Bring Your A Game, Mr novel Chapter 11

Elise was momentarily dazzled by Jonah’s smile as it reminded her of Robin. In an instant, her anger cooled. “Alexander asked me to help him dispose of his clothes, but Danny got the wrong idea about it.”

Danny’s face showed a look of disbelief when he heard this. “Is what she said true, Alexander?”

Alexander didn’t explicitly tell her to throw the suit jacket away, but he had tacitly consented to her doing so when he said the suit jacket would be at her disposal. Therefore, he answered, “Yeah.”

Jonah said in relief, “Ah, so it really is a misunderstanding. Apologize to Elise now, you brat!”

Danny knew he had been in the wrong, but he was still unwilling to accept it, and his eyes turned red with resentment.

“What are you waiting for? Apologize,” Jonah urged.

Danny clenched his fists and uttered between clenched teeth, “I’m sorry.”

Elise stared at him. She did nothing wrong, but for some reason, she felt as if she did. Feeling somewhat guilty, she faltered, “Uh… I-It’s nothing.”

“Please get along well with each other from now on. I’m looking forward to Elise becoming the Griffith Family’s daughter-in-law,” Jonah said while looking at Elise earnestly.

Elise’s face fell when she heard this. Get along well? I’m afraid that’s impossible!

……

Alexander felt as though the lady’s scent was still lingering on his hands. Seeing that she had walked some distance away from him, he finally recalled what he had wanted to say to her. “I helped you out yesterday at the party because Grandpa told me to. Don’t get the wrong idea.”

Get the wrong idea? What wrong idea? The idea that he has a thing for me? Elise thought. Taking a deep breath, she replied with a smile, “I’ve always known my place very well, Young Master Alexander.” When she noticed a trace of emotion on his expressionless face, her smile broadened into a wide grin. “But you’re so kind to me. I’m afraid I might lose control over myself and cross the line one day.”

Danny was sitting at the dining table in the dining room while chatting and laughing with Matthew. When he saw Elise, he put down the piece of toast in his hand and got up to leave.

“Sit down, Danny!” Jonah snapped. Then, he turned to greet Elise, saying, “Hurry up and have breakfast, Elise. Alexander will take you two to school in a while.”

Danny looked gloomy. “Why? I don’t want to go to school with her!”

Jonah replied insistently, “It’s not up to you, you brat.”

Danny took a huge bite off the piece of toast without saying a word. When he saw Elise turning up in one piece, he figured his plan had probably failed. As if that wasn’t miserable enough, he would be going to school with her from now on. At the thought of this, he took a few more bites off the piece of toast. Since that trick didn’t work, I’ll try another one! he thought.
