Chapter 113,Coolest Girl in Town

The Griffiths and Lawsons went way back. The Lawsons had two brilliant sons called Donald andDarius. They were powerful men in the political scene and the business world, making the Lawsonsone of the most prestigious families in the upper society. The birthday party was held for Donald, and itwas set on a luxurious yacht. When they arrived at the destination, there was already a group ofdistinguished guests there.

“I heard we’ll be staying on the yacht overnight. It’ll dock tomorrow afternoon, so if you want to retire forthe night, you can ask the waiter to give you the key card,” Alexander told Elise. Elise looked at thecrowd. “I see.” And they got out of the car. Alexander held his elbow out, much to Elise’s surprise. “Holdmy arm,” he said. Elise hesitated, but she eventually held his arm, and they went toward the yacht.“Alex!”

Even before they got to the yacht, Ashlyn was already waving at Alexander. Then, she came up to himquickly. “You’re finally here,” she said, as if they were close friends. “Yes. Thanks for the welcome, MissLawson,” Alexander answered indifferently. Ashlyn noticed his distant attitude, of course, but she didn’tmind. She had a big plan for the night, and the mere thought of that made her grin. She’d usually makesnarky remarks at Elise, but not today. Her plan took precedence.

“Oh, you’re here too, Miss Sinclair. I hope you’ll enjoy the night.” Elise looked at her. “Thank you.”Ashlyn noticed her holding Alexander’s arm, but she ignored that. “I’ll take you guys inside.” “Pleasedo, Miss Lawson.” Ashlyn led the way for them. “Uncle wanted it to be a quiet celebration at theresidence, but I told him to hold the party on a yacht.

It’s more fun that way, don’t you think, Miss Sinclair?” Elise blinked at her, wondering why Ashlyn wasbeing so nice today. “I bet the night view is going to be great on the yacht. You’ve thought this through.”Ashlyn’s smile broadened. “I have a special event arranged tonight, and I hope to see you there, MissSinclair.” She winked cheekily at Elise, as if she was just an innocent young lady. If it wasn’t becauseElise nearly fell for her scheme in the past, Elise would have thought she was just a naive girl.

“I’m sure it’s an interesting event. Can’t wait for it,” Elise answered politely. Ashlyn gazed at her, thegrin in her eyes twinkling. It was a huge yacht that could hold five hundred guests, and it was deckedout with entertainment facilities, a banquet hall, dining room, and guest rooms. Anyone could stay onthe yacht for a month and they still wouldn’t get bored. After they got on the yacht, Ashlyn led them tothe banquet hall.

“My uncle’s at that corner. We should go and say hi.” It was common courtesy for the guests to greetthe host, so Elise and Alexander went along. Donald was already a sixty-year-old man, but he didn’tlook a day over forty. He looked as energetic and happy as a young lad. “Hello, Donald,” Alexandergreeted him. Donald beamed when he saw Alexander. “Good to see you, Alexander. It’s been a while.You’ve grown a lot.”

“Yes, it has been years since we last met.” Donald thought highly of Alexander. Once upon a time, hewanted to match his daughter up with the lad, but alas, his daughter ended up with a pauper. It shooktheir circle, and Donald was still furious about it. After all, if he could become the Griffiths’ in-laws, it’dwork wonders for his political career. “Still as energetic as ever, my lad. Griffith Group is going strongunder your leadership, I see.

I’m sure it’ll get even better. Do come over if you’re free. The kids would love to see you. You’ve beenfriends since you were little.” “Of course, Donald,” Alexander answered. After that small talk, Alexanderand Elise went to the hall. It was packed with guests but Elise didn’t like crowds, so she let go ofAlexander’s arm. “You should socialize with the guests. I’ll get some fresh air on the deck,” shewhispered. “It’s blustery out there. Be careful.”

Elise waved at him and went outside to the deck alone. Night had fallen upon the land, and starstwinkled brightly in the heavens, basking the earth in a silvery sheen. There were only a few people onthe deck, chatting away the time. Elise stood alone at one side, leaning against the guardrail as sheenjoyed the night breeze. All of a sudden, someone popped up and tapped her shoulder, giving her ashock.

When she turned around, she was surprised to see Zachary there. “Zachary? Why are you here?”Zachary’s eyes were twinkling as he gazed at her. He didn’t want to come in the first place, but hisfamily thought it was time for him to make some connections of his own, so they took him along. Hewas bored when he came here, but to his surprise, he saw Elise in the hall. After she went to the deck,he followed along.

“Mr. Lawson is my father’s comrade. We’ve been friends for a long time now,” he explained. After apause, he continued, “Didn’t think I’d see you here. I thought it would be a boring banquet, but now Igot all interested.” Elise smiled, but she said nothing. “Did you come alone?” he asked. Elise shook herhead. “No.”

Back then, she asked Alexander to act as her boyfriend so she could refuse Zachary’s courtship. It wasa good thing that Alexander had played along, and that he was here now. Despite what Elise said,Zachary still thought she was alone. She’s just trying to look good in front of everyone. I saw hercoming onto the deck alone.

He was delighted at the thought of that, for it was the perfect opportunity for him to know Elise better.“The entrance exam is five months away. What’s your dream college?”
