Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 755 Is That You, Ellie?

At the banquet hall, Jamie took the initiative to take two steps toward Alexander. “Mr. Griffith, are you

also here for Boss’ sake?”

Alexander nodded without much care; he did not deny Jamie’s words as his gaze naturally surveyed

the venue.

A familiar slim figure suddenly appeared in Alexander’s sight.

The woman wearing the puppy-shaped mask bore similar resemblance to the person he had in mind.

“Who is she?” Alexander asked involuntarily as his gaze was fixed on the person.

Jamie followed Alexander’s gaze and instantly swayed by what he saw. Why does this person look so

much like Boss from this angle?

However, he dismissed the idea almost as soon as he had it. After all, Charissa had taken off the mask

in front of him earlier.

“That’s Charissa, Lucas Potter’s date.”

An absent-minded Jamie answered before he took a sip of the champagne to suppress the doubts in

his heart.

How could he possibly lose his concentration at such a moment? If Elise was in trouble and he couldn’t

recognize her, that would spell trouble for all of them.

For three months, Elise had never contacted any one of them and fought the battle alone. As a result,

he was extremely worried about her safety.

The anticipation in Alexander’s eyes faded by a tad bit, but his eyes still followed that woman with the

puppy-shaped mask. It was only when she arrived at Lucas’ side that Alexander retrieved his gaze.

On the other side, when Lucas saw the said woman, he tilted his head in confusion. “Why did you

change your clothes?”

Before the woman could explain herself, the music had started and Jamie took the lead by escorting

Narissa toward the dance floor.

One was a slender woman while the other was a heroic man, so they had a tacit agreement. As soon

as they appeared on the dance floor, they immediately attracted the attention of those present as they

applauded.

Lucas gritted his teeth with hatred and could no longer be bothered with his female partner’s change of

attire as he grabbed her hand and took her to the dance floor as well.

Both of them blended well with the pace of the music; Lucas was full of vigor, but he was comparable to

Jamie in terms of their bearings and perfectly controlled the aura of the room.

Whereas for the women, Narissa dropped her usual tomboyish behavior in exchange for a woman’s

gentleness with her gestures, which in turn complimented Jamie’s moves. The person wearing the

mask—’Charissa’—compromised even more as each of her moves reflected her strongest point and

perfectly interpreted the meaning of a ‘soul dancer’.

Lucas was particularly satisfied with this. The music was only halfway through when he started to

celebrate in advance. “Well done! I’ll pay you double the bonus once this is over.”

‘Charissa’ stared at him playfully and looked like she was also celebrating with her smiling eyes, but

hidden in her eyes were her calculated moves.

After that, she danced with all her might to ensure that she was as close to him as possible.

The audience was gradually attracted by their high standard of dancing as they admired the couple.

Lucas was proud as he raised his eyebrows at Jamie, signaling that he was close to gaining victory.

The audience had sharp eyes; they knew that if Lucas wanted to win on his strengths, then Jamie’s

failure was guaranteed. At least, Lucas and ‘Charissa’ could finally recover the pride they lost

previously.

Jamie was unaffected, but Narissa was slightly impatient. All of her gentle moves became rough and

impetuous while she frowned.

When she saw Lucas being proud, she was annoyed beyond means because she was the dignified

Young Lady of the Cuber Family. If she lost to this idiot, it would be akin to her losing her pride.

She knew that it was her fault for underestimating the enemy this time around; she never expected that

Charissa would be excellent in ballroom dancing, and this was something Narissa admired.

Being inferior to others was something that could not be explained, but when Narissa thought about

Lucas’ self-righteous expression at her impending loss, she couldn’t help but feel irritated.

She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn’t realize that she was almost out of the dance

floor. It was also at this moment that a pair of large hands supported her waist and steadily pulled her

back to her feet.

By the time Narissa regained her composure, she was already glued close to Jamie and following his

rhythm as they danced naturally.

He had a calm expression and when he raised his head to look ahead of him, there was a sense of

confidence in his gaze, which would leave anyone reassured.

“Don’t rush; it’s just a dance. We all have our strongholds. Even if we lose, we must lose with style, so

please be serious.”

Such a sentence was easily understood by Narissa and her annoyance was dissipated.

It felt like she and Jamie were the only ones on the dance floor where she resembled his disciple and

tacitly danced with him.

Over at the distance, Alexander carefully observed Lucas’ dance partner and his eyes gradually

brightened. His hands, which were in his pockets, also subconsciously stroked the material of his

pocket pants.

Ellie, is that you?

When the music reached its climax after the dancers danced on-and-off again, they came close to their

respective partners for the final encounter.

Lucas had a wide smile and he meaningfully turned to look at the woman. “You are deserving of your

award at the International Dance Competition. Once this is over, let’s catch a drink together.”

It looked like she was smiling under her mask as if she was responding to him, but a moment later

when he twirled her, she had the nerve to release her grip and fell as a result.

There was only one thought in his mind. I’m f*cked!

Sure enough, those who supported them earlier had a change in attitude.

“Goodness, what a pity. I was looking forward to this pair!”

“Exactly. Looks like her skills are still subpar!”

“If that’s the case, then it’s President Keller and his partner having what we call the perfect dance!”

An exasperated Lucas gritted his teeth and scolded, “Quickly get up!”

However, the woman only gloated at him before she rose to her feet and pushed the guests aside in

her bid to escape the banquet hall.

Those who saw the scene thought that she was unable to deal with such a humiliating scene, which

was why she dumped her dance partner and fled the scene.

Alexander only hesitated for a second before he headed out.

Both Jamie and Narissa had the perfect ending when the music stopped playing and they successfully

became the night’s king and queen of dance.

Lucas lowered his head to hide his embarrassment and tried to sneak out while the audience

congratulated the winning couple.

“Mr. Lucas Potter!” Narissa’s high-pitched voice echoed through the banquet hall like a rope reeling a

shocked Lucas in place.

He looked desolate as he had one foot on the dance floor when everyone turned their gazes on him.

Jamie brought Narissa over and the spotlight followed their shadows before illuminating all three of

them.

Lucas had one hand in his pocket, which was clenched into a tight fist. After a long while, he finally

turned to face them.

“We already have our outcome, so shouldn’t you fulfill your promise, Mr. Potter?” Jamie asked with a

smile.

He shared the same expression as Narissa as she deliberately walked forward and whispered into

Lucas’ ears. “All the dignitaries and influential people are here. If you want to back out, I’m not sure

whether they will be willing to engage in business collaborations with you. What do you say?”

Lucas’ fist tightened even more as his joints cracked.

“Fine! Isn’t it just removing my clothes? Since I have a beautiful body, why should I be worried about

showing it to you all?!”
