Chapter 418 Separation of Work and Private Matters
Elisa did not move.
Anita Golding looked at her phone and frowned when she saw an incoming call. She turned to Elisa.
“Please excuse me for a moment. I have to answer this call.”
Elisa nodded.
She could not hear the phone conversation.
But Anita’s expression darkened considerably, prompting Elisa to arch an eyebrow and wonder if
something had happened to her son again.
There shouldn’t be any issue with Brandon. Could something else have gone wrong?
“I understand.”
Anita hung up right after that.
Elisa looked at her curiously. “Is your son…”

Elisa breathed a sigh of relief. After all, she could not guarantee she had full control over Brandon.
Anita looked at Elisa and said awkwardly, “Ms. Benett, I… I might have to request your help.”
Although she had always been direct, it was not easy for her to ask someone for help.
Elisa was surprised. “What happened? As long as it’s within my abilities, I’ll help you.”
“I need you to fight a lawsuit for me.”
Elisa looked at Anita closely. “What kind of lawsuit?”
Anita breathed in softly and said, “Let’s have our dinner first.”
Elisa nodded and knew Anita was embarrassed. Since Elisa did not want to ruin her appetite, she did
not say anything and focused on the meal.
Once Elisa finished eating, Anita put down her cutleries and sighed before saying softly, “Can I have
your Whatsapp contact?”
Elisa nodded and took out her phone to exchange Whatsapp contact with Anita. Then, Anita sent her a
document.
“The details of the matter and situation are as stated in the document. You are free to name your fees.”
Elisa read through the document and replied calmly, “If what is said here is complete and true, you will
be able to win.”
Anita’s eyes brightened. “I’m impressed. How much are your fees?”
Elisa chuckled. “My fees are expensive.”
Anita smirked, “I know.”
Elisa smiled and did not say much. “You just have to send all your evidence to me and let me know
once the court sets the hearing date.”
Anita pursed her lips. “If I had known earlier, I would have readily agreed to sign a contract with you
today.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOf course, Anita was joking.
She had clear boundaries between work and private matters.
She would not threaten Elisa with anything.
At the same time, Elisa did not threaten Anita but was helping her. Their dealing could be considered a
business deal that benefited both parties. Therefore, Anita had a rather good impression of Elisa.
Elisa still had not stated her fees, so Anita looked at her with a serious expression and said, “You
should tell me your fees.”
Elisa smiled. “Since I have gained your friendship, this lawsuit shall be my gift to you.”
Anita protested immediately, “No, that would make me indebted to your favor. I would like to separate
professional from private life. It won’t affect our friendship that way.”
Elisa smiled and stopped talking about the matter. Then, she glanced at the time and said, “It’s getting
late, and I should head home. Shouldn’t you go home to spend time with your son?”
Anita frowned and looked at Elisa silently.
On the other hand, Elisa dashingly took a copy of the signed contract and smiled. “See you next time.”
After that, she got up and headed outside without another glance at Anita.
