With Jessie’s icy gaze, the elder complained intelligibly in the back seat.
Norman soon became silent when he realized his futile attempt to correct the situation.
Jessie ignored him and focused on driving them back to the company.
Thankfully, everyone in the company continued to collaborate despite the 10% change. Gareth decided the amount
with faith in Elisa’s reliable strategy. The staff of the company together breathed a sigh of relief over the new plan.
The new decree suggests that the former business arrangement with Wickam’s is still in place.
After discussion, Mr. Markee pulled out his phone to provide Elisa with the news.
Rachel announced her suspicions, “Aren’t the demands from the Benett Group quite specific? Why did they agree?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElisa shrugged, “Are you sure the Benett Group guessed correctly?”
With doubts in her eyes, Rachel glanced at Elisa uneasily, “What do you mean?”
The woman bit her lip, “Gareth trusts in my plan. They have their own business, but it can take some time until the
necessary technology is available.” Elisa conceded, “At least according to Mr. Markee, we have the high ground.
Everyone in the group knows this, but Norman’s group is powerless to do anything about it.”
Rachel was still confused. “Correct, but what does their speculation have to do with this?”
Elisa grinned. She tapped on Rachel’s forehead, “Use your brain, love. It’s established that Gareth has a leash over
the Benett’s, but someone else steers the ship.” She patted her hand, “We will hear from Mrs. Wickam over the
matter. There are hidden terms that will be revealed.”
Rachel’s eyes widened, “Oh! Now I get it. That Mrs. Wickam is crafty.”
“Supply and demand. How will the world function without it?” Elisa grinned.
Her confidante smirked, “Smart-ass! But then again, Aunt Rose should be able to discern the family’s next course of
action. Mrs. Wickam knows this, right?”
Elisa sighed, “It’s hard to figure out the next step since they know Mrs. Wickam is pulling the strings. They will find
some way to gain back her good graces.”
Rachel popped a gum in her mouth, “Well, if I were you, I would find your illusive spy.” She bit her lip, “Gareth
knowing what we know is dangerous.”
“We’ll find that snitch soon enough.”
She nodded, “You’ve gained some power, but life would be easier if there were no big honcho after your head. You
ever think of that?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmElisa mumbled, “Perhaps you can accompany me to see someone right now.”
“Huh? Who?”
…
The Mental hospital.
Elisa and Rachel drove for an hour and a half before reaching the isolated area.
“Linda.” Rachel whispered, “It’s her. I guess Linda can call it home at this point.”
Elisa conceded, “Let’s go in.”
Rachel eyed her, “Explain to me why you want to visit this tramp? You have the privilege of not seeing her.” Her
companion groaned, “Well? Are you gaining evidence of something? Meeting her will be a guaranteed show of a
mad woman. And we both know she is a terrible actress.”
