Chapter 63 Framing Elise

Elise opened the take-out carrier bag to reveal the delicately-prepared dishes. Her stomach rumbled at the sight of the food and before long, the three girls sat on their stools and began to dig in.

“This is so good!” Samantha exclaimed in delight as she took a bite of one of the dishes.

Upon hearing this, Riley quickly sampled a mouthful of the food as well. “That’s incredible. I need to know the name of the restaurant so that I can drop by in the future.”

“I could bring the both of you along next time,” Elise offered heartily.

The two girls agreed earnestly, and as Riley ate her supper, she caught a glimpse of Samantha’s wrist watch. “Samantha, is that a new watch you’re wearing? It’s gorgeous!”

“Thanks. My daddy gave it to me for my birthday,” Samantha explained. “It’s a limited edition from Chanel; I couldn’t bear to take it out of the box until two days ago.”

“It’s beautiful. I should get my dad to buy me one, too,” Riley said. She glanced over at Elise and asked cheerily, “Do you have a watch that you like, Elise? I’ll get it for you as a gift one of these days.”

Elise, however, made her opinion known. “I’m not really into watches. I’ve always thought of them as impractical accessories.”

“Come on, you can tell a lot about a person from the watch they’re wearing and it’s scarily accurate,” Riley argued. “It’s like a symbol of your status or something.”

Samantha nodded in agreement. “My daddy and his business partners all have a staple piece in their watch collection. The watches represent who they are.”

Elise hummed in response, conceding to the argument. “Well, in that case, I should probably read up on this theory.”
