Bring Your A Game, Mr novel Chapter 108

Chapter 108 His Heart Melted

Alexander knew that it was cruel, but it was the truth! “Grandpa, you’ve taught us the importance of unity ever since we were young. Unity is what makes the family grow and flourish—I’ve always kept those words in my heart. However, this incident taught me a huge lesson, and it nearly ended the entire Griffith Group.”

Jonah’s breaths grew even more shallow as he listened to what Alexander had to say. With the swing of his hand, he sent the teacups on the table smashing onto the ground. Clink! Clang! The glass shattered on the floor. “B*stards! All of those b*stards!” Jonah howled in anger.

Alexander hastily attempted to calm him down. “I only told you about this today to keep you updated on the situation, Grandpa. Right now, I already have plans to deal with this, and I hope you can trust me to follow through with my plan.”

Jonah understood what Alexander meant immediately. “I have no objections. He did such a terrible thing that even I wouldn’t allow him to get away with it. However, I have to remind you that he’s still your biological brother. Although you guys don’t share the same mother, you guys have the same blood coursing in your veins. You should know your limits—that’s the final piece of decency that we can extend to him.”

“I understand, Grandpa.”

Jonah sighed. “I’ve never had to worry about you ever since you were a child, Alexander. I trust you a lot, and I feel safe handing a company as large as Griffith Group to you. You can go ahead with your plan, and you can always let me know if there’s anything that you can’t handle.”

“Alright, Grandpa,” Alexander replied. Jonah seemed extremely drained at that point. “Okay, go on then! You should handle this matter now.”

Alexander excused himself, and Jonah was left alone in the large hall. He gazed up at the ceiling above his head as he sighed. “Karma is real!”

When Elise got back to Griffith Residence, she instantly sensed the distinct heaviness in the household. She bumped into Alexander, who was walking out as she entered the house. “How are things in the company now?” She was the first to initiate conversation.

Alexander gave her a look that calmed her down. “Don’t worry. Everything will be fine.”

“Do you need any help?” she asked.

He was about to reject her, but he surprised himself by nodding after he saw the anticipation in her eyes. Elise quickly followed him after seeing his response. Once they got in the car, Alexander handed her a stack of documents. “I need you to organize these documents. I’ll need it for a meeting today.”

Elise flipped the files open and began to go through them without asking much. She put her full focus on reading the documents, and she held a pen in her hand to highlight the parts that were important. Alexander felt rather glad to see her so focused.

“How are things at the company, Cameron?”

Cameron hesitated for a moment before speaking. “A few of our larger clients went off with Young Master Matthew, and they requested to terminate their contracts with us. Some of the workers in the company are still on the fence about leaving or staying, but I didn’t meddle with their business since you told me not to do anything.”

Alexander nodded. “Let’s prepare for the worst. I think our shares will crash tomorrow.” Cameron was shocked to hear this. Many of our business partners have terminated their contracts with Griffith Group. We are about to face one of the largest challenges ever. If the company fails to pull through, it might be destroyed by this incident.

“I want you to tell all the staff that they don’t need to work overtime tonight. Tell them to get off work on time!” Alexander ordered.

The next day, Griffith Group’s stocks continued to stay low, and they crashed all the way down when the stock markets opened. Many of the shareholders had dumped their Griffith Group shares. Earlier that morning, many different companies had approached Griffith Group to end their contracts. When Elise arrived at the company, she could tell that the whole atmosphere was different from before. There were empty seats all around the area.

Her expression turned grim as she walked to Alexander’s room and knocked on his door.

“Come in,” the voice said from inside. Elise let herself in after hearing Alex’s voice.

“You’re here,” he commented after looking up and staring at her.

Elise watched the man before her eyes. He’s still as powerful and high-spirited as ever. Even during such a time, he isn’t panicking or losing his mind. His calmness makes me feel safe. “I’ve arranged all of the documents needed for the meeting. There are a few new client appointments and I’ve put them into your schedule too.”

“Thanks a lot,” he replied with a smile. She didn’t ask or say anything else, but merely gave him a smile before leaving the room.

Throughout the day, Elise was extremely busy as she took many matters into her hands. She was someone who had to ensure the quality of her work, and she quickly lost track of time as she was too immersed in her work. She didn’t stop to rest even after the sun went down.

It was nearly 11.00PM, and most of the other people in the company had left. The only room still well-lit was the office on the highest floor. When Alexander walked out of his office, he saw Elise with her head resting against the table as she took a nap. He instinctively slowed his footsteps to tiptoe around the office, just so that he wouldn’t wake her up.

He slowly made his way toward her, and he glanced down at her sleeping face from above. At that moment, he felt his heart melting for her.
