Elisa was aware of Linda's disguise, so she wouldn't possibly fall into her trap. However, it didn't make sense that her phone was now with Linda.
"Ask her to call me back," Gareth uttered coldly. Linda was hurt by his disdainful, arrogant attitude. He didn't even bother to ask her to pass a message. As such, she thought Gareth might have suspected her.
"Wait a minute. She's back." Linda passed the phone to Elisa.
Elisa knew the call had affected Linda. She instantly took over the phone and asked Gareth, "What is it?"
Gareth asked, "What's going on?"
Elisa replied indifferently, "I walked away to answer nature's call and passed my bag to Melinda in a hurry. I'll only leave after the banquet ends. You can go home first."
She knew Linda was observing her, so she didn't show much expression.
"I'll wait for you." Gareth insisted. Elisa did not answer further.
After hanging up the call, Linda hesitantly told Elisa about her feelings. "Elisa, you didn't know Mr. Wickam's attitude when I picked up the call just now. If you're not beside me, I'll surely become the main suspect."
"Sigh! I thought I could avoid him, but who knew he would call? Melinda, I'll contact you tomorrow to discuss the plan." Elisa deliberately heaved a sigh.
Linda nodded as she was interested in Elisa's proposal.
The banquet was held for 'Melinda.' When Linda and Elisa stepped out of the washroom, the Garners came to bring Linda away. Linda looked at Elisa apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, Elisa. I gotta go."
If the Garners didn't interrupt them, Linda intended to stay longer with Elisa.
"See you tomorrow then." Elisa waved at Linda with a smile.
As soon as Linda left, Gareth appeared beside Elisa. "You became friends with her?" He asked in perplexity.
Linda returned with this fake identity. Given the grudges between Elisa and her, how could they possibly become friends?
Elisa laughed, "If you don't believe it, do you think it could be real?" Her intention was clear. Both Linda and her were testing each other.
Just now, she purposely asked Linda to answer the call to stir up her anger and hatred.
