Some of them thought, I’m so jealous of her!
Hah! Does she really think she can do whatever she wants just because she’s slightly talented? I don’t
believe Mr. Wickam will allow that!
When Gareth met Elisa’s gaze, they could see the indifference reflected in each other’s eyes; there
were no sparks.
However, the crowd felt like they had melted into the background, and the room only consisted of the
two.
Everyone held their breath, unsure how Gareth would react.
Some of them even worried he might unleash his anger on them.
Right when everyone visualized the situation differently, Gareth suddenly turned to them.
“Did you guys hear that?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEveryone froze in disbelief.
In a moment, they suddenly returned to their senses. He approves of her way of handling it! Oh my
gosh! How could he agree to that?
Darell was the last person in the room to return to his senses.
With his heart aching, he thought, Why is Mr. Wickam behaving this way?
Gareth arched his eyebrows. “Did you hear me?” he asked threateningly, staring straight into Darell’s
eyes.
Darell gave a jolt before nodding furiously. “Of course, of course.”
At that moment, his commanding demeanor vanished entirely. As the fear of being fired thickened, cold
sweat broke out on his back.
He had always been a subject of envy due to his position as the deputy manager of the human
resources department in Wickam Group. His friends and relatives got along with him because they
wanted to benefit from his status.
Hence, he didn’t even dare to imagine the consequences if he was fired; he didn’t want to risk losing
everything in his life.
Since he agreed humbly, no one else dared to voice their concerns further.
“Got it.” They agreed meekly and obediently.
Gareth shifted his gaze to Elisa. “I’ll leave everything to you. You are right – I’m an idiot with too much
money anyway.”
Elisa remained silent. How much did he hear?
Everyone couldn’t believe their ears. Are they flirting with each other? What is going on with both of
them?
Noticing the peculiar gazes from the crowd, Elisa quickly stood up. “Let’s call it a day. As I mentioned
just now, please make some preparations on your own. We will continue the meeting at the same time
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtomorrow.”
Without sparing a glance at Gareth, she took her laptop and left.
Is she trying to cover up her shyness?
She leaves so hastily, even though he’s still here. Is she embarrassed by Mr. Wickam’s words just
now? Or is she ignoring him and doing whatever she likes because she’s cocky?
In the past, their relationship was completely different. She looked at him with love and tenderness, and
both seemed to love each other.
Yet, even though no one can meddle in their relationship now, they seem to be competitors instead of
lovers.
The crowd wondered if it was just an illusion.
With that thought in mind, they looked at their boss.
