He was slightly startled. He never thought that Elisa was actually showering.
She was wrapped in a towel that wasn’t very big and barely covered her thighs. There were still drops
of water on her delicate collarbone. Further down, indistinct terrain could be seen.
Gareth’s pupils shrank slightly, and his thin lips were tightly pursed straight. He didn’t say anything.
Elisa’s hands gripped her towel, fearing it would fall. Her brows were furrowed tightly. “What on earth
do you want?”
She moved slightly, and a strand of hair fell to her bosom, blurring her vague terrain. Gareth’s eyes
flashed slightly, and his Adam’s apple bobbed a little. He suddenly couldn’t say a single word, so he
turned and walked out.
Elisa was stupefied.
How puzzling!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe didn’t say anything and was about to close the door to continue her shower when Gareth’s voice
was heard in the next instant. “Come out after you’re done with your shower!”
Elisa’s face darkened. She gritted her teeth and didn’t say anything before she closed the door and
continued her shower.
Once she was done showering and blow-drying her hair, Elisa put on her pajamas and walked out.
She saw that Gareth had also showered, and her brows wrinkled slightly. “Why were you looking for
me?”
Gareth’s gaze fell on her. She was wearing a simple and loose white nightgown. There weren’t many
embellishments, but it seemed particularly elegant on her. Even if it was just a nightgown, it seemed
like it had been designed by a top-rate designer. It was elegant and beautiful.
He looked away and didn’t look at her anymore. “Draw up a plan.”
Gareth’s voice was particularly icy, and he mistreated Elisa.
Elisa’s brows furrowed tightly. She didn’t say anything and waited for the man to continue.
Gareth opened his notebook and put it on the coffee table. “Come here.”
Elisa pursed her lips. She had just showered and didn’t want to sit on the couch.
But from Gareth’s attitude, she had no other way. She frowned and walked to sit next to Gareth before
naturally looking at the screen of his notebook.
Her brows wrinkled slightly. “I’ve studied Phoenix Bridge. I know everything, and no further plan is
needed. I can take you around tomorrow and explain everything.”
Gareth instantly smelled her fragrance after she sat down abruptly. His cold eyes suddenly deepened,
and he was inexplicably restless.
But after a moment, he restrained himself before turning to look at her. “Am I the boss, or are you the
boss?”
Elisa was startled.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe wanted to swear.
She really wanted to curse at him and didn’t hold herself back. She looked at him coldly. “Can a boss
oppress their employees? Moreover, I’ve never been your employee!”
She truly felt that Gareth was finding fault on purpose and wanted to teach her a lesson. She thought
he wanted to look for problems and make her think of ways to solve them. In any case, she sensed that
he didn’t want her to be idle.
Gareth suddenly laughed in his rage. “Since I’m the bankroller now, you should lose the attitude. Benett
Corporation is in a mess. Can you make a comeback soon without this project with me?”
Elisa was stuck.
She took a deep breath and didn’t want to continue this topic with the man any longer. She shut her
eyes and seemed to restrain her emotions before saying in a low voice, “I don’t need your sympathy or
help. This project is mutually beneficial. As for making a comeback, I can do it without you. I might just
have to take a longer time at the very most.”
