She had forgotten by then. She watched the scene before her with an alarmed expression as she stood
as a hindrance in the doorway. At the same time, the hand that she had previously raised was still
stuck in its original posture. It hadn’t moved.
The rate of her breathing might have been a little loud. Elisa slowly turned, and Will followed her gaze
and looked over.
Ms. Dunn’s expression changed. She said at once in a panicked tone, “I’m sorry, Mr. Darcey. I didn’t
mean to eavesdrop. I… I have some things to report to you.”
Will was feeling very good that day. He said indifferently, “You can head back for now.”
Ms. Dunn was a little surprised. Even though Mr. Darcey looked slightly indisposed, he was a person
who was clear on rewards and penalizations. Take what she did for example. If it was previously, she
would have been penalized a lot.

After all, Mr. Darcey was the type of person who wouldn’t hold grudges against people if he didn’t settle
matters with them immediately.
Ms. Dunn said her thanks in a hurry, “Yes, Mr. Darcey!”
She hugged the files in her hands tightly as she ran out quickly.
Only the two of them were left in the office. Will smiled as he stood up. “I better close the door so that
others won’t disturb us.”
Elisa wrinkled her brows slightly. She didn’t close the door just now because she wanted to leave after
speaking with him. But now, Will was at the door and shut it tight.
Will turned and looked at Elisa, who was dressed formally. His lips curved a little. “You look good in
your work clothes. You look very noble, capable, and experienced.”
Elisa’s lips twitched. “Thank you.”
Will walked to Elisa’s side and stopped. Looking at the person before him, there was a split second
where he wanted to take her into his arms.
This woman was actually dangerous. When he first approached her, he wanted to use her and partner
with her.
But now…
He was genuine and sincere. He really wanted to be together with her.
A short time had passed, but after getting to know her, he had fallen headfirst for this woman.
He didn’t plan to say all this because if he did, she wouldn’t believe a single word. She would think that
he was being frivolous instead.
Elisa saw his gentle gaze that was directed at her. She said softly, “The money that I have to return to
you is in here. When I represented you in court, my fee was what we agreed upon. I won’t take any
more.”
“This is what was agreed upon. This was additional fees for the items we talked about. It’s yours.”
Elisa furrowed her brows slightly. It was obvious that she wasn’t planning to take it. Gareth understood

He smiled. “You can return it to me in another way.”
Elisa looked at him, confused.
Will’s lips arched a little. Like I said, if this is because you want to provide for me, I’ll definitely take it.”
Elisa glanced at him, slightly dumbfounded. “Whatever you like.”
The trace of a smile in Will’s eyes deepened. He said gently, “Do you want to stay and eat lunch
together? Since you’re going to be my bankroller in the future, why don’t I take you around Darcey
Group? You can be in charge if you see anything that you like.”
Elisa’s brows jumped. Will was trying hard to rope her in. If his rival wasn’t Gareth, maybe they could
interact and be friends. This man was clever. He did things in a moderate but elegant manner.
They could have partnered together. It was a shame…
She couldn’t hurt Grandma and Grandpa.
“No, I need to go to work. I’ll be leaving,” she said and turned to leave, but her arm was suddenly pulled
back.
