Although the man was briefly stunned, he dared not give it any thought. Taking a step back, Thomas exited.
Although the man was briefly stunned, he dared not give it any thought. Taking a step back, Thomas exited.
When Thomas was in view, Gareth noticed that the door was shut. With a serious attitude, he went forward:
“Mr. Wickam,” said his operative. “Mr. Semoa is at Benett’s house.”
Gareth’s expression darkened.
He cast a cold gaze at the man, “It’s just the two of them?”
“No, there are Miss Gilio and Miss Markee with her.” The man adjusted his tie, “Mr. Carle aims to visit to be a
possible suitor for Elisa Benett.”
Thomas felt a frigid look from Gareth.
“Everyone utilized this trick on Mr. Carle because his predicament was so dire. They haven’t told him the truth since
his mind can’t handle the stress right now, but I am concerned that Miss Benett may be misled by Mr. Carle’s
predicament if things continue this way.”

He immediately set it down the next second, as if he had no desire to read the document in front of him.
Thomas bowed his head and rubbed his nose; he had already spoken what needed to be said.
Now that Mr. Wickam wished to maintain his integrity, he refuses to acknowledge his feelings for Elisa. Leaving him
in charge of keeping an eye on her is uncomfortable and extremely exhausting.
I’m just an employee, but even a blind man can tell he’s obsessed with this woman. I’ll save my skin and not say
anything.
Thomas obediently complies with Gareth’s commands.
Thomas coughed quietly, realizing that Gareth had never given any commands. “Is there anything else you wish to
update?”
Gareth clenched his jaws and remained silent.
Thomas left after realizing their meeting has concluded.
There was no one else in the office save Gareth. The man took up the phone irritably but immediately slammed it
down once more.
Now what.
Should I question Elisa?
She has the freedom to do as she pleases, right?
What’s the point of my warning to her?
What warning is there now that it’s at this point?
For a moment, Gareth stared blankly.
He remembered what Jeremy Chase had said to him.
“Gareth, you’re in love with her. Admit it.”
“There’s nothing to be ashamed of,” coaxed his friend. “And there’s nothing to deny. Ignoring your emotions won’t
do you any good, so be honest with yourself. Don’t you think you’re turning paranoid?”
“You’re both divorced, so it’s not in your lane to control Elisa. Your ego is just a façade I believe.” His best friend
nudged, “Are you afraid of people’s opinions of you?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“The only thing you want is to control her. You didn’t know how to cherish her before, but now you should reflect on
it. She loved you so much before, maybe there is still room for her to come back.”
His words lingered.
At that time, Gareth scoffed. He thought little of that conversation.
The man was so confident to never be with a conceited woman such as Elisa.
He doesn’t give a damn about what other people think, but when it comes to his aspiration, nobody can argue with
him. His worst failure was Elisa.
The same is true now.
He immediately heard the phone ring, which brought him back to reality.
He scowled as soon as he realized it was Linda’s phone number. He hung up the phone and blocked the number.
Wait, isn’t Linda pretending to be crazy now?
Gareth phoned her back after canceling the blocking.
The other party connected quickly.
“Gareth, you are finally willing to call me.”
Gareth frowned. He had already started the recording.
