Bring Your A Game Mr Chapter 171
Find Some Time for the Game
Ever since Jonah passed on, Alexander became exceptionally busy. In the past, he had time to send
Elise to school but nowadays, he couldn’t even spare that ten minutes of his time.
Just then, it was Danny’s turn to send Elise to school again. “Boss, it’s nearly time for our final exam.
Let’s go and study together at the library in the afternoon.”
Elise, however, stared at the bare trees outside the window and pondered, I can’t believe that winter is
almost over.
“Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, right?” Elise mentioned in passing. Just then, Danny quickly looked at the
calendar and replied, “Yes, it’s the twenty-fourth tomorrow and it’ll be Christmas the day after tomorrow.
It’s been forecasted that it’ll snow on Christmas. I wonder whether we’ll be able to experience a white
Christmas this year?”
Meanwhile, Elise retracted her gaze. “I checked the weather forecast and it seems that there will be
snow this year. Let’s wait and see.”
They exited the car and walked side-by-side toward the school. As soon as they arrived at the
ssroom, they noticed everyone crowded around talking amongst themselves. “Apparently the TV
program that Samantha starred in is going to be aired on Mango TV tonight. We must show our support
tonight.”
“Samantha has good acting skills. I’ve seen the trailer and it piqued my interest, so I’m definitely going
to watch the program tonight.”
Meanwhile, Elise pulled out her chair and took a seat. Just then, Mika rushed forward and said,
“Samantha’s TV program will be aired tonight. Let’s celebrate the asion with her.”
Elise hummed in response. “This is the first show she’s starred in and she has done a great job. I’ll
arrange for some flowers to be sent to herter.”
“Okay! I’m going to get her a present too,” Mika chimed in. At that moment, she scrutinized Elise
carefully before murmuring, “Elise, does Jack have any new eventstely?”
Just then, Elise lifted her head and stared at Mika. “Don’t tell me that you’re unaware of your
husband’s schedule?”
Upon hearing that, Mika was slightly embarrassed. “H-How would I know his schedule?! Well, I
heard that he seems to be quite busytely.”
Meanwhile, Elise could kind of sense that there was something wrong behind these words. “Mika,
what’s up with youtely? You seem to care a lot about Jacktely, don’t you?” She’s never behaved
this way before.
Just then, Mika—whose inner thoughts were revealed—hastily tried to cover it up. “What are you
rambling on about? I just wanted to find out his schedule, that’s all. It’s not asplicated as you think
it is.”
Elise could somehow sense that something was off, but she noticed that Mika was reluctant to talk
about it so she didn’t persist. After all, it was winter right now and spring wasn’t too far away, so the
season of love was beckoning too.
“Let’s spend Christmas Eve together tomorrow,” Elise suggested. However, Mika immediately
rejected her suggestion. “I’m busy tomorrow. I-I have something else on.”
Elise had intended to ask Mika out for some shopping and to catch a movie. Since thetter had
something else on, she could only let it slide.
“Alright, then. You should go along with what you have nned. I’ll be fine celebrating by myself.”
Upon hearing that, Mika stuck her tongue out and had a slightly guilty expression on her face. Well, I
can’t possibly tell Elise that I have a date with Jack, can I?
…
Christmas Eve this year was exceptionally cold. One could see the snowy white scene outside upon
pushing open the window. Elise put on a thick down jacket before going down the stairs.
After Jonah’s passing, she had hardly seen Alexander. Unexpectedly though, today, he was eating
breakfast at the dining table.
Stunned, Elise went forward and made the move to greet him. “Good morning!”
He merely grunted in response before adding, “I’ll send you to schoolter.”
She didn’t say anything further, only pulled out a chair to take a seat. Just then, she scrutinized his face
as she ate breakfast.
“Is there something on my face? Why are you staring at me like that?” Alexander said while lifting his
head, his eyes meeting hers. Meanwhile, Elise was slightly embarrassed and she quickly shifted her
gaze. “It’s nothing. I just haven’t seen you in so long and I noticed that you seemed to have lost some
weight.”
Alexander was indeed too busy over this period of time. Since Jonah passed away, there had been
some issues at thepany and some of their old employees started to be quite restless and
raring to make a move. It had taken him quite some effort to handle thepany matters and finally,
after sorting out everything, he could now gradually rx after being in a tense situation for such a long
time.
“How is schooltely?”
Elise nodded and replied, “It’s alright. I’m about to sit for my final exam so I’m busy with revision.”
“You’re in your final year so it’s quite normal to be more stressed out, but I have faith in your abilities.
I’m sure that you’ll be fine.”
In response, Elise pursed her lips and smiled. After finishing her breakfast, she ced down her cutlery
and announced, “I’m full. I’ll wait for you outside.”
As she said that, she got up and immediately headed toward the door to walk outside. Shortly after
that, Alexander came out too.
Both of them got into the car but neither of them said a word. As soon as the car came to a stop in front
of the school entrance, Elise unbuckled her seat belt and murmured, “I’ll head to school now.”
Suddenly, Alexander called out her name and mentioned, “Do you have time tonight? Let’s have dinner
together.”
Elise blinked her eyes repeatedly and hesitated for a few seconds before finally replying, “Sure.”
“I’ll pick you up in the afternoon.”
She then nodded and got out of the car.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in school was full of cheer and festivity. As soon as she entered the
ssroom, many of her ssmates rushed forward and handed her apples that were wrapped prettily.
“Here you go, Elise. Happy Christmas Eve!”
Elise received the apples with an abashed look on her face. “Thank you!” she replied.
Unexpectedly, each of her ssmates started to give her apples one after the other soon after that. In
no time, her drawer was filled to the brim.
“Wow! Boss, you really are popr! That’s a lot of apples that you’ve received.” Danny said with an
envious tone.
He then looked down at his drawer and there were merely around five apples inside.
Just then, Elise was slightly surprised too. “The act of eating an apple on Christmas Eve symbolizes
peace and serenity, so you should eat as much as you can.”
He grunted in response and shortly after that, he took out a nicely wrapped box from somewhere and
handed it to her. “Happy Christmas Eve, Boss.”
Meanwhile, Elise was quite surprised that he had prepared an apple for her too and she swiftly took it
from him. “Thanks!”
Danny smiled and replied, “It’s part of my job as your underling but then again, I hope you haven’t
forgotten about your promise from before, Boss.”
Just then, Elise was clearly quite confused but Danny continued, “It’s nearly time for our final exam and
we really need to find some time for the game.”
Oh—that’s what he meant! Without his reminder, Elise had nearly forgotten about that. There had been
so many things that happened recently and she was quite flummoxed by everything.
“Sure. You need to work harder, then.”
“Don’t worry, Boss. I’m quite confident that I’ll be able to achieve one of the top three positions in
ss,” Danny vowed.
Elise was also quite encouraged by his motivated spirit and she became much more focused in ss.
Before ss ended, she received a text message from Alexander and once she clicked into it, she saw
that he merely stated, ‘I’ll wait for you at the school entrance.’
As soon as Elise saw that sentence, she shuddered and in the end, she decided to skip herst period
of self-study and sneaked out of the room.
