue was going to participate in the current racing competition still
leaked out. Everyone wondered whether it was deliberately done to increase the competition’s
popularity or to make it more impressive. Nevertheless, once news of her participation spread in the
racing industry, a rather huge storm broke out in the industry and caused those racers who initially
planned to be bystanders to register for the race as well.
After all, it was a good opportunity to compete with the internationally renowned racer, Sue, and they
didn’t want to miss the chance. “Alexander, breaking news! There’s breaking news!” A breathless
Danny quickly located Alexander. “Sue is going to participate in the national racing competition this
time!” As soon as Alexander heard this, he immediately stopped what he was doing and looked at
Danny while asking again, “What did you just say? Sue is participating in the racing competition this
time?” In response, Danny nodded profusely.
“I just received the news and it has already spread throughout the entire industry.” Alexander couldn’t
help but be tempted by this piece of news. He calmed down before saying, “Help me reply to the
organizers that I’ll be joining as well.” Danny was delighted to hear this. “Sure thing, Alexander. I’ll send
an email to the organizer right now. However, I have a secret question for you—are you there for the
competition or just for Sue?” The moment Alexander heard the question, he couldn’t help but recall the
expression in Sue’s eyes when she turned to look at him three years ago.
It was a simple gaze, yet it was forever etched in his mind. Now that she was returning to the industry,
he would never miss such a good opportunity. When Danny was met with silence, he automatically
understood what Alexander’s answer was. “Aha! I bet you are there for Sue. To be honest, I wonder
how attractive she is to make you remember her for the past three years! Alexander, you are a weird
fellow, though. Why do you like people who have hidden identities? It’s the same with the singer you
fancy, H—she is just as mysterious. Sue is the next one.
Even though she has participated in many international racing competitions, there’s no report on her
personal life whatsoever. Even if we resort to special techniques, we still can’t locate any information
about her. Both of them are weirdos, but apparently they are your cup of tea, Alexander.” As Danny
mumbled his words, Alexander wasn’t in the mood to listen and instead said, “Also, help me to book a
flight ticket as soon as possible.” Danny pursed his lips. “Alright, got it. I’ll ask Cameron to book it later.”
With that, he retreated. However, an obvious excitement was shown on Alexander’s face.
Sue, it’s been so long. Are you finally returning to the racing arena? … Although the racing industry had
been developing locally, it was the first time a national competition at this scale was organized. On top
of that, the organizer even managed to successfully invite important guests like Sue and Alexander. It
was two days before the competition when many racers, famous and unknown, arrived in Tissote from
all corners of the country.
Elise swapped her public look with that of her original appearance and complimented it with a pair of
sunglasses on her head. After handing over the boarding pass, she boarded the plane. “Miss, would
you like a glass of juice or coffee?” the flight attendant in the business class asked. “Juice, I suppose,”
Elise casually replied. Upon hearing her reply, the air stewardess passed a glass of juice to Elise, who
accepted it before asking, “How long do we have until we arrive at Tissote?” “If there are no
interferences from the air traffic control center, we will be landing in about an hour.”
Elise thanked her before she took a sip of the juice. Unbeknownst to her, Alexander, who was seated a
row in front of her, thought that her voice sounded exceptionally familiar. He was obviously surprised
when he turned and saw her before greeting, “Miss Joy, I didn’t expect to meet you here.” His voice
caused her to choke on the juice even before she could swallow it. As a result, she started to cough
violently, but she was relieved that he only recognized her as Joy and didn’t discover anything else.
“You are…” Elise said pretentiously before she suddenly remembered something.
“Mr. Griffith.” Alexander gave a slight nod. Although Joy gave him a sense of familiarity, he didn’t recall
seeing her elsewhere apart from their only encounter in France. With a frown, asked, “When did you
return, Miss Joy?” Umm… She smiled and replied, “Not long ago. Where are you going?” He replied,
“Our destination should be the same.” Elise looked like she thought of something. Could it be that he is
going to Tissote because of the racing competition? Even though it was still just her speculation, she
continued to ask, “Are you on a business trip to Tissote?”
If an average person asked him this, he would’ve nodded in response. However, he was unsure why he
didn’t hide his true reason from Joy, a person whom he had just met twice. “I’m participating in a
competition that’s held in the city. What about you?” Of course, Elise could not tell him that she was
going to the same competition as well, so she simply found an excuse. “I’m going to Tissote to visit an
old friend.” They casually chatted with each other until the airplane landed in Tissote. Then, they
disembarked from the plane one after another and out of courtesy, Alexander asked, “My driver will be
here soon.
Do you need me to give you a ride, Miss Sinclair?” She quickly rejected him. “It’s alright, Mr. Griffith. I’ll
see you around if fate allows us to do so.” With that, she quickly turned to walk in the opposite direction
as him. As he observed her leaving figure, Alexander couldn’t help twitching his lips into a smile.
Meanwhile, he also thought that Joy was quite an interesting woman. After all, it was the first time that
a woman avoided him like he was a cobra.
He retracted his gaze and walked toward the lobby where his driver was already waiting for him. As
soon as the car that picked Alexander left, Elise gingerly walked out and called Jamie on his cell.
“Jamie, I’m already here. Send the hotel’s location to me so that I can head over right now.”
“Sure thing, Boss. By the way, I forgot to inform you that I looked into Alexander’s flight information. He
has already flown to Tissote and it seems that he is on the same plane as you.” She hummed in
agreement before she replied, “I already met him.”
