Bring Your A Game, Mr

Rowena glanced at Alexander and met his gaze. It was just a short moment, but she was stunned by his powerful aura. This man isn’t simple! Coming back to her senses, Rowena said, “Okay, Miss Sinclair! Next time, I’ll tell you in advance before coming over.” Elise gave her a slight nod, then got into Alexander’s car, which slowly revved up and drove off. Without waiting for Alexander to ask, Elise explained, “Miss Anderson is my client. She had a wedding dress custom-made at Brendan’s studio!” Alexander grunted but didn’t point out the Andersons’ current situation.

He simply said, “Don’t get too close to the Andersons! Just having normal interactions is fine.” Elise nodded as she didn’t want to get too involved with the Anderson Family either. “I know.” As the car drove along the road, Elise looked out the window at the hectic atmosphere of Tissote. It was obviously a familiar city, but it conveyed a different mood. The car ended up in a magnificent villa district east of Tissote, where the scenery was beautiful. The car was parked steadily in the courtyard of the innermost villa. Right after the engine was turned off, a servant came over and greeted politely, “Mr. Griffith!”

Alexander got out of the car before half-hugging Elise, then nodded slightly. He looked as he usually did, with no extra expressions on his face. “Mr. Griffith, this way please…” Elise immediately followed Alexander into the hall, where they walked through the corridor to the back yard. From a distance, she saw a figure trimming plants with a pair of scissors. “Madam, Mr. Griffith has arrived!” The woman stopped what she was doing and turned around with a smile as she looked at Alexander.

“Elise, Alex calls me Miss Vera, so you can just call me that

has stolen Alex’s heart looks like.” Only then did Elise realize that she was still wearing a mask, so she apologized. “I’m sorry, Miss Vera. I’m too used to wearing a mask every day.” Then, Elise took off her mask and revealed her delicate face. To their surprise, Vera’s smile visibly stiffened in the next second, and her movements were disrupted. She stared at Elise in astonishment. “Y-You!” Incredulity

her senses, and she quickly hid her strange behavior. “Nothing. I’m fine… I’m sorry, Elise. I lost myself for a while there.” Vera quickly retracted her gaze. It was a brief confusion; she didn’t even know what to do with her hands. For a moment, her strange behavior made Elise’s heart thump. She had the distinct feeling that Vera had something to say, but she didn’t end up saying anything. “Alex… Elise… please take a seat. I’ll go get changed, then I’ll come down.” With that, Vera rushed off, leaving a puzzled and frowning Elise, who tugged on Alexander’s arm and asked softly,

noticed Vera’s unusual behavior as well, but he assured Elise, “She’s fine.” At this moment, Vera went upstairs and closed the room door with a slam. Then, she ran to the dressing table in a panic and opened the innermost drawer, which contained a brocade box. Taking out the box, she hesitated for a while before opening it. Inside the box was an old black and white photo of a young woman. Upon closer look, it could be seen that the woman in the photo looked similar to Elise. Half an hour later, Vera hurried downstairs. She

she walked up to Elise. Then, she took Elise’s hand and said, “Elise, for some reason, I felt a sense of familiarity the moment I saw you. Where are you from? Is it Tissote?” Elise explained, “My hometown is on the outskirts of Kervia, not Tissote.” When Vera heard this, she was a little surprised. “Not Tissote…” she
