Bring Your A Game, Mr novel Chapter 124

Chapter 124 Ideal Stone

Ever since Elise learned about stone gambling from Alexander in Aris the last time, she couldn’t stop thinking about it. Of course, she wouldn’t miss such a great opportunity now that he had brought it up voluntarily.

‘Of course! Where?’

Seeing her response, he sent her the coordinates. ‘Let’s go take a look at 10.00AM tomorrow.’

With that, she sent him an okay emoji.

Then, he closed his laptop and stretched his back. Gazing at the starry night sky outside the window, he got up and walked to the balcony. At that moment, he didn’t know what was happening to him. Every time he had nothing to do, he would think of Elise. His chest would ache a little as he recalled how she and Danny talked and laughed happily.

Narrowing his eyes, he tried to get it out of his head. It seems that I’m not busy enough. I should find more things to do.

The next day, Elise and Danny headed to class together. In her mind, all she could think of was checking out the new batch of stones with Alexander at 10.00AM later. Hence, she came up with an excuse to ask the teacher for a day off.

Mr. Winfrey looked at her and advised earnestly, “Though your foundation’s good, it isn’t good asking for days off so frequently. You should focus more on your studies.”

Cheekily, she replied, “I know, Mr. Winfrey. I’ll take note of that.”

In truth, he had high hopes for Elise, and he could see that she was losing focus. However, he couldn’t do much about it, so he warned, “This will be the last time I approve your application for leave this semester.”

We’re halfway through the semester already, so I only have another half left that I can’t apply for leave. It shouldn’t be a problem, she thought. Hence, she agreed unhesitatingly.

Right after, she exited the campus with the leave application. This time, she was fully prepared with a spare set of clothes. She changed into them in a public washroom, and by the time she came out, she had a completely new look. She was now Sare. Staring at her reflection in the mirror, she checked if everything looked alright before booking a taxi to meet Alexander.

Athesea’s stone gambling market wasn’t big, and there was only one street that had a stone shop. As soon as she arrived, she sent Alexander a message. In less than two minutes, a black Maybach stopped right in front of her. “Get in.”

Though she was puzzled, she opened the door and hopped into the car.

“Aren’t we going to check out the stones? Where are we going?”

“You won’t be able to find any good stones here. I’m taking you to an exclusive seller.”

Alexander drove along another path and passed by the stone gambling street. After a five-minute drive, the car finally stopped at the entrance of an old-fashioned courtyard.

“Come. Let’s get out of the car.”

Confused, she unbuckled her seatbelt and looked around. There was barely anyone there, making the place seem deserted.

“Go in,” he walked up to her and said. Then, she pointed at the mansion and asked, “There?”

After humming a reply, he led the way. In spite of her perplexity, she placed her trust in him and followed along.

The mansion was huge, with a pond in the foyer. After walking toward the end of the corridor along the pond, they finally reached the living room.
