Bring Your A Game, Mr novel Chapter 142

Chapter 142 A Bit Off

Ashlyn didn’t say another word and compliantly followed behind the man, but her eyes showed a hint of underlying dissatisfaction.

How? How does an ugly duckling like Elise manage to live so vivaciously, and yet I have to suffer in such a way?

……

When they arrived home, Alexander carried all the newly bought things to Elise’s room. This was his first time in her room, and he could detect a slight fragrance in the air as he entered.

“Let me know if there’s anything else you need. I’ll have Cameron bring it over to you,” Alexander said. Elise glanced at the pile of shopping bags in front of her and was a little shocked that they’d actually bought so many things today. “That won’t be necessary for now. We’ve already bought a lot, actually.”

Alexander nodded and asked, “What do you want to eat for dinner? I’ll pass the word to the kitchen.”

Elise’s eyes moved around as she pondered. She thought of something all of a sudden and said, “I want sticky pork ribs and roasted chicken.”

Alexander made a mental note of her cravings. “Sure, get some rest and just come downstairs when it’s time for dinner.”

As he spoke, he left her room with wide and brisk steps. Elise cupped her face with one hand as she stared at herself in the mirror. Strangely, she felt like a girl who was being pampered by her boyfriend.

Elise lay on her huge bed and stared at the ceiling above her; an image of Alexander surfaced in her mind and she couldn’t help but smile sweetly. Then, she rolled over and gradually fell asleep.

Night approached steadily outside her windows. It wasn’t until a knock sounded on her door that Elise stirred. She stretched lazily and checked the time—she was surprised to find that it was already over 7.00PM.

“Dinner’s ready, Miss Sinclair.” The housekeeper’s voice came from outside her room.

Elise quickly replied, “All right, coming.”

Lifting her blanket, she hopped off her bed before putting on her slippers and leaving her room.

On the way down, she bumped into Danny who was playing mobile games on his phone. He instinctively hid his phone at the sight of Elise and greeted her nervously, “Boss!”

Elise looked at him and asked, “Have you been gaming again?”

Danny admitted sheepishly, “Yeah… I only played for a while, though—it was only a round.”

Elise nodded in response. “Okay. Have you done your homework? Is there anything you don’t understand?”

To that, Danny quickly said, “Yeah, there are a few questions I don’t understand. Can we please go over them after dinner?”

Elise hid the cunning look in her eyes as she stared at him. She replied readily, “Of course, but I have a condition.”

Danny had a bad feeling right away. “W-What is it?”

Elise extended a palm in front of him. “Give me your phone. No more mobile games until you make the top three on your next exam.”

Danny felt like he was being controlled, but as he gave it some thought, it was indeed his own goal to pay attention to his studies in the first place. He wouldn’t be able to study well if he continued to give in to his desires and played mobile games without restraining himself. Thus, he happily handed Elise his phone. “Here, Boss.”
