Chapter 1468 Thought About Killing the People
They disliked Brie and wanted to use Elisa to rile her up. "Of course!" one of them said. "With our boss's capabilities and power, how could he only have Elisa?"
"According to my instincts, Elisa must be our boss' new favorite," another chimed in. "We shouldn't underestimate her at all."
"Exactly," the first woman agreed. "We need to treat her well from now on."
"Do you have nothing better to do than spread nonsense? You'll lose your tongue if you keep talking like that."
Brie's anger boiled over. She extinguished her cigarette on the floor with a forceful stomp.
She leveled an icy glare at them, silencing them with her fierce gaze.
"Leave and get your work done!" she commanded in a voice that brooked no argument.
At Brie's words, everyone hurried away.
After a short while, Brie turned around.
Her eyes met Elisa's.
Elisa was leaning against the doorframe with her arms crossed, her dark, solemn eyes staring back.
Brie realized with a startle that Elisa had witnessed everything that had just happened.
Her face remained expressionless.
She would accept any punishment that Elisa would bring upon her, even if it meant getting reprimanded by her boss.
"My relationship with your boss is not what you're making it out to be."
As a woman, she could see how Brie's feelings had clouded her judgment.
If her uncle was not tied romantically with someone else, and this female subordinate had feelings for him, they might have ended up together.
She knew she should not get involved in his marriage and relationship matters.
Brie let out a silent gasp as Elisa tried to clear things up.
She quickly pulled herself together.
"Mr. Knowles' relationship with you is none of my business. I am only following his orders to protect you," she interjected resolutely.
A calm silence filled the air between them.
Brie had already made her position clear to Elisa, so she did not need to ask any further questions.
"If you have no further need of me, I'll be taking my leave," Brie said finally as she gave a curt nod.
Elisa shook her head. "I'm good. You can go."
Brie turned on her heel and walked away.
Who would have thought the rumor about Elisa leaving Gareth for Winslow would spread like wildfire through the casino?
Suddenly, Elisa was the talk of the town, as everyone speculated about her relationship with Winslow.
When Winslow's friend arrived, he congratulated him on his new relationship. "Mr. Knowles, it's been so long since something like this happened. We should celebrate!"
"Celebrate?" Winslow raised his eyebrows in surprise.
KKCD Casino had not announced any wedding ceremony, nor had they announced a collaboration with ZF Corporation. So Winslow was confused by his friend's abrupt wishes.
His friend was amused by Winslow's stunned and bewildered expression. He pointed at him and smiled mischievously. "Mr. Knowles, how long were you going to keep this a secret from me?" he asked. "Everyone in the casino knows about your new partner. Why didn't you tell me right away?"
"When are you going to invite me to the wedding?"
It took Winslow a moment to realize that his friend was referring to him and Elisa.
Only then did he realize that his casino employees had misunderstood their relationship and had even
spread false rumors about them.
Winslow's face turned grim as understanding dawned upon him. His lips pursed in suppressed fury as he thought about killing the rumor-mongers.
