There would come a day when Gareth would stand beside her and give her everything instead.
No one would take her place!
With such thoughts, Nicole looked down and got into her car.
Not long after, Elisa reached her car.
When she walked to the driver's seat, Vincent suddenly ran over and opened the door.
He smiled at Elisa. "Let me drive! How can I let you drive while hitching a ride from you? Leave it to me!"
Elisa was dumbstruck.
When did she agree to give them a ride?
But Vincent didn't give Elisa a chance to say anything. He immediately got into the driver's seat.
Elisa's brows wrinkled slightly, and she walked to the backseat.
But she never thought that Gareth would walk to the other side of the backseat and get into the car.
Elisa frowned. She went to the backseat because it was closer to the driver's seat. She hadn't planned on walking to the other side of the passenger's seat. Furthermore, Gareth was on that side at the time.
But now…
She felt indescribably jittery and irritable. She was on the verge of booting the man. Since he'll work with Nicole, why didn't he get a ride from her? Why is he harassing me instead?
Vincent started the engine and sped off. He passed Nicole's car shortly.
He glanced at the Bentley behind him through the rearview mirror before looking at Elisa in the backseat. She had her eyes shut. "Why did Nicole ask you out today?"
Elisa kept her eyes shut and didn't plan on opening them. She answered with ease, "Just for a chat. She didn't say much."
"Didn't say much?" Vincent was astonished. "This woman has a motive behind every move. She's been managing Tabor Group for the past few years and has the best business tips and tricks. She will never waste her time on someone that doesn't benefit her. Why would Nicole meet you without good reason?"
Elisa's lashes trembled slightly. Yes. Vincent is right. Nicole isn't the type of person who wastes her time on someone without cause.
How could she not know what Nicole's intentions were? But Nicole might not necessarily believe her if she said too much, and she didn't want to waste her time.
Elisa opened her eyes and saw that Vincent was still waiting for her reply. Her lips twitched. "Why else do you think she came looking for me?"
Her indifferent tone acted like a spark that set Gareth's heart ablaze with rage.
He turned and looked coldly at Elisa, but it was as though she didn't see it. She shut her eyes again and spoke to Gareth distantly. "I've always admired your swift and decisive reactions as well as business tips and tricks, Mr. Wickam. But please manage your personal life well. Don't involve other people."
What she meant was clear. She didn't want Gareth constantly disturbing her and tried to draw a line between them. What he and Nicole did had nothing to do with her, as long as she wasn't involved!
Gareth laughed in his rage at Elisa's words.
Vincent was stupefied.
How vicious!
He couldn't say anything now.
Gareth's sharp gaze fell on Elisa's delicate face. He noticed she had shut her eyes and didn't want to speak to him. He raised his hand abruptly and cupped her lower jaw in his thick palm.
The pain made Elisa open her eyes in an instant. She tried to back away, but there was nowhere to go. She furrowed her brows tightly and grabbed his arm, muttering irritably, "Gareth, what are you doing?!"
