Gareth had a video conference next. Elisa went back to her room with the plans.
Thomas sent a message to Elisa about the events of the morning.
She spent the entire afternoon pouring over the plan, wondering how to get things straight with the design team.
At night, Gareth ate dinner with her as usual.
Elisa noticed that he was restless but continued eating without any concern.
Unexpectedly, Gareth's phone rang again.
It was Linda.
She smiled as he furrowed his brows. "Isn't she your savior as well as your girlfriend? Isn't it bad to not pick up the call?"
He shot daggers at her mocking smile and snorted. "Who said I wasn't going to pick it up?"
The smile on her face turned even more cynical. "I was just saying."
It sounded like she was provoking him.
He sneered and picked up the call.
Linda's gentle and caring voice came through before he could say a word. "Garry, have you eaten?"
"I'm eating now."
Linda was surprised. "What a coincidence. How's work today?"
He gave Elisa a cold look and was about to reply when Elisa spoke up with a smile. "Mr. Wickam, you shouldn't be using your phone during mealtimes, let alone making a phone call. How can my dear cousin forget her principles?"
Linda was stunned.
Elisa! It's Elisa!
She knew she wasn't wrong. There was a taunting laugh yesterday. It must have been Elisa's laugh! She must be having dinner with Gareth.
