Chapter 220 Your Dream Will Come True One Day,Coolest Girl in Town
It had been a long time since he last saw a genuine smile on Mikayla’s face. She seemed to turn into a different person when she saw Elise. “Elise, come here and have a seat. What do you want to eat? I’ll have the maids prepare them for you,” Mikayla offered, treating the other girl warmly. Elise sat down and replied, “Anything will do. I’m not picky.” And so, Mikayla instructed the maids to prepare something before she loquaciously chatted with Elise about all the things that had happened recently. They seemed close, just like how they had been in the past, which made Elise feel that the familiar sense seemed to have returned.
Thereafter, Mikayla led Elise to her storeroom, where she kept all her precious, memorable things that she had collected up until now since she was little. She found the album that she had previously treasured. “Look at these! I used to collect a lot of CDs and posters of a singer named H. Did I really like her? Why don’t I remember it at all?” Upon hearing that, Elise immediately paused in her actions. Raising her eyes to look at Mikayla, she murmured, “Don’t you remember that I once gave you her limited-edition album?” Mikayla shook her head to show that she couldn’t remember about this.
However, she looked around and found the two limited-edition albums. “Do you mean these?” Elise hummed in response. At least Mikayla still has a bit of her past memories. “After listening to this CD, I found that she has a distinct voice and the style of her songs is rather unique. I would love to listen to her live if I have the chance.” When Jack, who was standing off to one side, heard what Mikayla said, he chimed in, “She has left the entertainment industry for many years, so you won’t be able to see her perform live anymore. However, she helped me write a new song some time ago.
She’s the composer of my new song. Would you like to listen to it?” Mikayla was surprised to hear that. “Really? Which means that these limited-edition albums that I currently own are actually quite precious, right?” “You should be glad. There are plenty of her fans out there who would be envious of you.” Jack’s confirmation put a bright smile on Mikayla’s face. “I have to keep these albums carefully, then. Although I don’t find her special now, it seems that I used to adore her a lot back then.” On the other hand, Elise just smiled. “Just store them properly.”
Mikayla immediately kept the CDs away, thereafter playing with an old guitar that seemed to contain some stories of the past. “Did I play the guitar?” As she spoke, she reached out and fiddled the strings twice, making a rather strange twang. Nonetheless, the next second, Elise took the old guitar from her and put it on her lap. Looking at Mikayla, she asked, “Would you like to listen to some songs?” Surprised, Mikayla nodded, while Jack turned to Elise and asked, “I didn’t know that you could play the guitar.” Elise smiled and didn’t say anything. Instead, she slowly plucked the strings.
A classical song resounded in the tiny space. Although Mikayla had lost her memories, she started humming along upon hearing the familiar song. After the song, Elise wiped the guitar and stated, “This is a good guitar; it’s a waste to leave it here to gather dust.” However, Jack was once again astonished by Elise. He had never expected that she could play guitar, let alone be so skillful in it. It was simply too surprising, and the way she played was somewhat similar to H’s playing. “Elise, you play the guitar well!” Jack praised her sincerely, and Mikayla couldn’t help but give her a thumbs-up as well.
“For some reason, memories about H suddenly appeared in my head when I was listening to you play. Although they were just fragments of certain images, they seemed to be imprinted in my head.” “Oh—what did you recall?” Elise asked. However, Mikayla shook her head, so the former comforted her. “No worries. Take your time. You will remember everything one day.” “Speaking of which, are you coming back to school?”
Elise asked, to which Mikayla nodded and answered, “I left the school too suddenly, so I skipped all the procedures, but it also saved me the effort now. I think I will be able to return to school next week.” “That’s great!” In the end, Elise accompanied Mikayla for a long time and she was unwilling to leave even when it was late at night. It was only after Jack repetitively urged for her to leave that she reluctantly left Mikayla’s house. On their way back, Jack couldn’t hold back his curiosity and asked, “When did you learn to play the guitar? Why haven’t I heard you mention this?”
Elise tilted her head to look at him before she replied, “It was a long time ago and I hadn’t played for quite some time, so I think my skills are a little rusty.” “Not at all! I can tell that you can play guitar very well,” he sincerely commented. He was especially impressed by Elise’s ability to imitate other people’s playing style as the way she played was very similar to that of H. “I reckon that you adore H as well. I have long been wanting to meet H, but I couldn’t find a suitable opportunity and she seems to not want to meet me.” Jack seemed distressed at the mention of this.
The incident that involved his new song had caused him to be indebted to H, so he had been pondering on how to repay her help. In fact, his manager had been contacting H but had failed to ask her out for a meeting. H was surely as mysterious as rumor had it. However, Elise asked with her brows furrowed, “Is there any reason why you want to meet H?” “Nothing special. I just wanted to speak to an experienced senior in the industry.”
Jack casually answered before he asked, “I can tell that you are also H’s fan, so I’ll definitely ask for H’s signature on your behalf if I meet her someday.” Meanwhile, she was at a loss for words. A speechless Elise then scratched her ear and tactfully rejected his kind offer. “There’s… no need.” Oblivious to the underlying meaning in her words, Jack continued, “It’s fine if you don’t want H’s signature. Perhaps I could bring you along and meet her in person.”
Upon hearing that, Elise asked, “Do you really wish to meet her that much?” Jack smiled and replied in a serious manner, “To be honest, I didn’t really want to at first, but she’s just too mysterious. You know how human nature works—the more mysterious something is, the more we want to find out about it, which is why I really want to know what kind of person she is under all the mystery. That’s all.” Amused by his statement, Elise chuckled. “I think that your dream will come true one day.”
