,Coolest Girl in Town
Brendan hastily elaborated, “Alex, what are you saying? No matter what, I wouldn’t dare to bully Elise.”
However, he already understood that Elise’s position in his elder brother’s heart had far surpassed that
of his brothers. The two people were talking when the door of the dressing room was opened. Soon,
Elise gracefully appeared in front of them in a white dress and they stared at her in awe at once.
Alexander’s gaze was full of appreciation; when he saw the dress before its alteration, he had already
appreciated Brendan’s skills in design.
Now that he saw the improved piece today, he only felt that Elise was more capable than Brendan. “Not
bad,” he complimented. “It’s gorgeous.” As for Brendan, he was filled with incredulity. He was aware of
his own design skills and that he was definitely one of the best designers in the country, but when he
saw this dress in front of him, he had to admit that he had been too conceited. Elise’s design was very
bold as she incorporated traditional craftsmanship into her work, which enhanced the entire gown’s
artistic sense. Moreover, with her alluring figure, the gown looked absolutely flawless.
If his gown could be called a good design, then Elise’s modification had only transformed into a work of
art. “Elise, I finally understand the meaning of your words. Your choice of material is not only light, but
also beautiful while lending a floaty, airy sense to the dress,” he spoke with conviction. Then, he went
up and carefully looked at the dress before noticing that all the stitches were done by hand, yet there
wasn’t a slightest problem with it. So, it was clear that her skills were definitely not lower than his. “How
did you manage to finish such gorgeous work in one day, Elise?”
When she saw that everyone was satisfied with her work, Elise replied, “Actually, I only made certain
modifications from your design. It has already achieved the effect I wanted, so what do you think of it?”
“I didn’t expect you to have such talent in design.” Alexander nodded in approval. “However, this
embroidery style of yours seems a bit familiar.” He felt that he had seen it somewhere before whereas
Elise reacted in time. She knew that her own works would always bear remnants of her unique style,
but as Alexander and Brendan might not have seen any of her works before, she replied, “I just thought
it looks perfect, therefore I embroidered it.”
Alexander didn’t think much about it and replied, “This dress suits you well, so wear it.” Brendan also
added, “Alex, since this dress was modified by Elise, we’ll exempt the design fee, but Elise, I want to
discuss with you about something. Once your engagement party is over, will you leave this dress in my
store as a showcase of our designs?” Elise didn’t have any opinion because engagement dresses like
this were only worn once in a lifetime, so it was fine to display it in his store. “Sure, I will do that.” He
was overjoyed when he obtained her consent.
Then, Alexander mentioned, “Go and change out of the dress; I’m going to take you somewhere.” After
she nodded, she went to the dressing room, after which she entered the car from the design studio.
Then, the car started before they drove out. “Where are we going?” Alexander wore a mysterious look.
“You’ll know in a moment.” As she felt that he had always been mysterious, she casually asked, “Did
you prepare a surprise for me?” He nodded without any hesitation. “Yes.” Upon hearing that, Elise did
not hold back a snort of laughter. “I was pulling your leg.
Why did you say yes?” However, Alexander clarified, “I’m not joking with you! I’ve truly prepared a
surprise for you.” This time, it was her turn to be dumbfounded. There is really a surprise? Thus, she
also began to wonder what the surprise was. The car slowly drove to the most high-end shopping mall
in Athesea. Before alighting from the vehicle, Alexander deliberately removed the ID card in his wallet
and placed it in his pocket. Then, both he and Elise got out of the car. When they arrived at the mall,
she had roughly guessed why they came—it was probably that Alexander wanted to buy her
something.
She thought of many possibilities such as clothes, bags, and lipstick… The only thing she did not
expect was that he actually brought her to pick out diamonds. Alexander took her to a high-end
diamond ring customization center of Dring’s and as soon as the sales lady entered, she spoke
enthusiastically, “President Griffith, you’re here.” “Are all the things I asked you to prepare ready?” She
answered, “It’s ready. It’s over here, so come this way please.”
With that, the sales lady took Alexander and Elise to the VIP room and took out a delicate small box to
hand it to him the moment they arrived. “President Griffith, this is the one.” The moment Alexander
opened it, a pink diamond glittered in front of everyone’s eyes. It was a large and dazzling pink
diamond, to which Elise fancied a lot. Suddenly, she saw him kneeling on one knee and presenting the
ring to her as he asked, “Miss Elise Sinclair, are you willing to marry me?”
Elise had imagined the scene of being proposed to countless times, but she never thought that this day
would come so quickly and suddenly. Hence, she was completely caught off guard. “You… What are
you doing? Get up!” She was a little anxious; although it was only the two of them, she still felt a little
embarrassed. However, he simply said, “This diamond is 5.2 carats large and is the one that I’ve
painstakingly chosen for you as the most suitable engagement gift.
I am willing to give you a lifetime commitment because a man can only customize one diamond ring
from Dring in his lifetime using his ID card. Therefore, I am willing to bind this diamond ring to my ID
number, meaning that you are my only true love in this lifetime.” When she saw him being serious,
disbelief danced in her eyes. In fact, his eyes had also clearly reflected her shock and at this moment,
her heart was touched by what he said. “Miss Elise Sinclair, are you willing to marry me?” he asked
again. Elise looked at him and broke into a smile as their gazes met.
Then, she nodded solemnly. “I am!” Upon hearing this, Alexander slowly inserted the diamond ring on
the ring finger of her left hand before Elise pulled him to his feet. This was followed by Alexander
handing his ID card and bank card to the sales lady. “I’ll take this diamond. Go ahead and swipe the
card.” The sales lady had a delighted expression as she hastily took both items. “Of course, President
Griffith.”
After she left, Elise pulled the corner of Alexander’s coat and asked in a small voice, “This diamond
should be very expensive, right?” Alexander rubbed her head and responded with a slightly doting
tone, “Diamonds have a price, but you are priceless. Compared to you, it is just insignificant.”
