Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander)
Chapter 660

Chapter 660 Shitty Future!

Tiana saw through Sebastian being clumsy at a glance and the corners of her mouth lifted in acontemptuous arc. Then, she pretended to be innocent and asked, “Did it affect your date with Micawhen I invited you out?”

At the mention of Mica, panic flashed through Sebastian's eyes, and he hurriedly explained, “Ana,don't misunderstand. I actually don’t have that kind of relationship with Mica.”

“I understand. Sebastian, you don't need to explain yourself,” Tiana said softly. “You're such a goodguy. I'm sure there are many girls who like you. Actually, I really admire Mica for being so bold.”She pursed her lips and pretended to lower her eyes shyly. Her long eyelashes moved as sheblinked, making her seem so seductive that he fell into a state of confusion.

As he furrowed his eyebrows tightly, he looked at her with some regret. Does this mean that if I hadnot pursued Mica, then she would have gotten together with me? No wonder she always smiledwhen she talked to me during the Nationwide High School Know-All Competition. It turns out thatshe has been hinting her interest in me all this while. Unfortunately, I was just too stupid and missedout on such a great match. I've really failed to live up to her wishes.

“To be honest, you're an amazing person,” he said with regret. “Mica and I are still just getting toknow each other, so we might not progress into something deeper. Perhaps I have to go throughsome setbacks before I can get together with the person who is truly destined for me.”

If Tiana is willing to wait, I will make it clear to Mica as soon as possible so that I can give her ananswer.

When Tiana saw that her lure had hooked her prey, she anxiously tried to draw a clear line in theirrelationship. “Please don't misunderstand me. I do not wish to destroy your relationship. On thecontrary, I'm sure that you and Mica will be together for a long time.” After saying that, shesuddenly sighed once more. “Perhaps, Mica is simply born with more luck than me. After all, she gottogether with you, Sebastian. Moreover, she has somebody who can provide her with a badge fromthe Calligraphy Association to enrich herself. I have nothing in comparison.”

“You can do it too!” Sebastian blurted out. It was not until the words were out of his mouth that herealized how inappropriate they were, so he quickly tried to change his words. “Actually, there aremany people who like you, Ana.” Including me.

A trace of impatience flashed through her eyes. Does this person have an idiot's brain? Can't he getthe main point after listening to what I said?

"Since you're already dating, I don't want to think about relationships anymore. I just want to replacesomething to enrich myself and pass the time. I really like calligraphy, but it's a pity that I can't get arecommendation from others. How great would it be if I also had a badge?” Although she wasspeaking wistfully, she was actually muttering in her heart, I've already made it so obvious. Heunderstands now, right?

“Do you like Mica's badge?” Sure enough, Sebastian had been fooled, but before Tiana couldconfirm, he voluntarily rushed to please her. “I'll ask Mica for the badge for you.”

“That... can't be good...” She pretended to be reserved.

“There's nothing good or bad about it. In any case, Mica mentioned that she was just borrowing itto use, anyway. So, I'll spend a little more time with her later and lend you the badge to use first,” hesaid firmly.

“Alright then. I'll have to trouble you for that, Sebastian,” she said affectionately.

“It's no trouble at all.” He scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Sebastian! Aren't you amazing! You even got hold of the school beauty!”

Then, one of his classmates walked by and deliberately made fun of them. This exchange greatlysatisfied Sebastian's vanity and made him even more determined to clear the air between him andMica. Otherwise, Tiana would be sad if she was forced to wait for too long.

Now that Elise was getting more popular, the endorsements she received had weakened one’s handfrom sorting through them. Winona had no choice but to bring her work to school where she foundan empty classroom to have a face-to-face discussion with Elise. Be that as it may, the so-calleddiscussion was just Elise nodding or shaking her head. The jobs that received a nod were jobs thatshe accepted while they passed on the jobs that received a shake of her head.

One hour passed. The documents were still piled high like a mountain on the table with no end insight.

Elise suddenly felt a sense of irritation that came from nowhere. Leaning against the table, shelooked at Winona and changed the topic.

“Miss Jennings, you are buried in work every single day. Don't you get annoyed? Don't you want tomeet your boyfriend?”

“My boyfriend? If you didn't mention him, I would have already forgotten that he existed.” Winonapushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose without even looking up. “Working people have notime for love. Besides, he has recently accepted several commercial appearances. He is probably sobusy that his eyes are spinning, like me. So, where would we replace the time to go on a date?”

“No matter how busy you are, you should have the time for a phone call or a video call every day,”Elise said meaningfully.

"Elise, we are different from you. You are so amazing and talented, but we are just ordinary people.If we want to gain a foothold in this cruel society, then when else are we supposed to work hard, ifnot now? As long as Craig has me in his heart, it doesn’t matter whether we chat or call each otherevery day,” Winona explained seriously.

Elise opened her mouth, trying to guide Winona into considering some other factors. At thatmoment, a knock sounded on the door behind her. Knock. Knock.

The two turned around and saw Jack walking in with a cake.

“Your afternoon tea is here!” he said while walking in. “Beautiful ladies, you should take a quickbreak.”

Elise turned and mysteriously whispered something in Winona's ear. “Look. If you really want to seesomebody, you will definitely replace a way to do it.”

Winona looked innocent. “Okay. Okay. Mr. Jack is so nice to you!”

Elise was confused. “Was that what I was trying to say?”

“Isn't it? Oh, don't be bothered by such minor details.” Winona patted Elise on the arm. Then, shestood up and naturally took the two slices of cake from Jake. “Thank you, Mr. Jack. Which one issweeter?”

“The one on your left,” he replied gently.

"Oh! Hehe...” Winona handed the plate in her right hand over to Elise. She took the sweeter portionand sat down further away to give them space.

Elise shook her head and sighed. How did this silly girl grow to reach this age?

When she looked up, she saw that Jake's gaze had followed Winona around unabashedly. Yet, hisgaze was so gentle that one could squeeze water out of his eyes.

“Stop looking.” Elise poked him in the stomach. “She is taken.”

"What are you saying, Elise...” Jack feigned ignorance.

“Do you not understand? Fine. Then, let me be clearer. Winona has a boyfriend. Do you understandnow?" She deliberately spoke eloquently on this subject. “The man’s name is Craig Baker. They areclassmates, colleagues, and first loves. Some people might never have a chance...”

The smile stiffened on his face, but he quickly composed his emotions again. Then, he pretended tobe indifferent and stubbornly replied, “I see. That Craig is such an unlucky guy. He will probably gobroke from trying to feed her.”

“That's true.” Elise deliberately revealed the truth. “How much savings can a trainee have? It's nowonder he keeps it a secret from her that he entertains various rich ladies. But, that's not important.Craig is only doing such things to give Winona a better future.”

“That's a shitty future!” Jack exclaimed furiously for no apparent reason. “He doesn't even have thedignity of a man anymore; what future is there to talk about!?”

The corners of Elise’s mouth lifted almost imperceptibly before she teased, “They are a youngcouple in love. Why are you getting so agitated? This is an arrangement of mutual consent. One iswilling to throw the punch and the other is willing to be hit. Do you understand?”

“I'm not agitated.” His expression was dark, and his voice was icy. “I just remembered that I have acommercial to shoot in the afternoon. Bye.”

After he said that, he turned to leave. Even when he passed by the door and Winona greeted him,he ignored her and did not respond.
