Chapter 368 Do You Plan to Rekindle the Relationship?
Elisa pressed her lips. Will was right – it was indeed an advantageous deal for her, but she was still grappling with the matter and could not decide.
Will struck while the iron was still hot. “Once this project succeeds, you might even be able to enter the executive board. I can assign all collaborations of Benett Corporation to you, and you’ll be the only person in charge.”
Elisa slowly shifted her gaze to him. Looking at his gentle smile, she answered calmly, “You’re willing to go this far to help me, even to the extent of making such a huge sacrifice and bet. What exactly do you wish to obtain from me?”
Elisa stared fixedly at Willʼs face as she didn’t want to miss any of his subtle expressions.
Will smiled. Despite the urge to answer, ‘You’re the reason’, he uttered naturally, “Putting aside the fact that I’m fond of you, in all honesty, I find the proposal promising. I believe no one else in the company could devise such a holistic proposal. Besides, Benett Corporation is actually experienced in project development. Unfortunately, I had doubts about the management of the company before this. Now that you’re in the company, I believe our collaboration would bring both companies to new heights. So, it’s only natural for me to say yes to the proposal. I’m a businessman, aren’t you too, Ms. Elisa?”
Elisa remained silent with her eyes filled with complicated emotions.
Will’s offer was highly tempting, and she was dying to accept the offer. After pausing for a while, she replied indifferently, “We’ll talk about the rest in the future. I can accept your condition for the partnership this time, but it’s up to the company to make the final decision.”
Will smiled and hummed, “I trust your abilities.”
In other words, he deemed that the collaboration was set as long as she agreed.
Elisa’s eyes glistened. Just as she stood up and was about to leave, Will uttered with a half-smile, “It’s probably not the best timing to leave now. Gareth is next door; you might bump into him.”
There was a sudden change in Elisa’s expression as she shot a glance at Will and asked, “Did you choose this venue on purpose?”
“No.”
Elisa averted her gaze – she didn’t believe him.
Will sighed in resignation. “It’s really a coincidence this time. I only saw him just now when I was walking in.”
Elisa wouldn’t know that Will was actually telling the truth.
Nonetheless, she did not retort to him. The last thing she wanted was for Gareth to see her meeting Will. Although they had already divorced, and Gareth had no right to control her, Gareth and Will had a strained relationship. If Gareth saw her with Will, she would probably suffer the next few days. So, Elisa intended to settle the matter with Will properly.
After thinking about it, Elisa turned to face Will and said, “I’m going to stay here with Mr. Wickam for the next few days for work. I’ll only have time to proceed with our collaboration after returning. I believe you’re very occupied too, so I reckon you won’t have time to find me.”
In fact, she was reminding him not to disturb her these few days.
Will took the wine glass and took a sip of the wine before asking with a faint smile, “Elisa, do you plan to rekindle your relationship with him?”
“Rekindle our relationship?” Elisa sneered in sarcasm. “Love never existed between him and I. There’s nothing to be rekindled.”
Gareth had always been temperamental, and Elisa had no idea what was wrong with the guy lately. Anyway, she didn’t plan to be associated with him in any way.
Will smiled. “I trust you, and I promise I won’t disturb you these few days.”
Will and Gareth were opponents, so it was natural that Will didn’t want to see Elisa with Gareth.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
