Chapter 96 That Isn’t Elise

 

“Miss Lily agreed to be here at 6.00PM, so I’m sure she’ll be down soon,” Elise replied.

Alexander raised his wrist to look at the time. “Let’s head over first, then.” They walked over to the restaurant, with Elise following behind Alexander. All of a sudden, his footsteps came to a halt. “Oh. Please go to my car and bring the red wine over. It’s the one that Lily wants—I left it on my passenger’s seat.” He handed his car keys to Elise as he spoke.

 

She took the keys and turned to head to the parking lot. After collecting the red wine, she went back to the restaurant. By then, Lily had already come down and was talking to Alexander. They seem to be enjoying their conversation, Elise thought as she watched them from a distance.

 

“Mr. Griffith, Miss Lily. Here’s the red wine you asked for.”

 

 

 

Lily took a glance at the red wine. “How generous of you, Mr. Griffith,” she uttered in fluent French. Elise was rather puzzled. Does Lily speak French?

 

 

Alexander curled his lips into a smirk before he responded in French. He sounded just as fluent in the language as she was. “As you like it, Miss Lily.”

 

Meanwhile, Elise stood by the side until Alexander turned to look at her. “Take a seat,” he offered. She quickly rejected him. “It’s fine, Mr. Griffith! I’ll stand here, and you can let me know if you need anything.”

 

 

 

Alexander shot Elise a rather puzzled stare. He then shifted his gaze to Lily as he recalled how he had intended to discuss some work-related stuff with her. “Miss Lily, I truly appreciate you traveling over to Athesea just to improve the work that we’re doing together. I believe our partnership will be a fruitful one.”

who was taken aback by Lily’s sudden show of concern, stared at Alexander helplessly. His face was devoid of emotions, and Elise couldn’t seem to tell what was going on in his mind. Well, I’m sure there isn’t a single man on Earth who can reject a gorgeous, fair-skinned blonde like Lily, Elise thought as she shifted her attention back to Lily.
