Bring Your A Game, Mr

Chapter 141 Forgoing Is No Forgiving

Having walked out of Ferry Building, instead of going home, Elise walked alone along the side of the

road. Her mind was cramped with dilemmas as she was perturbed. It wasn’t until a car suddenly

appeared and honked nonstop beside her that she came to her senses. She turned her head to the side

and saw a familiar car pulling up beside her.

Alexander pushed open his car door and got out of the car. He headed straight for Elise. “What are you

zoning out for? Don’t you know it’s dangerous to dream and walk along the roadside?”

His intonation was as serene as ever, yet Elise was able to find concernment within his words. She lifted

the corners of her lips and forced a smile. “I was contemplating something and missed your horn. Why

are you here?”

Alexander, too, was surprised by the coincidence as he was merely out to sign a contract. However, to

actually bump into her was quite dazing. “And why are you here? Aren’t you supposed to be in school?”

He came back with a question of his own instead of answering hers.

In response, Elise shook her head and remained silent. Somehow, she was behaving way differently

than on other days.

“Bad mood?”

Alexander furrowed his brows, pondering how he could cheer her up. Unfortunately, he didn’t quite

possess the experience to comfort a woman, so it proved to be somewhat of an inconvenience.

Having come up with some activities girls would usually like, he inquired, “Wanna go shopping? Or get

something to eat? Or we can go for a simple stroll if you want.” After he said that, Elise gawked at him in

confusion. Her heart that was tainted seemed to be affected as well.

“Hmm… Let’s go shopping then.” For some reason, Elise didn’t feel like rejecting him, so she accepted

his suggestion.

After scanning their surroundings, Alexander remembered Griffith Group’s biggest mall that was nearby.

“Shopping it is. Shall we?”

And so, Elise got into his car. While she was staring out the window, Alexander sent a text message to

Cameron. A few minutes later, the biggest, most opulent mall in Athesea was cleared out before the staff

members respectfully queued up in two lines at the main entrance.

“Greetings, President Griffith, Miss Sinclair!”

Alexander nodded his head in response. Very soon, a shopping guide came forth to serve Elise. “Miss

Sinclair, what do you wish to see? Is it garments of the latest fashion, accessories, or perhaps you’re into

beauty and skincare?”

Initially, Elise assumed they were only doing some casual shopping. Little did she know, Alexander had

arranged such an extravaganza for her, making her feel somewhat awkward. “It’s fine. I’ll just take my

time.”

The shopping guide replied, “Other than that, we’ve also just received a new batch of bags that are

limited edition. Care for a look?”

Before Elise could say anything, Alexander whispered into her ear, “Just get anything you want. Don’t

overthink it.” Thinking she was just too embarrassed to select any product, he decided to reassure her

not to worry about anything.

“I’ll look around. You don’t have to follow me.”

Hearing that, the shopping guide turned to Alexander, who then waved his hand at her, signaling her to

retreat, to which she heeded the instruction. Thereupon, Alexander accompanied Elise as she walked

from one shop to another. Every single worker in the shopping mall tactfully approached to guide them.

Even the manager of the mall, after hearing the news, consequently hurried over to see them.

“If there’s anything you need, President Griffith, just give me a call and I’ll send it over,” the manager

warily informed. On the other hand, Alexander returned to his usual, cold mannerism. “It’s fine. I’m just

passing by and looking around. There’s nothing important here. You may leave.”

The manager hastily wiped the sweat off his forehead. Despite Alexander’s statement, he stayed around,

serving them with utmost care.

Meanwhile, as Elise didn’t expect to see such an empty mall, she didn’t carry any purpose with her when

she agreed to come. However, after walking around the mall, she noticed there were many things that

piqued her interest. Thus, she decided to spoil herself by splurging. When she was about to pay for the

items, Alexander notified the shopping guide, “These are all on me.”

“It’s fine. I can pay for myself,” Elise hurriedly refuted. Nonetheless, the shopping guide didn’t dare to

take Elise’s card. Eventually, everything Elise acquired in the shopping mall was afforded by Alexander.

“Do you feel better now?” he quizzed. At that moment, let alone feeling better, it was as if she had visited

the paradise every woman could only dream of, and the lavish spending was the best stress relief ever.

“You’re quite the womanizer, Alexander. Going all out sure feels good!”

Seeing she was not as moody as before, he revealed a subtle grin. “As long as you like it.”

His words carried a huge hint of adoration, but Elise, who was still dwelling on her excitement from

shopping, failed to acknowledge it.

As they were about to finish shopping, a number of staff members helped them to carry bags of their

purchase, following Alexander and Elise out the mall. However, as fate would have it, they ran into

Ashlyn.

Ever since the incident on the cruise ship, Ashlyn’s reputation among the socialites was utterly shattered.

Furthermore, with Alexander pulling some strings from behind the scenes, the Lawsons quickly fell to

their demise. Besides, somebody reported her uncle’s deeds, pinning down the family entirely.

Hence, she was no longer the illustrious missy as she was in the past. For the sake of advantages, the

Lawson Family had arranged a marriage between her and a local real estate owner.

Right then, Ashlyn was seen with her fiance.

Upon seeing Alexander, she instinctively stopped her feet and pursed her lips. In a pitiable tone, she

shouted, “Alexander!”

Baffled, Alexander tensed his brows and turned around, only to see Ashlyn. Regardless, there wasn’t a

trace of emotion on his face as he completely disregarded her.

Seeing that, Elise muttered, “Isn’t that Ashlyn?”

He extended his hand and patted her head. “Let’s head back. There’s no need to waste our time on

irrelevant people.”

Murmuring in agreement, Elise withdrew her gaze. In regard to the incident back then, she didn’t manage

to play her cards as the dispute was quickly resolved by Alexander’s men. Thus, she had decided to let

Ashlyn go for the time being.

However, Elise was a vengeful woman. In other words, to her, forgoing was by no means forgiving.

Meanwhile, Ashlyn watched as Alexander and Elise, interacting amiably, walked past right in front of her

without responding to her. In that instant, her heart was filled with tremendous indignation. Had the

incident not happened, the woman beside Alexander now would have been her.

Catching Ashlyn’s eyes fixating on Alexander, Ashlyn’s fiance stomped over to her. “What the f*ck are

you looking at, you wh*re? Have you forgotten you’re now my woman? If you dare to even think about

cheating on me, I’ll f*cking kill you.”

In fear, Ashlyn swiftly withdrew her stare and forced a chuckle. “You’re reading too much into this, honey.

I only have you in my heart.”

Upon those words, the frown on the man’s face was slightly relieved. Despite that, he wrapped his arm

around her waist in one swift move and gave her a vigorous pinch. “If I ever catch you looking at any

other guy again, I’ll plow you dead.”
