NovelEnglishChapter 387 Hmm? What Happened?
What didn’t Ms. Benett agree to it?
It couldn’t be…
Everyone started to make guesses.
Elisa wasn’t rushing to do anything. She continued with her work instead.
When it was almost time to get off work, Will called Elisa to ask her out for a meal, but she turned him
down because Rachel was already waiting for her at home.
Elisa went home straight after work.
Rachel had the keys to her house. It seemed as though she had been waiting for a very long time. She
looked at Elisa with some exasperation. “You’re too conscientious. You just returned. Don’t you need to
rest for a day?”

“Linda is looking for an opportunity. How can I slack off?”
Rachel’s brows wrinkled at once. “You don’t know when such a day will come. Did you make
calculations?”
Elisa shrugged in frustration. “I’m not sure. After all, I have to oversee another project soon for around
four months. Maybe I can’t do much in that time.”
Rachel looked at her in doubt. “What project?”
“A project that Will wants me to work on. He’s just like Gareth. He wants me to be fully in charge.”
“Huh?” Rachel was amused. “The two of them must be having the same thoughts. Is Will doing this
because you worked so closely with Gareth on one project? What if Will wants you to go to functions?”
Elisa’s eyes froze.
Functions.
For the upcoming projects and partnerships, there definitely would be functions to attend. As the
person in charge, she had to attend it with Gareth. If Grandma heard of it…
The wrinkle in Elisa’s brows deepened.
Rachel could clearly see what she was thinking of and pulled her arm. “Alright, don’t think too much of
it for now. You’ll cross the bridge when you come to it. Furthermore, no matter how much you consider
Old Madam Wickam’s feelings, you have to let her face reality. There’s no way you and Gareth can get
back together. Look at how healthy she is. It won’t be a problem if she lives up to a hundred years old.
Even if you don’t want a husband now, does it mean that you won’t ever want one? Even if you don’t,
can you guarantee that Gareth won’t look for other women? Don’t forget that he has Linda. Moreover…
even if the two of you don’t have significant others, are you still going to put on a show in front of her?”
Elisa pursed her lips. “That’s the principle, but I have to slowly make progress. I was too aggressive the
last time and didn’t take her feelings into account. I regret it a little.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“You’re not to blame. Even if Old Madam Wickam had any problems with it, Gareth is the only one to
blame. If it wasn’t for him not caring about the family, how could he have forced you to such an extent?
He committed a serious sin. It has nothing to do with you!”
Elisa pursed her lips and didn’t say anything else. Rachel had already bought groceries, so the two of
them went into the kitchen for a battle.
Not long after, they whipped up delicious dishes.
Rachel’s mouth was watering. She sat down at once, and Elisa passed her a set of utensils. “Eat up,
greedy cat.”
“Ah! It’s all thanks to your great skills!”
Rachel took the utensils from Elisa and started to eat. Halfway through the meal, she looked at Elisa,
who didn’t seem to have much of an appetite. “What are you thinking of?”
Elisa narrowed her eyes. She saw Rachel trying very hard to hide her gloomy feelings, so Elisa said in
a soft voice, “How to deal with my cousin.”
“Hmm? What happened?”
