Bring Your A Game, Mr novel Chapter 254

Chapter 254,Coolest Girl in Town

Madeline’s face instantly shifted between an interesting range of colors. Wasn’t the most sightly thing to see, but Quentin ignored her. “Ellie, I’ve heard that you were the highest scorer in the college entrance examination for your city. That’s an amazing feat! Which university did you apply to?” Elise chuckled. “Tissote University! But I still haven’t gotten my letter of admission yet. It’ll probably arrive in a few more days.”

“Tissote University is among the crème de la crème nationally! Since you managed to get a spot there, it just shows how smart you are! I’m so proud of you!” Quentin had a look of pride on his face. He couldn’t wait to announce this piece of good news to the world. “Thank you for all the compliments. I’ll continue to work hard.” “Do your best! I have high expectations of you.” Everybody could see every one of the pair’s interactions. Madeline was well and thoroughly stunned. She never once thought that Elise and Quentin would know each other, and from the looks of things, they were close as well.

The bystanders were smart; they had been a little taken aback by Elise when they saw her, a strange girl, dancing with Alexander, earlier. Now that they saw her interacting affectionately with Quentin, they surmised that Elise was no ordinary girl. Right then, Maya approached them with her father, Maxwell, alongside. “Mr. Fassbender, this is my daughter, Maya.” Maya was all smiles as she greeted Quentin. “Pleased to meet you, Uncle Quentin!” Quentin raised an eyebrow slightly. He couldn’t accept others calling him that, so he gave Maya a terse reply. “No need for such stiff politeness, Miss Dahlen!”

His curt response was enough to establish his attitude; his tone with her and with Elise seemingly came from two different people! Maya couldn’t quite hide her expression now, but she was mindful of her family’s business, so she didn’t dare to raise her voice at Quentin. She simply smiled instead. “I’ve heard about you for a long time, Uncle Quentin. Now that I’ve met you in person, you seem to be a little different from what all the legends say. After all, the Quentin Fassbender that people whisper of is a solemn and serious businessman. However, I feel like you’re far friendlier than what the rumors said about you.”

Her choice of words was absolutely beautiful; no regular person would have been able to find a flaw in her spiel. But Quentin was no regular man; he had long since gotten used to hearing people trying to get into his good books like this, so he didn’t feel any way toward Maya. He just didn’t feel right with how she addressed him. “Miss Dahlen, we aren’t that close to each other. Please, call me Mr. Fassbender.”

Maya wasn’t the only one affected by this, her expression changing upon hearing that; even Madeline began to ruminate on this turn of events. Prior to this, Maya had been talking about how close she was with Quentin and how highly he thought of her. Now that Madeline saw what just happened, things weren’t as how Maya said they were. On the contrary, Elise seemed even closer to Quentin than Maya was! However, Elise is just a country bumpkin. How did she get to know a man of high status like Quentin? Is there something that I’m not aware of?

Maxwell swiftly came to Maya’s rescue. “You’re absolutely right, Mr. Fassbender! Maya calling you ‘Uncle Quentin’ isn’t exactly appropriate. After all, you look so young, and you don’t look like you’re much older than Maya. She didn’t quite notice this, so please, don’t take offense to my daughter.” It was simple, but there was an extra layer to his words when he placed Quentin on the same level as Maya—Maxwell’s motives were plain as day.

The only reason Quentin came here today was to see Elise. If he hadn’t known that Elise would be here at this banquet, he wouldn’t have attended such an occasion to socialize with others. Now that he had met Elise, he was no longer willing to spend another minute here. So, he said, “I have some other business to attend to, Mr. Dahlen, so I’ll be on my way!” “Don’t you want to stay a little longer? If there’s anything you need, I can make the arrangements—” However, Quentin didn’t give Maxwell a chance to finish as he simply turned to Elise. “Ellie, my girl, remember to let me know if you need anything, okay?”
