Bring Your A Game, Mr

Chapter 211 You're Cute When You Get Jealous

Though his explanation made sense, Elise still pouted and asked, "What was going on when she held your arm, then?"

"That was also a misunderstanding," Alexander explained. "I promise I will never let any other woman apart from you come close to me ever again."

Upon hearing that, she snorted out laughing. "Really?"

He nodded seriously and murmured, "Yes."

Now that's more like it. With all the questions answered, Elise felt her mood becoming better. However, the next second, Alexander stopped the car by the roadside and leaned over to her. As he had pressed himself in front of her, they were quite close to each other. "I realize that you can be quite cute when you get jealous."

She blushed and quickly pushed him away. "I'm not jealous! I-I'm just—”

However, Alexander's warm lips pressed against hers before she could even finish her sentence. Elise's mouth was slightly parted as she slowly closed her eyes, while Alexander slowly stretched his tongue into her mouth and tasted her sweetness. The small space in the car was now filled with love.

Feeling that she was running out of breath, Elise quickly pushed him away. "Continue... driving."

Alexander merely lowered his head and smiled. "Ellie, why are you so shy?"

Upon hearing that, she blushed even further. "Stop rubbing it in! Next time, keep your distance and don't touch me."

However, Alexander shook his head. "I think I can't hold myself back anymore."

"That can't happen. You have to!"

Elise looked at him solemnly and Alexander acquiesced. "Alright, I'll try my best. Let's go back home now."

With that, he started the car again and drove in the direction of the Griffith Residence. Meanwhile, Elise looked at the scenery outside the window and could not help but gaze at herself in the rearview mirror. At this moment, her face was flushed red with the shyness of a teenage girl, making her look like a lovestruck teen.

Admit it, Elise Sinclair-you have really fallen for him!

When they reached home, Brendan was holding a stack of papers in his hand as he sat in the living room. When he heard the noise, he quickly asked, "Who's back, Stella?” "It's Young Master Alex and Miss Elise," Stella replied promptly.

Brendan's movements immediately paused before he raised his head and closed the folder on the papers he had been holding. The very next second, he saw both of them walking into the house, smiling as they chatted with each other.

"Alexander! Elise!" He took the initiative to greet them. Then, he looked at Elise.

"Why are you back so early today?" Alexander asked. Brendan quickly retracted his gaze as he mumbled, "Something cropped up at the studio, so I came back first. Elise, I have something to ask for your help Is it convenient for you now?"

Though surprised, Elise replied, "You can just tell me what it is."

It was actually not a big deal. Lately, Brendan kept himself occupied with the techniques Elise used to sew the wedding dress. He could not wait to know why her technique was so similar to that of Lily, the designer who retired from the design industry for many years. Hence, Brendan found an excuse, wanting to get to the bottom of this.

"The thing is, I saw that you have some talent and knowledge in fashion design. I have a client this time who wants a custom-designed wedding dress, but she is not satisfied with a few of my drawings. I would like you to have a look for me or maybe make some amendments on my drawings."

Upon hearing that, Elise looked taken aback. "Me?"

Brendan nodded in response. "I saw the wedding dress you modified last time. Be it the design or the needlework, the quality is on par of that of a professional designer. Would it be alright for you to lend me a hand in this?"

"But I'm not a professional. Aren't you worried that I might mess it up for you?"

Brendan merely smiled upon hearing that. "Since I've already asked for your help, of course I have faith in you. Plus, I haven't had much thought about anything else."

Elise hesitated. It had been a while since she designed something, so she wondered if her hands were able to produce a drawing of a nice wedding dress. "Let me think about it," she replied.

Upon seeing the situation, Brendan quickly asked, "Do you have other concerns? You can just let me know if that's the case."

Elise pursed her lips. "Not a lot of concerns, but-"

It was quite obvious that she had some reasons not to accept his offer, so Brendan said, "It's okay. You can think about it first before giving me a reply. I'm not in a hurry."

Elise hummed in agreement. "It's alright. It's just that my study schedule is quite packed, so I don't have a lot of time."

"Oh that's fine. The client is only getting married by the end of the year, so it's not urgent."

When Elise heard that, she nodded. "Alright, then! Since tomorrow is the weekend, I'll drop by your office to take a look."

Seeing that she had agreed, Brendan beamed. Then, he passed over the papers in his hand. "These are my designs. You can take a look at them."

Elise took them over and murmured, "Alright. I'll take a look." With that, she bade farewell to both of them and went upstairs.

However, Alexander looked at Brenden and said, "I don't think the matter isn't as simple as asking for her help, is it?"

Brendan met his gaze and slowly replied, "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from you, Alexander."

Alexander merely frowned. "We're family. You can just be straightforward with me."

However, since Brendan had not come to a conclusion, he explained, "Currently, I'm not sure either. But don't worry, Alexander. I don't have any other intentions. I just want to confirm a speculation of mine." "Alright." Alexander nodded and commented, "I respect her decision."

Meanwhile, Brendan was grateful for his understanding. "Thank you, Alexander!"

With a loud thud, Elise closed the door and placed her bag down. It was only then that she pulled a chair and sat down. Right after that, she immediately looked at Brendan's drawings. She stayed up until quite late before she finished looking through all his designs.

From the drawings, she could tell that Brendan had a strong foundation in design. It was definitely with more than a decade of practice seeing that he was able to reach this stage. However, she also realized that his designs lacked creativity and courage, and his ideas were still the same as his usual thought patterns.

The next day, Elise went to his design studio early in the morning. Other employees in the studio had already arrived and some of them knew Elise. Molly, especially, greeted her warmly as soon as she saw her. "Miss Sinclair, what brings you here?"

Elise smiled in return. "I'm just dropping by."

Molly was grateful for Elise's advice that made her find her own blindspot in her designs. Right now, the former was not an assistant anymore and she was promoted to a junior designer in the field.

"In that case, please take a seat in the guest room. I'll bring you a cup of coffee."

"That's fine. I'll just go to Mr. Griffith's office."

Upon hearing that, Molly quickly said, "I'll take you there then."

When Brendan saw Elise's arrival, he quickly stood up. "There you are, Elise."
