Chapter 281 You’re Not a Fish. How Would You Know the Joy of a Fish?
Carle’s eyes flashed a little. Rachel…
As a friend, he was willing to let Rach represent him to help her develop her skills. But he would lose out on an opportunity to be alone with Liz.
His eyes were clearly convoluted. It seemed as though Elisa didn’t know what he was thinking about. She chuckled as she said, “You’re my friend. I won’t deceive you. I wouldn’t let you do something like that unless I was sure about it. Why don’t you give Rach a chance to develop her skills?”
Carle sighed and nodded. “Alright.”
Elisa put the document back into the file. She said casually, “Great. Give this document to Rach later or send her a soft copy. I’ll explain it to her in detail when the time comes.”
Carle pursed his lips. He looked at Elisa. “Liz, Will is a very dangerous person.”
Elisa’s lips twitched. “I never wanted to get close to him at all. He keeps dragging me along so he can get revenge on Wickam Group. Don’t worry. I know what to do.”
Carle sighed gently. At that moment, it seemed like he couldn’t quite hold back the deep affection in his heart. He finally said softly, “Liz, I know that I cause you a lot of stress. If I say what I feel, you will want to avoid me unconsciously. But what I want to tell you today is that I love you above all else. You are the most important person in my life. Without you, I’m afraid I can’t go on.”
Elisa’s expression changed a little, and her gaze was complicated. She was afraid of this happening when she spent time alone with Carle.
Without waiting for her to think about it, Carle suddenly spoke up once again. “Liz, I don’t want you to feel like my love for you is a burden. I won’t force you to consider me, nor will I cause you stress all the time. I just wanted to say, if there comes a day when you’re exhausted and really need support, I can lend you my shoulder, because it belongs to only you.”
The perplexed expression in Elisa’s eyes intensified. She shook her head subconsciously. “Carle, I know the feelings you have for me. But sometimes, you really can’t force things like this. I would rather be your friend. Moreover… with my current situation, I’m not worthy to be with you.”
“You are! I’m the one who isn’t worthy to be with you. I’m the one who’s climbing up socially…” Carle was feeling a little down. He hung his head slightly as he spoke.
Elisa sighed. “Carle, you deserve better. After I went through the heartbreak, I don’t want to get married again. My feelings were all wasted on Gareth. I will never have that new feeling again. Carle, this is unfair to you. I don’t want us to go from friends to rigid lovers.”
Carle’s lashes trembled. Even though he knew that Elisa would turn him down, he was still unable to prepare himself for it. Once again, his heart was in extreme pain, as if it were pierced by a needle.
Carle took a deep breath in and nodded in the end. “Liz, no matter when it is, I’ll be behind you, but I hope that you can give me a chance. I don’t ask for you to get into a relationship with me right now, but in the future, if there’s a day that you want to date, please consider me first?”
“Carle…” The guilt in Elisa’s eyes was mixed with exasperation.
But before she could continue, Carle said, “Liz, this is my only wish. I don’t need you to accept me in the future. I just want to be your first consideration. I’ll wait for you.”
“Carle, like I said, don’t wait for me. You…”
Once again, before she could finish her sentence, Carle looked at her affectionately. “You’re not a fish. How would you know the joy of a fish?”
