Chapter 282 Are You Confident?
Elisa closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair. In the end, she said with some difficulty, “Okay.”
From today onward, she was afraid that she would have to avoid Carle. He was still a friend that meant a lot to her, but she didn’t want to interact with him so often. This would only bring him too much hope and disappointment.
Carle’s lips slowly curved on his good-looking face. There was a light that couldn’t be captured deep in his eyes. He looked at her and said in a gentle voice, “Thank you, Liz.”
Elisa’s lashes trembled. She paused for a moment before saying softly, “Take me to the law firm, please.”
“Alright.”
Carle obeyed. Elisa’s feelings were in a mess.
If she met Carle first, would she have been in less sadness and pain? Would she not have to experience Gareth’s coldness?
Would she have been able to walk steadily with Carle for the rest of their lives?
It was a shame that destiny had a wicked sense of humor. She was destined to walk her path, and she was destined to go through seven emotions and six desires.
On the way, the two of them didn’t speak. When they reached the law firm, she got out of the car. She smiled as she looked at Carle. “Be careful on your way back. Also, don’t forget to contact Rach.”
“Alright.” There was a sliver of a warm smile in the corner of Carle’s lips. Other than his confession just now, he had a particularly easygoing air to him. It wouldn’t stress anyone out.
He was as warm as jade and had classic good looks.
Elisa had a complicated expression. He deserved to be with a good lady, not a broken being like her.
Elisa got out of the car and didn’t look back at Carle, leaving him with her heartless figure.
The stabbing pain in Carle’s heart spread throughout his body in an instant, but he didn’t want to upset Liz, so he drove away at once.
Elisa went to the office. Charli wasn’t around; she must have been away for some matters. Elisa sat down in her seat, and her expression was silent and complicated.
Her head lay on the back of the chair as she slowly closed her eyes.
Elisa muddled through the rest of the day. The next day, Rachel called her early in the morning. Elisa had washed up and picked up the call.
“Babe, are you ready? I’ll come pick you up, alright? I heard that your car was in an accident?” Rachel was energetic, and her voice sounded quite excited.
She thought that Carle must have contacted Rachel. She answered, “Mm. You can come over.”
The car repairs were going to take a few days. For the next few days, she resumed her previous inconvenience when she had to leave the house.
“Oh yeah, do you want to eat breakfast? Should I get something for you?” Rachel said as she picked up her car keys and headed down.
Elisa looked at the time on her cell phone. “I’ll prepare breakfast. Come over so we can eat together. There’s enough time.”
“Ooh! That sounds good! Wait for me, I’ll reach in fifteen minutes!”
There was a short distance between Rachel and Elisa’s house. Elisa scratched her brows and hung up after she responded. As soon as she finished preparing breakfast, there was a knock at the door.
Elisa opened the door quickly, and Rachel walked in as she started to look around willfully.
“Did you make oats? It looks good!”
“Mm.”
She made overnight oats by soaking oats in the fridge the night before.
“I’m so lucky to have a friend like you!”
Her voice was filled with excitement, and her eyes were joyful.
Elisa served up the overnight oats and glanced at her. “Are you confident about Carle’s case?”
