Bring Your A Game, Mr

Chapter 515 The Biggest Competitor

“Does Alexander know that you are from Smith Co.?” Elise asked directly. Clement maintained his

silence without saying anything. It was mainly because he did not understand what Elise meant. After

all, Alexander was the boss of Smith Co., which meant that he knew everything without a doubt.

“It seems like he doesn’t know this.” Elise came to a firm conclusion. “Even though I don’t know why

you are hiding your identity around him and your motives for doing so, since he trusts you, I hope that

you better not disappoint him or have some malicious plans toward him. I’m quite sure that I’m better at

keeping an eye on people than you.”

She was defending Alexander. When Clement realized this, he slowly raised his head and stared into

her powerful yet serious eyes.

If he had been right about his assumptions, Elise had been trying to win his approval ever since he

arrived. However, it was because of Alexander that she dared to threaten Clement now. Even though

she was merely warning Clement, he knew that she meant her words.

While both of them were involved in such a conflict, a black MPV slowly stopped by the road. The door

was opened as Alexander exited the car.

“What are you guys discussing?” He then walked to Elise with a wide smile on his face.

“Nothing. Just asking Clement about his family,” Elise replied with a slight smile.

Alexander nodded without any suspicion. “Let’s enter the house first.”

With that, he held her hand and walked through the door.

Clement wanted to follow them, but she turned around to instruct, “Stay by the door and don’t let

anyone enter.”

Hence, he retracted the leg that he had just lifted past the door and turned to face the streets as he

guarded the entrance.

Alexander was confused by this. “Did he make you angry again?”

“No.” Elise pulled him toward the bedroom coldly.

“It’s true that he’s not good at interacting with people. If you aren’t happy with him, I can change to

another bodyguard for you. Does that sound good?” he asked tentatively.

While they were speaking, they had already entered the room.

Elise released him to close the door. Then, she turned to look at him for a second before she leaned

into him for a hug.

Her special fragrance made Alexander almost lose his breath as lust pounded through his blood.

Although their breaths were now slightly heavier, Elise still showed no inclination of stopping. Using the

last remnant of his rationality, Alexander held her shoulders and pushed her back.

“What’s wrong, Ellie?” He looked at her with aroused eyes. Although he was breathing heavily, his

concern was apparent.

“I miss you.” Elise looked at him wistfully with wide eyes that were slightly tearful.

Those three words made Alexander blush.

The force on his hands became greater as he kept a distance from her. “It’s still during the day,” he said

awkwardly.

“So what?” She stretched her hand without any fear and grabbed his collar as she pulled him closer to

her. “Tell me—do you want to do it or not?”

Alexander was torn. “There’s no… thing.”

“What thing?” With that, she realized that he was referring to condoms and felt slightly amused by that.

However, she soon regained her dominance and dragged him to the bedside before she shoved him.

“Let’s just cut the crap and get to business!”

…

It was only in the evening that both of them finally slept in each other’s arms.

However, Elise quickly opened her eyes as she thought about her experience in Dukethorn for the past

few days.

She wondered whether she should tell Alexander about how Kenneth had pestered her. It was not to

make Alexander jealous, but she thought he ought to know the truth.

However, she had no confidence in Kenneth and was worried that Alexander would take action on him

after knowing this. In that case, they both might be injured and that was something she dreaded seeing

—a bloody scene that would leave her helpless.

Elize gently sighed without even realizing it.

In the next second, Alexander hugged her waist through the sheets. “What are you thinking?”

Elise slightly rubbed her cheeks against his. “I just miss you.”

“I’m right beside you now, am I not?” he asked in a low voice.

“I guess I’m not used to being apart from you for so long.” With that, Elise changed the topic subtly.

“Why didn’t you ask me about my time in Dukethorn? Aren’t you interested?”

“As long as you are willing to tell me, I’ll listen to you; if not, I won’t force you to do anything.” Alexander

tightened his hug around her. “Ellie, I will always be with you, and no matter what happens, I will always

love you.”

Alexander was her prince, her safe harbor. When she was with him, she felt as though she was

surrounded by a warm, spring breeze that made her slightly lazy yet assured.

At that moment, she finally cast the thoughts about the missing physicist and Kenneth behind her

before she fell sound asleep in his arms.

…

The next day, even though Elise had done nothing, trouble seemed to look for her.

She was having a video conference with Tom from Landred City in the room.

He looked troubled, but he dared not speak in front of Elise, who looked unperturbed no matter what

happened.

“Miss Sinclair, those are just rumors and gossip. The netizens just can’t stand seeing other people

living a good life. I hope you don’t mind that. You are now the pillar of Shaw’s Jewelry Co., so please

don’t be affected by the malicious news—”

Tom was quite a humble person who was terrible at giving advice. He just spoke whatever he thought

in good will, but the more he said, the more anxious he became.

Elise calmly looked at her laptop and smiled after she returned to her senses. “You don’t think that such

news will affect me, do you?”

Just as Tom finally sorted out his thoughts, he cast them aside once again and thought about her

question before replying, “You looked terrible earlier, though.”

Elise slightly frowned. “I just can’t think of anyone who would do this to me at this time.”

Tom was speechless upon hearing her reply. You should tell me that earlier! I was so shocked just now.

“I have a good guess.” He gave it a thought before his expression became more solemn.

“Who is it?” She raised her head to look at him.

“The Saunders Family in Landred City,” he seriously answered.

“Oh, the Saunderses?” Elise arched her eyebrow. Then, as though she suddenly remembered

something, she smiled in surprise. “Oh, right! I actually forgot that my biggest competitor is the

Saunders Family!”

However, it was not the main reason. Written on the documents that Kenneth passed to her was the

fact that Clemence now worked for the Saunders Family.

At the mention of this, Tom immediately flared up. “At the auction last time, I knew that they would not

give it a rest after you argued with that woman from the Saunders Family! No one in that family has

good intentions!”

“Why do you say so?” Elise asked.

“It’s because of their attacks that the sales in Shaw’s Jewelry Co. have fallen over the past few years.

Otherwise, our long-lasting business would not have landed at this stage today.”
