Chapter 370 A Nuisance with Evil Intentions
Elisa’s words jolted Gareth back to his senses. What the hell am I doing?!
At once, he furrowed his brows as his face darkened. God knew how upset and frustrated he was!
He closed his eyes and remained silent while leaning against the car seat.
Only then did Elisa heave a sigh of relief. Given how furious Gareth was just now, she didn’t know what horrible actions he might take.
Just then, Elisa’s phone started vibrating. Upon glancing at the incoming caller ID, she picked up the call without bothering with Gareth.
Before she could say anything, a loud voice emerged from the other end of the line.
“Hey Elisa, are you okay? My dad freaking summoned me yesterday, and I just regained my freedom and was made aware that you fell into the water. Oh my goodness! What exactly happened?!”
Gareth frowned. He was able to keep his cool upon discovering that the caller was a female, so he didn’t interrupt Elisa, and the atmosphere in the car finally eased up.
Elisa asked worriedly, “What did your dad do to you?”
“It’s nothing; just the same old thing. No matter what, he’s my father. He can’t possibly kill me. What about you? Did you get any injuries or catch a cold?”
Since Rachel had no intention of elaborating on her matter, Elisa didn’t probe further. “I’m fine. All is good.” She answered in a normal tone.
Rachel was relieved to hear it. “Glad to know. By the way, I saw Gareth carry you out in his arms. What’s going on between the two of you?”
Gareth suddenly opened his deep-set eyes, awaiting Elisa’s answer.
“Nothing is going on.”
“What do you mean by that?! He even carried you! Oh my gosh! Aren’t you guys divorced already? Didn’t you recently say that he’s a nuisance? Why are you still meeting him?”
At once, the atmosphere in the car became intense. Thomas was so shocked that he almost stepped on the brake pad.
There was a slight change in Elisa’s expression as she subconsciously cast a glance at Gareth to see his eyes filled with murderous intent.
She quickly averted her gaze and blurted, “I still have some stuff to attend to. See you.”
However, Rachel didn’t buy Elisa’s words – she knew Elisa was trying to avoid her questions, so she immediately squealed, “Hey, don’t you hang up the call! Come on, we’re sisters!”
Elisa could sense that Rachel was indeed upset, so she couldn’t hang up the call.
She subtly pressed the volume key to decrease the volume, but Rachel raised her voice even more!
“Elisa! What on earth is wrong with you today? Not only did you go on a business trip with him, but you also kept appearing with him in public. This is going to damage your reputation! I’m worried that Gareth’s fans will sabotage you later.”
“Okay, I’ll be more mindful next time.”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
The moment she said that Elisa could sense a fierce glare on her face.
“When are you coming back?”
“When work is done.”
“Alright, be careful then. I somehow feel that he’s approaching you with evil intentions. Besides…”
Elisa’s eyelids twitched as she could clearly perceive the deadly glare from Gareth. She inhaled and quickly interrupted Rachel. “Hey Rach, I’m out with Gareth for some work now. I’ll call you back.”
Before Rachel could respond, Elisa instantly ended the call and put her phone back into her bag, pretending as if nothing had happened.
Gareth stared daggers at her and spat through gritted teeth, “A nuisance with evil intentions?”
