Elisa looked away but nodded. Will chuckled, “I can get you in touch with him. He may be eccentric, but
he is someone who values friendships. I am friends with him, but the most I can do is introduce you to
him. I can’t force him to do anything more than that.”
Elisa shook her head. “I don’t need your help. I’ll look for him on my own. I’ve met him before.”
Will raised an eyebrow but didn’t protest. “Just remember one thing. He is different from what the
rumors say.”
In other words, he wasn’t gay.
Brandon Simmons was the issue Anita had Elisa fix when they were in talks for a job.
Brandon had set his eye on Anita’s son. Rumors floating around about Brandon being homosexual and
maybe even a pedophile. It was a worrisome time for Anita. Unfortunately for her, Brandon wasn’t

In the end, Elisa was the one who took care of it for her. Anita was extremely grateful for her help.
Elisa met Will’s eyes and said, “Thank you for this.”
“Helping you uncover the truth is also a step forward in your need for vengeance. Don’t you think you
owe me more than a thank you? Maybe something more physical?”
She stared at him wordlessly.
Will sighed exasperatedly. “I knew you’d reject me.”

Will leaned back against his chair. His legs were crossed, and so were his arms. He stared deep into
Elisa’s eyes, “So, what do you plan on doing next?”
“Look for him.”
“And after that?”
“I’ll decide after finding out the truth.” She had a feeling Brandon knew much more than any of them

Will stayed quiet at her insistence. Soon after, a waitress arrived with their food.
Elisa was equally as quiet. They shared the meal in peaceful silence.
However…
Meanwhile, somewhere else wasn’t as peaceful. In fact, there might even be a hint of gunpowder in the
air.
Rachel had just arrived home from work. She stepping out of the elevator and found a snot stain
waiting by their door!
Rachel’s mood instantly soured. “What are you doing here?” She glared at him warily.
Vincent grinned at her. “I’m here to see you, of course. Who else would want a tomboy like you? My
mother made me promise to watch over you.”
