NovelAppElisa was still sullen because of the work trip to Phoenix Bridge with Gareth.
Though it was in Bayswe, it was quite sdistance away. Since they cfrom the opposite end of the city, traveling to Phoenix Bridge was akin to going to another city.
Hence, if they traveled there in the afternoon, they wouldn't have enough tto survey the sites. Therefore, it was likely they had to stay the night.
The thought of it frustrated Elisa.

This project, arranged by Gareth, was crucial to her.
Everyone in the meeting room becsilent. Sof the women there started to feel envious of her. How is she so lucky? She gets to marry Mr. Wickam, and even after their divorce, he still courts her. They have so much tto spend with each other alone. Ah, how | wish to be in her shoes! Many wanted to sigh out loud but didn’t dare to do so. It was a suicidal attempt — Gareth could fire them anytif he were unhappy about it.
The women could only keep their feelings for him a secret and watch over their boss from a distance, just like they would with a celebrity crush.
Gareth left without any further comments.
“You may leave now,” Thomas announced, leaving everyone baffled.
Is the meeting ending early today? It's so quick! They thought incredulously.
As soon as Elisa and Gareth left the room, someone asked quietly, unable to hold themselves back. “Mr. Wickam didn’t say much at all. Instead, Ms. Benett was driving the meeting just now. Is he giving her the opportunity to lead?” Such an explanation didn't occur to most people. They were still upset about the situation, but a look of understanding suddenly dawned on their face.
A male employee straightened his tie and said, “Gosh! | didn’t think of it this way! That was the case after all!” The rest of the group left thoughtfully, though without any further comments.
They didn’t dare to gossip about it in the meeting room and left with their belongings.

Sof them spread the rumors just because they liked gossiping. Meanwhile, others used it to warn people in their department not to follow in the footsteps of the previous woman who got fired from the human resources department.
Everyone got back to work. When it was tfor lunch, Thomas called Elisa to tell her that it was tto leave and that she could walk to the basement parking lot.
She didn’t reply to him, but her vexation increased.
When she arrived at the basement, she saw Thomas and Gareth in front of her and quickly caught up to them.
Then, Thomas opened the car door for her. “Ms. Benett, welcome.” She ignored him purposefully out of annoyance, not showing any signs of getting into the car.
