She was startled by his sudden appearance. Why had this jerk come here?
"Get in the car."
Gareth demanded in a deep, emotionless voice.
Elisa had no reason to turn down a free ride, especially since he was already here.
Stacy and Elisa supported Mr. Lynch to the passenger seat behind.
Gareth's face twisted into a deep scowl as he looked at her.
As Elisa was about to get into the back seat, Gareth stopped her. "Get in the front," he said. "I have something to talk to you about."
Elisa did as she was told and got into the passenger seat beside him.
Gareth's expression was inscrutable as he spoke. "How are you planning to help them?" he asked.
Gareth's knowledge of Elisa's whereabouts made it clear that he was not oblivious to the truth.
Elisa no longer felt the need to hide it from him. "I'm planning to get Mr. Lynch and Stacy a house near the elementary school and have Stacy enrolled in her new school," she replied.
She had already figured out the plans for Mr. Lynch and Stacy to settle in the city. Such matters were trivial to her and Gareth.
After Elisa explained her plans, Gareth immediately called Thomas to get started on the arrangements.
Thomas was able to settle the matter in five minutes.
But Elisa didn't feel grateful to Gareth for intervening.
She believed she could have handled it herself.
She didn't want Gareth to be involved in her matters. "I told you I could handle it myself," Elisa said with an exaggerated sigh. "Why do you keep interfering in my personal affairs? Are you trying to make me feel guilty?"
She was honest with him, even though she knew it would make him uncomfortable.
Elisa had tried to distance herself from Gareth, but he kept popping up in her life.
Gareth's face turned grim as he raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Why do you think that of me? I didn't want you to get exhausted from handling this alone. There were no cars on the street when I got here. Do you really think you could have gotten a taxi here?"
She would have had to wait for several hours.
Furthermore, she had to hold on to a frail middle-aged man!
