Chapter 316 Stomach Full of Rage
There would be times where anybody would feel reluctant when asked to do anything.
Furthermore, Mr. Whitford had put a lot of thought and done a lot of research on a gorgeous woman like Elisa. If he let Elisa leave, it would be impossible for him to be contented.
Elisa stepped back at once. She looked at Philip. “Do you have other questions, Mr. Whitford?”
Philip smiled and looked at Elisa. “Wouldn’t you say that everything can be discussed, Ms. Benett?”
“Why don’t we sit down and have a few drinks while we continue eating? I’m pretty satisfied with the contract. If we finish the meal together, I will work with Benett Corporation.”
Elisa wrinkled her brows slightly. Philip smiled as he said, “But if you really don’t want to, then… it’s fine if we don’t work together.”
She looked at Philip rather meaningfully. “Did you drug the food, Mr. Whitford?”
Philip was dumbfounded.
“Do you insist on humiliating me, Ms. Benett?”
Elisa didn’t say anything.
But in the next moment, the door of their private room was opened.
Philip immediately turned around, annoyed. Who was it? Didn’t they know that he was dealing with important matters?
But when he saw that it was a man with an exceedingly graceful manner, his expression changed. The next moment, he plastered a smile on his face at once. “Oh, Mr. Shane. Why are you here? Did you enter the wrong room, or did you come looking for me? Haha, I am so honored by your presence.”
Elisa furrowed her brows slightly. She never thought that she would bump into Vincent here.
Vincent wasn’t in a rush to shut the door. He made his way over, and seeing the table full of delicacies, he sat down in a carefree manner. “Mr. Whitford. Ms. Benett. The two of you are eating together? You don’t mind another guest, do you? It just so happened that I’m hungry.”
Philip wrinkled his brows silently.
If Vincent was just a lawyer, maybe he wouldn’t have cared. But this person and his family background were important. He couldn’t afford to offend the Shane family!
He was different from Elisa.
There was such a big difference.
Philip immediately said cheerfully, “What a coincidence! It’s my privilege that you showed up, Mr. Shane.”
Vincent smiled. “I’ve been wanting to eat with you for a long time, Mr. Whitford. But now there’s a woman interfering. That’s not too nice, is it?”
Philip’s expression changed slightly. He looked at Vincent while sizing him up.
He knew that Vincent definitely wouldn’t eat a meal with him for no good reason. After beating around the bush for so long, was he here to protect Elisa?
Philip had spent so much effort, and this woman was just going to escape in the end?
He was feeling so reluctant!
Elisa stood where she was, unmoving. She hadn’t sealed the deal. With Vincent’s actions, it was very possible that she was about to lose what she had almost caught.
“Do you mind, Mr. Whitford?” Vincent picked up an untouched set of utensils.
Seeing him take the utensils with such ease and put food onto his plate, Elisa’s brows furrowed slightly. “Some of the food might not be very tasty, Mr. Shane.”
Vincent looked at Elisa with a stomach full of rage.
But he couldn’t take it out on her. In fact, he had to protect this woman!
He came out to have fun today, but Gareth, the stupid man. Gareth couldn’t have fun when they were gathered together. Gareth had to make him put things right for Elisa.
Gareth still acted like he didn’t care about the woman. What an incredibly stubborn man! Then why did Gareth make him come to protect Elisa?
D*mn!
He still had a stomach full of rage when he looked at Elisa.
He couldn’t beat her at racing, and he couldn’t defeat her in court. How could he be so useless in front of this woman?
Seeing Vincent look at her with such rage, Elisa was baffled.
