Chapter 1425 An Imposing Manner
Or, is the final prize just a diversion while his ultimate intention is…
"Elisa, Grandma sent you a voice message." While Elisa was mulling over the boss' motive, Gareth's voice jolted her back to reality. She turned to look at Gareth, who then played the voice message from Julia. "Gareth, when are you and Elisa coming back? I tried to call her, but it didn't go through. Go and tell Elisa I need to talk to her."
The call didn't go through? Elisa frowned and took out her phone. There was no notification of missed calls. Her phone was always switched on, but she had not received any messages or calls since the afternoon.
She instantly understood Julia's intention but didn't expose it. "Why don't you just reply to Grandma?"
She was certain that Gareth was aware of Julia's intention too.
"But Grandma is looking for you," Gareth remarked.
Elisa was rendered speechless and retorted, "Sure, we're together out here now, but that won't be the case after we return–are you gonna come find me at my place every time Grandma sends you a message to look for me?" Elisa frowned and looked aloof, but it wasn't because she was tired of Julia.
She just hoped for Gareth to come to his senses and remain rational. Neither did she want to flatter herself and repeat her mistake.
Gareth pressed his lips and remained silent momentarily before saying, "If that's what Grandma wants, I…"
"The special program is actually quite simple. Last time, we collaborated with Stowaway Bar to organize an event. Due to the limited space at Stowaway Bar, we moved the event here. Hope everyone is excited to participate!"
Before Gareth could say anything else, the voice of the emcee emerged. Meanwhile, the boss had left the stage.
Elisa spotted Eden and Mr. Carrerra sitting in the private room opposite them. When her gaze met them, the two men raised their glasses at her. Elisa was speechless, thinking they must have reached an agreement just now. Otherwise, it was unlikely for them to gesture at her coincidentally.
"Shall we participate together?" Gareth's low voice came forth. Elisa nodded without hesitating. "Yeah, of course."
"Shall we participate together?" Gareth's low voice came forth. Elisa nodded without hesitating. "Yeah, of course."
When they opened the door to leave, Elisa was surprised to see Mr. Carrerra standing at the door with a wide grin. "Ms. Benett, shall we form a group?" He lifted his brows at Elisa.
Before Elisa could answer, Gareth placed his hand around Elisa's waist and pulled her into his arms domineeringly. "She's my partner."
He blurted with a cold gaze while Elisa acquiesced.
To avoid Mr. Carrerra, she leaned against Gareth's shoulder with a smile.
Eden and Mr. Carrerra appeared to be the same type of people, using similar tactics, but Elisa knew they were completely different.
Mr. Carrerra merely put on an act to mislead her.
But alas, it turned out that Elisa didn't have a chance to participate in the program. Just as Gareth and she were about to ignore Mr. Carrerra and leave, Mr. North approached them in an imposing manner.
