Bring Your A Game, Mr

Chapter 160 I Already Met Him

Jamie explained, “Not everyone invited on the namelist will attend. As Alexander is rather well-known in

the racing industry, it’s normal for us to invite him. What’s wrong, Boss? Don’t you want to compete with

him?”

Elise had no qualms to do so, but she was only worried that Alexander would recognize her. If that

happens, how should I explain myself?

“Are you able to obtain the list of people who have confirmed that they are participating?” she asked.

After looking at the list, Jamie replied, “I can’t give a confirmed answer now. We will only know on the day

of the competition itself. However, Alexander seems to be quite busy with his company, so I assume that

he doesn’t have time to join competitions like these.”

What he said made sense to Elise as well. As long as she did not run into Alexander, she was willing to

give it a shot. She would treat it as helping the kids at the children’s home.

“Alright, then. Please help to reply to the organizer that I’ve confirmed participating in the competition.

Don’t forget to keep it a secret.”

“Okay. Don’t worry, Boss. I know what to do.”

Even though Jamie had discreetly done as told, the news that Sue was going to participate in the current

racing competition still leaked out. Everyone wondered whether it was deliberately done to increase the

competition’s popularity or to make it more impressive. Nevertheless, once news of her participation

spread in the racing industry, a rather huge storm broke out in the industry and caused those racers who

initially planned to be bystanders to register for the race as well. After all, it was a good opportunity to

compete with the internationally renowned racer, Sue, and they didn’t want to miss the chance.

“Alexander, breaking news! There’s breaking news!” A breathless Danny quickly located Alexander. “Sue

is going to participate in the national racing competition this time!”

As soon as Alexander heard this, he immediately stopped what he was doing and looked at Danny while

asking again, “What did you just say? Sue is participating in the racing competition this time?”

In response, Danny nodded profusely. “I just received the news and it has already spread throughout the

entire industry.”

Alexander couldn’t help but be tempted by this piece of news. He calmed down before saying, “Help me

reply to the organizers that I’ll be joining as well.”

Danny was delighted to hear this. “Sure thing, Alexander. I’ll send an email to the organizer right now.

However, I have a secret question for you—are you there for the competition or just for Sue?”

The moment Alexander heard the question, he couldn’t help but recall the expression in Sue’s eyes

when she turned to look at him three years ago. It was a simple gaze, yet it was forever etched in his

mind. Now that she was returning to the industry, he would never miss such a good opportunity.

When Danny was met with silence, he automatically understood what Alexander’s answer was. “Aha! I

bet you are there for Sue. To be honest, I wonder how attractive she is to make you remember her for

the past three years! Alexander, you are a weird fellow, though. Why do you like people who have hidden

identities? It’s the same with the singer you fancy, H—she is just as mysterious. Sue is the next one.

Even though she has participated in many international racing competitions, there’s no report on her

personal life whatsoever. Even if we resort to special techniques, we still can’t locate any information

about her. Both of them are weirdos, but apparently they are your cup of tea, Alexander.”

As Danny mumbled his words, Alexander wasn’t in the mood to listen and instead said, “Also, help me to

book a flight ticket as soon as possible.”

Danny pursed his lips. “Alright, got it. I’ll ask Cameron to book it later.”

With that, he retreated. However, an obvious excitement was shown on Alexander’s face. Sue, it’s been

so long. Are you finally returning to the racing arena?

…

Although the racing industry had been developing locally, it was the first time a national competition at

this scale was organized. On top of that, the organizer even managed to successfully invite important

guests like Sue and Alexander. It was two days before the competition when many racers, famous and

unknown, arrived in Tissote from all corners of the country.

Elise swapped her public look with that of her original appearance and complimented it with a pair of

sunglasses on her head. After handing over the boarding pass, she boarded the plane.

“Miss, would you like a glass of juice or coffee?” the flight attendant in the business class asked.

“Juice, I suppose,” Elise casually replied.

Upon hearing her reply, the air stewardess passed a glass of juice to Elise, who accepted it before

asking, “How long do we have until we arrive at Tissote?”

“If there are no interferences from the air traffic control center, we will be landing in about an hour.”

Elise thanked her before she took a sip of the juice. Unbeknownst to her, Alexander, who was seated a

row in front of her, thought that her voice sounded exceptionally familiar. He was obviously surprised

when he turned and saw her before greeting, “Miss Joy, I didn’t expect to meet you here.”

His voice caused her to choke on the juice even before she could swallow it. As a result, she started to

cough violently, but she was relieved that he only recognized her as Joy and didn’t discover anything

else.

“You are…” Elise said pretentiously before she suddenly remembered something. “Mr. Griffith.”

Alexander gave a slight nod. Although Joy gave him a sense of familiarity, he didn’t recall seeing her

elsewhere apart from their only encounter in France. With a frown, asked, “When did you return, Miss

Joy?”

Umm… She smiled and replied, “Not long ago. Where are you going?”

He replied, “Our destination should be the same.”

Elise looked like she thought of something. Could it be that he is going to Tissote because of the racing

competition? Even though it was still just her speculation, she continued to ask, “Are you on a business

trip to Tissote?”

If an average person asked him this, he would’ve nodded in response. However, he was unsure why he

didn’t hide his true reason from Joy, a person whom he had just met twice. “I’m participating in a

competition that’s held in the city. What about you?”

Of course, Elise could not tell him that she was going to the same competition as well, so she simply

found an excuse. “I’m going to Tissote to visit an old friend.”

They casually chatted with each other until the airplane landed in Tissote. Then, they disembarked from

the plane one after another and out of courtesy, Alexander asked, “My driver will be here soon. Do you

need me to give you a ride, Miss Sinclair?”

She quickly rejected him. “It’s alright, Mr. Griffith. I’ll see you around if fate allows us to do so.” With that,

she quickly turned to walk in the opposite direction as him.

As he observed her leaving figure, Alexander couldn’t help twitching his lips into a smile. Meanwhile, he

also thought that Joy was quite an interesting woman. After all, it was the first time that a woman avoided

him like he was a cobra.

He retracted his gaze and walked toward the lobby where his driver was already waiting for him.

As soon as the car that picked Alexander left, Elise gingerly walked out and called Jamie on his cell.

“Jamie, I’m already here. Send the hotel’s location to me so that I can head over right now.”

“Sure thing, Boss. By the way, I forgot to inform you that I looked into Alexander’s flight information. He

has already flown to Tissote and it seems that he is on the same plane as you.”

She hummed in agreement before she replied, “I already met him.”
