No Chance Of Remarriage: Get Lost Chapter 18

Chapter 18 Success for Linda Benett

Will chuckled, “Naturally. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t even think of pursuing this lawsuit.”

But he wasn’t referring to this lawsuit in particular.

Of course, Elisa immediately understood what he meant. She put down her cup and avoided looking at him, “If it weren’t for this lawsuit and banquet, we wouldn’t be working together. Don’t worry, Mr. Darcey.”

Will’s eyes widened in surprise. She wouldn’t say this with such firmness if she wasn’t certain about it. She obviously didn’t want to do this. If he hadn’t looked for her, her plan with Gareth would be for naught.

“I can tell you straight up that we won’t work together after this lawsuit ends.”

Elisa picked up her chopsticks and continued eating. Obviously ignoring Will.

Will watched her, waiting for a crack in her act. He chuckled, “As I expect of the enigmatic, Miss Iris. I never knew who Elisa Benett was. The person I met and the person who I hope to work together with is none other than Iris.”

Elisa arched an eyebrow at him and stayed quiet.

He could say whatever he wanted, and she would not care because she felt nothing for him.

Besides, she had felt all the sadness a person could feel in the span of three years for one man. She had spent it all and would never feel this way again. She will live her best life.

…

Gareth started to chain smoke when he returned to his room. Previously, out of respect for Linda, he would make a point to not smoke around her, but today… It was the furthest from his mind.

Linda would consider herself a pretty calm person, but right now, she started to feel flustered. She could feel that Gareth was concerned with Elisa.

Linda took a deep breath. Somehow, she managed to choke on it and coughed.

Gareth glanced at her and wordlessly snuffed out the cigarette.

Linda hurriedly interjected, “I’m fine, Gareth. I just choked a little. It wasn’t because of your smoking. Go ahead. Don’t mind me.”

Gareth suddenly recalled a clear voice saying, “Smoking is bad for you! Babe, you should quit now before you become addicted to it.”

Gareth suddenly felt irritated.

Linda realized only after she had spoken that she probably shouldn’t have said anything. The best thing she could do at that moment was to stay silent. Right now, he could blow up at anyone who irritated him.

The room became quiet once more.

The more Gareth thought about it, the more frustrated he felt. He shot to his feet. “Eat without me. I’ll have my assistant send you home later.”

He then left abruptly.

Linda’s chest tightened!

Damn that Elisa! She had a hold on him now!

She tried to do some damage control. “Gareth, I’m not hungry. Let’s go together.”

Linda stood up and ran after Gareth, but…

“Ahh!!”

Gareth turned and just managed to see her trip over a chair and fell onto the ground. Her face twisted in pain!

His eyes widened and awareness hit him! This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

He hurried forward and helped her up onto the chair. He felt guilty when he saw her banged up knees and arms. “Where did you hurt yourself? Are you okay?”

Linda finally saw that he had regained the worry he had for her before. She breathed out a sigh of relief. Shaking her head, she chuckled. “I was just clumsy. Go ahead if you have somewhere to be. Don’t worry about me.”

“I’m taking you to the hospital.”

Linda grabbed his hand as he reached out to help her up, “Gareth, truly. I’m fine…”

“No! You’re not fully recovered. We need to get you checked up.”

Ignoring what Linda had to say, he picked her up in his arms and walked out.

Linda smiled to herself.

However, they bumped into Will and Elisa when they were leaving.
