Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 858 Do I Scare You That Much?

“Sorry!” Danny didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “I am not experienced in this.” “Forget it. I will just

blame it on my luck.” The female classmate endured the disgust and gave him a fierce look. “Seriously,

someone of your IQ is unworthy of that beautiful lady.”

“Yes, yes. You are right. I already know that, which is why I asked for your help, ma’am. We were

classmates for so many years. Do you really have the heart to watch me grow old alone?” Danny

coaxed humbly.

“Don’t even start. Quickly! Turn the chair and see if the beautiful lady is watching!” she instructed again,

her face annoyed. “Okay.”

He then put in some force and inconspicuously changed their angle, only to see Ariel having a serious

conversation on the phone in her office. Danny continued staring for 10 seconds, but he couldn’t find

anything unusual about her.

“How is it?” the classmate urged, earning a frown from the man. “She is not really doing anything. She

isn’t even looking at us. Could she not have noticed that I brought you here?”

“That is impossible.” The classmate firmly believed that her judgment would not be wrong. “We make it

so obvious what our goals are, and she is not blind. How could she not see us?!”

“Does this mean that she doesn’t care at all?” Danny’s eyes went dim in disappointment.

Hearing that, the classmate didn’t dare reassure him anymore. She finally got off of him after a brief

moment of pondering. “Come. We will strut around for her. I refuse to believe that we won’t get even

one bit of reaction out of her!”

After tidying her clothes, she struck the sexiest pose she could come up with, and then domineeringly

put Danny’s hand around her waist before they walked out together.

They intentionally slowed down and greeted Ariel as they passed by Ariel’s office. Even so, Ariel only

lightly nodded in return and continued to speak into her phone.

Danny was crestfallen when he saw her reaction, but still he calmly went out while still hugging his

classmate. He kept holding out hope until the moment the elevator door closed.

When she didn’t come after him and the elevator had started going down, Danny had lost all his

confidence. He then let go of his classmate in despair and weakly leaned against the handrail on the

walls of the elevator.

“If the love isn’t there, nothing will change no matter how hard I try.” His words were met with silence

from her.

As much as she was reluctant to agree, the classmate had to agree with the fact that successful

women had a low need for romantic relationships. Perhaps Ariel wasn’t not interested in Danny. It was

just that she wasn’t interested in anyone.

After the elevator door opened, they dragged their feet out of the elevator before coming to a stop

tacitly. “What are we going to do now?” The woman shrugged. “Are we still going to feast like the

gods?”

“For sure!” Danny spat. “How can we not? We have to celebrate having my heart completely broken.

Let’s go!”

Just as he was about to start walking again, he felt a numbing sensation on his chest. He then took his

phone out, only to see that he had received a message from Ariel. ‘Was that the person you like?’

Danny immediately beamed as grabbed his phone tightly and yelled, “Yes!!!” “What is the matter?” The

female classmate was more curious than he was. “Tell me!”

Excited, he showed her his phone. “Ariel sent me a message!”

“Really?! Show it to me!” She snatched the phone out of his hand. It didn’t take long before she keenly

grinned. “Hook, line, and sinker!”

“Give it back! I haven’t replied to her!”

Danny then charged at his classmate, in which she pulled away to prevent him from taking his phone

back. “Why are you so excited? Don’t you know that a watched pot never boils?”

“You’re right.” He breathed a sigh of relief and slowly adjusted his breathing. The moment he looked

stable, he was back to initial excited self again the next second. “When can I get back to her then?” he

asked eagerly.

“Look at how cheap you are making yourself look.” The classmate shook her head in disgust before

teaching him patiently. “You can’t be too hasty. No one appreciates things that are too easy to get. You

should reply after a minute or two in a colder tone. That will definitely make that pretty lady feel

competitive.”

Danny seemed to be as clueless as he knew what she was talking about, but he answered, “You are

right.”

Taking back his phone, he replied, ‘What is the matter?’

The two of them continued to stand right in front of the elevator, their eyes fixated on the chat.

At the same time, Ariel’s heart turned cold when she saw Danny’s indifferent reply.

So it seems he has found someone he wants to treat warmly instead of me, his business partner.

After she took a deep breath to calm herself down, she calmly typed out a reply. ‘It’s nothing. You look

good together. Have fun on your date.’

The hope that had just been ignited had disappeared by half the instant Danny read the message. As

though he was holding a bottle, he threw his phone to his classmate. “I flattered myself again. She

doesn’t care about me at all.”

“You really are an idiot.” At that point, the classmate was so angry she could hit him. “Would she have

asked you if she didn’t care?”

“Is that so?” Danny scratched the back of his head in confusion. “It doesn’t feel right to me, though.”

“You can just rest assured and listen to me. I have no time to waste with you. It is time to pull a knock-

out move. Send her a reply that you are ready to get married and about to settle down. I promise that

she won’t be able to hold back, and will come to question you about it tonight!” The classmate threw

the phone back angrily.

Danny’s eyes glinted when he heard that, and he finally decided to go all out. “Fine. I will take a

gamble!”

After he quickly typed out a reply, he turned his phone off after he sent the message.

“What is this?” The classmate was dumbfounded. “What are you up to?”

He let out a resigned sigh. “I don’t even know if she will reply to me. I will check at night. At least my

judgment day won’t come so soon.”

The corners of her mouth twitched as she gave him a thumbs-up. “You are a genius.”

“I am already miserable, so stop making fun of me. Let’s go. We will have a drink together.”

The two of them proceeded to leave the company after their conversation.

Ariel was upstairs when she went into a daze while staring at the message Danny sent her.

‘Marriage’ was supposed to be a beautiful word, and yet it felt painful for Ariel to see Danny bringing it

up.

It seems like he has finally found the one. It is time I leave.

…

At 2.00AM, Jamie sneakily peeked around the back entrance of the Keller Group’s building. He only

strutted out after he made sure he was the only one there.

He had barely taken his second step when a ghastly voice called out, “Jamie Keller!”

Caught by surprise, he only froze for a second before he wanted to run away.

“Stop hiding from me!” Narissa called him to a stop.

Knowing that he could no longer run, he turned around and played dumb. “Who’s hiding? I was just

exercising my reflexes.”

“Do I scare you that much?” She looked at him without any emotion on her face.
