Bring Your A Game Mr Chapter 537
Chapter 537 Something Weird
Celina’s expression instantly turned icy as she stood outside the room. The corners of her lips lifted up
into a sneer. Thank me now, Elise. Your life will begin to go downhill and rot from this moment onwards!
After waiting for a bit, Celina went downstairs. Once the door was closed, Elise’s expression morphed
into a solemn one. She walked over to the door, and having ascertained that there was no sound
outside the room, she headed to the bathroom and turned on the taps there. Then, she began to
search the entire room. There must be something shady going on if Celina was willing to destroy her
own birthday cake just to bring me here.
Despite searching every nook and cranny, Elise didn’t find anything out of ce. There were no hidden
cameras, no assassins lying in wait, and no easily breakable priceless items lying around.
Elise stood by the couch, a little troubled by this. What else did I overlook?
She sucked in a breath in an attempt to rx. There was a faint aroma in the air. Jasmine, from the
smell of it. It was pleasant.
Right then, the door handle suddenly jiggled. The door swung open from the outside as Elise turned
her head. Then, Keh walked in.
“Why are you here?” Elise was instantly surprised, for the person she saw was ‘Alexander.’
Keh closed the door before turning to look at her with a hurt expression. “I thought I’ve been here
all this time?”
Elise hadn’t managed to answer him when ‘Alexander’ turned into ‘Keh.’ She hastily raised her
hands, stopping him from taking a step closer to her. “Don’t move.” Her wariness kicked in, and her
voice took on a warning tone. “Who exactly are you?!”
“What’s wrong?” Keh could sense that something was wrong with Elise. He attempted to get closer
to check on her.
Elise’s body began to heat up. Her gaze on Keh slowly shifted to focus on his lips instead.
Unknowingly, she gulped. Her mouth was a little dry.
The next moment, thest shred of reason that she had whipped her at the back of her mind—why did
she feel a desire for Keh that she shouldn’t have?
Pained, she pped a hand over her chest. She couldn’t stop herself from wanting to kiss him.
“Ellie?” Keh was frantic now. He attempted to reveal himself as Alexander, trying to get her to lower
her guard.

That mention of ‘Ellie’ sessfully turned Keh into ‘Alexander’ before Elise’s eyes again. She
recalled the faint scent she smelled before. In an instant, she was hit with the realization that she had
been drugged. She immediately charged into the bathroom, her hands scooping up water from the tap
in a mad frenzy and sshing it at her face. The water cooled her head off significantly, but the heat
coursing through her body still didn’t abate.
Elise mmed the door shut and took her belt off to retrieve the silver needles attached to it. She then
peeled her clothes off and began to insert the needles into herself.
Outside the bathroom, Keh’s handsome eyes dimmed when he saw Elise’s response earlier, and a
realization hit him—there was something weird about this room.
His ck eyes darkened as he quickly gathered himself and analyzed the situation.
Considering Elise’s brilliance, she certainly wouldn’t have fallen for a direct trap meant to drug her. If
the drug hadn’t been in anything she consumed, then it had to be in the air. Since there was a light
fragrance in the room, there had to be scented oils somewhere in here.
Keh promptly began his search. Atst, he found an aroma diffuser plugged into the socket next to
the TV cab. He yanked it out and carefully surveyed it. The Saunders are a sessful family. They
certainly wouldn’t have used this kind of electronic diffuser if they wanted to diffuse some essential oils.
This thing shouldn’t be here. It has to be this, he thought.
Right then, the bathroom door opened, and Elise emerged from the bathroom. Her gown had already
been washed and dried with a hairdryer. Only the few strands of stray hairs hanging over her forehead
made her look a little disheveled.
“Are you okay now?” Keh walked over to her.
“Not enough to kill me,” Elise stated tly.
Keh’s brows furrowed slightly. He was still a little uneasy. “The essential oil in the diffuser has been
tampered with. You probably feel terribly unwell judging from how you looked earlier. It’s probably a
good idea to get yourself checked at the hospital.”
“No need!” Elise barked out, only realizing that she had been too riled up after the words had left her
mouth. She then lowered her voice. “There’s no need to. I trust myself better than a doctor.”
In truth, the first thing Elise thought of when Keh mentioned seeing a doctor was the sudden urge
she felt toward him during her hallucination. She definitely couldn’t let the doctors find that out.
She paused. Seeing how Keh’s face was its usual shade and how he didn’t seem to have any
heart palpitations, she tilted her head to the side and asked, “Are you all right?”
“Shouldn’t I be?” Keh was baffled by the question.
Elise pursed her lips. “Did you think of someone else when you looked at me?”
“You’re you. Why would I think of someone else when I’m looking at you?” Keh looked at her with a
serious gaze. He was actually being dishonest—he had been seized with a sudden biological impulse
earlier. However, he didn’t dare to mention it, worried that Elise would think him a pervert. The two of
them had been entangled in a situation not all that long ago, but Keh still didn’t want to seem too
enthusiastic about that sort of stuff in front of her.
After all, he loved her for who she was, not because of her body.
At his words, Elise looked at him to see him somewhat lost in thought. Her recently calmed heart began
to race uncontrobly again; she didn’t attempt to keep it under control either.
Keh’s words meant that she was the one that he treasured the most. She knitted her brows tightly
then, a dull ache throbbing in her chest. He’s capable of loving only one person. But what about me?
My heart actually yearned for both men just now. That’s… That’s simply unforgivable.
Elise reproached herself as she clenched her fists tightly. She didn’t like this. She had truly be the
kind of person she looked down on the most: someone who fell in love at first sight at everyone she
saw and proceeded to give all her feelings to.
Meanwhile, Celina soon found her rtive, Edwin Haymond, down in the hall on the first floor. Edwin
was the son of David Saunders’ distant cousin. They were distantly rted enough that it would take
plenty of scouring through the family tree to establish a rtionship between them. After the Saunders
rose to wealth, the Haymonds came knocking on their door, licking the Saunders’ boots and trying to
get a piece of the pie because of their familial ties. David was one to maintain outward appearances.
He even arranged for Edwin to work at the Saunders’pany after that.
Despite the favors, the Haymonds’ greed knew no bounds. They constantly coveted the Saunders
fortune, wanting to let themselves gain ess to that wealth by getting Edwin to court Celina.
However, Edwin was a skinny, bony thing. So skinny, in fact, that he barely had any meat on his frame
to the point that he looked sickly. On the day he confessed his feelings to Celina, she made David
reassign him to a branch at the north of the city. Reassigning him to a distant post was a message to
Edwin, telling him not to get close to her.
But Celina knew that this little worm’s desires hadn’t died yet.
“Hey, Edwin.” Celina stepped in front of the half-drunk Edwin.
“N-Nana.” Edwin abruptly straightened, so surprised by her appearance that he was tongue-tied. “W-
Why are you here? Oh, right. H-Happy birthday!” His eyes widened in delight as he stared unblinkingly
at Celina’s face, like a wolf eyeing a rabbit. It made Celina ufortable.
Edwin was a in-looking person in the first ce. Over the past few days, his face had severely
broken out, making him an eyesore.
“Why, thank you.” Celina quashed the revulsion she felt and squeezed a fake smile out.
“Is there anything you need from me?” Edwin was drunk from drinking too much. The longer he looked
at her, the more his heart itched for her.
