Chapter 340 How Can You Be So Incompetent?
Julia shook her head languidly. “I’m not going. Anyway, what is your grandfather to do if I leave? But still, I’m quite surprised to see how you have changed into a better person.”
Elisa’s eyes flashed with mockery. Still, it is good this way because it will help Grandma with her recovery. She can’t withstand any emotional blows and triggers in her current condition.
Gareth remained silent.
Elisa ignored him completely. For the rest of the time, Elisa and Julia chatted happily. Once they finished dinner, Elisa and Gareth got ready to leave.
Julia seemed glad to see Elisa and Gareth standing side by side. She had a gentle smile on her face.
Then, she chuckled and said, “Both of you should take care during the business trip. If there is enough time, you should go sightseeing and not miss out on the local scenery. Also, even when you are busy with work, remember to take some time to rest, okay?”
Elisa nodded. “Okay, Grandma. You should go to bed early tonight and remember to take your medication on time, okay?”
For the last part, Elisa deliberately imitated Julia’s tone.
Gareth could not help but smile a little, but no one noticed.
Julia instantly broke into a soft laugh. “I know. I know. I’ll do as you say.”
Elisa also could not help but chuckle. “Alright. Grandma, you should get an early rest.”
“I’ll walk you out.”
Julia got up and walked ahead immediately.
Elisa and Gareth followed her.
The driver drove the car this time. Gareth went ahead to the car and opened the backseat door.
Elisa stood behind him and waited for him to get in. However, Gareth did not do so and looked at her instead.
Julia understood what was going on and pushed Elisa’s arm. “Elisa, you should get into the car.”
Elisa’s eyes flashed with awkwardness. She was planning to sit in the front passenger seat. That way, she would not be too close to him.
However, seeing that Gareth refused to budge, she had no choice but to get into the car.
Then, Gareth entered the car and sat beside her.
Julia’s mood improved considerably. She smiled and watched their car travel away.
Once the car was out of sight, she returned to the house. She had a happy day today.
It seemed she would have a good sleep that night.
…
Meanwhile, in the car, Elisa and Gareth shed their gentle demeanor and became cold again.
When the driver started the car, he felt a strong desire to turn on the heater as it was cold.
It was so cold that his hands were nearly frozen.
Elisa and Gareth were completely silent throughout the journey to the airport.
They were the only ones going on this business trip, so Elisa’s expression was tense.
The journey to the airport went smoothly, and they boarded the plane without issue. However, their seats on the plane were also next to each other.
Although Elisa did not wish to sit beside him, she did not say anything. Since Gareth waited at the side like a gentleman for her to get in first, she went in and took a seat.
Gareth then sat next to her and pulled the curtain beside him.
Their space instantly became small.
It felt as if the two of them were the only ones on the plane. The strange feeling in Elisa’s heart grew even more unbearable.
…
Meanwhile, somewhere else, Linda found out Gareth and Elisa had left and burst into fury.
She slammed her hand on the table and looked at Yara fiercely. “Why are you so incompetent?”
Yara panicked and shook her head urgently. “Ms. Linda, I didn’t expect Philip and Elisa to have this kind of resource. When I investigated previously, Philip only wanted…”
Linda was so furious that she wanted to strangle Yara. “What did you think? When they had a meal together that day, did you not notice that Gareth and Vincent were there?”
