Chapter 1386 999 Roses
Intrigued by the potential visitor at the door, Gareth swiftly rose from his seat, his face assuming a dark and apathetic expression as if enveloped in shadow.
"I'll go and see who it is."
Yet, Elisa noticed that as Gareth opened the door, his expression turned even darker.
A slight sense of unease crept over her. Could it really be Eden standing outside the room?
Right then, a well-spoken and courteous voice said, "May I ask if Ms. Elisa Benett is available? A gentleman has ordered a bouquet of 999 roses to be delivered to her."
But in the next instant, Gareth erupted, "F*ck off!"
With a resounding bang, Gareth slammed the door shut.
Elisa remained silent, but her displeasure was evident on her face.
She couldn't understand why a wealthy man like Eden would continue to pursue her relentlessly, even after she had rejected him three times.
He even went to the extent of sending her a message.
Eden: 'Darling, shall I deal with that irrationally furious man for you? Please don't go back to him who doesn't appreciate you. Direct your attention towards me instead. How about joining me at the barbecue party tonight?'
Hmm, that might be worth considering.
If she agreed to go out with him once, Eden would likely expose his motive, allowing her to finally discover what he was after.
Elisa: 'Alright then. Since you've been so persistent in inviting me.'
Eden: 'Cool! See you at 10 p.m. sharp!'
Elisa could already envision the scheming smug smirk on his face. However, it was still premature to determine who would emerge as the victor and who would be the loser!
Considering this, a faint smile formed on her face. However, her tranquility was abruptly shattered as Gareth's frigid voice pierced through, "Who are you chatting with? That Eden guy?"
Something about Elisa's smile rubbed Gareth the wrong way, causing an unexplained irritation.
Elisa was truthful and said, "Yes, it's him. He has made advances toward me on numerous occasions, and I want to find out his true intentions. If necessary, I hope you can cooperate with me tonight."
Gareth remained silent, his lips tightly pressed into a thin line.
Ultimately, Elisa chose this method to probe into Eden's intentions, despite being fully aware of his ruthless and ingenuine nature.
Deep down in Gareth's heart, there was an indescribable, stifling feeling.
In fact, he had lost all appetite, even for the seafood dishes Thomas had ordered.
Noticing Gareth motionless, showing no interest in the seafood before him, she furrowed and commented, "Given your poor health condition, consuming seafood aids in your recovery. If you ignore the doctor's advice, don't come running after me later!"
Elisa: 'Alright then. Since you've been so persistent in inviting me.'
With that, Elisa started digging in.
Due to Eden's sudden intrusion, she hadn't had much to eat.
Even though she had intentionally provoked Gareth earlier, she didn't want to push herself to the point of hunger either.
"Mm."
In the end, Gareth joined her for the scrumptious seafood treat.
They stayed in a suite, mainly because it would give Elisa space to handle unexpected situations with Gareth. At the same time, Thomas saw it as an opportunity to spark their affection for each other by staying together.
After finishing the meal, her phone suddenly rang as Elisa was about to return to her room.
Instinctively, she reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone.
Unbeknownst to her, Gareth had been staring at her, observing her every action.
In that moment when a smile formed on Elisa's lips, an indescribable anger surged within Gareth. But in the next second, he heard Elisa's playful voice:
"I never thought the esteemed Mr. Vincent Shane would actually call me for advice."
