Bring Your A Game, Mr

Chapter 24

toward the car. It was Alexander who had come to fetch her today.

After Elise got into the car, Alexander started the car engine slowly and departed. Elise did not take a bre

ak either while on the way as she took out the practice questions and started grinding on them again. Sitt

ing in the driver‘s seat, Alexander observed Elise through the rearview mirror. He had to admit that althou

gh Elise had a rather average appearance, for some reason, she gave off

an unworldly aura, which didn‘t seem to match her looks at all.

Alexander retracted his gaze and decided to initiate a conversation with Elise, which rarely occurred. “Ar

e you going to participate in the City Mathematics Olympiad Competition?”

Elise was chewing on her pen when she heard the question. In response, she quickly lifted her head to gl

ance at Alexander and hummed.

“When‘s the competition?” Alexander asked again.

“Next Friday at Athesea High.” As she recalled Jack had once mentioned that Alexander had taken part i

n a Mathematics Olympiad competition before too, she added, “I heard you participated in a Mathematics

Olympiad competition before and had even won the first prize. Do you have any tips for me?”

Alexander lifted his brows slightly. “That was a long time ago, so I can‘t be of much help now.”

Elise hummed in response and said nothing else. As such, the atmosphere in the car went

silent once again. Fortunately, they arrived at the Griffith Residence in no time.

After the car stopped, Elise opened the door and got out of the car. Then, she walked into the living room

after changing her shoes on the porch and saw Jonah having tea leisurely while sitting

on the couch. “Ellie, you‘re home!”

“Hi, Grandpa,” Elise addressed Jonah courteously.

Joy spread across Jonah‘s face when he

saw Elise. “How are things at school, Ellie? Just tell me if you‘re unhappy with anything, or you can comp

lain to those few rascals too. Don‘t let yourself suffer.”

“Alright, Grandpa! You don‘t have to worry about me.”

“You‘re such a polite child…” Jonah said with a bright smile. Then, he saw Alexander who just entered

the house. “Alex, please help me to look after Ellie if she needs anything. She‘s a girl, so we should give

her more care.”

Alexander did not refute Jonah‘s words but answered indifferently, “Alright, Grandpa.”

Jonah couldn‘t be bothered about Alexander‘s apathetic response. So, he

diverted his attention back to Elise and said, “Ellie, I heard that you‘re going to participate in a Mathemati

cs Olympiad competition. Alex is pretty good at Math Olympiad. He can tutor you.”

Hearing that, Elise quickly rejected it. “It‘s okay, Grandpa. I‘d rather not trouble him.”

“Not at all. Alex, you‘ll be Ellie‘s Math Olympiad tutor from tonight onward. Do teach her whatever you kn

ow so that she will excel in the competition.” Jonah was so determined that there was no opportunity for

Elise and Alexander to reject the proposal. Elise actually wanted to say something but could only bite her

tongue toward the end.

On the other hand, Alexander always honored Jonah‘s word and would never go against him, so neither

did he reject the order. As such, Alexander became Elise‘s Math Olympiad tutor.

During dinner, Jack was driven up the wall when he knew Alexander was going

to give Elise tuition because Elise would most likely win the competition with Alexander‘s help. If that hap

pened, he would lose the bet.

Freaked out, Jack secretly pulled Alexander to the side after dinner. “Alex, I‘m begging you–

can you please don‘t give Elise tuition?”

Alexander wore a calm look and replied nonchalantly, “That‘s Grandpa‘s order.” What he meant was he c

ouldn‘t defy Jonah‘s order.

Jack became even more anxious. “C‘mon, Alex. You can tell Grandpa that given Elise‘s capability, she do

esn‘t need a tutor at all––or, you can just palter with Elise, as long as she doesn‘t win the competition.”

Alexander nodded upon understanding Jack‘s intention and gave an ambiguous answer. “I‘ll try to…”

Jack immediately placed his hands on his lap and feigned a pitiful look. “Please help me out, Alex…”

Just then, Jack met Elise‘s

eyes as she walked toward them. At once, he put on a normal look and pretended as if nothing had happ

ened. “Go ahead, Alex. I shall excuse myself first as I still have some matters to attend to,” he

said in a serious manner and quickly slipped away thereupon.

On the other hand, Elise wasn‘t bothered about it at all and went upstairs directly while Alexander followe

d right after.

Upon entering her room, Elise was about to close the door when a big hand stopped her from doing

so before pushing the door open. Thereafter, Alexander walked in straight.

“What‘re you doing here?” Elise asked. Alexander ignored her and directly walked toward her study table

and answered in a serious manner, “Grandpa asked me to tutor you.”

Elise quickly rejected it. “It‘s okay, there’s no need. You may leave now.”

However, Alexander had no intention to leave at all so he immediately sat down on the chair. “I never defy

bear with me.”

Elise was rendered speechless. She wanted to say that she really didn‘t need a tutor, but thinking about J

composure

and shifted his focus. However, he still unintentionally caught sight of Elise‘s side profile and was attracted
