Bring Your A Game, Mr novel Chapter 8

“I…” Elise felt as if a bomb had exploded in her head. She had imagined the scenario of someone discovering what she really looked like, but she didn’t expect it to happen so soon! What do I do now? she thought.

Matthew stared at Elise’s face thoughtfully as several possibilities crossed his mind. It’s her. Is she the real Elise? Did she change her appearance? Or is this what she looks like after doing so?

Elise was kind of creeped out by Matthew’s stare. Nevertheless, she tried to keep calm. “Why don’t we have a talk first, Young Master Matthew?”

“Okay.”

“Well, please come in first.” Elise opened the door with a soft sigh of relief.

Matthew put down the clothes in his hand while asking curiously, “Anyway, may I ask you a question before we talk?”

He doesn’t mince his words. Great. I can save some effort talking to the smarter ones, Elise thought. “You want to ask me why I changed my appearance, right?” she asked. Seeing that Matthew nodded, she curled her lips and said slowly, “Because I hate the idea of an arranged marriage, that’s why.”

“It seems you and I have the same goal, Miss Sinclair.”

“Oh?” Elise responded in confusion. Why would Matthew object to an arranged marriage that would do the Griffiths a lot of good? She didn’t understand what was on his mind. But who cares? It’s none of my business, she thought. Taking the opportunity, she said, “In that case, can you help me keep this a secret, Young Master Matthew? Don’t worry. I won’t let you do it for nothing. I’ll help you once in return.”

“You can’t help me. No one can help me with what I want to do,” Matthew replied in self-mockery. Nevertheless, he did her a favor, saying, “Okay, I promise you.”

“Thanks.”

Suddenly recalling that he was here to bring her clothes, Matthew pointed to the clothes on the table and said, “Be careful next time. There’d be no remedying the situation if someone else discovers what you really look like. For now, get changed. I’ll be waiting for you outside. We’ll be going downstairs together when you’re done.”
