Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 122

After finishing, Danny handed the chalk to Mr. Winfrey. “Here you go. I’ve solved it.” Looking at Danny’s mathematical solution, Mr. Winfrey couldn’t help but feel amazed. He couldn’t believe that Danny could improve so much in just a week. He even suspected that Danny had been acting ignorant and stupid all this while. “Well done! Your steps and answer are correct. It looks like you’ve improved a lot, Danny. Other students should learn from you.”Immediately, the corner of Danny’s mouth tugged upwards as he made his way down the podium with his head held high while he enjoyed the attention that the other students were giving him because it was something that he had never experienced before in his 18 years of life. “You did great,” Elise whispered to him. Right then, he smiled even brighter and whispered into her ear, “That’s because you taught me well, Boss.” “Don’t be glib.

 

The end is yet to come. We still have to work hard.” Hearing this, he gave her a formal salute. “Yes, Boss! I’ll keep up the good work!” With a smile, she resumed reviewing her practice questions and wrote in her book. During recess, he stayed in his seat and did revision exercises instead of doing what he would usually do. He even rejected his friends’ invitation to play basketball.

That day, what he said most was, “Boss, how should I answer this question? Could you explain question 17? How should I draw the force analysis diagram for physics? Can you teach me?” Even Mikayla was surprised by his sudden change of behavior. “Elise, why do I feel like Danny’s become a totally different person? Is he still the Danny I know?” Elise wasn’t sure how to answer this question, so she turned to glance at Danny and said, “I guess he’s really changed.

After all, he can’t stay at 250 forever.” Confused, Mikayla asked, “250? What do you mean by that?” “His grades! His total score has always been at the edge of 250. Perhaps he came around and decided to stay away from such an unlucky number,” Elise explained. Upon hearing this, Mikayla couldn’t help but laugh. “Now that you mentioned it, Danny seems so inspirational all of a sudden. Besides, I admire you even more right now for training your apprentice so well without spending much effort.”

Unconvinced, Elise smiled and scratched her head. “This actually means that he’s talented. I didn’t really do much.” After all, a teacher would show the way, but the outcome depended on the student’s own effort. Elise knew this very well. After school, Elise waited at the school entrance for quite some time, yet Alexander still had not arrived. Even when most of the students had left, she still did not see his car. So, she took out her phone and called him.

As soon as the call went through, she couldn’t help but ask, “Look at the time. Why are you not here yet?” However, it was Cameron who answered the phone. Staring at the tightly shut meeting room door, he explained, “Miss Sinclair, Mr. Griffith’s still in a meeting. I’m afraid that he won’t be able to pick you up. Why don’t you call a taxi?”

Biting her lip, she replied, “Never mind, then. I’ll go home on my own.” Though she had said so, a sense of disappointment overwhelmed her as soon as she hung up the phone. “Whatever. I’ll just call a cab.” Just as she was about to book a cab, a cool-looking Porsche stopped right in front of her. The window was wound down, revealing Danny’s charming face. “Get in!” She looked up at him. Without any hesitation, she kept her phone and hopped into the car.

Just then, a book caught her attention. It was a thick, ancient book in Traditional Chinese. She took it off the shelf and started flipping through it. Time passed very quickly. Soon, night had fallen, but she was so absorbed in the book that she didn’t realize it. Finally, Danny found her.

“Turns out you’re here, Boss. It’s getting late. Let’s go home.” It was only then that she came back to her senses. It was already 7.00PM when she checked the time. Wanting to read more, she glanced at the book in her hands and folded the corner of the page before putting it back in its original place.

“Are we coming again tomorrow?” she asked. Smiling, he gazed at her and nodded. “Of course. I realized that my head’s clearer when I do my homework here. It’s as if I’m being influenced by these books.” “Reading can take you places.” She couldn’t help but chuckle.
