Chapter 1794 Who Is He
Elisa explained to Will honestly. "I'll most likely be busy with the mall. I have lots of work piled up, so I won't have the time to think about other things. Also, didn't you ask me to send in my designs?"
Elisa's nose scrunched up when she mentioned the design she had to work on.
She had forgotten to bring her designs for Will.
Will couldn't help but chuckle when he saw her confused expression. "Didn't you bring your designs to me last time? I think they're great, but you insisted on perfecting them!"
Linda stood by the side, listening quietly.
She finally understood that Elisa was a completely different person after her divorce from Gareth. She was now more confident and self-assured and had revealed many hidden charms that had previously been obscured.
Elisa nodded, her lips curling up into a warm smile. "I have to make sure that the best quality of work is presented if I want to continue our partnership. When is your press conference?"
Linda's eyes lit up, and her curiosity was aroused when she heard "press conference."
She turned to Elisa and asked in her raspy voice, "Elisa, are you referring to the press conference for the new line of clothing?"
"Yes," Elisa replied, nodding her head.
She didn't expect Linda to be so intrigued by her conversation with Will.
Elisa didn't mind it at all. Linda seemed interested, so Elisa had an idea. If Linda was this interested in the press conference, then during the event…
Linda nodded incessantly and asked, "Elisa, could I join the press conference with you?"
Linda's voice was sweet and gentle but also laced with desperation. Her pitiful expression reminded Elisa of the past.
Elisa almost lost her cool, but she quickly pulled herself together.
She smiled and replied, "Sure."
Will continued, "The press conference will be held in a week. I'll send someone to pick both of you up that day. Are you having your lunch here?"
"I won't be staying."
"I don't think that's appropriate."
Elisa and Linda spoke almost simultaneously. Elisa's reluctance to stay was evident, and Linda's refusal confirmed her true feelings.
Will's gaze was fixed on Elisa. He didn't even look at Linda.
Will tried to persuade Elisa to stay, even though she had refused. "My mom isn't here today. What's wrong with staying for lunch after working all day?"
Will was trying to keep Elisa away from Gareth, even for a couple of minutes.
Elisa shook her head and explained, "It's not about your mom. Gareth called me just now and told me that a relative is here. I have to go and meet up with her."
"A relative?" Linda inquired, her voice filled with disbelief.
Will's face darkened with concern. "What does Gareth's cousin have to do with you? Who is he to involve you with the people around him?"
It was too late by the time Will had blurted out his thoughts, his regret palpable on his face.
Who was he to say such things to Elisa? She was perfectly capable of making her own decisions.
Elisa knew Will was only looking out for her, but she was excited to meet Bella.
She shook her head and smiled gently. "Gareth didn't set this up. I would have met Bella even if he hadn't told me about her." © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
"Melinda, why don't you stay and have lunch with Will? I'm sure you two have much to discuss about the Western Suburbs project."
