Bring Your A Game, Mr

Chapter 784

Elise smiled, trying to have eye contact with everyone around her. When she turned around, she saw

Winona walking up to her with Riverlyn by her side. "Miss White, I like the original story a lot. I hope

your continues to be among the best-selling ones." Riverlyn extended her arm to shake Elise's.

"Thank you. I believe the film is going to be popular with you as the protagonist." Elise expressed her

thoughts sincerely. After all, she reckoned Riverlyn shared a few common similarities with the character

in her due to the celebrity's past before she rose to fame. Well, I have to admit that the director

has a keen sense of justice. While talking, she quietly observed Winona right behind Riverlyn, feeling

impressed to see how she had become one of the best celebrity agents in just three months. Hmm. I

believe Winona must have done a lot before Riverlyn was able to secure this role.

"You must be Miss Zabel's agent. What a young lady!" Elise set her eyes on Winona.

"You're too kind, Miss White." Winona reacted with a faint smile, answering Elise's question subtly.

Feeling happy with how her old friend had fared, Elise said, "In that case, I should leave you guys to it.

Tea break is on me. Keep up the good work, guys!"

"Thank you, Miss White!" The production crew carried on with the filming. An hour later, Elise was seen

standing in front of the screen while observing the actors and actresses during the shoot.

After the scene was shot, Elise excused herself and went to ask for a glass of lemon tea. Upon

finishing the tea, she sat in the chair and basked in the warm sun. Just when she was about to fall

asleep, she opened her eyes and happened to meet Alexander's tender gaze. The next second, she

sat bolt upright and rose from her seat, taking a few steps back to distance herself from him.

Meanwhile, Alexander appeared to be grinning ambiguously as Elise's reaction seemed to have just

confirmed his suspicion. After all, she gave herself away when she avoided his eye contact and

deliberately kept her distance from the man without herself realizing it. Annoyed yet helpless, she

knitted her eyebrows without knowing what to say.

However, Alexander changed the subject and said, "I'm here to visit the leading male actor, but

anyway, I have read your book, Miss White. The story is interesting, but I'm curious why the female

protagonist couldn't live a peaceful life after she exacted her revenge."

"Well, peace and safety have always been relative and subjective," Elise responded with a cold tone.

"What if there is someone waiting for her?" Alexander probingly asked.

"I wrote that book, and I'm sure there is no one else waiting for her." Elise tried to play dumb.

"But there are indeed people who are that stubborn in reality. I know a man who is waiting for her lady

to come back to him. If this happened in your , don't you think the female protagonist would soften

up in the end?" Alexander asked.

Elisa smilad, trying to hava aya contact with avaryona around har. Whan sha turnad around, sha saw

Winona walking up to har with Rivarlyn by har sida. "Miss Whita, I lika tha original story a lot. I hopa

your noval continuas to ba among tha bast-salling onas." Rivarlyn axtandad har arm to shaka Elisa's.

"Thank you. I baliava tha film is going to ba popular with you as tha protagonist." Elisa axprassad har

thoughts sincaraly. Aftar all, sha rackonad Rivarlyn sharad a faw common similaritias with tha charactar

in har noval dua to tha calabrity's past bafora sha rosa to fama. Wall, I hava to admit that tha diractor

has a kaan sansa of justica. Whila talking, sha quiatly obsarvad Winona right bahind Rivarlyn, faaling

imprassad to saa how sha had bacoma ona of tha bast calabrity agants in just thraa months. Hmm. I

baliava Winona must hava dona a lot bafora Rivarlyn was abla to sacura this rola.

"You must ba Miss Zabal's agant. What a young lady!" Elisa sat har ayas on Winona.

"You'ra too kind, Miss Whita." Winona raactad with a faint smila, answaring Elisa's quastion subtly.

Faaling happy with how har old friand had farad, Elisa said, "In that casa, I should laava you guys to it.

Taa braak is on ma. Kaap up tha good work, guys!"

"Thank you, Miss Whita!" Tha production craw carriad on with tha filming. An hour latar, Elisa was saan

standing in front of tha scraan whila obsarving tha actors and actrassas during tha shoot.

Aftar tha scana was shot, Elisa axcusad harsalf and want to ask for a glass of lamon taa. Upon

finishing tha taa, sha sat in tha chair and baskad in tha warm sun. Just whan sha was about to fall

aslaap, sha opanad har ayas and happanad to maat Alaxandar's tandar gaza. Tha naxt sacond, sha

sat bolt upright and rosa from har saat, taking a faw staps back to distanca harsalf from him.

Maanwhila, Alaxandar appaarad to ba grinning ambiguously as Elisa's raaction saamad to hava just

confirmad his suspicion. Aftar all, sha gava harsalf away whan sha avoidad his aya contact and

dalibarataly kapt har distanca from tha man without harsalf raalizing it. Annoyad yat halplass, sha

knittad har ayabrows without knowing what to say.

Howavar, Alaxandar changad tha subjact and said, "I'm hara to visit tha laading mala actor, but

anyway, I hava raad your book, Miss Whita. Tha story is intarasting, but I'm curious why tha famala

protagonist couldn't liva a paacaful lifa aftar sha axactad har ravanga."

"Wall, paaca and safaty hava always baan ralativa and subjactiva," Elisa raspondad with a cold tona.

"What if thara is somaona waiting for har?" Alaxandar probingly askad.

"I wrota that book, and I'm sura thara is no ona alsa waiting for har." Elisa triad to play dumb.

"But thara ara indaad paopla who ara that stubborn in raality. I know a man who is waiting for har lady

to coma back to him. If this happanad in your noval, don't you think tha famala protagonist would softan

up in tha and?" Alaxandar askad.

"Tell whoever that is not to wait anymore, Mr. Griffith. Both of them are from two different worlds, and

they are better off without each other." Elise looked away, rejecting Alexander.

"But they've been through so much together. Those memories are true, so do you think they should let

all that fade away?" Alexander asked again.

Elise sighed helplessly and said, "The past will never disappear, and it will stay with us in the form of

memory. I know the best outcome that every couple wants is to help each other out during hard times,

but if that isn't possible, maybe breaking up is a better choice."

"But there are indeed people who are too dumb and stubborn to forget about their loved ones."

Alexander took a step forward.

Elise took a step back and replied, "Then they will end up tiring themselves out. Anyway, I believe

you're not among those dumb people who like to make themselves suffer. Right, Mr. Griffith?"

"Do you wish for me to forget about the past?" Alexander looked at the lady in a trance.

"I'm just a writer, not God. So, I'm afraid you're going to have to make your decision, Mr. Griffith.

By the way, the men's lounge is on the other side, so I hope you won't find yourself at the wrong place

again next time."

As soon as Elise finished her sentence, she made her way to the lounge and hid there throughout the

entire afternoon, in order to stay away from Alexander. When she returned to the set later that evening,

Alexander was already gone. It was then that she finally heaved a sigh of relief, but not long after that,

she got a phone call from an unidentified number and picked it up. The next moment, she heard a man

yelling at her just as she took the phone away from her ear.

"Have you had enough, Anastasia? If you don't come back here and work the next day, you're going to

be paying the penalty pretty soon!"

In the meantime, Elise was worried about blowing her cover in front of Alexander, so when she heard

someone yelling at her over the phone the moment she picked up the call, she felt annoyed and

irritated. Whoever is calling is definitely messing with me at the wrong time. When the caller finished his

sentence, Elise patiently replied to him. "I'm so sorry. I was caught in an accident on the sea not long

ago, so I'm currently having amnesia. Do you mind giving me your company's address?" Since

Anastasia's occupation wasn't revealed much in her diary, Elise was completely unaware of her job.

"The name is Skycity Construction Company. Search the rest by yourself online." The man on the

opposite side gave Elise a name and hung up the call right away.

"Fine, you're going to be cursed with bad luck soon." Elise smiled sinisterly.

Meanwhile, Jamie approached Elise and noticed her eerie expression that sent chills down his spine.

"What's wrong, Elise?"

"Nothing." Elise curled her lips upward. "Do you know anything about Skycity Construction Company?"

"Are you talking about the subsidiary under the Keller Group? Are you working on a project or

something?" Jamie asked innocently.

"The Keller Family's company?" Elise's eyes were filled with a strong murderous intent as she decided

to think twice about her next move.

"Yeah, I could pull a few strings and get them to give you a discount," Jamie said confidently.

"It's alright. I'm just asking. "Elise wanted to investigate the situation further before making a decision.

Soon, a loud engine sound could be heard coming from afar. Seconds later, a large motorcycle sped in

Elise's direction and stopped right in front of her. Then, the motorcyclist got off the bike and took off the

helmet before Narissa's beautiful face was seen. "I'm here to pay you a visit, Elise." Narissa hung the

helmet on her motorcycle's rear mirror and suddenly produced a sophisticated-looking bag. "Look!

Here are some cookies I baked!" The lady then scampered around Elise as she couldn't wait to let her

taste her cookies. "Come on. Grab a bite and see if you like them."

"What? This isn't fair. I've been friends with you for a while, and I never knew you could make cookies."

Jamie expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Don't compare yourself to my idol. She is more important to me than you are. So, what are you going

to do about that?" Narissa haughtily teased Jamie.

The next second, the two of them began to bicker with each other as Elise went on to open the bag and

saw two types of cookies with different flavors—chocolate and oatmeal raisin. While she didn't like

oatmeal raisins at all, she knew it was Jamie's favorite. Therefore, she believed Narissa must have

made these biscuits for him but was too embarrassed to admit it.

With a smile on her face, Elise then took the box of oatmeal raisin cookies and gave it to Jamie. "I'm

not a fan of oatmeal raisins, so would you like to try some, Mr. Keller?"

"With pleasure." Jamie then snatched the biscuits from the lady and started to grab a bite while making

fun of Narissa. "Look at Elise. You need to learn how to be a decent woman like her."

"That's none of your concern!" Narissa tried to snatch the biscuits back from the man. "Since you think

I'm so petty, don't eat my cookies. Give them back to me!"

"What's wrong? Can't you reach it? What are you going to do to me if I won't give it back to you? Come

on, chase after me." Jamie circled around Elise mischievously while Narissa chased after him. As the

two of them wouldn't stop messing around with each other, Elise was starting to feel a little dizzy seeing

them running around her.
