Bring Your A Game Mr Chapter 494
I’m Here to Protect You
The door mmed shut with a loud, ruthless thud that sent a jolt through Owen. He returned to his
senses and his exquisite facial features darkened. Did Elise just abandon me for a weak, sissy man?
Wait a minute! Her fiancé is Alexander, so why is she so intimate with that man?
From their attitude toward each other, Owen could feel the duo avoiding each other, as if they had
something to hide. Is it possible that Elise is cheating on Alexander with this man? It’s good news if that
is the case. This proves that Elise and Alexander’s rtionship is not as stable as I thought. However, I
don’t think she is as pure and innocent as I assumed.
From Elise’s strengths, she was, without a doubt, a woman of many talents who was good enough for
Owen. However, he despised her slightly for her messy private rtionships. At the thought of the both
of them having fun on their own even after getting married, Owen left her room quietly.
Meanwhile, behind the closed door, Elise had been leaning against the peephole as she kept watch on
the corridor. Upon seeing Owen turn around, she finally heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, she
narrowed her eyes dangerously at Keh, who was currently against the wall as she held him by the
neck.
“After he gets into the elevator, you have no chance of staying here, understand?”
Keh, however, smiled indecently and raised his other hand to stroke her hand that was mped on
his neck. This made Elise quickly loosen her grip and retract her hand as she thundered, “You jerk!”
With that, she remembered that Owen was not that far from them, so she lowered her voice. “Keh,
there’s a limit to my patience,” she warned. “Don’t you go around assuming that I won’t dare to kill you!”
Keh’s lips twitched into a taunting smile as he countered, “Go ahead, then. Even if I’m dead, I will
be a flirty ghost.”
Speechless, Elise narrowed her eyes again. “If you don’t know the meaning of the words, don’t simply
say them.”
Keh looked like his parents were of different nationalities and he was raised abroad when he was
younger, so he likely did not fully grasp thenguage. However, he took two steps towards her as he
purred, “What do you mean? Why don’t you teach me, Miss Sinir?”
The passage leading to the door was neither narrow nor wide, but as the both of them stood opposite
to each other, they were not that far from each other. Now that Keh had gotten closer to her, Elise
was forced to take a few steps back until her back leaned against the wall. His warm breathnded on
her face, making her ears tingle.
She averted her gaze rationally and turned her palms around. In an instant, a silver needle was
wedged between her fingers.
Suddenly, a huge, warm hand wrapped around her hand that was holding the needle. His callused
hand felt slightly rough when he touched her wless skin. Surprisingly, this inexplicably calmed her
down. Her thoughts of killing him off, as well as her anger, disappeared in that instant.
“Stop poking me with all your sharp edges. I’m here to protect you.” Keh looked at her with his
earnest and honest ck eyes.
Thump! Thump, thump! What is the noisy sound? Oh—it’s my heartbeat.
Elise raised her head to look at Keh nkly. In that instantly, a familiar feeling surged through her,
as if she was facing Alexander right now.
Her short-lived calmness dissolved into a frantic mess the moment she realized that. How can I fall for
two guys simultaneously?
“No!”
Troubled by her own thoughts, Elise didn’t realize that she yelled out loud. Then, she quickly shook his
hands off and turned around to open the door of her room to force herself not to look at Keh.
“You’d better disappear from my sight this instant!”
Keh’s face darkened as he felt that something was off. This time around, Elise was very different
compared to the times she got annoyed by his teasing. He had no clue where he had stepped over the
line, but he knew very well that he could not continue this any further. Hence, he walked to the door
without another word. When he reached the door, he turned around to look at her, his expression
worried.
However, what greeted him was Elise’s icy, firm expression as she shut the door in his face. An
inexplicable pain suddenly shot through his heart, making him have a hard time breathing.
After a while only did Keh turn around, something shing in his gaze as he walked away in huge
strides.
On the other hand, Elise leaned against the door listening to the sound of his footsteps getting faint, a
deep frown on her face. What is wrong with me? Why do I feel attracted to a man who already has a
girlfriend? I shouldn’t harbor such feelings!
…
The next day, the gem auction event continued smoothly.
A day had passed and many people were sessful in their auctions and managed to get what they
wanted. Because of this, the auction gained a lot of poprity and attracted people who wanted to get
rich overnight.
Some of them stayed there from the beginning without any urge of leaving—they were all gamling
fanatics who were unwilling to leave without seeing the precious prizes.
Nevertheless, even without the prizes, if they hung in there until the very end, they could watch the
match between Elise and Ziggy. After all, the only thing that humans nevercked was curiosity.
At ten o’clock, Elise finally appeared at the auction site, the venue crowded with attendees. As soon as
she walked past them, she elicited a rather bigmotion from the people who were gossiping about
her.
“There she is! I already told you that this youngdy will not let us down.”
“It’s quite dramatic indeed. Ziggy already brought his secret weapon, yet Elise still doesn’t know that
she is going to suffer a terrible defeat. My heart breaks whenever I think of such a beautifuldy
weeping because she lost. Hahaha!”
Though Elise heard their conversation, she pretended as though she didn’t and walked past them
calmly without speaking a word.
Meanwhile, Tom, who was walking toward her, could not keep his cool.

“Miss Sinir, you already know that Ziggy brought his secret weapon. His ancestors are all important
customers of the gem auction event. An average person cannot even imagine his connections in this
industry. I’m sure his secret weapon this time around is impressive.”
Tom’s brows were furrowed together and he had a hopeless expression.
“Is that so? Is the secret weapon better than me?” Elise merely asked indifferently with a confident
expression.
Tom was speechless upon seeing her attitude. Have you forgotten that the crowdughed for the entire
day at the gem you opened yesterday?
Her blind confidence and courage made him sigh continuously as he walked. He did not have any
hopes in her at this point, and he was just hoping that she could get lucky and not embarrass them.
However, before he could say something, Elise let out another loud yawn. He was torn between
amusement and anxiety as he could guess what she was going to say.
Sure enough, she rubbed her hands together and said, “The air-conditioning is so cold that it makes
me sleepy. I guess it’s better for me to go back and take a nap.”
Just like yesterday, she confirmed the crowd’s suspicions openly and walked toward the entrance,
leaving Tom alone in his fight.
At that point, Tom was utterly speechless. It’s not reliable to depend on Boss. As an employee, I have
to depend on my own hard work.
After cheering himself up, he walked back to the hall to pick from a collection of gemstones.
