Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 761 Staying Away Is the Best Way I Can Protect You

In order to live the life of a new identity, she had to take on the work of the new identity.

Anastasia had sent a manuscript to a publishing house when she was traveling around the world. Unexpectedly, she had passed every round, and had won the first prize.

Today was the day she would receive the award.

With the attendance of well-known writers in the industry, the award ceremony bustled with noise.

Elise wasn’t sure whether Anastasia had any acquaintances in the circle, but in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she could only hide in a corner where traffic was low.

It wasn’t long before the host of the event called her name. “Next up, we would like to invite the winner of the first prize, Miss Anastasia White, to come up on stage to give her acceptance speech. Everyone, please give her a round of applause!”

As the thunderous applause rang out from the audience, Elise, acting neither humble nor arrogant, walked up to the stage and stood in the center of the stage to bow to thank the audience. She then stood there while waiting to receive her trophy.

“We will now have the previous winner of the first prize, Mr. Alexander Griffith, to present the award! Welcome!”

Elise’s heart thumped violently and her expression became unnatural for a moment, but she still forced herself to regain his composure within the blink of an eye.

Alexander soon came on stage, and he took the trophy from the usher before he walked toward Elise and passed her the trophy.

“Thank you.” Elise deliberately made her voice gruffer.

However, the man’s attention was caught by her eyes when he glanced at her briefly.

Those eyes look so familiar… They look just like hers, Alexander thought without letting go of the trophy. He kept staring at her face unblinkingly.

His deep voice sounded between them only after a few beats. “I have an old friend who also likes the brand of perfume you are using.”

Hearing that, she lowered her head to avoid looking right in his face as she deliberately mocked. “Is this how you approach women, Mr. Griffith? We are at a public event!”

The host also realized the tense atmosphere, so he hurried over and reminded in a low voice, “Mr. Griffith, why don’t we take a photo first?”
