Bring Your A Game, Mr novel Chapter 97

Chapter 97 Why Can’t You Stop Thinking About Alexander?

Lily chuckled when she realized that she could no longer conceal her actual intentions. “It’s true that I fancy Mr. Griffith, but I’m afraid I don’t know him that well yet. I was hoping that you could tell me a little about Mr. Griffith’s interests and hobbies, Miss Sare.”

Elise responded with a polite smile. “You must be kidding, Miss Lily. I’m nothing more than a subordinate—I don’t think I’m at liberty to discuss anything related to my boss’s matters. If you don’t have any other orders, I’ll step outside now, Miss Lily. I’ll come in once you’re done.”

Right as Elise was about to leave, Lily called out to her once more. “It seems like you’re not willing to tell me anything about Mr. Griffith, Miss Sare. Regardless, I think it would be a shame if you were to just walk out without listening to the rest of what I’d like to say.”

“What else would you like to say, Miss Lily?” Elise tried to remain as patient as possible while Lily quietly scanned her from head to toe before speaking. “Give me an amount! As long as it’s something within my capabilities, I’ll give you whatever you want. I can agree to keep it a secret—your boss will never know about this.”

There wasn’t even a slight change in Elise’s expression as she spoke. “Apart from our work, I don’t think there’s much to be said between both of us, Miss Lily. I’m sorry, but I think I should leave now.” This time, Elise no longer hesitated—she turned and strode right out of the room. Lily was left alone in the water, her expression one of fury as she glared at Elise’s receding figure.

Elise let out a sigh after she stepped away from the hot springs. Phew. I finally managed to get rid of Lily. She’s a pretty exotic woman, though. Other women might think of it as shameful to speak of such matters, but Lily didn’t seem reluctant to do it at all. After stepping away from the hot springs, Elise walked to a garden opposite the area and sat down on one of the swings there.

While sitting on the swing, Elise didn’t notice the imminent threat creeping up behind her. She was casually swinging herself back and forth on the swing one moment, yet at the very next moment, a slippery, green object slithered over to her. “Ahh…!” Elise screamed in terror.

Her face was drained of color when she saw what the creature was. “A… s-snake…” If Elise had to pick one thing that she was the most terrified of in the world, her choice would always be the same. She was terrified of snakes, and there was a living, breathing snake just ten feet away from her at that moment. Her entire body trembled with fear.

Her first instinct was to run away from the threat, but her legs felt like they were drilled into the ground. “Don’t come… Don’t come here… Save me!” Elise couldn’t care less about how she looked then as she shouted at the top of her lungs. She shuffled a few steps backward when the snake raised its head. Elise hastily turned to run away, but her legs gave out, and she fell onto the ground with a loud smack.

“Someone help me! Save me!” She continued to scream and shout as she watched the snake slither closer to her. At that critical point, a rock struck directly at the snake’s mid-area, where its heart was located. The snake curled up into a ball as it twitched and jerked in pain.

“Are you okay?” Alexander walked over to Elise, his voice filled with concern. Before Elise knew what she was doing, she threw herself into his arms and clung to his neck. Her entire body was shivering uncontrollably. Jack saw the incident from afar, and he hastily got the security workers to catch the snake.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Griffith. You guys must have been really shocked.” One of the security guards delivered his apology in a fearful tone. Alexander didn’t respond to the guard and simply continued to pat Elise’s back gently. “It’s fine now, Miss Sare. Someone got rid of the snake.”

However, Elise didn’t seem to feel any better. She continued to cling tightly onto Alexander. He narrowed his eyes as he considered pushing her off of him, but he couldn’t bring himself to do it in the end. Meanwhile, Jack gestured for the security guards to leave before he turned and looked at Alexander. “I’ll head over there, Alexander.” Jack turned and walked off, leaving Elise and Alexander alone at the pavilion in the garden.

After what felt like ages, Elise finally stuck her head out to check if the snake was still there. The uneasy feeling in her chest finally disappeared once she made sure that there weren’t any snakes near her. “Alright. You’re safe now,” Alexander uttered.
