Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander)
Chapter 1012

On a lazy afternoon, Zephyr was done with his shower and strolled to the pool while wearing hisbathrobe. There, he donned a face mask and lay down in the sun with a facial mask at the manor toGriffith Manor's right. A few moments later, he dozed off, but in his groggy state, he vaguely saw asilhouette approaching him. When he opened his eyes, he first saw Narissa's face, which frightenedhim so much that he sat bolt upright. "Jeez! What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to see you." Narissa smiled faintly and spoke with a soft voice.

In the meantime, he found it strange at the sight of her appearance because she usually wore atomboyish outfit. At that moment, her hair cascaded down her shoulder, and she looked like aprincess, unlike her usual self. Soon, he gulped and asked her what she would do, his cheeks gettingwarm. "So, why are you here?"

"Come here."

"What?"

"Come closer so that you can hear me!" Narissa winked at Zephyr as if trying to put him under herspell. When the man did as he was told and stopped before her, she coquettishly said, "Closer."Despite his lack of courage to look her in the eyes, he leaned closer to her as instructed. Before hecould stand still, she suddenly pecked his cheek and quickly backed away. "What is the meaning ofthat?" He froze, holding his breath nervously.

"Don't you get it? Do you want to be my boyfriend?" Narissa whispered in Zephyr's ear and madehim gulp again while he hesitated to reply.

"You only have one chance, so if you miss it, you can forget about it. Hmph!"

"Wait! Wait! Yes! I said yes!" He quickly seized her hand when she was about to leave in a fit ofpique, laughing in a silly manner. Suddenly, an eagle appeared out of nowhere in the sky andswooped down at him, clawing at his face. "Get away from me!" He swung his arms wildly until heopened his eyes. Then, he realized the eagle that he saw never really appeared, but his palm had asparrow in it. So, it was all a dream, wasn't it? He sat up straight and heaved a sigh of relief, smilingat the thought of the kiss in his dream.

"So, this is what you've been busy with?" A voice came from one of the trees in the yard.

When Zephyr looked in the direction of where the voice came from, he saw Narissa sitting on thetree with one leg casually dangling from the branch. "Wow. The fact that you had the strength toclimb the tree as I did suggests you're close to full recovery,” he replied humorously.

"You're not the only one who can do that." She stood up and squinted, sniggering. "Anyway, mindyour own business, loser. What kind of dirty dream are you having that you're trying to do thatsparrow harm?” In fact, she was going to look for Jamie, but instead, she got the directions mixedup and ended up running into Zephyr, whom she saw was having some shut-eye.

He chuckled sinisterly. "What if I told you I dreamed about you? Was it a dirty dream?" Little didNarissa know that he was actually telling the truth

"You must be pretty gutsy to do that, then. Have you forgotten about my nickname? You'll pay theprice heavily for your dirty thoughts about me," she threatened him, her eyes lighting up.

"You seem to like the nickname I gave you." Zephyr curled his lips upward.

"I like it more when I beat you to a pulp. Would you like to try that out?" Narissa put her hands onher waist, where she kept her hidden weapons.

"Sure, I dare you to do it now. If your wound ruptures, I'm still the one who will do the stitching foryou, which will be better because I haven't had enough of looking at your—" Then, he tilted hishead playfully, provoking the lady with his mischief.

She gritted her teeth, restraining herself from punching the man in the face because she didn't wantto be at his mercy again. "You wait and see. When I recover, I will gouge your eyes and make you ablind man." Following that, she jumped from the tree and disappeared from sight around the tallwalls.

"I'll be waiting!" He gave chase while shouting, shaking his head in amusement at the thought oftheir interaction. Why would Miss Firecracker kiss me in the face? I must have lost my mind orsomething. "Wait for a second!" He suddenly realized something was wrong. "Would she tell theothers that I'm not busy at all?" Fine, let's hope she doesn't have a big mouth.

Fortunately for Zephyr, Narissa was not the person he feared she would be. As soon as she left hishome, their encounter immediately slipped her mind. After infiltrating two yards and getting pastthe guards, she finally arrived at Jamie's home, only to replace him away. Thus, she headed to thekitchen and poured herself a glass of water while giving him a call. "What are you doing?”Although the two currently lived separately, they often talked to each other over the phone.Therefore, it didn't take him long until he picked up the call. "I'm cooking in the kitchen,” Jamieanswered.

"In the kitchen?" She circled around the kitchen with the glass of water in her hand, doubting hewas referring to the same place she was thinking.

"Yeah, I'm trying to be a better cook to make good food for you after we get married. Alright, I needto return to my cooking now, see you. I'll call you back later." He quickly hung up on her, fearing shewould see through his made-up story. Then, he turned his attention to Suella and irritably lecturedher. "I only agreed to come with you because you said something happened to Alicia, not becauseof this goddamn rock-climbing competition!” Deep down, Jamie was still unable to get over his guiltfor Alicia, but at the same time, he refused to let Narissa know about that because he didn't wanther to look down on him. Nevertheless, his guilt still got the better of him more than his ego did ashe reckoned he was responsible for Alicia's misery. Due to that, he couldn't bring himself to ignoreher fate, deeming himself obligated to right the wrong.

"Easy." Suella was unconcerned with his aggression, pointing at the rock-climbing platform. "Take alook at what's going on over there.”

He then stuck out his neck and realized Alicia was wearing sportswear, which indicated that she wasone of the participants. He then recalled the disclaimer written on the poster that clearly stated theparticipants would be contesting at their own risk because they would not be given any rock-climbing gears.

"You said she wanted to torture herself, didn't you? A fall from a height like that would probablyleave her handicapped for life. Anyway, the Alicia I know is probably still struggling with the thingthat is disturbing her, although she may have seemed to get over it." Suella tried to guilt-trip Jamieto keep him guilty.

When he heard that, he immediately rushed toward the participants and dragged Alicia away.Meanwhile, she was perplexed by his reaction and quickly shook his hand off her as theyapproached the exit. "What are you doing, Jamie?"

"You can't be doing something so dangerous. Why don't you tell us if anything is bothering you?Don't put your own health or safety at risk.” Jamie was on the verge of losing his mind after replaceinghis efforts to resolve the dilemma were futile despite sacrificing everything he had.

"Do you think I'm trying to kill myself?" Alicia was puzzled upon hearing his words. She chuckledand said, "What 1 will do later is not what you think. Before I met you, I was already an adventurousperson. Furthermore, I've already practiced with this course hundreds of times, so I'm sure I'm goingto succeed, not to mention that I'm professionally certified. Therefore, this will be a walk in the parkfor me, and you have absolutely nothing to worry about.”

"Are you sure you didn't say that to make me feel better?" He was confused.
