Chapter 99 Evading the Question Dust to dust, ashes to ashes. She decided not to associate with people of influence anymore and she was even less keen to be caught between Will Darcey and Gareth Wickam.
Will sighed. “Il won't make trouble for you, and | won't force you to go against Gareth. Can't we be friends?” Elisa drew a tight smile. “We’re not in the same social circle.” She knew that Will wanted to give her a car, but she was adamant to reject him.
After a moment of silence, Will uttered a word that Elisa never thought he would. “Elisa,” he whispered, but Elisa was unconcerned.

Elisa leaned back into the car seat to rest her mind. She arrived at the rendezvous point half an hour later and called Rachel.
“I'm here, Elisa! Are you here?” “I just arrived as well. Where are you?” “I'm at... | see you! Stay there!” Rachel exclaimed as she hung up the call.
Hearing Rachel's words, Elisa glanced around to look for her friend, only to see Rachel dashing towards her with a white bag slung over her shoulder.
When Rachel saw Elisa's casual tiffany blue one-piece dress, she sighed with envy. “You are gorgeous! Why do you look good in everything? And did you know that tiffany blue matches you beautifully! You look like Cinderella!” Elisa glanced at Rachel's flowery dress and giggled. “You must be some fairy princess then!” Rachel let out a guffaw as she hooked her arm through Elisa's arm. “Which showroom would you like to browse through?” The street was filled with Car Sales, Service, Spare parts and Surveys shops of all car brands, but Rachel had an opinion about cars.
“I know that you're trying to distance yourself from Darcey and Wickam Groups, but their cars are of the highest quality.” “Let's go to Wickam Group's showroom.” Elisa did not mind purchasing a car from either group — her hatred for Gareth would not dissuade her from buying a car from them. She won't be meeting them at a retail store anyways.
Furthermore, Gareth was not the only one who would profit from the business — Gareth’s grandparents would profit from the business too! The car that she would buy would not be luxurious too.
“Let's go to Wickams. Surely, you'd like to profit your own people, right?” Rachel winked at Elisa naughtily.

A sales assistant approached them with a smile that faltered for a short second before returning to her face when she saw Elisa.
“Good day, Miss Benett. How may | help you?” She would have to pay up, now that she was no longer part of the family.
“Get me a BMW.” Elisa uttered.
Why does she want a BMW? Did she lose so much that she could only afford that type of car? The sales assistant wondered.
However, she did not hesitate as she led them towards the car she had in mind. “Sure! Come with me!” “Are you sure you want a BMW? That's kind of below your standards, isn't it?” Rachel gasped, but Elisa evaded the question.
“I like BMWs." “Okay. | understand.” Rachel nodded as she followed the sales assistant with Elisa by her side.
