Bring Your A Game Mr Chapter 10

Be Grateful When Someone Gives You an Out

After getting back to the Griffith Residence, Elise breathed a sigh of relief. So much had happened today, and she still had trouble making sense of it all.

While she was in the car just now, she studied Alexander’s face closely through the rearview mirror, but it was so dark in the car that she didn’t get to see his expression clearly. She had thought a lot about ‌it on their way home, but she still couldn’t figure out why he would step in all of a sudden. It would have been more in character for him to just stand by and look on. Maybe he’s not one to judge people by their looks? An actual good guy perhaps?

Without giving it much thought, she went back to her room and changed out of the evening dress. After deliberately putting on a pair of old-fashioned pajamas, she walked into Alexander’s study; placed on the desk were a tall stack of documents and several photos scattered here and there. “Here’s your suit jacket. Thanks for helping me out just now.”
