Bring Your A Game, Mr

Chapter 16

Meanwhile, a notification sounded on Jamie‘s phone with a ding. He had a feeling that something was off

. After all, this alert could only mean that his boss was in danger…

He quickly tapped into the app on his phone, and the message clearly stated that his boss had been kidn

apped.

“Oh, poor you, Boss!” Jamie stared at the pinned location on the map as he

wiped away an invisible tear. He lamented, “It seems like Boss has made an enemy in school! She can o

nly count on him this time.”

Just

as he was about to send the location to Alexander, he recalled their grudge from before. Aside from that,

he was also afraid of exposing Elise‘s true identity, so he decided to send Danny a message with an ano

nymous account in the end.

“Please be safe, Boss!”

Danny was contacting all of his friends to find Elise‘s whereabouts. All of a sudden, he received the mess

age from Jamie‘s anonymous account. He jolted and said after a short moment, ‘Alexander,

someone sent me a location and said that Elise‘s there right now. Should we go?”

Alexander took the phone from his brother. Even though a sliver of suspicion passed over him, he eventu

ally decided to head over and try his luck. “We will. What if she really is there?”

Right now, he had to go even if it was false information!

Alexander opened the car door and started running toward the pinned location while Danny hastily chase

d after him.

They arrived at a secluded area of the school according to the

tip. This dormitory hadn‘t been repaired in many years and was now an abandoned building.

It wouldn‘t be surprising for no one to notice a thing if someone were to be locked up here.

Alexander rushed into the dormitory

and opened every door along the way, frantically searching for the figure of that person.

Danny followed after him as he panted, a sense of guilt rising in his chest. Even though they were consta

ntly bickering with each other on the daily, he wouldn‘t be able to forgive himself if she was really

in danger.

Elise could taste the foul and metallic flavor of blood in her mouth. The bitter sensation stung her throat

with every word she spoke. “I can‘t say you‘re not amazing, Miss Snyder. You actually pulled the kidnappi

ng card again. I really

can‘t think of a reason for you to hate me this much, though.” Elise intentionally spoke loud and clear to s

tall for time.

Nicole let out a few snickers. “Elise, you stole my

position as number one in the competition and even got so close with Danny. Now you‘re telling me that I

hate you for no reason at all?”

“You‘re the only one who cares about getting number one in that stupid competition. I couldn‘t care less a

bout it.”

preparing to land another slap on Elise‘s face.

Before she could do so, a loud bang sounded–

the door was pushed open, and Nicole turned around in shock.

The man beside her rushed forward to block their path. “Who are you guys?”

Danny went up and slammed the man to the ground. Alexander pushed Nicole away without a word and

went straight toward Elise.

Elise‘s eyes were covered and her mouth was stuffed as she cowered by the

corner like a hurt little deer. A look at her couldn‘t help but

make others want to protect her and keep her safe.

Danny exclaimed in astonishment, “Look what you‘ve done, Nicole!”

“Danny, …

Danny didn‘t want to hear anything from her. He interrupted her and yelled, “Don‘t bother explaining. I do

n‘t want to hear any of it!”

As Alexander stared at Elise who was lying in his arms, his voice took a colder turn once more. “I‘m not i

nterested in what happened between you and Danny, but don‘t think you can get away with just a few wo

rds when you‘ve laid a finger on someone from the Griffith Family.”

Danny angrily threw a few punches at the man and left with Alexander after letting off his steam.

Nicole was utterly flabbergasted by what happened before her. She nervously took out her phone and cal

led someone. “What should we do? Elise was rescued by Alexander Griffith..”

“She was rescued?” The woman sounded quite shocked on the other end of the line, but she regained h

er composure fairly quickly. “Just do

as I say. We‘re walking on thin ice right now, so I‘ll help you for sure…”

Alexander gazed down at Elise who was in his arms. The young woman‘s lips were pale and her forehea

d was

beaded with cold sweat. Her groans sounded painful yet tender, and she seemed to be in a muddled stat

e of mind with her eyes squeezed shut. However, her hands were still grabbing onto his shirt tightly.

In fact, Elise only intentionally provoked Nicole with her words when she vaguely heard noises of doors b

eing opened outside earlier. And it turned out that she was right.

She let out a long, sharp hiss. Right now, her face was still quite painful.

Alexander put her down on the back seat of the car. When he spoke, his voice was surprisingly gentle. “

Do you… need to go to the hospital?”

“There‘s no need for that.” Elise was a little shocked.

Alexander frowned momentarily and sent her back to the Griffith Residence without saying

anything more.

When she was back in her room, Elise finally whipped out the phone she hid in her clothes and saw the

explosion of text messages that Jamie had sent her.

Are you okay, Boss? Have you been rescued?‘

Elise replied, ‘That I have, but it wasn‘t a small price to pay in exchange for it!

Jamie sent her a crying emoji along with the text, ‘That‘s awful, Boss! Is there anything I can help with?‘

I‘ll handle it myself. You don‘t need to know about it!

‘Alrighty, Boss. Let me know if you need anything, Jamie replied cheekily.

Elise made a call after taking care of her energetic lackey.

The receiver sounded very angry when she picked up the call. It was as though she was the one

who had suffered through the incident. “Nicole Snyder, was it? I‘ll take care of it right away, Ellie…”

“Thanks a lot, then!” Elise replied sweetly in a cute voice.

“By the

way, Ellie, I‘ll be visiting an old friend in Athesea quite soon, so I‘d love to see you as well, the woman on t

“Sure, sure. I’ll bring you around and we‘ll have fun together.”

Just then, a knock sounded on her door. Elise put away her phone and curiously opened the door. What c

ice.

“Here‘s the patient, doctor. Please take a look at her.”

“Miss Sinclair, right? May I come in?”

“Yes, of course.” Elise didn‘t want to reject the family doctor when she saw him holding bags of equipment

The doctor briefly took care of Elise‘s injuries and prescribed her some medicine after making sure
