Bring Your A Game

Chapter 938

Bring Your A Game Mr Chapter 938-“You’re saying you didn’t plan this?” Jamie was livid.

“I think I stated last time how I don’t wish to see you anymore, so what reason do I have to send my love rival to my fiancé’s side?” Not only did Gale not admit it, but he also started to turn the tables.

“It really isn’t you?” Jamie’s thoughts began to waver.

“If you don’t believe me, then suit yourself.” Gale was upset on the surface. “I’m reminding you now— since you have abandoned Narissa once, I hope you don’t harass her anymore in the future. Let’s live in peace without seeing each other and bid our last farewells after this gathering. I do not wish for any more complications to arise.” Then, he turned around and walked out.

After giving it some thought, Jamie decided to stay back and see what was up.

Inside the bathroom, Narissa washed her face repeatedly with cold water until she thoroughly calmed down. Subsequently, she leaned on the counter and zoned out while looking in the mirror.

She did not even have any makeup on, to begin with. She merely could not control her emotions in front of Jamie and had to hide temporarily.

Even though she, in her mind, enacted their encounter a lot of times, she did not predict how easily he affected her just by standing there.

Hearing footsteps from outside, she quickly calmed herself and turn the tap off before straightening her back.

It turned out to be Alicia, who saw a cold beauty standing by the sink.

“Hello, cousin-in-law.” She greeted Narissa before standing beside her and applying sunscreen.

Since she was still young, her skin was fair and healthy, so she did not need to apply too much makeup.

“Why don’t you just call me by my name?” Narissa replied curtly, thanks to her awful mood.

Noticing this, Alicia kept her sunscreen away and observed her face. “Gale made you angry, didn’t he? Just ignore him. Is he still not satisfied with such a perfect girlfriend like you? I’m going to talk to him later!”

“No, it’s not…” Narissa did not know how to answer her. “Anyway, it has nothing to do with him.”

“Is it your period?” Alicia took out some tampons from her bag. “I brought some with me, but I’m not sure if you’re used to this brand.”

Narissa parted her lips and wanted to refuse her, yet she knew that Alicia would overthink if she did, so she could not reject her gesture. “Thank you.”

“Don’t sweat it. It’s just period. We’re all human after all. We do forget sometimes, so I think we should look out for each other,” Alicia said with a smile.

Sighing, Narissa looked at the tampon in her hand and blurted, “Alicia, how long have you been together with your boyfriend?”

“Not long, actually. It was me who had a crush on him at first. I felt like he didn’t want to be tied down, so I’m not sure if I should confirm his feelings,” she stated truthfully.

Narissa felt conflicted inside and stayed silent for a while.

After chatting for some time, they went out to the court only to see Jamie and Gale sitting separately with nasty expressions.

Upon seeing Narissa, Jamie immediately stood up, yet he hesitated for a long time and did not go up to greet her in the end. Meanwhile, she misunderstood his intentions as not wanting to let Gale know about their relationship, hence his act of seeming distant. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

“Since everybody is here, let’s start.” Gale, being the oldest, hosted the game.

They gathered to play tennis that day, so naturally, they could not ignore the main act.

“I don’t think we should do that.” Alicia suddenly recalled Narissa’s condition. “I say, Gale, aren’t you being a bit careless? You forgot about her period, didn’t you? You think you can marry her with that attitude?”

“Oh? Are you on your period, Narissa?” Gale asked cluelessly.

“It’s fine.” She picked her racquet up and walked to the court. “I’m not that fragile.”

Since she was so determined, the others did not say anything.

Before they began, Alicia even reminded Jamie to take it easy on Narissa, yet after a few minutes, it was her that was losing to Narissa instead.

Alicia, whose stamina was insufficient, could only rest while using her racquet as a prop.

“How about we finish up?” Since Narissa played everything with a serious attitude, she felt that Alicia’s skills would mean that she could not play at full tilt, which bored her.

A hardy person by nature, she was not one to empathize much with others, so she was worried that Alicia might get hurt if they were to continue.

“No! I can continue!” Alicia stood up again and tried to channel her inner athlete. “Come on. I’m going to get serious now!”

“If you can’t, best not to force yourself,” stated Jamie gently.

Excluding Alicia, the other three had stamina that no ordinary people could come close to, so it was normal that she could not keep up.

“It’s fine.” She panted while smiling. “It’s only fun when playing against pros like you guys. Come on. I’ve caught my breath.”

Not able to dissuade her, they could only continue.

After playing for over ten rounds, she started to run out of breath. She slipped and twisted her ankle while trying to receive a perfect counter from Narissa and crashed onto the ground.Standing near her, Jamie immediately threw his racquet aside before running up to her. “Is everything okay?”Although the pain was enough to form sweat on her forehead, Alicia still tried to act tough. “I’m fine.”“Your ankle is swollen, yet you’re still saying that?” He had a slightly upset tone.Regardless if it was her with the dog, playing bowling, or retrieving the ball, she just would not listen despite his numerous persuasions, thanks to her stubbornness.Yet, he could feel that she was different from those phony women who would say they ‘loved’ sports. Instead, she genuinely liked the activities; she was merely too weak to partake in them properly.It was because of this that Jamie treated her preferentially just like he did with Charissa. He considered her a true friend, so he naturally would not look the other way when she got hurt.Alicia, who was embarrassed by his words, lowered her head in silence. Meanwhile, Jamie’s actions were perceived as love and affection toward her in Narissa’s eyes.“With such an injury, you should quickly go rest up in the break room. I’ll call for a doctor,” said Gale.Jamie helped Alicia up and acted in place of a crutch as she hobbled along. Yet, her step only served to agitate her wound as she drew in sharp breaths due to the pain, which was all heard by him.Plus, the distance from the court to the break room was far, so her actions might even aggravate her injury. In the end, he decided to carry her and ran to the break room.Seeing his fleeting back, Narissa gulped and tossed her racquet before walking away.“Are you leaving? I can send you back if you want.” Gale was not about to pass up the chance to further appeal to her.“No need.” She outright rejected him. “I’m sorry, Gale, but I want to be

alone for now.”“Alright. Call me if you need anything.” Since pushing on was not an option, he could only give up.Yet, not long after she left, he tailed her in secret.
