Elisa knew that Linda must have figured out what had happened. She was being supportive on the surface, but she must've been secretly pleased.
Elisa was willing to give up on the Western Suburbs project, but she was surprised that the Darcey Group was quick to end their previous partnerships.
She patted Linda's back reassuringly. "I'll find a way no matter what. She's only mad at me because of the accident. I'll try my best to get in touch with him. Don't worry about it."
Elisa made sure to hook her with bait. After all, didn't Linda want to use the Western Suburbs project to test her?
Linda risked making a fool of herself if she got involved in the Western Suburbs project.
Suddenly, Elisa received a call from Julia.
"Elisa, Gareth's cousin's wedding has been moved up. I've booked flights for Gareth and you to fly out tomorrow morning. Someone will be picking you up from the airport."
Although Elisa complied with Julia's request to attend the wedding with Gareth as his wife, she couldn't help but feel it was all a bit rushed.
Furthermore, Grandma didn't provide the opportunity for her to decline.
All the arrangements had been made without her agreement.
Elisa was displeased with Julia's sudden arrangements for her, but she knew she couldn't say anything. After all, she had agreed to Julia's request in the first place.
"Elisa, why aren't you saying anything?" Julia's forehead furrowed as she waited for a response. "Are you too busy with work? Will this affect your plans?"
She was worried that Elisa and Gareth's relationship wasn't progressing, and she hoped this trip to Gareth's cousin's wedding would help.
Even though Elisa's plans were affected by Julia's sudden arrangements, she couldn't go against Grandma's wishes. She had to comply with her request. "No, I'm almost done with my work. You said the wedding was brought forward? No worries, I'll get there with Gareth first thing in the morning."
She figured the sooner they got the wedding over with, the better.
Rachel's displeasure was palpable.
Linda was curious about where Elisa and Gareth were headed the following day.
