Bring Your A Game

Bring Your A Game Mr Chapter 7

Actually, Ashlyn didn’t complete her studies. It was just that the Lawsons spent a lot of money to get her a college degree.

The Lawsons and the Griffiths were old family friends. Not only did Ashlyn grow up loving Alexander, but she had been brought up by the Lawsons as the future Mrs. Griffith ever since she was a child. She didn’t expect Elise to pop up from nowhere. What entitles this ugly country bumpkin to choose one of the Griffith Family’s five sons to be her fiancé? Ashlyn’s face darkened slightly. She can lay a hand on any of them—but not Alexander!

……

The car slowly made it to the Griffith Residence. The other three Griffith siblings were at home, and they warmly greeted Ashlyn, whom they hadn’t seen for a long time.

Ashlyn took out the gifts she had prepared abroad and handed them to everyone. After a pause, she looked at Elise again and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Elise. I only got to know you’re visiting the Griffiths when I came back, so I didn’t prepare a gift for you…”

Elise thought this lady was quite a poser, but before she could speak, the talkative Danny cut in, “What are you apologizing for, Ashlyn? You two aren’t even close.” Then, as he opened his present, he exclaimed in awe, “Wow, it’s the latest game console—and a limited edition one at that! It’s too kind of you, Ashlyn.”

Elise felt alienated from everyone else, but she didn’t want to blend in either, so she went upstairs on her own. After a while, she heard a knock on her bedroom door; she opened the door and looked at Alexander before her in puzzlement.

“The Lawsons are throwing a dinner party tonight to welcome Ashlyn’s return. Grandpa asked me to attend the party with you,” explained Alexander. Since it was his turn to escort Elise around today, the rest of her affairs were handed over to him as well.

Elise didn’t feel like going at first when she heard this, but now that Jonah had asked Alexander to go with her, it would seem improper for her to not attend the party. After giving a sigh, she left for the boutique with Alexander, as well as Ashlyn.

After they arrived at the boutique, Alexander sat down on the couch and waited for the two ladies. Ashlyn took Elise’s hand like a big sister while saying to her, “Elise, don’t be too nervous at the party later. Don’t worry; just ask for me if there’s anything.”
