“What is it?”
“Gareth, please believe me. It wasn’t me!”
“What is it?”
“Gareth, please believe me. It wasn’t me!”
Gareth frowned. “Do you think I’ll believe you?”
“You have to believe me. I really didn’t do it!” Linda was so agitated that her voice was cracking.
“Mr. Wickam, since the last incident, Linda has indeed become insane. These days, she’s either
depressed and rarely speaks or insists on communicating and explaining to you. Gareth, Linda is a
kind girl. She couldn’t possibly do things like that. You should know that…”
At that point, Gareth had lost his patience to continue listening to them. “Stop disturbing me in the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfuture. My patience has its limit.”
With that, he hung up the phone. His patience was depleted, and he was tired of their acting.
After putting down the phone, he suddenly thought of Elisa again! He could even imagine Elisa and
Carle being lovey-dovey, which made his face darken at once.
He pressed his temples in frustration and attempted to focus on work. However, he overestimated
himself. Ever since he knew about the matter, his mind was a complete mess!
Knitting his brows, he called Thomas and ordered solemnly, “Bring the meeting forward. Inform the
relevant parties to gather at the meeting room twenty minutes later.”
Thomas was startled, but he didn’t mull over it and quickly hummed in response. Thereafter, Gareth
hung up the call.
Thomas was in a quandary. If he passed on the message to bring forward the meeting two days earlier,
the staff would surely freak out as they might not be prepared yet. As a result, Gareth would likely get
mad, but no one would dare to complain about him bringing forward the meeting.
Everyone was on tenterhook except Thomas. He knew Gareth was frustrated and wanted to remain
occupied, so the poor staff had to suffer in return.
…
After a long day, Carle finally left in the afternoon. Actually, he intended to stay for dinner and leave
thereafter, but Elisa asked him to go home to rest and not worry about work. Besides, Sheena and
Rachel were urging him too. He appreciated their concern toward him, so he went home in resignation.
The ladies were finally relieved after watching Carle leave at the entrance downstairs.
Sheena and Rachel didn’t plan to stay on either. Rachel said to Elisa with a smile, “I’m leaving too,
Elisa. Go home and rest earlier. It’s been a long day for you. Don’t tire yourself out.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmElisa nodded. “I will. Don’t worry.”
Sheena looked at Elisa and mumbled concernedly, “It’s been a hard time for you, Elisa. Previously, I
was rude to you because of Carle’s matter. Please forgive me. I’ll learn to control my emotions in the
future. I crossed the line last time.”
Sheena had spoken some harsh words to Elisa on the day Carle’s accident happened. She apologized
to Elisa after that, but she still felt guilty until now, thinking that she shouldn’t have behaved in that way.
Elisa smiled. “It’s not your fault. I was wrong too. We’re good, Sheen.”
Perceiving that Elisa held no grudge against her, Sheena was relieved and nodded in gratitude. “I’m
glad you didn’t take it to heart. Thank you for tolerating me, Elisa. I promise I’ll remain rational next time
and won’t fly off the handle. It’s not your fault either.”
