Chapter 158,Coolest Girl in Town
“This model is a limited edition. The finishing of it is so smooth.” Elise frowned slightly. It was only then did she notice there was a letter in the box. After taking it out and seeing the receiver written on it was ‘Sue’, she quickly kept the letter away. This parcel is for Sue. Immediately, Elise closed the box and said, “It’s just an ordinary race car model. I’ll get you one next time if you like it.” Danny giggled. “Thanks, Boss! I’m surprised that you actually like car racing because girls normally won’t be interested in it. But let me tell you a secret—Alexander is a great car racer.
I shall arrange a meetup someday so that he can show off his skills to you.” Elise patted Danny’s shoulder. “Have you finished your homework? How do you even have time to think about car racing?” Danny pulled a long face. “I’m just thinking of getting you some good shows since you like car racing. If you don’t like it, then forget it.” Elise did not respond but sank into deep thoughts as she looked at the parcel. Who sent this parcel?
That person seems to have known my identity… After school in the afternoon, Elise and Danny went home together. As soon as Elise placed the parcel in her bedroom, her phone rang. “Boss, have you received the parcel?” It was Jamie. Elise lifted her brows and asked, “Did you send it?” Jamie quickly denied it. “Nope, it’s sent by a new domestic car racing society. There should be an invitation card in the parcel. They’re going to organize their first auto racing competition in Tissote on the 3rd of next month and have specially invited you to participate in the race.
The parcel was originally sent to my office, but I sent it to your school afterward.” I see. “Are you going to join the race, Boss?” Elise rejected it directly. “Nope.” Jamie seemed to have expected this response as he quickly replied, “I heard it’s a really big event and they’ve even invited many famous car racers in the country. So, I bet it’ll be very exciting. Let’s not miss out on the fun! I heard that the cash prize for the champion this time is 1 billion!” Hearing that, Elise wavered a little. “Do you want to try it out, Boss?” Nonetheless, Elise still rejected it. “Nah.”
Seeing how determined Elise was, Jamie decided to give up. “Alright, Boss. Just let me know if you change your mind. I still have some matters to attend to. Talk to you again soon.” As soon as the call ended, Elise kept away her phone and opened the invitation letter in the box. After glancing through it, she kept it away in the storage box together with the race car model. At the same time, at Griffith Group, Cameron walked in with a parcel. “President Griffith, you have a parcel.” Alexander did not lift his head but continued reading the documents in his hand. “What is it?”
he asked. Cameron glanced at the delivery slip and said, “I’m not sure. It’s not written on the slip.” “Open it and take a look.” Cameron hummed in response and quickly opened the parcel to see a race car model, which was exactly the same model as the one Elise received. “It’s a race car model, President Griffith.” It was only then that Alexander lifted his head and gazed toward it. At the same time, Cameron noticed the invitation letter. “And there’s an invitation letter.” After saying that, he passed the letter to Alexander, who then opened the letter and perused it.
“It’s an invitation from a domestic car racing society to take part in a competition. Are you going, President Griffith?” Being reminded of the last time he went to France to watch the auto racing competition, Alexander rejected it. “I’ll opt out.” Hearing that, Cameron stopped asking questions. “I’ll help you to keep this away then.” “It’s okay. You can pass it to Danny. He’ll love this,” Alexander ordered, to which Cameron hummed in response. “I’ll put it in your car so that you can bring it back later.” “Alright.” After reaching home at night, Alexander went to Danny’s room with the parcel in his hands.
He opened the door to see Danny studying, which made him ask, “Since when did you become so hardworking?” Danny lifted his eyes as he was a little surprised. “Hey, Alex! What brings you here?” Alexander placed the box on the table. “I just got a new race car model. I know you’ll like it, so I brought it back for you.” Danny’s eyes lit up. “Really? Guess what—today, I saw Boss receive a super cool limited-edition car model. I was so envious of her, but who knew I’d get one too!”
Danny babbled while opening the box. The moment he saw that the car model was the same exact one as Elise’s, he thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. “Alex, are these car models produced by batches? Why is this model exactly the same as Boss’?” Alexander asked in shock, “Are you saying that Elise has the exact same car model?” Danny nodded. “Boss received a parcel today, and the car model is exactly like this one. Little did I expect you’ll have one too. What are the odds!” At that moment, suspicion flashed across Alexander’s eyes.
As Danny saw his expression, he thought that Alexander did not buy his words, so he quickly said, “If you don’t believe it, I’ll go get the car model from Boss so that you can take a look at it. They are really exactly the same. It makes me wonder if both of your minds actually think so alike that you guys even bought the same item!” Alexander pondered for a moment and said, “I didn’t buy this. It’s a gift from a domestic car racing society.”
Danny didn’t notice anything wrong at first, but he was shocked after digesting Alexander’s words. “What?! So Boss’ car model is from the car racing society too? How is this possible? Boss is a girl—it’s unlikely for her to be a car racer!” What Danny said made a lot of sense. However, it made Alexander sink into deep thoughts. Is Elise a car racer too? Elise opened her room door and so happened to bump into Alexander, who came out from Danny’s room. They met each other’s eyes for two seconds before Elise quickly averted her gaze. “Have you eaten?”
Elise asked casually. However, Alexander stared at her for quite a while before answering, “Not yet. I just reached home.” Elise hummed in response and said, “Let’s go downstairs for dinner then.” With that, the two went downstairs one after another. In the dining room, the servants had already served the food to the table. While eating, none of them initiated a conversation as Elise quietly finished her dinner.
After finishing her meal, Elise put down the cutlery and said, “I’m done. I’ll head upstairs first.” With that, Elise stood up and went upstairs while Alexander simply watched her leave without calling on her in the end.
