Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 809

Chapter 809 You Fool

At this moment, Johnny walked over and whispered to Alexander, “Mr. Griffith, do we still proceed with destroying that shipment as per our initial plan?”

In fact, Smith Co. had planned to unload a shipment at this port, but they had changed the location at the last minute after Narissa tipped them off. However, this shipment didn’t belong to Smith Co., and the reason they took the shipment was to stop it from entering the market.

“Yes.” Alexander answered as he stared coldly in the direction where Narissa left.

Meanwhile, just as Narissa was about to catch up to Jayden, she suddenly received a call from Jamie.

She stopped and answered the phone. “What do you want?”

“I heard that your target this time round is Alexander, is it?” he questioned her.

“Yes,” she answered truthfully.

“Don’t you think that you’ve gone overboard? Do you think that Boss will be happy about this?” He couldn’t hide his disappointment.

“So, what are you getting at?” She sounded like she didn’t care.

“Are you determined to follow in Jayden’s footsteps and become a reporter?” he asked.

Hearing that, she raised her gaze and looked at Jayden’s back as she hesitated, but she eventually replied firmly, “Yes.”

“Fine, I have no comments if that’s the case. I hope that both of you will be happy together!” He ended the call right after.

As Narissa stood where she was, she stared at the remarks on her phone screen and mumbled, “You fool…”

…

Soon, the day of the concert had finally come. For the sake of Adelpha’s future, the White Family spent a fortune to purchase VIP seats so that they could meet the legendary maestro and ask him to take Adelpha as his protege after the concert ended. However, Adelpha left her seat halfway through the performance.

Firstly, she went to the washroom as she tried to conceal her trail. Following that, along the way toward the third floor, she purposely avoided areas with surveillance cameras. Once she was on the third floor, she stopped near the spiral staircase and took her phone out to make a call to Elise.

Elise answered the call instantly, but she spoke before Adelpha. “Adelpha, I’ll be waiting for you in the recital room on the fourth floor.” The call ended before Adelpha could say anything.

“What the heck? Is she commanding me?” Adelpha was annoyed.

However, after giving it some thought, she realized that the fourth floor and the third floor were near each other, so it wouldn’t be hard to get Anastasia to the third floor. With that, she calmed herself down and walked up the stairs. Within the large hall, all the other rooms were used as waiting rooms except for the recital room. The orchestra members would normally have rehearsals in the waiting rooms, which was why there weren’t many recital rooms within the hall.

After entering three of the recital rooms, she didn’t see Elise there and finally lost her patience upon entering the fourth. She stood by the piano as she was preparing to make a phone call to Elise.

“Well, why not?” She pursed her lips and smiled.

“That’s great!” The overjoyed Lyra tugged on Onyx’s sleeve and exclaimed, “Adelpha’s talent is being recognized by Maestro Yorkson! She is definitely going places!”

“Earlier on, didn’t you say that it was Maestro Sinclair instead of Maestro Yorkson? Why is it a different person? Did you hire someone to put on a show?” Onyx’s expression was grim since he was skeptical about it.

“Dad! You are being rude! Maestro Sinclair is world-renowned, but Maestro Yorkson is considered one of the best in the world too! Aren’t you afraid of being a laughing stock for saying those things?” Adelpha chided.

“What’s there to worry about?” Onyx replied as he adjusted his spectacles. “Asking questions is part of learning. There’s nothing to be ashamed of if I ask questions. Besides, he’s a maestro, so I’m sure that he wouldn’t take such matters to heart. Isn’t that right, Maestro Yorkson?”

“Haha, that’s true. We are never too old to learn.” He then took out his name card and passed it to her. “Do contact me after the concert is over. I look forward to having you join us at Alzue.”

As the wide-eyed Adelpha stared at the intricate name card, she took a deep breath. She was glad that she had finally achieved something big. Now that she was the protege of a maestro, no one would dare to look down on her from now on. She bit her lip as she tried to calm herself down before stretching her hand out to grab the name card.

Just then, Elise’s voice was heard. “Maestro Yorkson, are you sure that she is the right person?”

The startled Adelpha immediately retracted her hand. The next moment, Elise was already standing in front of her. She was irritated as she saw how calm Elise looked. “What nonsense are you sputtering? If Maestro Yorkson doesn’t select me to be his protege, do you think that he would select a tone-deaf student like you?”

“Can’t a tone-deaf person learn to play piano?” Elise laughed.

“Nonsense. If you can, you would have learned it earlier on. I see that you are trying to make a big fuss because you want to ride on Maestro Yorkson’s coattails!”
