Chapter 104 Everyone Would Be Happy Rachel giggled. “I'm with Elisa right now. We went shopping this afternoon, and | came over for dinner after that. Are you outside?” “Yeah. I'm outside. | just had a fight with my father. How annoying.” “Then come over to Elisa's place. Elisa is cooking. It smells really good!” “Elisa's cooking?” Sheena sounded delighted.
“Yes! Come now! I'll send you the address.” Rachel logged into her WeChat account.

After Rachel sent Sheena the address, she hesitated. “Elisa, since the three of us are gathering, should we invite Carle over too?” Elisa hesitated.
Rachel noticed and quickly continued, “Don’t be too stressed about it. Carle is not pressuring you either. Both of you are still friends. As long as you don't agree to it, he will not cross the line. Moreover, Carle is a good person. Are you going to give up your friendship just because of that?” “Of course not.” Elisa paused and answered. “You call him then. Tell him I invited him over.” “Alright!” Immediately afterwards, Rachel made the call.
Carle was thrilled to receive the invitation. He left for their place right away.
At this moment, Sheena and Carle were on their way to Elisa's place.
Rachel continued to help Elisa out in the kitchen. She smiled. “By the way, Carle was so agitated these two days that | seem to spot some white hair growing on of his head.” Elisa was puzzled. “What's wrong?” Rachel spoke while she washed the vegetables. “I heard this from Sheen since they are quite close; Chairman Semoa plans to hand the company over to Carle, but was turned down by the shareholders. They want him to secure an almost impossible contract. The only way to secure this contract is to get first in a car race. If he does not manage to do this, it would be hard for him to take over the company.” “A car race?” Elisa's hands trembled.

That is why the shareholders are against him taking the CEO's seat. His father let him take up this contract too because he wanted Carle to succeed. But if he doesn't...” Elisa paused for a moment. Then she continued cutting the vegetables.
Rachel raised her eyes and looked at Elisa. “Elisa, do you want to help him?" “Yes.” Elisa did not even think before answering. Carle was her best friend. He took care of her when they were in school. But she had neglected all of her friends when she got married and devoted herself to being a full-time wife.
She felt guilty for that.
Elisa, Rachel, Sheena and Carle were good friends since young. They were all from reputable families and their families knew each other.
But Rachel had some arguments with her family, so she refused to return to the Markee family since.
Rachel could not help but chuckle. “You have always been a loyal friend.” Elisa raised her eyebrows. “Didn’t you tell me this because you wanted me to help him?” “Haha...” Rachel laughed softly. “I just didn’t want both of you to become more distanced.” The truth was, Rachel had secretly wished that Elisa and Carle could be an item.
Carle was handsome and rich. He was capable too. If the both of them got together, everyone would be happy for them!
