Bring Your A Game, Mr

Chapter 860

"You don't have to do this. It's my decision and it has nothing to do with the company. I've already found

a suitable replacement for my position, so the company's business won't be affected," Ariel spoke while

pushing his hand away and turning her face away.

Her emotions were everywhere, so she could not control herself and ended up mentioning things she

should not have.

"What about me?" Danny looked at her solemnly and asked, "Did you ever consider me?"

After letting out a long breath, she forced herself to keep her cold attitude and said, "I wish you a happy

marriage, but I'm sorry that I might not be able to attend your wedding."

"You're jealous." He moved forward and almost pressed his whole body onto hers. "You're sad. You like

me, don't you?"

"No, I don't." Ariel stubbornly refused to look at him.

"If so, why did you leave without a word when I said I'm getting married? How do you explain that?"

Danny pestered on.

Now that she could not retreat anymore, she finally broke down and exclaimed, "Yes!"

Her eyes were widened but filled with reluctance and heartbreak. "I do like you and I did fall for you, but

that's all in the past. You already have someone else and I've already missed my chance. Even if…

Hmph—"

Without giving her a chance to continue, Danny cupped her face with his hands and kissed her lips.

Ariel only resisted for a second before subconsciously reciprocating the kiss.

After Danny noticed that they were both breathing heavily, he carefully let her go. His obsidian eyes

were wet with tears and he looked exactly like an abandoned child.

"Ariel, I love you. I love you so much. There's no fiancé and I'm not going to marry anyone. I did all that

to trigger you. I know what I did is too much, but I'm so envious of Jamie. I'm jealous that he has

Narissa's response. I've waited seven years and I can't wait anymore, so I decided to be selfish for

once."

"You rejected me seven years ago because I was immature. Now, I have made a name for myself, so

can you please not push me away?"

Meanwhile, Ariel felt like her heart had melted, but her body reacted on its own and rejected him. "I

can't. Regardless if it was seven years ago or now, you're in your prime while I've gotten old. You

should be looking for a woman your age and you'll get criticized by others if you're with me."

Danny was at a loss for what to say. If he had been worried about such things, he would not have

stayed true to his feelings for seven years.

After adjusting his breathing, he stated seriously, "So, you're saying I'm too old, and being with me is

very embarrassing. Am I right?"

"What are you talking about? It's me who's—"

Ariel was trying to talk some sense into him, but Danny covered her mouth with his hand.

He leaned in, tilted his head, and touched the hair by his ears. "Do you see this? I have white hair

now."

After saying that, he paused and turned back around to look into Ariel's eyes before reasoning, "I grow

old pretty quickly. After a few years, I'll be the one being pointed at when we go out hand-in-hand.

People will be criticizing me for having a girlfriend that is much younger than me. Will you turn your

back on me if that happens?"

Ariel felt like crying and laughing. "How could I do that?"

"That's all I need." Danny looked at her with determination in his eyes. "You wouldn't change your mind

because of my looks, so why would I change my mind because of your age?"

"Ariel." He tightly held her hand. "We've already missed seven years, so let's not miss anymore."

After sniffing her nose, she asked, "So, if I decide to just stay at home and look like a pretty woman, will

you still like me?"

"What?" Danny laughed. "Of course, I will. You're such a capable woman and I'd be delighted if you're

willing to retreat to the sidelines and let me provide for you!"

He raised his right pinky and said, "So, we've reached an agreement. I'll be responsible for making

money and providing for the family while you stay at home and be responsible for looking beautiful.

Let's make a pinky promise. If you run away, you'll turn into a puppy!"

"Why am I the only one making a promise?" Ariel was unconvinced.

Danny pulled her into his arms and held her tightly. "Because I'd never run away. I am your puppy."

…

Elise's biography was still in the preparation phase, but to maintain her popularity, she decided to

publish a she finished while she was abroad.

The launch of her new was smooth sailing with Jamie being the emcee.

One hour before the event, Elise arrived at the venue.

Jamie came out to welcome her, but he was busy looking around while playing with the two kids.

Following his gaze, she then looked behind her and asked, "What are you looking for?"

"Nothing." He acted nonchalantly and shrugged. Then, he stated casually, "It's such a lively event, but

Narissa isn't here. How strange."

After they test-drove the sports car together, he could no longer get a hold of Narissa anymore. He

thought she regretted her decision and decided not to continue being friends anymore, so he was

afraid to look for her.

"Don't you know?" Elise asked, "Narissa has left the country. She's going home to get ready for her

blind date and take over her family business."

"What? Blind date? When did that happen?" Jamie was dumbfounded.

"The Cuber Family had originally promised her to someone, but she insisted on finding true love and

ran away. I think she went back because she had lost hope about her feelings," she explained in a

meaningful way.

Those words rendered Jamie speechless.

Meanwhile, Danny and Ariel came over hand-in-hand.

Jamie stared at their intertwined hands for quite a while before raising his head to see the smug look

on Danny's face.

"Are you guys…" Elise looked at them with anticipation.

"We're…" Danny dragged the word and lifted their intertwined hands before announcing, "Dating!"

Meanwhile, Jamie's lips twitched awkwardly. "Ariel, blink twice if you need help. Don't worry. I'll help

you escape from him."

"You're looking for death!" Danny punched Jamie's stomach.

Their actions made Ariel and the others laugh. "Thank you, Mr. Keller, but this time, I got together with

him willingly."

While she said that, she wrapped her arms around Danny's arm and leaned into his embrace.

Then, Jamie began his exaggerated act. "Oh, heavens. Even Danny has found a wife. This is more

torturous than killing me!"

"Hey, hey, hey. That's enough. Don't say it like I'm a bad person." Danny pouted.

His girlfriend was right here, so how could Jamie embarrass him?

"Am I not speaking the truth?"

"Come on. Let's have a duel. You and I must fight until someone is defeated!"

"Come on! I'm not scared!"

After that, the two began to roll their sleeves.

"Are you guys trying to ruin the event?"

When Alexander's voice sounded, the two instantly froze.

Then, Jamie cowardly admitted defeat. "I'm letting you off this time for the sake of my idol."

"Alright, alright. You guys continue chatting while I head inside to oversee the situation. These workers

are all muddleheads and I can't leave them for even a second!"
