Chapter 321 Mr. Wickam Can Tell
They still thought Elisa had it in her. After all, she was a top-rate lawyer.
But from how they saw it now, she was better at being a lawyer.
Linda saw the scorn in everyone’s eyes as they looked at Elisa. The corners of her mouth curved slightly as she smiled at everyone and said, “So I’ll be the host tonight and treat everyone to a meal. Are all of you free tonight? It’s alright if you’re busy.”
Ms. Benett was the chairman’s daughter! Who had the right to say no?
Even if they didn’t want to go, they had to.
Of course, many wanted to watch the action. If they were lucky, there might even be juicy gossip for them!
“Ms. Benett is being so kind. Of course we have to go! I don’t have anything to do tonight.”
“Me neither.”
…
Amidst the commotion, Linda giggled. “If that’s the case, we’ll go ahead. Don’t go home when work ends. We’ll leave from here.”
There was nothing but disdain in Elisa’s eyes. Linda never said a single word to her about this from the start until finish.
If she had turned Linda down in front of everyone, Linda wouldn’t be humiliated. In fact, others would think that she was unappreciative of being acknowledged, and rumors about her would spread.
Rumors that she was incapable, lacking character, and ungrateful for familial affection. How would she be worthy to enter the higher level of the company?
Linda did such a thing with great fanfare today only because she invited Philip as well.
Elisa could counter Linda’s every move. She was looking for an opportunity to clear the air, and now, Linda served it up on a platter. She could clear things up as soon as possible, so why shouldn’t she do it?
Amongst everyone’s anticipation, Elisa suddenly received a call from Thomas.
“Mr. May.”
“Ms. Benett, Mr. Wickam has reviewed the proposal in its entirety, and we’ve signed the contract. As the project is starting soon, Mr. Wickam wants to know when you’ll be able to come over.”
Elisa raised her brows. She knew that Gareth meant for her to go there today. She had to arrive at whatever time he wanted her to.
But Thomas made it sound good.
He may have anticipated that she would go there at once, so she wouldn’t feel as uneasy when she heard it.
Holding her cell phone, Elisa answered serenely. “I’m available at any time. It’s up to Mr. Wickam.”
Thomas smiled. “Alright. Please come to Wickam Group now, Ms. Benett. This proposal has basically no similarities with the previous proposal, so Mr. Wickam means for you to come alone and not drag along any useless people.”
Elisa furrowed her brows a little. “But I made improvements on the foundation of others, and…”
“You don’t have to worry about that. We will communicate it with Benett Corporation. Furthermore, Mr. Wickam can tell that you were the one who planned this proposal.”
“Moreover, the person who had previously planned it doesn’t have the heart to do this, and they don’t want to be in charge of this project either. You don’t have to worry, Ms. Benett.”
Seeing that Thomas had already said so much, Elisa couldn’t say anything else. She could only answer, “Alright. I’ll come over now.”
She hung up and informed Kira before she left.
After all, other than the manager and assistant manager, Kira was in charge of everything else in the office as the team leader.
Soon, Elisa reached Gareth’s company with all the necessary materials.
She saw Thomas sitting in the waiting area once she arrived.
The receptionist was puzzled about why Elisa was there when Thomas suddenly spoke up, “Ms. Benett.”
