Chapter 463 Shortness of Breath
Gareth’s sharp gaze fell on her face in vain.
Elisa was unconcerned and just looked at him indifferently.
Gareth pursed his lips. He didn’t want to clash with Elisa at this time.
He closed his eyes and said to Elisa in a low voice. “You have to consider the background of the partnership proposal. Benett Corporation is where you started out. You have to give serious consideration to the final decision between Wickam Group or Darcey Group. You need to know which would help Benett Corporation’s development.”
Seeing Elisa silent, Gareth spoke up again in a low voice, “From a businessman’s perspective, money is king. Everything else comes second.”
It was as if he was particularly patient this time.
In other words, he was telling Elisa not to be set in her ways and not to constantly think about the relationship between the two of them but to get rid of those thoughts and carefully think of the benefits instead. That was the standard of a businessman.
Elisa’s forehead sank a little.
Wickam Group and Darcey Group.
They were indeed different after she had worked together with them.
She made the necessary adjustments for both proposals according to both companies. If she really considered the benefits, Wickam Group would be more beneficial and would bring more money to
Benett Corporation.
But after a moment, she said to Gareth indifferently, “You shouldn’t talk about such things with me. Uncle Norman still doesn’t have a final answer until now. He doesn’t even want me to oversee it. Mr. Wickam, you really looked for the wrong person.”
Gareth’s brows wrinkled. Is she so estranged from the Benett family now?
As soon as she said it, Elisa raised her hand and yawned. There was exhaustion in her eyes. “I need to rest, Mr. Wickam. Please leave.”
He had been pounding at her door. Elisa decided that once Carle woke up, she was going to move away.
It would have been fine if Elisa hadn’t mentioned it. When Gareth saw her like that, he thought of how she had taken care of that man for the whole night. His sharp gaze almost pierced through her.
But in the next moment, Elisa’s cell phone suddenly rang.
Seeing that it was a call from Linda’s assistant, Yara, Elisa’s brows furrowed, and she rejected the call. She sent a text message.
—Elisa: ‘What have you found out? It’s not convenient for me to talk now. Reply me through text instead.’
—Yara: ‘Ms. Elisa, I’ve gathered a series of evidence from the day Linda pretended to get into a car accident. I can send it to you now.’
—Elisa: ‘Thank you for your trouble.’
Gareth looked at Elisa coldly. “Who are you talking to?”
At that moment, it was like he was catching a girlfriend in the act.
As soon as he said it, Elisa’s cell phone vibrated incessantly. It was clear that someone kept sending her text messages.
Elisa chuckled. She lifted her eyes slightly to look at Gareth. “Will you be surprised if I let you in on a secret, Mr. Wickam?”
Seeing Gareth wrinkle his brows, confused at what she said, it was as if she had come to her senses a little. She smiled. “That’s right, you might not even believe me if I told you. Even if there was a stone hammer, your heart would be blind. What use is there?”
“What on earth are you saying, Elisa?” The unhappiness in Gareth’s eyes intensified.
But Elisa didn’t care. She looked at him with a half-smile. “I’ll show it to you whether you believe me or not.”
Elisa walked to the master bedroom and took a laptop out. Once she imported all the files into the laptop, she walked to Gareth’s side and sat down.
Her scent suddenly and unexpectedly made its way up Gareth’s nose. At that moment, Gareth felt like his breathing was in disarray!
