Bring Your A Game Mr Chapter 254

Madeline’s face instantly shifted between an interesting range of colors. Wasn’t the most sightly thing to see, but Quentin ignored her. “Ellie, I’ve heard that you were the highest scorer in the college entrance examination for your city. That’s an amazing feat! Which university did you apply to?”

Elise chuckled. “Tissote University! But I still haven’t gotten my letter of admission yet. It’ll probably arrive in a few more days.”

“Tissote University is among the crème de la crème nationally! Since you managed to get a spot there, it just shows how smart you are! I’m so proud of you!” Quentin had a look of pride on his face. He couldn’t wait to announce this piece of good news to the world.

“Thank you for all the compliments. I’ll continue to work hard.”

“Do your best! I have high expectations of you.”

Everybody could see every one of the pair’s interactions. Madeline was well and thoroughly stunned. She never once thought that Elise and Quentin would know each other, and from the looks of things, they were close as well.

The bystanders were smart; they had been a little taken aback by Elise when they saw her, a strange girl, dancing with Alexander, earlier. Now that they saw her interacting affectionately with Quentin, they surmised that Elise was no ordinary girl.

raised an eyebrow slightly. He couldn’t accept others calling him that, so he gave Maya a terse reply. “No need for such stiff politeness, Miss Dahlen!” His curt response was enough to establish his attitude; his tone with her and with Elise seemingly came

at Quentin. She simply smiled instead. “I’ve heard about you for a long time, Uncle Quentin. Now that I’ve met you in person, you seem to be a little different from what all the legends say. After all, the Quentin Fassbender that people whisper of is a solemn and serious businessman. However, I feel like you’re far friendlier than what the rumors said about you.” Her choice of words was absolutely beautiful; no regular person would have been able

Now that Madeline saw what just happened, things weren’t as how Maya said they were. On the contrary, Elise seemed even closer to Quentin than Maya was! However, Elise is just a country bumpkin.

roadblock in Madeline’s plans. She had been thinking that if Elise and Quentin were that close, it wouldn’t be entirely impossible for the Griffiths to make inroads with the Fassbenders. But now that Elise said so, her plan wouldn’t work anymore. Well, I suppose that’s to be expected. How could anyone
