Bring Your A Game Mr Chapter 498
Exclusively Elise’s
Elise could feel her face burning. After inhaling deeply, she changed the topic. “Don’t sweet-talk me.
Are you done with your business over there? I’m almost done here. Do you want me to go over to help
you?”
“There’s no need. I’m almost done too. Let’s meet up in Athesea,” Keh replied.

“Alright, then. You’d better attend to your business.” She shrugged, unfazed by his rejection. However,
as if she was suddenly recalling something, Elise dropped her usual gentleness and growled, “But you
are not allowed to flirt with other women. Do you hear me?”
Keh was stunned to hear that at first but when he returned to his senses, he grinned even wider.
“Sure. When I get back, I’ll have Cameron make a sign that says ‘Exclusively Elise’s’. I’ll hang it over
my neck and carry it around. What do you think?”
This sessfully made Eliseugh. “Won’t that make you a pet dog? Only dogs wear nametes.”
“I’m not a dog, but I’m your pet. By wearing a namete, when someone dares toy a hand on me,
other people will know to inform you to take me home.” He coaxed her, treating her like a child as he
subconsciously slowed down his pace.
At a hallway far away from where Keh was, Melody took notice of the wide grin on Keh’s face
from afar. It made her frown, as if she was looking at a monster.
Here we go again—the same old trick of giving a reward after a punishment.
Even without him having to tell her, Melody knew that Keh must have asked for the ‘punishment’
on his own ord.
She pouted, a look of disgust on her face. Perhaps Mr. Bailey has a slight fetish for self-abuse. I bet no
one could tell that from how he looks…
Meanwhile, Elise, who was delighted to hear his sweet words, yed along. “Sure, I’ll have to buy
some rope and tie you by my side for the rest of your life.”
Keh stopped in his tracks, his voice as tender as a silk garment that slid across ady’s delicate
skin. “If that’s true, I can’t wait for it to happen.” He briefly paused before he added, “Ellie, I can’t wait to
devote my whole life to you.”
Elise pursed her lips in utter embarrassment. “Alright, alright. I know. Considering that you are so madly
in love with me, I promise you that I won’t fall for anyone else no matter how tempting it is.”
“Is there anyone you find even more tempting than me?” Keh joked deliberately.
“Of course there is. You’re such a narcissist!” Elise blurted out but when she thought about it, she had
to admit that a good-looking and capable man like Alexander was indeed a rare gem.
Although Keh had excellent capabilities, he was a yboy who loved to flirt around and he couldn’t
even protect himself. Hence, he did not even hold a candle to Alexander. D*mn it! Why am I thinking
about that b*stard named Keh now? How could I think of another man when I’m on a call with
Alexander?
The realization made Elise feel uneasy and it put a tight furrow between her brows. Her good mood
suddenly disappeared and she became depressed once again.
Keh, who was clueless about her mood changes, continued to prattle on, his tone reflecting his
longingness. “You have to be good and ensure you’re not taken away by others. Otherwise, I’ll hang a
sign on you as well.”
“I will.” Elise’s tone was adamant, but she herself couldn’t tell if she said this more to herself or
Alexander.
“Ha! I’m just joking. Of course I have faith in you. Alright, I have to get back to work now. I’ll call you
again.”
“Sure.”
After Elise had said that, Keh hung up. He put the phone in his pocket, the smile on his face
dimming.
“You went to provoke Mrs. Bailey-to-be again, didn’t you?” Melody teased.
Keh darted a look at her, a shadow of a smile by his lips. “Calling her Mrs. Bailey-to-be is not very
appropriate. It’s easier to call her Mrs. Bailey instead, since there won’t be any other candidate for the
position.”
“If that’s the case, I’ll call her Mrs. Bailey when we see her at the gem auction event, then,” Melody
said.
Upon hearing that, Keh chuckled as he muttered, “You may if you want me to die.” Then, he
moved away his hand that was concealing the stab wound, revealing the soiled blood stain on his
clothes.
“Boss”
“Boss, what happened?! I’ll get a doctor right away!” Melody’s expression instantly became serious.
“There’s no need.” He shook his head. “Let’s go in first. Contact Cameron in a bit and ask him to bring
a doctor along when hees to pick me up. Make sure to keep a low profile so that nobody finds out
about this.”
Melody frowned at his words, but she nodded and agreed to him without questioning his decision.
“Alright.” With that, she turned on her heel and quickly opened the door, ushering Keh into the
room.
Upon seeing how nervous she was, he let out ament of self-mockery. “You only remember that I’m
your boss when I’m in a life or death situation.”
Melody pulled a long face, unable to squeeze out even a tiny smile. “Please be serious. It’s not a good
time to make jokes.”
He shrugged. “Alright, then. Can’t you put on a show for a little longer and don’t lecture me all the
time…”
Meanwhile, Elise fell into a daze thatsted for a long time after Alexander’s voice had disappeared.
What is it about Keh? I understand myself well enough to know that it would be impossible for me
to fall in love with two people at the same time. However, why did Keh’s name enter my
subconscious so easily? I don’t love him, yet I can’t ignore him. What’s wrong with me?
Elise dragged herself to her room, feeling muddle headed. When she inadvertently nced at the clock
on the wall, she paused for three seconds before she shouted, “What the heck? It’s 11.00 AM already?”
It was thest day of the gem auction event and they hadn’t even found a single rough stone. She had
to depart right away, else she would bete.
It’s all that damned Keh’s fault! It’s his fault that I went to bed sotest night. He’d better hope
that we don’t meet again today, else I will skin him alive!
…
At 11.30 AM, the entrance into the hall was already packed like sardines.
Everyone tried to squeeze into the hall. Upon seeing Elise jogging in their direction, they started to
squeeze their way inside more eagerly, struggling to reach the innermost part of the hall to get the best
view to watch the uing show.
“Our female lead has finally arrived!”
“Everyone, open your eyes wide and look over there—our beauty is here!”
“Oh my, it really is her! I thought that she chickened out after Ziggy’s outstanding result yesterday after
he managed to find a few good-quality jadeite!”
“Who are you toment about her? She ventures into danger knowing what she will face. You all
should learn from her; she stilles even when she knows that she will lose. This sort of dedication
and spirit of selflessness. Which one of you has anything simr to that?”
“I admit that I’m no match for her. Even if I have the intention topete with her, I have to first
possess that face and figure!”
Words of mockery were heard from the crowd. Tom, who heard themotion, came over and
immediately spotted Elise.
He ran toward her inrge steps and cried like a man grasping at straws, “Miss Sinir, you have
finally shown up. I thought that you were going to give up!”
Elise panted a little as she had run all the way there. She lifted her hand and waved at him as she said,
“Stay calm. I’m exhaustedtely so I slept in a bit. We still have some time, so let’s go and choose our
rough stone.”
As soon as the two of them stepped into the hall, they heard a loudermotion inside.
“There’s four!”
“Victory is within Ziggy’s grasp! After adding those that he found previously, he now has four top-quality
rough stones. I reckon that nothing will go wrong with the few remaining rough stones, so I’m sure that
he will win!”
“I don’t see the girl around. Could it be that she chickened out?”
Expression indifferent, Elise darted a look in the direction where the stones would be broken open.
Currently, Ziggy was enjoying the crowds’pliments, and quietly standing next to him was a woman.
The woman was no stranger to Elise—it was none other than Tina, the woman whom she had met
yesterday.
