Gossip Girl Reborn (Isabella and Alexander)

Chapter Gossip 248



Chapter 248 Abnormal Thinking Finished

"Why didn't you tell me?" Clifford was somewhat displeased. He wasn't too satisfied with the reunion either, especially since Elaine had saved Zendaya. They should be confronting each other right now instead of this wind situation. Had I known earlier that Elaine would come I'd have certainly made good use of the opportunity.

When his train of thought ended there, Clifford suddenly felt an unease stirring within him. His gaze involuntarily swept over Zendaya, who was standing quietly to the side with her head lowered. I knew it Despite what Zendaya said earlier, she thinks only of me. Otherwise, she wouldn't have uddenly felt inferior and become quiet upon seeing Elaine. I bet she realized that there no way she can return to my side noe that Elaine har returned. She shouldn't have tried to have a temper tantrum with me. Not everyone can play hard to get. Even if she cries now, I can't be soft-hearted with her anymore.

Isabella was confused when she noticed Clifford stealing glances at Zendaya, so she decided to use her power. As a result, she almost fainted from holding back her laughter. She's just trying not to be involved by lowering her head awkwardly. Besides, she's currently a service staff on duty. Now that the issue has been resolved, it's only natural that she stepped aside, waiting to serve. Is Clifford seriously expecting her to enter the spotlight and put on a show? Zendaya, lift your head quickly. Let him see if there are tears on your face. Otherwise, you'll be subject to slander, which is more terrifying than serual rumors!

With a numb expression, Alexander patted Isabella's back, responding to Clifford's earlier question in an even more weary tone. "I mentioned it, but you didn't ask."

Clifford was about to say something but was abruptly interrupted by Isabella.

Isabella felt that if she didn't speak up, she would die laughing. "Are you all right, Zeya?"

Zendaya lifted her head, her countenance devoid of any signs of melancholy. Instead, she said anxiously. "I'm fine."

Isabella then said, "Can you please bring a glass of wine for Elaine?"

Elaine glanced over and ordered a drink with a smile, interacting with Zendaya in a natural manner.

Zendaya immediately responded with a sweet smile and then turned around to prepare the drink.

The atmosphere gradually returned to that of the party when the crowd noticed there wasn't any more gossip to indulge in.

Meanwhile, Clifford was dumbfounded by the harmonious scene and the lack of conflict between Zendaya and Elaine. This shouldn't have happened!

I bet you're surprised. Those two don't care about you. Please, stop your wild imaginations. Isabella grinned.

At that moment, Elaine paid no attention to Clifford. Instead, she moved directly to Isabella's side, grinning as she pulled out her phone to show off a picture of a handsome guy.

"Since you're an artist in the entertainment industry, do you know him?" Elaine asked excitedly, her eyes practically sparkling.

Isabella was stunned, not understanding why Elaine suddenly blurted out such a sentence.

When the perceptive Clifford heard that, he turned his blazing gaze toward the two women.

3" Tanhalla a-be.

The others also shifted their attention to the two.

The edge of Deborah's lips twitched when she saw the photo because that handsome guy was just Elaine's type.

"This is what held me up earlier. I ran into him as soon as I stepped out. I found him quite appealing, so I tried to strike up a conversation, but his manager stopped me. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with local celebrities. It'll be great if you could introduce me to him." Elaine said, then acted as though she was ready.

for a romantic chase.

Elaine's voice was loud enough for all her surrounding friends to hear what she said.

The atmosphere suddenly fell into an ceric silence.

That was a development Isabella didn't anticipate. She stealthily cast a glance around and discovered she wasn't the only one sneaking peeks. Others were doing the same.

It seemed as though everyone could hear the sound of a heart shattering into pieces.

K.O.! Clifford should understand what's going on now. Isabella thought.

As expected, Clifford's expression changed. It was as if there was a fire in his eyes as he stared at Elaine. Even when Millie tried to pull him back to his seat out of jealousy, he completely ignored her.

At that moment, Zendaya came over, carrying the drink that Elaine had ordered.

Just as Elaine was about to thank Zendaya, she paused. A look of confusion and resignation settled on her countenance as she tapped her long fingernails against the wine glass.

She then addressed Zendaya, who was about to step aside. "Could you pour me another cup, Pretty?"

Zendaya was already feeling nervous serving Elaine. Upon hearing Elaine's request, she responded, "Is there a problem with this drink?"

Isabella was also perplexed. Elaine seems friendly with Zendaya earlier. Why is the dissatisfied with the drink Zendaya prepared now?

Before Elaine could speak, Clifford suddenly appeared, slinging an arm over Zendaya's shoulder. He turned to Elaine with an "I knew it" expression, his voice cold as he said, "What's the meaning of this? Why are you targeting her deliberately? Elaine, don't tell me you didn't know she's my girlfriend?"

As soon as the crowd heard that, they were delighted and cheered in their minds for the start of more gossip.

Did his brain short-circuit again? Wait a minute. D*mn, did he think that Elaine was intentionally using another man's picture to provoke him and make him jealous? Is that why he's dragging Zendaya into his little play? My goodness, who's going to plug this guy's wild imagination? If he needs a sidekick, shouldn't he turn to Millie? Oh, he thinks that Elaine is troubling Zendaya right now, so he thinks involving Zendaya in his act will be most effective. Dimn. I don't know whether to call him smart or stupid, but he sure did get everything wrong! Isabella furrowed her

brows.

The sudden shift in the atmosphere had everyone on edge. After all, they all assumed Elaine had finally reached her limit and was about to confront her replacement,

Meanwhile, Clifford was also having a tiff with Elaine by using his rebound.

The world where only the replacements and rebounds got hurt had come to pass.

Upon hearing Isabella's thoughts, Alexander felt awkward for his buddy.

Elaine was dumbfounded after listening to what Clifford said.

She was no pushover and immediately said, "Clifford, do you have a loose screw in your head? First, I'm not targeting anyone. Second, isn't Millie your girlfriend right now? I saw you two holding hands earlier. How could it be this pretty lady? You guys are clearly ganging up on her." Having regained her senses, Zendaya swiftly turned and left Clifford's outstretched arm. It was as though she was avoiding a contagious disease, immediately distancing herself by three steps, signifying that there was no connection between her and Clifford. Deborah glanced over and came to her friend's defense. "The cocktail she ordered is usually served with lemon in our country, but not abroad. She must have forgotten to mention it when she ordered. She's allergic to lemons, you see."

Zendaya was originally still in shock, but that moment left her stunned. The look in her eyes flickered with a momentary change. She wanted to say something, but he stuck to the rules and kept her mouth shut.

Elaine playfully suggested, "Could you get me another one without lemon? Don't waste this one, though. I think you'll like it. It's on me."

"All right. I'll prepare a new one for you right now. However, I can't drink while I'm on duty. I'll save it for after work. Thank you, Ms. Graham, Zendaya replied.

"Don't call me Ms. Graham. Call me Elaine," Elaine said amiably.

Even Deborah could sense that Elaine seemed to have fallen for Zendaya.

The crowd was whispering among themselves, disappointed that there were no confrontations and that the rumors were fake.

Watching Elaine and Zendaya conversing affectionately, Clifford, who just a moment ago was ready for a confrontation, seemed like a mere backdrop at that moment, ignored by everyone.
