Coolest Girl in Town 

Chapter 230 

Despite the circumstances, Elise only smiled back at Jamie. After all, if it weren’t for the presence of other people, she might have used this opportunity to tell Alexander the truth. However, it wasn’t the best time to speak up given the number of people present. And so, she decided to take it step by step.

As a discerning man, Rudolph took notice of Alexander’s seeming interest in Elise and tried his best to bring the topic around to both of them. Meanwhile, Jamie, who was seated nearby, was quick-witted enough to resolve the awkward atmosphere.

However, Rudolph seemed not to cotton onto Jamie’s meaning and only occupied himself with debating whether to arrange for H and Alexander to have some time alone after the dinner.

Most were aware of the unspoken rules that guided this industry, and Jamie knew that H’s reputation would not suffer for her being alone with Alexander. Hence, he offered, “Want a smoke, Rudolph? Let’s step outside for a smoke.”

Though somewhat reluctant to leave, Rudolph agreed to Jamie’s proposal with a smile. “Sure. We’ll be back soon, Young Master Alex.”

With that, they walked out of the room one after the other. Without Rudolph there to get in the way, the atmosphere between Elise and Alexander began to change subtly.

For a long moment, the room was silent. After a while, Alexander slowly spoke. “You have a beautiful voice, Miss H, and you’ve been doing very well in the industry. Why did you retire?”

She lifted her eyes and stared at him. As their eyes met, the both of them jolted like they had been shocked and Elise was the first to look away.

It feels too familiar, Alexander thought to himself with a frown. It feels just like when Elise and I look at each other. Why do I keep seeing Elise in her? Are they related in some way? 

Now that he actually thought about it, they both had the same last name. Does that mean the both of them are biologically related? 

Before Alexander could pursue that line of thought, Elise murmured, “I retired previously due to a vocal cord injury. Since I thought I could never sing again, I

chose an appropriate time to leave the scene. After treatment, however, my vocal cords healed. I didn’t want to return-you could say I never thought about it-but in the end, I came back for a friend. She lost her memory, but she was always a fan of my music before that. What I’m hoping for is to bring back her lost memories using my music.”

“I see. You must prize your relationships very much. It must be a blessed thing to be your friend.”

Though his tone of voice was sincere, she simply commented, “Thank you, but I’m only doing what I can. I’ll leave the rest up to fate.”

By now, Alexander was feeling not only did Joy remind him strongly of Elise, but they spoke very similarly as well. How could there be two people in this world who looked so different and yet seemed so alike?

“May I take the liberty of asking you a question, Miss Sinclair?”

“Yes?”

“Do you have a twin or a biological sister?”

And just like that, Elise felt her heart skip a beat. At first, she thought Alexander had discovered something but since he was only staring at her in confusion, she could only tell him, “I’m an only child. There are no other children in my family.”

Assuming he had jumped to conclusions, Alexander was quick to apologize. “I’m sorry. I only asked because I thought you were very similar to someone I know. Please don’t take it to heart.”

Yet, Elise asked curiously, “Who are you talking about? Is it the woman you love? I heard you have a fiancée… I wonder what she’s like.”

The statement was thrown out reflexively, and Elise wished for nothing more than to be able to bite off her own tongue the moment she finished speaking. Why do I have to complicate things for myself? 

Yet, there was a part of her that hoped to be able to hear what Alexander thought of her through someone else’s ears.

“I wonder if you can read minds, Miss Sinclair, because the woman that I said was

similar to you is indeed my fiancée. She is someone I feel very comfortable with.”

Somewhat surprised by his reply, Elise opened her mouth to say something, only to be interrupted by the room door flying open as Jamie and Rudolph walked in.

“Miss H! Young Master Alex! What are you both talking about?”

“Nothing. We were merely chatting.”
