Bring Your A Game, Mr

Chapter 746

Everyone turned around. Right there standing under the streetlamp was an unharmed Narissa,

chewing bubble gum and flaunting arrogantly.

Charissa let go of the man and walked toward the other woman. Her eyes were filled with angry flames

when she growled, "You already knew there was an ambush?!"

"Uh-huh." Narissa merely raised her eyebrows without denying it.

"Who let the news out?!" Charissa turned to question her lackeys.

"Not me."

"Not me either."

"I had nothing to do with it."

They all tried to distance themselves from the situation.

"Alright, alright. Stop with the infighting, will you?" Narissa then explained calmly, "It wasn't them. It was

the bug I planted in your bag the last time we met at the bar."

"You eavesdropping woman! You're so despicable!" one of the boys accused furiously.

"If my eavesdropping is despicable, what do you make of contracting a killer to commit murder?

Contemptible and shameless?" Narissa remained indifferent and unswayed.

These boys were immediately rendered speechless. Indeed, the nature of their action was way more

severe.

She threw them a disdainful look and glanced at Charissa again. "If it wasn't for this bug, I wouldn't

have been aware that you have feelings toward Jamie. There's nothing embarrassing about that, but if

you harm others because of it… you can't call yourself a decent person."

"I will give the lot of you another chance because you are his friends. Apologize to me, and I will

consider that this incident never took place."

"Do you think I'll believe you?" Charissa sneered.

"Don't believe me? What do you want, then? To fight me?" Narissa's eyes were full of provocation.

"Don't be impulsive. You can't beat her." A lackey pulled Charissa back. She merely stared at Narissa

ferociously, but didn't do anything after all.

Had they dared to come and compete with her in an upright manner, Narissa would have respected

them as equals. Now, seeing them bullying the weak and fearing the strong… there was nothing else

but traces of contempt in her eyes.

"Honestly, I don't quite understand. How can people like you who do sneak attacks behind others'

backs befriend Jamie?"

With that, she chose to turn around and leave.

Just as she was leaving, Charissa suddenly yelled from behind and charged toward her. "Narissa

Cuber!"

Feeling a cold breeze coming in her direction, Narissa halted her footsteps, nimbly turned sideways

and avoided the dagger Charissa was holding. Immediately, she grabbed Charissa's wrist, backhanded

with force and plunged the dagger directly into Charissa's shoulder blade. She fixed her eyes on

Charissa's face for two seconds before pushing her away.

Charissa fell to the ground. At once, blood gushed out of her wound, dyeing her clothes red.

"Charissa!" Several lackeys quickly surrounded her and helped her up from the ground.

Narissa, however, was phlegmatic. She stood there looking all unmoved, and her voice was chilly as

she spoke. "Remember, I'm not a fool nor a blind person. Treat this as your lesson. If there is another

time, be warned that the dagger will be plunged elsewhere in your body." She then walked out of the

alley without looking back.

"Call an ambulance, quick!"

Several lackeys hurriedly carried Charissa to the side of the road. After calling the hospital, one of them

thought for a while before taking out his mobile phone and dialed another number.

As soon as the other side was connected, he reported agitatedly, "Mr. Keller, there's bad news! Narissa

had stabbed Charissa!"

——

…

When Jamie arrived at the hospital, Charissa had already been bandaged and sent to the general ward

for an infusion. The lackeys quickly surrounded him as he appeared and began accusing Narissa.

"Mr. Keller, it is obvious that Narissa is over the top. No matter what beef we had before, it's not right

for her to use a knife against Charissa!"

"We went to her to apologize for your sake, but she stabbed Charissa without saying a word. You must

be careful with this scheming woman!"

"You must side with Charissa! We've had each others' backs for so long!"

Jamie felt vexed by the non-stop accusations. "Alright, alright. Just stop, will you? I will give you an

explanation after I clear the air."

They reluctantly stopped, but it was evident that their anger was not released. They had already made

up their minds that as long as they kept their story straight in blaming everything on Narissa, Jamie

would definitely stand by them.

"Go on, then. She's in there," one of the boys said deliberately. Jamie did not think much. He nodded

while pushing the ward door open and walked in.

Sitting on the bed, a pale-looking Charissa was slightly at a loss when she saw him. After all, she

wasn’t sure if Jamie would ever find out that they were falsely incriminating Narissa. If he did, they

could no longer be friends.

"Are you all right?" Jamie took the initiative to speak, breaking the silence.

"Much better," she replied weakly. As soon as she finished talking, she saw the lackeys outside hinting

at her hard and encouraging her to express her thoughts.

Clinging to the quilt and after hesitating for a long time, she finally mustered up the courage. "Jamie, I-I

have something to tell you. I have always liked—"

"Stop it right here," he interrupted her. "I know what you're going to say, but Charissa, we are friends.

Some words… once they are out, things can never return to where they were before." He stood up and

turned around. "I'll pretend that you never said anything. Now, if she really hurt you, I will definitely have

her apologize to you in person."

When Charissa heard that, her eyes turned red and she looked as if she was about to cry. Still, her

stubbornness prevented her from doing so. "If she denied everything, would you believe her or us?"

Jamie kept silent for a while and in the end, he merely left without saying anything.

…

Jamie found Narissa at a sober bar on Tissote Bar Street. After approaching and sitting down next to

her, Jamie calmly ordered a glass of Long Island Iced Tea.

Just then, she turned to look at him. "Just ask whatever that's on your mind."

It was only after Jamie had emptied half of his glass that he replied expressionlessly, "Charissa and the

others said you stabbed her."

"That's right. I did it." Her eyes were as tranquil as the calm sea. She was only speaking the truth. "She

tried stabbing me with a knife but she couldn't. She brought this upon herself—it's that simple. What

else do you want to ask?"

Jamie shook his head. "I see."

"You believe me?" Truth was, Narissa was a little surprised.

"Why not?" He looked at his glass and was lost in thought. "You are just like Boss. You both have an

insipid personality and never like to fight with others so naturally, you have no reasons to frame them."

He paused for a second and raised his head. His voice was suddenly overflowing with sentiment when

he stated, "She and the others were not that bad before. Perhaps I didn't handle things in a measured

manner and that's caused her to harbor feelings toward me."

Without a warning, he suddenly wrapped his arm around Narissa's shoulder and announced, "You're

the best, you know? Friends forever!"
