Chapter 440
Rose saw the call on Linda’s phone and smiled delightedly.
“See, isn’t he calling you now.”
Linda’s face flushed instantly.She replied shyly, “Mom…”
Linda chuckled and said, “Alright, you should answer his call.I will go out and give you some privacy”
After saying that, Rose got up with a smile and left.
Once the door was closed, Linda breathed in and answered the call nervously.She and Gareth rarely
spoke these days.
Gareth also treated her differently from before and was a lot less patient than he was.
Thus, she did not dare to act recklessly as she did.
“Gary, are you busy?”
It was four something in the afternoon.
There was more than an hour before he finished work.
“How’s your recovery?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGareth’s voice was flat as usual.
Linda smiled and said, “I’ve mostly recovered.Gary, don’t worry about me.She had always spoken to
him in such a kind and understanding manner so as not to pressure him.But when they met, she would
show him her determined side, causing him to pity her.
Thus, Linda did the same thing repeatedly.
In the past, Gareth would tell her to take care of herself.
But he did not say this today but asked, “Are you free tonight? Let’s have dinner.”
Linda stopped caring about anything else.Her heart instantly soared with delight.
This would be their first time meeting after their engagement.
Thus, it was unsurprising that she was elated.
Therefore, why would she not agree?
“Sounds good.Where should I meet you?”
Linda was only asking to seem considerate.thuy She knew Gareth would always come to pick her up.
Unfortunately, she was wrong this time.
Gareth answered, “I’ll send you the address.You can go there at six but don’t go too
early.”
Linda’s smile turned stiff.
However, she thought it was a good thing that he asked her out for dinner, so she
smiled and said, “Alright, see you later.”
“Sure.Gareth did not say anything else but hung up straight away.Soon, Gareth sent
her the address.Linda kept telling herself not to overthink and immediately went to
dress herself up.She was going to meet Gareth tonight, so she needed to make
herself beautiful so that he would love her even more.She firmly believed her effort
would bear fruit one day, and Gareth would eventually fall completely in love with her.
While Linda was preoccupied at home with her date with Gareth, she had no idea that
Benett Corporation was in a mess.
At this moment, the company organized another meeting for the senior management
of the company.
They did not invite Elisa this time.
Marisa seemed sullen and a little anxious.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Sir, this is the gist of the situation.I had no chance to speak throughout the meeting…”
If they weren’t in a formal meeting, she would have explained in detail how she was
forced to witness Mr.Darcey flirting with Elisa.She could not stand bearing the
humiliation alone.
Furthermore, she was still single.
As a single woman, she hated such public displays of affection the most.
Moreover, Mr.Darcey was such a fine man.
She felt sick with jealousy.
Elisa was a divorcee, but Mr.Darcey treated her like a precious jewel.thuy Marisa
could not help but feel envious.
Norman was also in a bad mood.
Those who were against Elisa had sullen expressions.
Calvin said solemnly, “I need this joint venture with Darcey Group, but Will insists on
dealing with Elisa only.Nothing we said could convince him otherwise.So what should
we do?”
