Bring Your A Game, Mr

Chapter 946

In fact, Narissa could feel that Jamie cared about her but was unwilling to admit it.

However, she couldn't understand it. Is it that hard for him to admit that he likes me? Is it that embarrassing to

personally tell me he loves me?

She needed him to personally speak out those answers rather than for her to guess the answers based on her

feelings.

That was because she didn't want to become the laughingstock of others and get criticized for being delusional

anymore.

After a moment's silence, Jamie suddenly felt unconfident. "Even if you don't have someone you like now doesn't

mean you won't have one in the future. You can't give up the rest of your life just because of a moment's

depression. I won't allow it."

"You won't allow it?" Narissa's eyes were wet with tears, so she slightly raised her head to stop her tears from

falling. "Who are you to say that?"

"We're friends," Jamie answered without hesitation, telling her the same answer he would say to Elise and

Alexander.

"Friends?" With a self-mocking laugh, Narissa looked at him with teary eyes. "Goodbye, friend!"

She never wanted a friend!

This time, she left decisively and without giving Jamie a chance to stop her.

"Wait!" Jamie screamed from behind her. "Are you really going to marry Gale even if he's a wicked person?!"

"What other choice do I have?" Without turning back, Narissa retorted, "Should I marry you?"

He was silent again.

Of course, if she still loved him, he would be willing to marry her.

However, she had chosen Gale, which meant her heart belonged to another person. Moreover, what she just said

was out of anger, so what right did he have to say yes?

There he is again, avoiding the problem, Narissa thought.

Feeling utterly disappointed in him, she suppressed her sobs and called for Princess. Then, she left with her dog

without looking back.

Meanwhile, Jamie looked at her back as she gradually left. He felt like someone had taken away his heart, causing

his chest to feel empty.

It was then that he finally understood the meaning behind Alexander's words. If you don't have the right to protect

her or don't even have an open relationship with her, how can you protect your Princess?

…

That afternoon, the flight from Cittadel to Wegas landed according to schedule.

After Ariel met up with Rebecca, she drove her mother to the hotel.

Just after they left the airport, Rebecca discreetly prodded, "Where's Danny? Why didn't he come with you?"

"He's been busy lately and doesn't have spare time to accompany me here. He did ask me to greet you on his

behalf." Ariel's answer was flawless.

The truth was that Danny had been slow in replying to her messages lately. His only explanation was that he was

busy at the company, but she didn't know what kept him so occupied.

Danny had several identities, which was why he would suddenly disappear for some time, so she didn't think much

about it.

Rolling her eyes, Rebecca rebuked, "All men are the same. Since you've given him your heart, you'd better watch

him like a hawk!"

Ariel thought her mother was overthinking things, so she smiled and explained, "He's different from other men. He's

like a puppy, and puppies are loyal."

When Rebecca heard that, she shook her head. "Women who are in love can't think straight. In the end, you still

need me to help you make sure he's the right man for you. Let's head over to find him now. Only by suddenly

checking up on him can you discover his secret."

"I think we'd better not. It seems childish to do that." Ariel didn't want to cause more trouble for Danny, so she kept

rejecting her mom.

"Do as I say. When have you become so talkative? Do you think just because you've grown up that I can't order you

to do things anymore just because you've all grown up?" Rebecca began guilt-tripping Ariel.

While her mother was resting, Ariel quietly took out her phone, wanting to text Danny.

However, just as she unlocked her phone, a hand reached over and grabbed her phone away.

Rebecca locked the phone and kept it in her pocket. "Don't you even try giving him a heads up."

Ariel could only give up.

In the meantime, on the eighteenth floor of a particular high-rise building, the whole building was empty, and

besides the newly added office furniture, the place was barren.

Danny was in a daze while sitting in the chair inside the president's office with a half-burnt cigarette between his

lips. Without him realizing it, the cigarette's ash was so long that it fell off and dropped on his expensive coat.

It was until Clara Hissinger took the cigarette away and put it out with her slim fingers that Danny finally woke up

from his daze and adjusted his posture.

"Why are you here?" Danny's face was gloomy, and he didn't hide his displeasure.

"Don't be so rude." While casually setting her bag on the table, Clara observed the room.

Then, he immediately pushed his chair backward and sprang to his feet. "What the heck are you doing?!"

Feeling confused, she asked, "What's the matter, Dan Dan?"

He felt goosebumps rise all over his body. At that moment, his phone rang and saved him momentarily.

"It's me. I picked Mom up, but she said she wants to come over and visit you. We're already here, so you don't have

to come down to greet us. We're getting in the elevator now."

That was a call Ariel made at the risk of getting scolded. She received a disdainful look from her mother when she

hung up the phone.

Meanwhile, Danny looked at the lock screen on his phone, and then at Clara. He pondered for a moment before

approaching her.

"M-Master Danny—"

Smack!

To satisfy her wish, Danny slapped her unconscious.

The world was finally quiet again.

Just as he was feeling relieved, he heard the elevator ring and immediately pulled Clara outside of his office before

stuffing her inside one of the employee's lockers.

Right after he fastened the locks, Ariel led Rebecca through the door.

Danny immediately stood up straight and greeted them with a smile. "Mom, you're here."

Rebecca hummed in reply before letting go of Ariel to look around the office, trying to find the signs of something.

However, Danny cleaned his tracks well, which rendered Rebecca unable to find anything out of the ordinary.
