The more Linda thought about it, the more she liked the idea!
If she could get together with Will, she needn't fear anything in the future!
She needn't even be afraid of the one manipulating things behind the scenes. Linda had Will on her side after all.
She took a breath to collect herself and listened.
"So… Does that mean you can't do it right now?" Elisa asked casually.
"Yeah. I'm focused on recovering right now. It will take some time before we can discuss the collaboration. I don't have the energy to work right now."
Linda heard every word Will said. She tensed up. How could this be?!
She parted her lips, but not a sound came out.
"You should rest if that's the case. Call me when you're free, and we can discuss the details." Elisa said.
"Mmhmm." Will didn't want to hang up, but he needed to continue the act with her.
"I'll hang up then. Rest well."
"Okay."
Elisa hung up. She seemed to be oblivious to Will's reluctance.
She turned to Linda and apologized, "I'm sorry, Melinda. He still needs to recover. You heard our conversation."
Linda smiled and shook her head, "It's okay. Health should be his priority if he hasn't recovered fully. Besides, I just returned. There's still so much I need to take care of for the family. Waiting a little longer shouldn't be an issue."
Elisa nodded. "Then… Let me send you back?" She sighed helplessly.
Linda felt nothing but anger towards Elisa. Their meeting amounted to nothing, and she wanted nothing more but for them to go their separate ways.
But the thought of Elisa going to the trouble of driving her home sounded amusing. She gave Elisa an awkward smile, "I… I can't trouble you any further."
