Bring Your A Game, Mr novel Chapter 937

Chapter 937 Gale’s Trap

When she looked around, she could see Jamie standing behind her. The distance between them was close but not too uncomfortable. She could hear his attractive voice distinctly.

“Straighten your body. You’ll be wasting your energy otherwise. When you’re about to throw, your hand should not skew. Keep your arms relaxed and close to the body. Take firm steps forward and be quick when you strike. Use your left hand to control your center of gravity. Try it out.”

Under his guidance, Alicia made the adjustments. Soon, she took four quick steps and made her throw without hesitation. The ball rolled forward at high speed and struck down half of the pins.

“Yes!” She jumped in excitement. “Are you satisfied with taking down just a few pins?” he joked. “Those who want less will be happy.” She was positive about it. “By the way, why are you here?”

“Would you believe me if I say it’s a coincidence?” He shrugged, looking rather uneasy. “Of course.” She beamed at him in a childlike manner, looking passionate and adorable. “That shows we are tied by fate. Am I right?”

He lost his composure in the face of her innocent smile. “Alright. To be honest, I faked this encounter. I did it because you’re the second daughter from the Heidelberg Family, and I wanted to get to know your father through you.”

“I know that.” She did not look surprised. Not only that, her smile widened.

“You knew?” He had no idea what gave him away.

“The bowling alley has a strict membership requirement. I know almost every member who plays here. That’s why I knew that us running into each other here was not a coincidence.” She kept a smile on her face. “Anyway, I appreciate the honesty. I’ll be frank with you as well. I am not involved in my dad’s business, so I can’t help you. Sorry about that.”

“It’s fine. I should be the one who feels sorry.” Jamie looked embarrassed because he was the one who approached her with an ulterior motive, only to make her feel guilty. After all, she could not help him.

“Can we still be friends even if we can’t talk business?” She shot her shot directly and boldly.

“Sure.” This time, he did not beat around the bush and exchanged social media contacts with her.

Following that, he taught her a few bowling tips. During their conversation, he was once again impressed by her liveliness and carefree manner.

In other words, he saw Narissa in Alicia.

Half an hour later, she was worn out from the activity. Jamie got her a bottle of water and waited while she rested. He casually looked toward the entrance, only to spot Gale Myres walking in.

Gale and Alicia undoubtedly knew each other because he was the nephew from Mrs. Heidelberg’s side of the family. Jamie knew that it would not be good if Gale noticed him mingling with Alicia.

“Oh. I almost forgot that I have something to attend to. Let’s keep in touch. I’ll go now. Bye!” He made up an excuse to escape since he was running out of time.

Alas, he was spotted by Gale, who walked up to Alicia. “Was that your friend?” He immediately prodded.

“Yes.” She admitted right away. “We met a few days ago. He’s a nice guy. Are you here to bowl?”

“Nope. Here to meet a friend,” he answered absentmindedly before starting his interrogation again. “It’s rare to see you hanging out happily with guys. Are you interested in him, by any chance?”

He always presented himself as an empathetic older brother in front of his younger cousins.

She smiled but did not deny it. Chuckling, he took the chance to encourage her to go after Jamie. “Young love is fleeting. If you’re interested in someone, you need to go for it. Lately, I’ve been going on dates with your future cousin-in-law. You should ask that guy out if there’s a chance. We could do double dates. Who knows? Going out with another couple might help with your relationship.”

“But I don’t know if he has the time or not.” She recalled Jamie saying he would fly home soon.

“You need to create the opportunity.” He hinted at her.
