Bring Your A Game, Mr novel Chapter 9

What Elise said prompted murmurs from the crowd around them.

“That’s right. Isn’t she a bit too full of herself?”

“Who does she think she is? She’s spoiled rotten by the Mosses, but the others aren’t obliged to do the same.”

This was the first time Katie was humiliated. In a fit of anger and resentment, she jumped on Elise and tried to shove the latter, only to fall to the ground with a loud thud when the latter dodged her.

Elise waved her hand in a helpless gesture. “Everyone saw that, right? I didn’t even lay a finger on her,” she said. Then, she bent down and threatened in a sweet voice, “I know it was you who knocked me into the pool just now, Katie. If you dare mess with me again, I promise you that your beloved Matthew will be the first to know that.” Then, she raised her voice and asked with a smile, “Want me to help you up, Miss Moss?”

When Katie heard this, her little face instantly turned as pale as a sheet, and she hastily stood up and fled.

Meanwhile, Alexander had been silently watching all this from a distance. He’d thought Elise would let herself be trampled on like a doormat, but it seemed that she wasn’t as stupid as he’d thought. Without him realizing it, his lips curved into a faint smile, as if he had found an interesting prey.

As the farce came to an end, Elise quickly lost her newfound interest. She threw a glance at Ashlyn, saying, “I’m sorry, Miss Lawson, but it’s almost time for me to leave.”

“Sorry for what happened just now,” Ashlyn replied in feigned friendliness. Inwardly, though, she was mad at Katie for making a fool of herself in trying to be clever.
