Elisa frowned without uttering a word, while Rachel said softly, "I'll get the door. We don't know who it is at the moment."
It could be Will, who's popping in for a free meal, or it could be an irate Gareth. Worried that Elisa might be bullied as soon as she opened the door, Rachel offered to get the door herself.
After opening the door, shock crossed her eyes when she saw a professionally-dressed lady. "You are…"
"Is this Elisa's place?" Charli asked with a warm smile.
"Aren't you Ms. Lucas?" Rachel nodded subconsciously.
Charli smiled upon hearing that. "Have you heard of me?"
"Of course I have! Iris is the person I respect the most!" she replied in excitement. "Are you friends with Elisa?"
Charli nodded with a flicker of emotion in her eyes. "Yes."
Rachel immediately gave way to her. I respect Iris the most, but her assistant Charli is also an independent woman, even though she hadn't furthered her career and only works with Iris. I love both of them!
Charli was surprised to find the smell of food after taking a whiff. "I'm just in time for a meal?"
In fact, she was not here for food. Since she was quite busy, her meal times were irregular.
Elisa smiled. "Take a seat. Food's almost ready."
Since she had given her address to Charli, she was not surprised to see the latter here and assumed that she was here for a good reason.
Hence, the three of them had a meal together. Rachel's curiosity was piqued because of Charli's arrival.
With a confused look in her eyes, she asked Elisa, "How did you get to know Charli, Elisa? Why didn't you introduce her to me before this?"
