Elisa looked away but nodded. Will chuckled, “I can get you in touch with him. He may be eccentric, but he is
someone who values friendships. I am friends with him, but the most I can do is introduce you to him. I can’t force
him to do anything more than that.”
Elisa shook her head. “I don’t need your help. I’ll look for him on my own. I’ve met him before.”
Will raised an eyebrow but didn’t protest. “Just remember one thing. He is different from what the rumors say.”
In other words, he wasn’t gay.
Brandon Simmons was the issue Anita had Elisa fix when they were in talks for a job.
Brandon had set his eye on Anita’s son. Rumors floating around about Brandon being homosexual and maybe even
a pedophile. It was a worrisome time for Anita. Unfortunately for her, Brandon wasn’t someone easily handled.

In the end, Elisa was the one who took care of it for her. Anita was extremely grateful for her help.
Elisa met Will’s eyes and said, “Thank you for this.”
“Helping you uncover the truth is also a step forward in your need for vengeance. Don’t you think you owe me
more than a thank you? Maybe something more physical?”
She stared at him wordlessly.
Will sighed exasperatedly. “I knew you’d reject me.”
Will knew what to say to lighten the mood to prevent any awkwardness and how to word things to not sound like he
was harassing her.
He always put Elisa in a tight spot, but he went about it in a way that she did not find him irritating and didn’t feel
any pressure from him.
Elisa saved the file and slipped her phone back into her bag.
Will leaned back against his chair. His legs were crossed, and so were his arms. He stared deep into Elisa’s eyes,
“So, what do you plan on doing next?”
“Look for him.”
“And after that?”
“I’ll decide after finding out the truth.” She had a feeling Brandon knew much more than any of them did. But
maybe he had promised her father to not tell her the truth… That was probably why so much was being kept from
her.
Will nodded. “Be careful when you meet him. Maybe it’ll be better for me to introduce you? That way, I can go with
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyou.”
Elisa shook her head. “No.”
This was about her father. Elisa suspected that there was more than what met the eye regarding Brandon and her
father. It almost felt as if Brandon saw her father as his own. If this were the case, Will would be considered an
outsider. They wouldn’t be able to speak freely with him around.
Will stayed quiet at her insistence. Soon after, a waitress arrived with their food.
Elisa was equally as quiet. They shared the meal in peaceful silence.
However…
Meanwhile, somewhere else wasn’t as peaceful. In fact, there might even be a hint of gunpowder in the air.
Rachel had just arrived home from work. She stepping out of the elevator and found a snot stain waiting by their
door!
Rachel’s mood instantly soured. “What are you doing here?” She glared at him warily.
Vincent grinned at her. “I’m here to see you, of course. Who else would want a tomboy like you? My mother made
me promise to watch over you.”
