After Elisa entered the room, Winslow told her he would attend a banquet tonight.
Elisa wasn't interested in banquets.
She knew he was busy and that many people would get the wrong idea if they saw them together too often.
So she shook her head. "I don't really want to go, Uncle. And about Brie... she's the most loyal employee you can possibly get. Maybe you should keep her here?"
Winslow was surprised that Elisa came to plead for mercy on Brie's behalf. "Your reputation wouldn't have been sullied if she hadn't talked nonsense to those people."
He certainly did not foresee that Elisa would be such a benevolent figure to have forgiven Brie for her misconduct.
Brie hadn't even worked by her side for more than a day.
Besides, she had never been a person who casually helped others, especially those who had negatively affected her life.
Winslow's thoughts raced as he couldn't quite understand what Brie had done to make Elisa come to him and plead for her.
Elisa knew that Winslow was trying to protect her and didn't want her to be wronged.
But such a small matter wouldn't really affect her reputation. Even if Brie hadn't said anything, people would still get the wrong idea.
"Uncle, no one knows about my identity right now, so they misunderstood. Brie made a mistake in the heat of the moment, but she is undoubtedly a good assistant. I don't think I need to say much more about that. After all these years of working for you, Uncle, you should have felt it too."
Elisa pursed her lips as she tried to persuade him.
Winslow kept silent, carefully taking in her words.
"Let her stay. I think she's a good person. If you don't want her, don't blame me for stealing her from you," Elisa said with a light smile.
