NovelAppChapter 115 The Right Decision Linda's heart brimmed with joy and anticipation. This was her first-time cooking a meal for Gareth. He'd like it, won't he? Thinking about this, she smiled to herself as a wave of relief washed over her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUpon seeing her arrival, the front receptionist’s eyes widened in surprise. Linda's feud with Elisa was no secret. In fact, it was such a sensational gossip that everyone in the company knew of it and her identity. The front desk lady hurriedly stood up and greeted her, “Ms. Benett, are you here for Mr. Wickam?” “Yes, I've already informed him about my arrival, so no need to mind me.” Linda spoke with an air of superiority that made her very much like a mistress of the Wickam household. It stunned the receptionist for a moment. “Okay, please come in,” she spoke quickly, not wanting to offend her.
With a polite nod, Linda invited herself in gracefully. The receptionist couldn't help but look at her with envy. After all, who wouldn't? Linda Benett was an attractive woman with a good figure, a wealthy background, and Mr. Wickam's savior— everything it took to be a good wife for the Wickam family.
The receptionist sighed. However, what she didn’t know was that Linda never notified Gareth of her arrival. Linda knew that Gareth would've let her in regardless, but she wanted to give him a surprise.
Soon, the elevator dinged, and Linda reached the top floor of the company. Looking around the place, she subconsciously thought of the Benett family’s company... She had always felt that there was a jarring difference between the two groups. It was exactly how she felt when she first came into the Benett family. The style, luxury, and atmosphere was something she would've never expected to experience in her life.

Oh, how far had she come since then. Benett Group, which was initially so out of reach, was right at her fingertips. She had successfully become the only daughter of the Benett family while Elisa was made an outcast.
Not to mention, as the future Mrs. Wickam of the company, she had already made quite a name for herself. So much that many have begun trying to find connections through her.
Linda soon reached Gareth's office and knocked on the door. Taking a deep breath, she cleared her throat and cooed in a sweet voice, “Garry, are you in there?” But there was no response. Linda frowned in concern. Work started hours ago so why isn’t he in yet? Did something happen? Just before she could say another word, she heard footsteps in the corridor. She turned her head, expecting to see Gareth but was instead greeted by his assistant, Thomas. Her smile instantly faded into a frown. “Assistant May, is Garry not here?” “Ms. Benett.” Thomas nodded politely. “Mr. Wickam is in a meeting. You may have to wait awhile.” Linda nodded in understanding. “Then I'll wait for him in his office.” She didn’t miss the way his face froze almost imperceptibly. Blinking, she asked, “Is something the wrong?” Thomas quickly regained his senses and smiled. “It's nothing, please come in. Mr. Wickam has another hour left in his meeting.” “Okay.” Linda smiled back gracefully and walked through the door that Thomas held open, looking around subconsciously. Since the beginning of her plan, she had been pretending to be in a bed-ridden vegetative state. Even after her recovery, the only time she could contact Gareth was outside the building. But alas, she was finally able to enter his office! Behind her, Thomas shut the door with a troubled expression, unsure of whether letting her into Gareth’s office was the right decision.
Between Linda's excitement and Thomas’ internal torment. Gareth’s meeting finally came to an end.
