Gossip Girl Reborn by Darlene Nunez

Chapter 185 Every Man Has His Own Kryptonite

"Nice to meet you," greeted Zendaya, her eyes lit up slightly as they met Isabella's gaze. Her tone also rose for a moment. But as if suddenly realizing something, she quickly composed herself, adopting a calm and obedient demeanor.

She had a pair of exceptionally captivating bedroom eyes. Anyone who locked gazes with her would easily find themselves mesmerized by her eyes.

Clifford's first crush and ex-girlfriend, Elaine, had an identical pair of eyes.

Since Isabella had just met Zendaya, she started looking at the gossip of Clifford hiring someone to act as a stand-in in the place of his first crush from her perspective. However, there was a minor hiccup.

Oh, this university student is even a fan of mine. Not bad. She has good taste. No wonder she looked at me with such excitement just now. If she weren't working right now, she probably would've rushed over for an autograph and a photo together. Working...

Alexander felt like face-palming.

When he heard the gossip about Damien earlier, he felt that Isabella's revelations were too sparse, leaving him confused.

But at that moment, he felt that he heard too much. Considering the embarrassingly foolish act of that buddy of his, even he couldn't help but feel mortified on behalf of Clifford.

Is hiring a young girl as Elaine's stand-in something a sane person would do? I really can't comprehend the way his mind works. But then, I still remembered the scene of their breakup back then...

Isabella's thoughts continued playing. Haha... It turns out the reason his first crush broke up with him was very simple. She merely found a long-distance relationship impossible to maintain, and her feelings for him had also faded. She wanted to explore new horizons and try dating a foreign guy, so she decisively announced their breakup in public, not wanting to tarnish her reputation by being labeled a cheater. How decisive of her! Haha...

The corners of Alexander's mouth twitched. Elaine is indeed pretty carefree. And as she said, she dated several foreign boyfriends. She seems to be leading a vibrant life abroad. Even someone like me, who rarely logs in to Instagram, can catch a glimpse of her timely updates on the rare occasions I do.
