Bring Your A Game, Mr -
Chapter 636
Chapter 636 Something Happened to Alexander!
When Elise clicked into his profile, she saw a series of messages-all were from Alexander.
'When you were by my side, I always felt time pass by so fast. Now that you are not by my side, it is only now that I understand how a second can feel like a decade.'
'I've arrived in Fornd today. Everything went well. How are you doing?'
'I want to see you, but I'm afraid I can't hold myself back when I look for you. So, I can only tell you here.'
'Ellie.'
'I know you dislike someone pestering you the most, but I just miss you so, so much. I really want to put aside my pride and dignity to beg you to come back. Are you aware of my feelings?'
'It's happy to meet each other, but it's bitter to part with each other. I have tasted the bitter part these few days, but when will this suffering end?'
'Just send me a message, just one. Don't even think of abandoning me.'
Don't even think of abandoning me.
Now that he was faced with the person whom he loved, even someone of Alexander's caliber would also feel insecure when it came to Elise.
As she read through the messages, she felt terrible. Thus, she quickly turned off her phone again and threw it into her purse.
Out of sight, out of mind.
...
The next day, Elise returned to her university and she made her way toward the principal's office in the evening to deal with affairs relating to the establishment of scholarships.
Since the principal was the one who directly contacted Elise about the establishment of the scholarships, such an action had significantly simplified the procedures. After both parties signed the contract, the deal was successful.
"Miss Sinclair, it's an honor for Tissote University to have a student like you." Leon got up and reached out with his hand to clasp hers. "On behalf of the university and the students who have been awarded with the scholarships, I hereby thank you for your dedication." "Sir, I thought we had agreed on this. There's no need for such small talk as I'm not used to it," Elise responded with a wry smile.
"Well then, let's not talk about this." Leon withdrew his hand. Then, he took out two tickets from his drawer and placed them on the table in front of Elise. "Here are two tickets for an art exhibition. You can take your friends to visit the art exhibition and relax if you have time."
"Thank you, sir." She accepted it as it wasn't something priceless. "If everything is good to go, I shall take my leave first."
"Go, go," he replied warmly.
Elise nodded. Immediately afterward, she rose to her feet and left.
The assistant who was on the sidelines hurriedly trotted over when he saw this. Then, he nudged the principal with his elbow and signaled at him like crazy. Leon finally understood what his assistant was trying to imply, and he instantly called out and stopped Elise. "M-Miss Sinclair! A moment of your time, please!" She paused and turned around at his exclamation. "Is there anything else?"
"Umm... The university is about to film a new season of admissions promotional videos. The school committee has discussed it and they concluded that your image is exceptionally suitable for the video. So, I'm wondering whether you would like to film a short video for your alma mater." Leon was a little embarrassed to ask her about such a thing. After all, he had just accepted Elise's scholarship deal, yet he was now asking her to film a video. It felt like he intended to take advantage of her generosity.
"No problem," she agreed. "Is there anything else... more?
"No, nothing else more." Leon was overjoyed, so it was obvious that there would be nothing else from him.
After leaving the principal's office, she went back to the dormitory. As soon as she walked to the dormitory's door, she heard Mica on a call with someone.
"I did think about it a little, but where are we going?"
"Okay, up to you."
Elise looked at the greenery outside the hallway and exhaled heavily. It truly is the season of spring; everyone is in love! Since she did not have a habit of eavesdropping, she only stayed outside for a moment. After that, she pushed the door and directly walked toward her bed.
"I have to go. My roommate is back. I'll call you later." Mica promptly hung up the phone when she noticed Elise's return.
"Actually, you can continue with your phone call. Just pretend that I don't exist," Elise teased.
Mica's face burned with embarrassment and she did not answer.
"Was that Sebastian?" Elise asked.
Mica nodded and admitted it when Elise questioned her.
Elise continued pressing her for information, "Are you two together?"
"No, not yet." Mica raised her head, yet her eyes were burning with passion. "But we have a tacit understanding, so it's not much different from being exclusive."
"So, that's like getting along like a couple, but your status is still not officially a couple?" Elise could not help but kindly remind her, "Mica, you must be more careful, considering that you still lack experience in relationships. This world is too cruel to women. Always remember to protect yourself."
"I will!" Mica nodded earnestly.
As she knew that Mica was sensible, all she said was, "Hurry up and go to your date. Don't worry about me. I want to rest in the dormitory for a while since I have been craving sleeping these days."
"Okay, I won't disturb you. Bye, Elise." Mica simply tidied herself up, took her bag, and went out.
Just as Elise was about to go to bed, a notification for a text message suddenly sounded on her phone.
When she opened it, she saw that it was a spam text to multiple numbers at once. The content of the text message was 'Dear 'Apocalypse Strike' players, welcome to the family. Please meet in Hall X after a week. We look forward to your arrival.'
Elise furrowed her eyebrow and thought, What's going on? Someone actually sent this message to my private number that I did not announce to the public?
Then, she remembered vividly that she did not perform the corresponding registration verification when she logged into the 'Apocalypse Strike' game. So how did the other party obtain my information?
It seems like the mastermind behind this 'Apocalypse Strike' is not a mediocre character. However, I wonder if it has anything to do with the bunch of people who are scheming against me.
With those doubts in mind, she immediately turned on the computer and traced the source of the text messages, but in the end, she only tracked down that it was a platform for mass text messages, and there was nothing suspicious. Once again, the trail went cold.
'Apocalypse Strike', a mysterious yet intriguing game.
She did not know if it was because of this that she constantly felt restless. However, at that moment, her exhaustion was gone. Thus, she might as well start investigating Blitzy Entertainment.
A company that prioritizes the adaptation of unspoken rules in the entertainment circle, such as Blitzy Entertainment, is definitely shady. I must eliminate Blitzy Entertainment before I can have the freedom to start my career boldly. There is no supporter behind Blitzy Entertainment who hails from a particularly prominent background, but the company's registered juristic person, Mr. Lowry, has countless interests involved with multiple wealthy and affluent families. Even the Saunders Family has a share in Blitzy Entertainment's
dividends.
Although Mr. Lowry does not look very intelligent, he is very cunning. He is capable enough to unite more than 100 wealthy and well-connected senior executives in the mid-level of Cittadel. While dividing up the interests, he also indirectly handed the responsibility of handling the company's risk to these 100 people. In other words, if I want to act against Blitzy Entertainment and fight with it, I'm challenging more than 100 influential families behind Mr. Lowry at the same time.
She could single-handedly deal with any of these influential members without any effort if she was fighting them one by one, but now that they had become a community of interests, it was indeed a bit troublesome.
While she was in a deep thought about where she should make a breakthrough, her phone rang again. This time, it was from Danny.
Elise pretended she did not see the phone ringing as she figured that Danny only wanted to help Alexander contact her. She kept staring at the phone screen until it went black. Then, she sighed again and continued to examine the computer. However, Danny called again within half a minute.
In a situation like this, he might have an emergency.
Therefore, she answered the phone, tapped on the speaker button, and put the phone on the table from a distance. After that, she spoke to Danny, "What's the matter?"
"Elise! You finally answered the phone! Something happened to Alexander!" "What?!!"
It's no wonder I kept feeling uneasy earlier. Something's wrong with Alexander!
