Chapter 1996 Taking Advantage
There’s no way I can help him into bed.
Elisa could only resort to the next best thing. With great difficulty, she managed to help the person onto the couch. Then, Gareth started to move again.
The couch was simply too small to accommodate him. It looked like he was about to roll off after barely settling down.
Left with no other choice, Elisa could only sleep next to Gareth for now.
The couch, which was originally quite spacious, seemed cramped once Gareth lay down on it.
All Elisa could do was to rest her hands on her own abdomen in a proper manner. Otherwise, she would have nowhere to lie down.
No one knew if it was intentional, but after Elisa lay down, Gareth’s hand led her into his embrace.
Elisa was stunned for a moment, unable to react. By the time she came to her senses and tried to push him away, his strength was surprisingly great. He firmly held Elisa captive in his arms, rendering her unable to
move.
After struggling two or three times without success, Elisa simply resigned herself and lay flat.
Gareth was murmuring something under his breath, a satisfied smile plastered on his face. Elisa couldn’t quite catch what he was saying.
One thing was certain; he had been drinking, and quite a lot at that. The smell of alcohol was overwhelming, and his words were somewhat incoherent.
“You’re really asking for trouble, drinking so much when you’re not in good health,” Elisa chided with a chuckle, venting her frustration by playfully poking Gareth’s forehead with her finger.
“Stop messing around,” Gareth mumbled, gripping Elisa’s hand before falling back asleep.
Elisa’s face turned crimson. She wanted to push away but couldn’t.
I’ll just go with the flow. Elisa found a comfortable position and eventually fell asleep.
Meanwhile, Bella arrived at the hotel with the project team.
Immediately, a very polite waiter led the group upstairs.
However, Bella appeared very solemn, twitching at the door for a long time without going in.
