Chapter 485
Linda was panicking and did not know what to do.
But Gareth had not spoken a word about the matter.
Thus, she had to be careful not to reveal something was wrong.She said with a smile,
“I’m here to discuss the company’s collaboration project.Liz’s friend is now in the hospital, so she does
not have much energy to deal with this.That’s why my father wishes to negotiate with you again.He
asked if you were willing to let someone else take
Elisa’s place.After all, many people are more experienced than her.”
If Elisa were here, she would be impressed with Linda for trying to stir up trouble even in this situation.
The moment Linda said Elisa’s friend was hospitalized, Gareth’s expression darkened considerably.
Linda’s eyes flashed.She suddenly had a plan.
Thus, before Gareth could say anything, she persuaded, “I understand…Garry.You appreciate Elisa’s
talent.She surprised many people with her plan.But, …Sometimes,
being able to draft a plan does not mean he or she can carry it out well.George
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtB.McClellan is a good example of this.”
She was talking about a Civil War general who was good at planning but failed in actual battle.
In Linda’s view, Elisa was comparable to George B.
McClellan.
Even if she had to admit Elisa was talented, she would never accept that Elisa would be able to carry
out the project well.
Gareth chuckled suddenly.
Linda stiffened considerably despite his gentle tone.She could sense the mockery in his eyes.
Linda breathed in.
What…What does that mean? Whenever Gareth looked at her, it felt like he was hiding sharp daggers
in the depth of his eyes.
Linda fought back the terror in her heart and pretended to not understand.
“Garry, why are you looking at me like that?”
Garcth smiled vaguely.
“Weren’t you always defending her? You supported her in everything.”
Linda felt her heart sink.She nodded immediately.
“Yes, of course, I support her.But I can’t let her ruin her reputation.One can never be too
careful.Although my decision will prevent her from displaying her skills, it…”
Linda stopped speaking at this point.
On the other hand, Gareth said indifferently, “There is no need to negotiate the matter concerning
Elisa”It felt as if the collaboration was prepared for Elisa’s sake.Linda’s expression changed.
She looked at Gareth and said, “Garry, are you sure this collaboration project is yours?
Darcy Group…”
“I shall await Benett Corporation’s decision.”
Although Gareth sounded calm, he looked at her with a chilling gaze.
Linda began to suspect that he knew something.
However, she did not dare to ask or test the matter.She feared she would not be able to find anything
but be intimidated instead.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLinda was speechless.She had no idea what she should say.
All she could do was look at him worriedly.
At this moment, she did not know what to say and implored him with her pitiful gaze.
Gareth asked calmly, “Is there anything else?”
Linda shook her head.
Gareth looked away from her.
“I have some other matters to deal with.You should go home.”
Linda’s body stiffened.
She parted her mouth and tried to call out his name.
But Gareth suddenly glanced in her direction, making her too fearful to stay.She bore with the
discomfort of her rapidly beating heart and said softly, “Then…You should continue your work.I’ll leave
now.Remember to take time to rest.Otherwise, I would be heartbroken if you got sick from exhaustion”
Linda looked down shyly as she said the final part.
Gareth’s eyes were as cold as a bottomless lake.
When he looked at her, Linda did not dare to utter another word but left hurriedly.
The office became peaceful again.
Suddenly, Gareth’s phone rang.He narrowed his eyes upon seeing the phone number.
