Elisa decided to play along and pretended to help Linda up.
Her attitude remained clear. "Pleading with me won't help you in this matter because I am not Will himself. You'd be better off pleading with him instead."
"But he listened to you."
This was the crux of the matter.
Elisa couldn't help but frown. "Will is not my pet, how could he possibly obey my every command? Linda, you're oversimplifying things. You should focus on figuring out how to secure your upcoming collaboration and how to stabilize your foundation. That's what's most important right now. Order some food, it won't look good if the waiter sees you like this later," said Elisa, releasing her hand.
Linda's act of kneeling was merely for show. Elisa had just helped her up, so it was impossible for her to remain kneeling on the ground for long.
She hadn't given up yet.
"Liz, could you mention it to Will for me? I... There's a show in Southdale that I want to see. Would you like to come with me?"
Linda spoke slowly, cautiously, not even daring to let her gaze fall on Elisa's body.
For Elisa, everything Linda did was meticulously planned.
Just a moment ago, Linda had played the victim to gain sympathy, then caused a commotion, and now she was saying this.
"Sure, when is it?" Since they were going to watch the show, they might as well go. After all, Elisa was curious to find out about Linda's true intentions.
"Wednesday," Linda replied.
Well, I'm still free on Wednesday.
And so, the two of them shared a meal together.
Once Brie and North had made their decision, they needed to formulate a plan. Since Gareth was not in Bayswe, they could only target Will for now.
