Chapter 845
Gareth was in Elisa's house and hadn't left.
Thomas scratched the tip of his nose and felt slightly awkward. How could he tell Gareth what Rachel had said...
If he were too honest, Mr. Wickam would be in a bad mood, which might affect everyone.
But...
If he weren't frank, he would be deceiving Mr. Wickam. Thomas was in a difficult position.
He hesitated for a moment before saying softly, "Mr. Wickam, I just called Ms. Markee. Ms. Benett is at her place
with Ms. Gilo. The three are together, so Ms. Benett should be fine."
Gareth's expression was ice-cold. He didn't say a word.
Thomas had a slightly uncomfortable expression. In an instant, he didn't know how to tell Gareth, but at such a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtstage, so he could only go on. "Ms. Markee said... she will take good care of Ms. Benett and that you don't have to
do it for the time being. They don't want to bother you..."
At that moment, that was all he could say. He couldn't say anymore.
Gareth's face darkened, and he didn't say anything in the end. He ended the call.
How could he not know that Thomas spoke tactfully?
Rachel had always been a frank and outspoken person. It was obvious from her usual sarcasm and fiery words.
Gareth gritted his teeth. This time, he wasn't in the mood to stay at all. He got up and left.
One hour passed.
Elisa was still at Rachel's house.
The three were chatting and joking when Rachel's cell phone suddenly rang again. It was Thomas again.
Rachel was slightly confused. "Why is he calling me again?"
Sheena smiled. "Liz's cell phone is switched off, so he can only call you."
Elisa was dumbstruck.
Rachel immediately smiled. "Alright. He can call me if he wants. I'll answer the call. Thomas' voice sounds pretty
good. I might even be able to flirt with him."
Sheena and Elisa were dumbfounded.
But they knew that Rachel was joking.
They watched as she quickly answered the call, and the other party's voice was heard. "Hello, Ms. Markee. It's
Thomas."
"Mm. I know. Why are you calling again?"
"It's like this... Mr. Wickam knows you're taking care of Ms. Benett, so he's relieved, but he still needs you to pass a
message to Ms. Benett."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRachel was on loudspeaker, so everyone could hear.
Rachel glanced at Elisa and asked in a baffled manner, "What is it?"
"Mr. Wickam said that he won't come again on the condition that you all are together. If no one takes care of Ms.
Benett, Mr. Wickam will return."
Rachel suddenly laughed. "Alright. I'll let her know."
"Okay. Thank you."
"You're welcome. It's nothing."
After that, she ended the call, and her gaze fell on Elisa. There was a smile in the corner of her mouth. "Liz, it
seems like you have to stick with me. Would you like to start now?"
Elisa frowned, and her expression was slightly dark. "There's no need."
Rachel suddenly furrowed her brows. "Even if Gareth didn't pass this message, I should be by your side. Although
you're self-reliant and can do everything by yourself, you'd be a lot more comfortable with me around. Just let me
do everything."
Sheena nodded. "That's right. I'm in as well. Why didn't you tell me that you were injured previously?!"
The warmth in Elisa's heart grew. Why does she need a man? Her best friends are more than enough.
