Chapter 322 No Opinions Tolerated
Elisa nodded and made her way over.
“Let’s go,” Thomas said as he led Elisa to the elevators.
It was the president’s personal elevator.
The receptionist didn’t care about anything else. She took out her cell phone and started to discuss it in
the group chat with other staff members.
—Pearl Ward (Reception): ‘Elisa just came over! And Mr. May was the one who received her! They
went up in the president’s private elevator!’
With just one message, the whole company was in an uproar!
—Kai Harper (Administrative Department): ‘Oh my god! Really? The two of them are still in contact?’

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMessages of astonishment, disbelief, as well as endless envy and jealousy filled the group chat.
…
—Frankie Rodgers (Sales Department): ‘I have a relative in the marketing department of Benett
Corporation. It seems like Elisa has started working there recently, and they have a partnership project
with Wickam Group. I heard that Mr. Wickam agreed to Elisa’s proposal for Linda’s sake.’
—Pearl (Reception): ‘I see. But Elisa is too lucky. She got a divorce from Mr. Wickam, but she can still
be so connected to him. She has such a good life, doesn’t she?’
While everyone was discussing, Elisa and Thomas arrived at Gareth’s office.
Thomas knocked on the door as usual.
“Mr. Wickam, Ms. Benett is here.”
“Come in.”
His voice was crisp as usual, unstained by anything.
After Elisa made her way in, Thomas closed the door and continued on with his own work.
They were the only two in the office.
This time, Gareth didn’t give her the cold shoulder while he was busy with his work. Instead, he lifted
his cold eyes and looked at her with a sharp glance.
He scoffed coldly. “How do you feel after almost selling yourself out for a partnership?”
It was as though Elisa was used to his mockery and ridicule. She curved her lips slightly. “That’s my
business. You don’t have to worry about me, Mr. Wickam.”
Gareth’s face darkened.
Elisa didn’t know that if it wasn’t for Gareth, Philip wouldn’t have agreed to the contract so easily.
Elisa… thought that it was because of Vincent.
Maybe an outsider could see the whole picture.
But Elisa didn’t know. She thought that Gareth loathed her, and he would never do something like that
to help her.
So… she clearly felt like it had nothing to do with Gareth.

have to go with me to Southdale for an inspection of the project tomorrow.”
Elisa’s expression changed slightly. Go on a business trip with him?
She looked at Gareth. “How long will it take?”
Back then, she had indeed promised this person that she would follow up with everything else.
She never thought that Gareth really wanted her to come along.
With Gareth’s intelligence, she basically didn’t need to do anything on this sort of project.
Furthermore, she thought that Gareth would look for someone in his company to do these things. She
never imagined that he would want her to come along.
But this was her job and what she had promised. She was bound to her duty.
However, if it surpassed the time to complete other partnership contracts…
From what Linda said, even if she had official business, she wouldn’t be excused.
“One week.” The icy voice wasn’t going to tolerate any opinions.
Elisa secretly breathed a sigh of relief at once. She nodded her head. “Alright.”
Gareth looked at her coldly and rubbed the bridge of his nose restlessly. He didn’t want to look at Elisa
anymore. He handed her a document and said, “You can go and prepare for it. You may leave.”
