A mischievous idea crossed her mind.
‘Sorry, all spots are filled." After a brief silence, when Elisa thought there might be no response, Gareth messaged her.

Gareth smirked, "Fooling around so much, isn't he afraid his wife will find out?" Elisa pondered momentarily before replying, "Paul's wife seems devoted to him.
