Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 498 Exclusively Elise’s

Elise could feel her face burning. After inhaling deeply, she changed the topic. “Don’t sweet-talk me. Are you done with your business over there? I’m almost done here. Do you want me to go over to help you?”

“There’s no need. I’m almost done too. Let’s meet up in Athesea,” Kenneth replied.

“Alright, then. You’d better attend to your business.” She shrugged, unfazed by his rejection. However, as if she was suddenly recalling something, Elise dropped her usual gentleness and growled, “But you are not allowed to flirt with other women. Do you hear me?”

Kenneth was stunned to hear that at first but when he returned to his senses, he grinned even wider. “Sure. When I get back, I’ll have Cameron make a sign that says ‘Exclusively Elise’s’. I’ll hang it over my neck and carry it around. What do you think?”

This successfully made Elise laugh. “Won’t that make you a pet dog? Only dogs wear nameplates.”

“I’m not a dog, but I’m your pet. By wearing a nameplate, when someone dares to lay a hand on me, other people will know to inform you to take me home.” He coaxed her, treating her like a child as he subconsciously slowed down his pace.

At a hallway far away from where Kenneth was, Melody took notice of the wide grin on Kenneth’s face from afar. It made her frown, as if she was looking at a monster.

Here we go again—the same old trick of giving a reward after a punishment.

Even without him having to tell her, Melody knew that Kenneth must have asked for the ‘punishment’ on his own accord.

She pouted, a look of disgust on her face. Perhaps Mr. Bailey has a slight fetish for self-abuse. I bet no one could tell that from how he looks…

Meanwhile, Elise, who was delighted to hear his sweet words, played along. “Sure, I’ll have to buy some rope and tie you by my side for the rest of your life.”

Kenneth stopped in his tracks, his voice as tender as a silk garment that slid across a lady’s delicate skin. “If that’s true, I can’t wait for it to happen.” He briefly paused before he added, “Ellie, I can’t wait to devote my whole life to you.”

Elise pursed her lips in utter embarrassment. “Alright, alright. I know. Considering that you are so madly in love with me, I promise you that I won’t fall for anyone else no matter how tempting it is.”

“Is there anyone you find even more tempting than me?” Kenneth joked deliberately.
