The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 785

On this day in September, there was a gentle breeze and slight drizzle. It brought a lot of cool air to Michigan that had been hot and humid. Alex Rockefeller sat in front of a glass window in a cafe while he looked at the pedestrians walking past in a hurry as it drizzled outside. The small cafe’s decorations didn’t seem to cost a lot. Apart from a female waitress in her thirties and the female boss, there were three long legged women who looked like university students. Although they were dressed up very nicely, Alex had no eyes for them. His mind was completely focused on the music that was being played in the cafe. The song was none other than Zendaya Stoermer’s ‘Three Lifetimes’. “Wendy, check that handsome guy out. He hasn’t looked in our direction once since he came in. I bet his relationship just ended.” “What’s the matter? Are you attracted to him? Why don’t you try flirting with him? It might develop into a beautiful and touching love story worthy of being turned into a love song. However, I’m afraid he might ignore you.” “Tsk. I’m Mira Sands. I can guarantee that I’ll take him down.” The two female university students couldn’t take their eyes off Alex. They seemed very attracted to him. However, the girl who sat in the innermost section had an indifferent and disdainful look in her eyes. When she saw that her friends really were going to stand up, she hurriedly tugged at them. “Save it, you two. You two still have terrible judgement despite being with me for so long. I don’t know what to say anymore. That fellow is definitely a broke dude. He’s just sitting there to act cool. If you go over, you’ve fallen for his trap. Do you think I can’t tell he’s just deliberately pretending to be depressed?” She said cynically. “Huh?” “Lucy Quinton, how could you tell?” The girl by the name of Lucy Quinton snorted. “Look at his clothes. He’s wearing an old design of Adidas’ sportswear, and his shoes are an outdated version from Nike. Everything he wears adds up to less than a thousand dollars. He’s only ordered a glass of lemon juice since he came in, and he’s been sitting there for nearly an hour… What else could he be but a broke dude? I’m telling you, if you want to find a boyfriend, you must set your eyes on the right target. Men like him are either liars or broke dudes.” Clearly, Lucy had more influence in the group. After the two friends heard what she said, they immediately dismissed their ideas. When they looked at Alex again, their gazes were full of contempt and disdain. “You two just haven’t seen enough. Come on, it’s Zendaya Stoermer’s engagement party in two days. It’s Michigan’s Stoermer family we’re talking about. My family is considered respectable in Michigan too, and we’re on the invitation list. When the time comes, I’ll bring you both along so you can learn a few things,” Lucy said. “Woah! Zendaya Stoermer’s engagement party, are you for real? Lucy, I love you!” To be honest, Alex was able to hear everything those girls said clearly. But he didn’t care. He was here waiting for someone. That person was none other than Zendaya Stoermer! Previously, he gave Xyla Stoermer a call, asking for her help to arrange a meeting with Zendaya… Naturally, he didn’t tell Xyla the truth. If he told Xyla that he wanted to find out if Zendaya was pregnant with his child, he was afraid he might be hammered to death. Hence, he told Xyla that he wanted to inquire about the advertisement for Lush Cosmetics. It was not until then that Xyla found out Zendaya actually endorsed the products of Alex’s family business. However, half an hour had already passed since the appointed time of their meeting. Zendaya still hadn’t appeared yet. The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Right then, a global, limited edition Ferrari race car gradually came to a halt in front of the cafe. A graceful woman walked out of the car. The three girls sitting behind Alex, who were not far away from the glass window, were instantly drawn to the luxury car and the beautiful woman outside. “It’s a Ferrari! It looks like the global, limited edition F911 that’s worth over 15 million dollars!” Wendy Jonas exclaimed with her eyes wide open. To blend in with the circle of the rich and famous, she had studied voraciously about various luxury cars on the internet, and she let her words slip out of her mouth. “That woman is absolutely beautiful too. She looks so elegant. Her clothes… Aren’t those Giorgio Armani that are handmade in Italy? She’s a rich woman… Lucy, this person seems to be even richer than you. Why would she come to a place like this? Could it be who that man is waiting for?” Mira Sands was a student of fashion. After being reprimanded by Lucy earlier, Mira immediately played to her strengths and commented on the woman who showed up. Lucy finally got a good look at the woman and her eyes narrowed.
