That feeling was like waiting for a judgment. Every minute and every second was filled with anxiety.
In the end, Gareth nodded slightly. “It's good that you want to work. I won't stop you. Take a clerical position at Liz's company, maybe a middle management role.”
The smile on Kaylee's face suddenly froze. She thought she was going to Gareth's company instead, but she couldn't afford to stir up trouble. She could only stiffly nod her head.
Kaylee looked at Elisa, almost gritting her teeth as she said, “In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Elisa.”
With a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth, Elisa didn't bother with the usual pleasantries. Having someone around who doesn't understand anything can indeed be quite troublesome. Especially when this person is Kaylee. Why did I agree to let Kaylee work at my own company when I disliked her so much? Well, it's safer if I can keep an eye on her.
Kaylee was fully committed to acting, indicating that she was fine with starting from the grassroots level.
Elisa just smiled without saying a word.
This matter was settled as such, but in reality, none of the three parties were very satisfied.
Yet, it was the best solution they had at that moment.
The three individuals split into two groups, each heading to their respective companies.
Kaylee followed behind Elisa, her gaze lingering on Gareth with longing, hoping that he would turn around and look at her.
Perhaps it was the power of prayer, but just as Kaylee was about to leave, Gareth called out to her.
Kaylee looked at Gareth with a surprised and flattered expression.
He pointed at Kaylee's clothes, “These clothes—”
Before Gareth could finish his sentence, Kaylee asked with a coy expression, “Do I look good?”
Gareth was momentarily at a loss for words. He paused, ignoring the previous topic, and said, “These clothes belong to Liz. I will have Thomas pack them up and bring them back. After work today, you can go buy some clothes you like. There's a shopping mall right next to Liz's company.”
After finishing his explanation, Gareth didn't pay any attention to Kaylee's astonished expression. He simply said goodbye to Elisa and left.
Only Kaylee was left standing in the original spot, her face a picture of embarrassment that she couldn't hide.
It was understandable. She was originally prepared to accept the praise, but unexpectedly, Gareth's comment left the eloquent Kaylee at a loss for words.
Elisa was desperately trying to suppress the corners of her mouth from turning upwards, striving to speak to Kaylee without any emotional fluctuations.
