Bring Your A Game Mr Chapter 333

That was, indeed, Alexander‘s thought. After he felt her warm presence, he finally cased up.

Elise didn‘t dislike Alexander‘s contact, but the gazes from the other families in the lobby was uncomfortable. With no other choice, she tugged on the hem of his shirt. “We‘re at a hospital,” she reminded.

Alexander reluctantly pulled back before he held her by the arm and thoroughly inspected her. Once he had confirmed for himself that she was unhurt, he relaxed. “Why are you all the way here?”

Elise shrugged helplessly and brandished the bill in her hand. “I was forced to come.”

.Alexander took the bill from her, seemingly understanding the gist of the situation when he saw Janice‘s name on it. “Since when were you two close?”

Elise squeezed out a pained smile. “Is ‘no idea’ a good answer?”

In truth, Elise had no idea how she ended up getting involved with Janice either. In her worldview, there were only two colors–black and white. There was no room for gray. She and Janice were already like fire and water; they should be constantly butting heads with each other.

It was Elise‘s fault for being so soft–hearted. She had wanted to maintain a good relationship with her classmates, but she never expected Janice to try and climb up the status hierarchy. Now, she couldn‘t shake her off even if she wanted to.

Just my luck, Elise mentally lamented.

Alexander‘s lips curved up. “The friendship between girls is always a mystery,” he joked.

“You can stuff it.” Elise had a sour expression on her face. “A passing acquaintance is not a friend, and a one–off act is not enough basis for friendship. I can even say that the president is my friend, but is that possible?”

“With how skilled and talented you are, that‘s not out of the realm of possibility,” Alexander said with a straight face.

I‘m not so poor that I can‘t even pay for a single meal,” she said blandly. With that, she steepled her fingers, supporting her chin with her hands as she looked up at him. A harsh glint shone in her pretty eyes. “If you have the time to make idle chit chat with a woman you have no ties to here, why don‘t you direct some of
