Elisa explained patiently, "I have reasons for refusing to let you come here. This is not a vacation."
Rachel had been friends with Elisa for many years. She knew what Elisa meant.
Although she was angry, she knew Elisa was trying to protect her.
However, she could not help but make her feelings known.
"Liz, I'm not scared of the danger. I'm willing to sacrifice my life if it means helping you."
They had been friends for many years and helped each other countless times.
Sacrifice?
Rachel was truly fearless.
Elisa understood Rachel, but she would never let Rachel put herself at risk.
Still, she played along with her. "Sure, I won't hesitate to contact you if there's something you can do."
"I'm not falling for that! Are you saying I'm useless to you now?"
Rachel threw a tantrum.
Elisa laughed and replied, "I didn't say that. You're the one who said it."
Rachel knew Elisa did not mean it that way.
Thus, she decided to stop bothering Elisa and reminded her, "Liz, you must carefully consider the things we discussed. You must mean whatever you say and not just to appease me. You are alone in Moranta. I know your capabilities, but you still need to watch out and take care of yourself. Don't do something too risky."
"Sure, I'll heed your words and be careful, Ms. Markee," Elisa replied playfully to ease the heaviness of their conversation.
"All right, Ms. Benett. I'll accept your promise for now."
"It's late. You should get some rest. I'll return once I'm done with the matters here. We can have a good chat then."
"Okay."
They hung up after that.
Elisa put her phone away and looked up to see Gareth's stern gaze.
She could not help but frown.
