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.
