CHAPTER 1255 CALLING HIM WILL
Very quickly, they finished breakfast. Neither ate much, just enough to keep their stomachs from growling.
Elisa put down her utensils. Her face was a mask of tranquility. She did not spare one glance at Gareth.
On the other hand, Gareth kept his eyes on her. "How biased are you toward me?" He asked her calmly.
"Bias? Do you think everything you have done can account for my bias toward you?" She asked him passively.
Gareth pursed his lips in thought. He looked at a loss and simultaneously agreed with Elisa.
Elisa sneered. She didn't want to waste saliva on him. She got up and said, "There's nothing else for us to say. We don't need to debate on this topic. We can talk about anything if we are not together."
Elisa left immediately after that.
Gareth sat, motionless. He did not hold on to Elisa this time. His expression stayed troubled for a long time.
…
Elisa took an Uber to the office and arrived an hour later. Her car was still parked where she had left it
yesterday. She needed to get someone to drive it back.
She noticed a text from Thomas when she turned on her phone. He had driven the car back, parked it in the basement, and given the key to her assistant.
Elisa returned a message and put her phone back. She went back to work.
However, her brain was filled with images from this morning's breakfast with Gareth. He hadn't said anything. He seemed even more pitiful than she did.
In a moment, her annoyance rose again. Elisa turned on her computer but couldn't bring herself to work. She laid her arms on the desk and placed her head on them. She closed her eyes in silent meditation.
Elisa's phone suddenly rang and shook her awake. She saw that it was Will calling and composed herself.
"Mr. Darcey."
"Why are you being a stranger?" Will sighed.
Elisa blinked slowly. She ignored his question and asked, "Do you need something?"
"Yeah, a little help. Do you have time for lunch this afternoon?"
Elisa frowned. Grandma seems to be doing better. I don't want to do anything that distresses her or makes her worry. It will affect her recovery. She still needs her medications. Anything could happen, so
she needed to be careful.
After pondering, she spoke quietly, "Can you not tell me over the phone?"
"Not really. It's better if I told you in person. But if it's hard for you to be in public, we can meet privately," Will said nonchalantly. He did not want to pressure her.
Elisa thought about it and replied, "Okay. I'll come with my assistant."
She made it implicitly clear that she was meeting him for business, not for personal matters.
Will's eyes narrowed, but he sighed, "Sure."
"I'll see you in the afternoon."
"Okay."
Elisa hung up without replying.
Will look at his phone and heave a sigh of exasperation. He felt he was getting further and further away from acquiring Elisa. She used to call him 'Will,' but now…
