In no time, Gareth carried Elisa into the car carefully while the latter didn't think anything was wrong. After all, many eyes were watching them, so Gareth wouldn't possibly drag her into the car violently.
Moreover, Julia could be watching the live stream too. If she knew Elisa fell into the water and Gareth just sat aside and did nothing, he would've wasted this chance.
In fact, she could had swum back on her own just now. However, she decided to continue hiding the fact that she could swim because the opponent might harm her in the same way again. It was a way of protecting herself.
After closing the car door, Gareth shot a cold glance at her. "Don't act stupidly in front of me next time."
Elisa's eyes fluttered. She opened her handbag and realized that her phone was spoiled as a result of having been soaked in water.
She squeezed a smile at Gareth. "May I borrow your phone?"
Gareth wore a sarcastic smile and replied, "Remember to compensate me with a phone."
Then, he took out his phone from his pants pocket – water was still dripping down the phone.
Elisa was tongue-tied.
Actually, Gareth could have changed in the resting lounge, but he didn't do so and left directly as he wanted to get back to the hotel as soon as possible. The hotel was nearby.
Elisa frowned and looked at Thomas. "Mr. May, may I borrow your phone?"
"Sure."
Upon receiving the phone from Thomas, Elisa immediately sent a message and deleted the message history before returning the phone to him.
Thereafter, there was a pin-drop silence in the car.
This time, Gareth didn't carry Elisa. Wearing Thomas' jacket, Elisa strode into the lift. The moment she got back to the room, she went straight into the bathroom to change.
