Bring Your A Game, Mr

Chapter 135 Do You Look Down on Me That Much?

Brendan retracted his gaze. “It’s getting late. We’d better go back and have a good rest. Alexander, you

go ahead and send Elise back. The three of us will go back together.”

Alexander agreed, then watched the three of them leave.

However, Matthew saw them and walked over. He stared at Elise and only looked away after about three

seconds, then said to Alexander, “We haven’t seen each other for a long time, but you guys didn’t have

to hide from me.”

Alexander remained calm. “You think too much. Everyone’s just tired from the night out.”

Smiling, Matthew looked between Elise and Alexander, then hugged the woman in front of him. “No

matter what, we used to be a family, so now that we’ve met, let me introduce you: This is my fiancée,

Heather Langford.”

Giving him no face, Alexander ignored Matthew and turned to look at Elise instead. “Wait here for me. I’ll

go get the car.”

Elise nodded, then Alexander turned around and left, not bothering about Matthew and Heather, who

were standing there awkwardly. However, Heather was unbothered as she comforted Matthew, “Matt,

don’t pay attention to them. I’ll always stay by your side.”

The corners of Matthew’s mouth curled up into a reluctant smile, but he still placed a kiss on Heather’s

forehead. “Babe, will you wait for me in the car?”

Heather smiled and nodded before walking away. After she left, only Elise and Matthew remained.

Matthew looked at Elise, and for a moment, he felt as if he was living in a different timeline. After a

pause, he said, “I didn’t expect you to get together with Alexander.”

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

Elise wasn’t exactly well disposed toward Matthew because she was rather disgusted with men like him,

who would make use of other people’s feelings to achieve his goals.

“My affairs are none of your concern.” Elise’s tone was so cold that it gave Matthew a bone-chilling

sensation, causing him to laugh at himself. “Indeed, it’s none of my concern, but I have to remind you

that Alexander isn’t such a simple person. If you’ve really gotten together with him, you’d better keep an

eye out. Nobody knows what might happen to you one day.”

Elise’s eyes darkened. “I have eyes, and I know how to judge people. I know who’s worthy of my

friendship and who I should keep away from. Unfortunately, Mr. Matthew, you’re one of the people that I

must stay away from.”

Her remark choked him off, and he was about to say something when Alexander drove over in his car.

Without saying anything else, Elise walked over and got into the car. Matthew stood there and watched

as the car drove off and disappeared from his view, and only then did he withdraw his gaze.

In the car, Alexander asked, “What did he say to you?”

Staring at the night scenery flashing past outside the window, Elise replied, “Nothing much. Just some

random remarks.”

Upon hearing this, Alexander didn’t ask any further questions. “It’s getting late. You can rest for a while.

I’ll wake you up when we arrive.”

Elise gradually closed her eyes, but Matthew’s words couldn’t help but emerge in her mind. She clearly

told herself not to bother about him, but his warnings subconsciously appeared in her mind, so she was a

little frustrated as she turned and leaned sideways against the seat.

After arriving home, Elise washed up and went straight to bed, falling asleep almost immediately after

lying down.

The next day was the day when the monthly test results were announced, so Danny woke up early and

waited in the dining room for Elise. However, when Elise didn’t come downstairs after he had waited for a

long time, he ordered a servant, “Help me get Elise. We’re going to be late.”

The servant was just about to go upstairs when Elise came down while yawning involuntarily. Seeing

that, Danny hurried over and said, “Boss, you’ve finally come downstairs. Let’s go to school after we’re

done with breakfast.”

Elise raised her eyebrows. “Why are you so excited today?”

Danny answered a little abashedly, “They’re announcing the results for the monthly test today. I want to

know how I did in the test this time, so Boss, could you please hurry up?”

It was Elise’s first time seeing Danny care so much about his grades. “Okay. I’ll satisfy your wish. Pack

up our breakfast. We’ll eat along the way.”

Danny immediately asked the servant to pack up their breakfast, then he and Elise went to school.

Their first session was Chinese class, and the teacher looked delighted when she entered the

classroom. “Our class did well in the monthly exam this time, especially Elise, who once again got full

marks.”

As soon as she said this, all eyes turned to Elise, and even Danny couldn’t help but look at her with

admiration. “Boss, you really are amazing.”

“Our class’s performance this time has improved a lot compared to last month’s test. One student in

particular whom I’d like to commend is Danny. This time, Danny has made great progress. He failed last

time, but he got 80 marks during this test. Let’s all applaud his improvement.”

The class burst into a round of warm applause. It was Danny’s first time being praised by the teacher, so

his cheeks turned red from embarrassment, but he rather enjoyed the feeling of being praised.

As soon as their Chinese grades were announced, the grades of the other subjects were also

announced one after another. Besides mathematics, which Danny didn’t perform that well in, his grades

for the other subjects were quite good, and he was considered to be above average. When the rankings

were revealed, Danny was tied for fifth in the class with another classmate.

Danny stared incredulously at the report card. “I’m actually ranked fifth in the class. I’m not dreaming, am

I?”

Elise pinched him without reservations. “How does it feel? Does it hurt?”

Danny nodded repeatedly. “It hurts. It hurts. This is real.”

Seeing that he was so happy that he was forgetting himself, Elise suddenly remembered the promise

she had made to him last time, whereupon she pursed her lips and said, “I promised you last time that if

you get into the top five during this exam, I’ll play online games with you. Pick a time. I’ll play two rounds

with you.”

Games were Danny’s strong suit. Before this, he thought that Elise had said that just to give him

confidence. Now that he had really gotten into the top five in the class, Elise made good on her word.

“Boss, are you sure you can do it? If your skills are really bad, then forget about it. I don’t want to bring

you along when I know you’ll drag the team down. It’ll just be a form of torture.”

Elise didn’t know whether to laugh or feel offended. “Do you look down on me that much?”

Danny, however, denied it. “It’s not that I look down on you. It’s just that I haven’t seen you play games

before, so I’m afraid you’ll drag me down.”

Elise was neither humble nor arrogant. “Whether or not I’ll drag you down, you’ll only know after you play

with me, right? If you haven’t played with me before, how would you know if I’m bad at it?”
