Chapter 102,Coolest Girl in Town
Elise felt herself getting anxious, so she quickly changed their topic of conversation. “Linus mentionedthat there’ll be fireworks tonight. Let me bring you over to watch them.” Alexander nodded and followedbehind her as she led him onto a tiny pathway. After walking along the pathway for a while, they heardnoises coming from above them. Right after that, a spark of fire shot up into the sky before eruptingwith a loud bang.
It spread out across the sky like a large flower blooming above them. Elise couldn’t help but exclaimwhen she saw the fireworks. “It’s so beautiful!” He turned to look up at the sky. “Fireworks may bepretty, but they only last for a short moment. Yet, it only takes the fireworks one short moment to flauntthe most beautiful side of itself.”
The fireworks continued shooting up into the sky, with one bang quickly following the other. There wereall sorts of different-colored fireworks that painted the night skies. Once the fireworks ended, the skyreturned to its usual, quiet self. “It’s getting late. Let’s go back,” Elise suggested.
Alexander looked away from the skies and checked the time. “Let’s go! We should get some rest.” Afterthey got back to the castle, Elise parted ways with Alexander and headed back to her room. The maidshowed Alexander to the guest room. The next morning, Elise woke up to replace out that Alexander hadleft early in the morning.
She was rather disappointed when she first heard the news from her maid, but she quickly recollectedherself. “What about Helen? Where is she?” Elise asked. The maid responded in a polite tone, “Helen’sharvesting some grapes in the orchard. The grapes are all ripening now, so Helen thought that it’d be agood idea to bring some back to make wine.”
Elise’s eyes lit up when she heard this. “I’ll go and help her!” She then hurried off to the orchard to replaceeveryone busy harvesting grapes. She grabbed a basket for herself before going over to help them out.“These grapes look great, Helen.” Helen beamed when she saw the younger girl.
“Don’t bother, Miss Elise. Let me do the work.” Of course, Elise didn’t obey Helen’s orders. “It’s fine. Letme help you.” Helen no longer stopped Elise after she saw how determined Elise was to help her. Bothof them got their own scissors, and they started harvesting the grapes. “That guy, Mr. Griffith, whocame yesterday…
He seems pretty decent! He looks like a noble, dignified and handsome man. I think he’s not bad!”Helen commented as they worked. “He is pretty decent.” Elise agreed after hearing Helen’s praise forAlexander. Helen turned to look at Elise then. “You’re getting close to the age for marriage, Miss Elise.Perhaps you should start making some plans.”
Elise was rather embarrassed to talk about this. “What are you saying, Helen? I’m still young!” Helencouldn’t help but giggle when she saw the bashful look on Elise’s face. “I think you should try dating.However, it’s hard for someone as perfect as you to replace a man who matches your standards, MissElise.
Only someone as handsome and outstanding as Mr. Griffith could be a good match.” Elise quickly heldher hand up. “You can talk about me all you wish, but don’t drag him into this, Helen.” “I was justmaking an offhand comment. But I do think he’s a decent guy, Miss Elise,” Helen uttered.
Elise eyed the woman speechlessly. It looks like I’m never going to hear the end of this. “Regardless, Ithink you should bring a guy home the next time you’re here, Miss Elise.” This time, Helen spoke in afirm and serious manner while she stroked Elise’s hair. The older woman’s eyes were filled withanticipation.
Elise understood Helen’s intentions, so she quickly comforted and reassured her. “Okay! Don’t worry,Helen. I’ll make sure to bring a boyfriend over the next time I’m here.” Helen spread her lips into apleasant grin when she heard Elise’s words. “We’ll be waiting for your good news, then.”
After harvesting the grapes, the maids brought all of the baskets into the manor. “I’m leaving tomorrow,Helen. I don’t know when I’ll be coming back again,” Elise uttered. Helen had a smile on her facebefore that, but the smile faded once she heard Elise. “You just came back! Are you leaving already?
Can’t you stay for a few more days?” Elise gave Helen an apologetic look. “I have other matters tohandle here this time, so I can’t stay for long. When I come back next round, I’ll make sure to spendmore time with both you and Linus.” Helen’s spirits were utterly dampened at that point, and she turnedto address Elise in a gloomy voice.
“Miss Elise, this manor belongs to you, and Linus and I are merely here to care for it temporarily. You’llhave to take over someday.” Elise wrapped an arm around Helen’s shoulder. “I know, I know. I’mthankful for all the help you and Linus have given me.
I’m afraid I’ll have to continue troubling you guys for a while.” Helen knew that she didn’t have thepower to stop Elise from leaving, so she no longer said anything else.
The next morning, Elise left the manor. Jamie was already at the location of the international race, andElise had to make her way there. … The annual French Grand Prix was about to begin. This was awidely anticipated race by racers all over the world, and it was one of the largest races in the industry.
Each racer represented their own country, and most of the winners of this international race often shotto fame once they won a title. They would become famous on a global scale. The international racewas held in a stadium in Paris that could fit up to 50,000 people. All of the spectators were fromdifferent countries, but they all had one thing in common—their love for race cars.
Elise and Jamie brought their tickets to the entrance. They both had tickets for Zone A, and Jamiequickly called for Elise once he found nice spots. “Over here, Boss!” Both of them sat close to eachother as the rest of the spectators swarmed into the stadium. Soon enough, all the seats around themwere taken.
The large stadium was extremely packed and lively. “Today’s just the preliminary round, Boss. Theseeded player that we had our eyes on—the one from Germany—will be here today. However, I heardthat there’s also a racer from Cittadel who registered this year.
Apparently, his skills aren’t that great, and he might not even get past the preliminaries,” Jamie said.Elise pressed her lips together. “Don’t worry. The competitors from Cittadel usually only reveal their fullpotential at the end. Who knows what will happen? Let’s just watch the race.” The race officially beganat 7.00PM.
The theme song of the race played through the speakers, and the crowd cheered excitedly when theyheard the song. Elise felt as if their excitement was contagious—a smile formed on her face as shewatched the crowd. She had enjoyed racing ever since she was young, and she loved speeding.
Back then, she somehow got the opportunity to register for an international competition while she wasa transfer student in France. However, she hadn’t expected herself to perform so well—she won firstplace that year. Yet, the rules in her school prohibited her from joining racing activities.
After they threatened to expel her, she no longer joined any public racing competitions. At most, shewould have some friendly matches with her peers. “Woah! Number 7 is doing well! I knew he wasgood!” Jamie cried excitedly. Number 7 was the seeded player that Jamie had been doing his researchon.
After the first group completed their races, Number 7 was announced as the first place. “Boss, I thinkhe’s going to win the championship! Even if he doesn’t, I’m sure he’ll get top 3,” Jamie cried. Elise
didn’t agree to this.
“It’s too early for you to jump to conclusions. This is just the first group of racers—there are others whohaven’t gotten to race yet. I have a feeling that this is going to be an interesting match.”
