Chapter 278 A Transaction,Coolest Girl in Town

“I’ll remember your kindness, Elise, but I have to go back now because I have something else going on.I’ll invite you over to my place one day and cook you a delicious meal.” Thinking that she was simplysaying it casually, Elise didn’t take her words seriously. Still, she nodded. “Alright, Madam! Would youneed me to send you back?” The old lady shook her head. “That’s alright. You should hurry back toyour classes! I’ll take a seat here, and I can make it home myself after I rest a little.” “Are you reallygoing to be alright?” Elise asked, concerned. “Yes, I’ll be fine!

Go back to your classes and don’t worry about me.” Hearing her reply, Elise stood up and waved ather. “I’m going to my class first, then. Bye, Madam.” The old lady watched Elise from the back as sheleft and sighed. “It’s so rare to replace such a kind lass!” Then, she whisked out her cell phone and made acall. “Come and pick me up!” A few minutes after she hung up, a luxury MPV rolled over, and a servantgreeted her politely, “Old Madam!” Standing up, she said to the servant next to her, “Help me up. I felldown accidentally earlier.” Worry struck the servant as she heard that.

“Old Madam, are you okay? Should I call the family doctor over to have a look?” “Don’t bother. My oldbones can still take this fall. Furthermore, a kind-hearted lass already applied some pain-relief balm forme. It should be fine now.” Hearing that, the servant relaxed, but she didn’t see the lass she was talkingabout when she looked around. “Are we going home now, Old Madam?” Instantly, the old lady’s faceturned unreadable, and after a short pause, she answered, “We’re going back. If I don’t, that little fox athome will flip the house over.”

“Okay, Old Madam.” After the old lady climbed into the car, the engine started and the car slowly rolledout. … Back at her dorm, Elise had just poured herself a glass of water when a knock came at herdoor. Startled, she asked, “Who is it?” Following that, she heard a familiar voice answering her. “Miss

Sinclair, it’s me!” Upon opening the door, she saw Rowena standing outside respectfully. With knittedbrows, she asked, “Ms. Johnson, how did you replace out where I live?” “I asked the dorm manager,” sheexplained. Secretly, Elise was a little annoyed because she felt that Rowena was stalking her, and shecouldn’t get rid of her.

“Sorry to interrupt, Miss Sinclair, but Miss Faye has been waiting for a long time, and she sent me overspecially to invite you.” With a knot between Elise’s brows, an aloof look washed over her face. “Ms.Johnson, just tell me why you’re here.” In reply, she smiled and said, “Miss Faye wants to invite youover to catch up.” Just when Elise wanted to turn her down, she heard Faye’s voice calling her. “MissSinclair!” She reached her the same time as her voice did, then she turned to Rowena. “Please leaveus for now. I would like to chat with Miss Sinclair in private.” Very politely, Rowena left the spot, leavingthe both of them standing at the door.

Smiling softly, Faye asked, “Aren’t you going to invite me to take a seat in your dorm?” Opening thedoor, Elise invited her in. “Please take a seat, Miss Anderson.” Faye pulled out her chair and ploppedherself onto it. “Miss Sinclair, I’m sorry to interrupt you.” On the other hand, Elise was verystraightforward. “Is anything the matter, Miss Anderson? If it’s anything regarding the follow-up on thewedding dress, you can tell me your specific requirements should there be anything that needsalteration.” Faye interjected, “About the wedding dress, I don’t think there will be any problem with yourexquisite skills.

The reason I’m here today is for my mother.” At the mention of that, she appeared very worried. “MissSinclair, I won’t be looking for you if I had any other way out, but the truth is, I can’t think of any othersolution for this.” Elise pursed her lips and asked, “Miss Anderson, what do you need me to do?” A sighescaped her lips, and she looked sad as she spoke. “As you know, my mother’s condition isn’t lookingso good, but she keeps thinking about you. If that weren’t the case, I wouldn’t have kept looking foryou. I would like to ask a favor of you, Miss Sinclair.”

Her eyes slowly moistened up. “The situation in my family is a little complicated; both my dad andbrother are still hospitalized, so now, my mother is my only concern. I’m begging you, Miss Sinclair. Willyou please help me?” As a person who would easily succumb to persuasion, Elise couldn’t help butfeel a little sad when she saw Faye looking so distressed because of her mother. Brought up by hergrandparents since she was young, she had no attachments toward her parents. Even though she wasonce envious of peers showered with love from their parents, she simply didn’t have any experiencewith this. “Miss Anderson, please tell me directly what you would like me to do.”

Grabbing her hand, Faye said, “My mother couldn’t get over my younger sister who had passed away.Her name is the only thing she kept repeating in her current state, and she has already assumed thatyou’re her daughter.” Now, it became clear to Elise. “So, you’re here to ask me to pose as your sister?”“Yes, but don’t worry because it won’t take up much of your time. Just coming to my house once aweek will do. As for the payment, I can pay you a million upfront.” A million is an astronomical figure fora university student, Faye thought. This is an offer I can’t reject.

However, Elise simply answered, “Miss Anderson, I can do you this favor if it came from your devotiontoward your mother, but if it’s a transaction, I’m sorry but I’ll have to turn you down.” Her answerpuzzled Faye. “Miss Sinclair, I don’t really understand what you mean.” “Miss Anderson, I can help youout, but I don’t want to turn this pure relationship between a mother and her daughter into atransaction,” Elise answered.

After pausing for a second, Faye said, “I understand what you mean now. I’m sorry, Miss Sinclair. Did Ido something wrong? Please don’t get it wrong because I don’t mean anything else. I merely want tocompensate you within my capabilities.” Elise pressed her lips together before saying, “It’s alright.Forget the compensation.a

But I can only promise you that I’ll make time to visit during this semester…” “That’s fine! Thanks foryour help!” Faye uttered, whereupon Elise gave her a nod. Then, Faye suddenly stood up and asked,

“Miss Sinclair, are you free now?”
