The crowd bickered back and forth as they watched Gareth and Elisa leave.
Someone suddenly realized the trouble they were in.
“Oh my gosh… Mr. Wickam and Ms. Elisa left together, but how are we going to leave in this sea of roses?”
This comment made the bickering crowd stop and look around.
Sh*t! How are we going to deal with these roses? How do we leave? What will we do if we anger Mr. Wickam by stepping on the flowers?! But there’s no other route!
At this moment, they didn’t want to spend time discussing their boss’ relationship; all they wanted to do was go home! They could gossip at home!
…
Meanwhile, Gareth dragged Elisa to the car. Once the door closed, all pretense fell from Elisa’s face. She was beyond unhappy.
“What are you trying to get at?!”
“I just wanted to give you roses. What do you mean?” Gareth looked at her cynically.
Elisa’s face darkened, and she said through gritted teeth, “You knew why I punished you yesterday. And yet, you’re coming to bite me back by making such a big scene. Don’t you feel ashamed?”
