Why wasn’t she touched?
From the moment James entered the ward, Elisa did not spare any glances at Gareth. She was busy chatting happily with James and Rachel.
He seemed to be invisible to her.
James suddenly felt that something was not quite right in the ward. Only then he noticed Gareth. He smiled warmly at Gareth.
“Mr. Wickam, what brings you here today?”
It was an unexpected visit. Gareth should be busy now.
Gareth simply answered. “I’m free today.”
Although… Everyone ignored him just now. He did not mind since he was a cold person.
Even if they ignored him, it would not make him wait on them.
Rachel, too, could feel the awkwardness in the air. She paused for a moment, then spoke with a smile. “Well… I’m heading out for some air.”
Elisa nodded at her.
Three people were left in the ward.
Elisa gave Gareth a look. Although they did not speak, it was obvious what Elisa wanted from Gareth.
Are you not leaving yet?
Gareth avoided Elisa’s gaze and looked at James.
“Mr. Markee, you are having quite a hard time at the company recently, aren’t you?”
The smile on James’ face froze. But shortly after, James regained his composure and answered, “Why are you asking this out of the blue?”
