Bring Your A Game, Mr novel Chapter 140

Chapter 140 Look Into a Person

“No matter who it is, we’ll have to be on guard. Upgrade our security system right away and set up firewalls around our connectivity to the internet. Then we’ll be able to track their IP down the next time they attack.”

At once, Jamie answered, “Got it. I’ll do it right away.”

Then, Elise ran another check on the internal system and repaired some loopholes before giving it a final check. The attackers must have been well prepared with how they left no traces after the breach.

Having been preoccupied by the incident until afternoon, she proceeded to leave the building. She took the elevator and descended to the first floor, only to find out the building was crowded by someone’s fans. Baffled, she halted her steps and read the sign in the fan’s hand—Charlene Rivers.

Many memories from the past flashed across her mind when she saw that name. They lived in the same world, yet Elise had always managed to neglect her. What a small world!

“Charlene! Charlene!” The fans, cramped in one space, chanted Charlene’s name in unison. Shortly after, Charlene walked up the stage under her bodyguard’s escort. She grabbed a microphone and smilingly greeted the audience, “Hello, everyone. I’m Charlene Rivers. It’s an honor to see you here.”

Elise, standing amidst the crowd, watched as the elegant, dashing Charlene walked up the stage. There was an indescribable emotion in her eyes.

Now, Charlene had become an A-list singer who had published numerous albums that topped charts and received multiple music awards. She had become a musical icon of the era. Regardless, Elise had no interest in her, so she simply turned around and left.

Unexpectedly, not far away stood Noel, who saw Elise and hurried over to her, grabbing her by the wrist. “Why are you here?”

Immediately, Elise scowled and turned her head, gazing at her constricted forearm. “Do I need to report everything I do to you?”

Quickly, Noel let go of her. “I didn’t mean it like that. I’m just surprised to see you attending Charlene’s fan meeting.”

Elise’s face was rather emotionless, even when it came to the person who she once was the closest to. Monotonously, she answered, “You’re overthinking it. I’m only here by chance. I have no interest in her affairs.”

Noel was visibly unconvinced. The Elise that was currently in front of him was as stubborn as the one he knew in the past. “Nevermind. Charlene said she misses you very much and wishes to explain to you what happened back then. Why don’t I arrange a meeting for the two of you?”

Elise gave him a mocking smirk and pursed her lips. “Do you think there’s still a need for that now?”

Hearing that, Noel assumed that she was still holding grudges on the incident many years back, but Charlene was innocent in the matter as well. They could’ve sat down together and had a proper discussion about it. If they had done that, perhaps Elise would have given up on the resentment and returned to her singing career, which was the dreams of many music enthusiasts.

“H, in spite of everything, you’re old friends. Just see it as a reunion, can you?”

Elise remained silent. All of a sudden, a familiar tune was played on the stage, and she heard Charlene saying, “Next up, I’ll be presenting a hit of mine—Stargazing.”

It was Charlene’s most popular song since her debut. After so many years, it was still one of the top songs in pop music charts—one that was familiar to many.

And so, once the song’s prelude played, every single fan that was present started chorusing.
