Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander)
Chapter 1071

Chapter 1071 First Loves Are Meant to be Missed

"Mole? Who is it? You don't think it's me, do you?" Narissa peppered as a hint of malice laced herquirked brow.

"No, no, no, no, no. How dare I doubt your character?! You don't know this yet, do you? Raymondand Clement just got ambushed by Area X, and Alex still hasn't come around..." Danny left his wordshanging and waited for Narissa's response. He was sure the young woman would get what he wastrying to say.

If they wanted to put on a show for the outsiders, they'd need the foes, Narissa and Zephyr, to playthe lead. However, there was no conflict during this important time, so he had to come up withsomething,

Alas, Narissa didn't react dramatically as he had expected but merely nodded understandingly."Indeed, there are many things we don't know about him."

"Right? I knew you'd also suspect him!" Danny's eyes lit up. He believed the show was about tobegin.

"I did in the past,” Narissa affirmed his speculation but corrected him the next second. "However, Eland Alexander both trust him. Thus, I think we should also have a little faith in him."

It was apparent to Danny that Narissa's killer instinct was lacking that day, so he could only shrug itoff. "I get what you mean, but for everyone's safety, Zephyr has to go if another accident happens.”At that, Narissa withdrew her gaze but didn't rebut him. "You guys make the call. I'm tired, so I'mgoing to turn in now. I have to continue looking for El tomorrow, after all.”

With that, she went upstairs. She dared not stay downstairs for too long, for she feared running intoJamie.

"Looks like someone failed to make himself the rat, eh?" Ariel deliberately teased him, seeing thatDanny failed to bring about a dispute.

"Well, who knew she'd do a one-eighty so suddenly?! If it were in the past, she would've flipped outthe moment she had something on Zephyr!" Danny shrugged, feeling blameless.

"Well, it is weird,” Ariel mused while nodding in agreement. "It seems to me that she and Jamie havebeen acting strange ever since coming back from the resort. They've barely had any interactions.”"Yes, you're right!" Danny turned inexplicably excited as he smelled gossip coming. "That's exactlywhat I was trying to say! You know me so well, Honey. It's like you live in my brain!"

"Can't you use a different reference?” Ariel huffed but wasn't serious about it. At that, she mused,"Do you remember the day we were drugged? Narissa and Jamie only returned at 3.00AM. Narissawas already acting weird at the time. I guess you could say she was quite impassive. Jamie wasn'thimself either, and his clothes were buttoned weirdly. It's clear that he removed them at one point.If he had done it while he was with Narissa, she could've helped him out before helping him back tothe room. However, she pulled a grim face the entire time and became evidently distant from Jamiethe next day.”

"Are you saying Jamie was with another woman before Narissa found him? Then, wouldn't thatmean..." Danny was struck with an epiphany, and he instantly became worried

This was a serious matter of principle, and he was Exhibit A. If Jamie failed to hold the fort, then theconsequences would be bleak.

Ariel nodded grimly. He was finally on the same page as her. However, neither was willing to believetheir guess.

At that, Danny thought for a moment and said, “I think we should be more optimistic. They're eachother's first love, after all. They won't break up so easily.”

Ariel, on the other hand, wasn't so optimistic. "Have you never heard of this saying? First loves aremeant to be missed.”

"Maverick was your first love. Do you miss him?" Danny blurted, only realizing what he had just saidright after thinking aloud. At that, he gave himself a couple of solid slaps in the face. "Sorry, Honey. Idon't mean anything else. I just think Narissa and Jamie are a pretty good match. It'll be a shame ifthey break up.”

"You never know. Only the couple in the relationship knows if they are meant to be together.” Arielsighed, then glanced casually at the door. However, she quirked a brow as though she just sawsomething bizarre.

At that, Danny turned around, following her line of sight to replace Jamie standing by the door. Theman had pretty terrible dark circles, and his cheeks and chin were covered in stubble. As if thatwasn't bad enough, his eyes were dull, and his face was sunken. He was practically a feeble hobo."Dude, what the f*ck?!" Danny leaned back exaggeratedly. "Who are you?!"

"Your better-looking brother from another mother.” Jamie shuffled into the living room like azombie, then slumped onto the couch before pouring himself a glass of water and chugging it."Are you sure you haven't just returned from the edge of the world instead of having just gone outto look for Elise?" Danny exclaimed with shock. He thought the man was literally sticks and bones,and he didn't look sane either.

"No," Jamie answered absent-mindedly. "I just didn't want to stop. Once I stop, I'll have to facemany things I don't want to.”

At that, Danny and Ariel exchanged a glance. No doubt their guess was pretty solid.

"Ahem," Danny cleared his throat, sat beside Jamie, and leaned closer to him, whispering, "Dude, behonest with me. Have you slipped up back at the mountain?”

"I didn't!" yelled Jamie as he shot right to his feet. "I will never betray Narissa! Nothing happenedthat day! We're going to be okay!"

Danny was rendered stunned by Jamie's reaction, and it took him a moment to come to himself.With that, he stood up and pushed Jamie back onto the couch. "Okay, okay, you didn't. We're justchecking in because we're worried about you two. You don't have to be so worked up.”

"Am I?" Jamie forced a hint of a smile, pretending to be relaxed. "I'm not worked up at all. Eitherway, I will never love anyone else other than Narissa. We'll live a blessed married life. We definitelywill."

Who knew if he said his latter words to Danny or himself?

"You two are the sweetest couple in the world. We don't need any more PDAs from you two.” Dannywas fooled just like that. Ariel, on the other hand, smelled something fishy, but she kept quiet aboutit for now.

"By the way..." Danny decided to be mischievous again, using Zephyr to irritate him. "I think Docmight be a mole. What do you think?"

Worried that the question would divert back to Narissa if the conversation dragged on, Jamieagreed right off the bat, saying profoundly, "We should keep a lookout. After all, who can you trustif you can't even trust yourself sometimes?"

Danny was dumbfounded. What is up with these two?! Who are they, and what have they done toNarissa and Jamie?!

"Alright, I just came back to check in on things. Since Boss is still out there, I have to keep looking."Jamie let out a murky breath at that, then shot up to his feet again. However, he fell back downbefore standing still, landing right into Danny's arms coincidentally.

"Hey, Jamie! Jamie! Wake up! Dude, quit it! This isn't funny!" Danny shook the man violently, but heremained unresponsive. As such, he could only go upstairs to get Irvin.

After a brief check-up, Irvin eased their minds. "He's fine. He's just worn out from not sleeping for along time. He'll be fine after a long, solid sleep.”

"Don't tell me this b*stard hasn't slept for days..." As livid as Danny was, he felt bad for Jamie aswell.

"I wouldn't rule that out,” said Ariel. "He lost all courage to face everything the last time Elise wentmissing, and I think he also needs a confidence boost from her right now."
