Chapter 522 All’s Fair in Love and Chess
On the other side, Kenneth steadily placed his last piece on the chessboard, making it quite clear as to who was the winner. “Thanks for a great match.”
His opponent subsequently left the opposite seat.
At this moment, someone moved forward in excitement. “Congratulations, Mr. Bailey!”
As for Kenneth, he gave a casual smile. “It was just by chance.”
“Mr. Bailey, you must have misunderstood my words. I wasn’t talking about the match between you two. I meant the person you brought today. She’s amazing!”
At that point, a resigned Kenneth smiled slightly. Well, it was hard to describe it in words, but to his surprise, he found that everything made sense. My Ellie always seems to be able to amaze the world.
Meanwhile, Elise’s move seemed to cause Sophie to feel somewhat frustrated. Sophie found that the raging sensation she felt within her was troubling her rather badly.
She no longer cared about any sense of composure nor refinement as she raged at Elise arrogantly, “Didn’t anyone tell you who I learned my chess skills from?”
“Well, it can’t be from me.” Elise shrugged. “I don’t have such a lousy student like you.”
“Learn from you?! Who do you think you are?!” Sophie nearly went into a tirade, but she stopped herself as soon as she saw the staff member head toward them.
At that moment, she took a deep breath and spoke haughtily, “My teacher’s the president of the Cittadel Chess Club—Mr. Warren Reynolds! I have to say, though, you must not have met him before, right?”
“Who did you mention?” Elise curled her lips with a meaningful look in her eyes.
Then, Sophie seemed to drop her defenses all of a sudden. Indeed, she hasn’t even heard of Mr. Warren Reynolds before, so she must not be that good at chess anyway.
