When Elisa blinked at Will, it was like a secret language between them.

help.
Elisa's business was Will's, and he ought to help her.
Will quickly got himself together and nodded.
"Since you're off to see your cousin, I won't keep you for dinner. But, Ms. Garner, we still need to
discuss our collaboration, so I'd appreciate it if you could stay. Unless, of course, you have other
obligations to attend to?"
Before Linda could utter a word, Will preempted any potential outcomes.
The truth was Linda was more than happy to stick around.
Will's words echoed her own intentions precisely.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, she pretended to be apprehensive and feigned coy, "Oh, no. I don't have any plans, but I feel
a bit embarrassed. I'm worried if I stayed back for dinner would cause any misunderstanding, and it
wouldn't be good."
Will brushed off her concerns, "It's just a meal to discuss our collaboration, and there's no one else
around. Why would there be any misunderstanding?"
Despite Linda's hesitation to consent, she glanced at Will, then at Elisa.
When Elisa blinked at Will, it was like a secret language between them.
Eventually, Elisa chimed in and convinced her, "There's no one here from the Darcey family at the
moment, Melinda. Plus, if Will's mom happens to see you, she'll absolutely adore your charming
demeanor. The project in the western suburbs means so much to you. Stay, have a nice chat with Will,
and let's make a big impression to solidify our position, okay?"
With that, Elisa patted Linda's shoulder.
Elisa's words resonated with Linda, who put on a show of reservation. "Since you guys said so. Alright,
then."
Noticing that Linda took the bait, Elisa waved at Will, "You two enjoy your conversation and meal. I'll
head out first. Give me a shout if you need anything."

Will had the servant prepare a lavish feast since Linda had decided to stay for dinner. They discussed
their collaboration over the meal, with Linda maintaining a hint of restraint.
However, while refilling Will's cup, Linda purposely spilled it all over him.
Water splattered onto Will, and Linda faked frantic and sorry, "Oh, no! I'm sorry, Mr. Darcey. It was an
accident. I was refilling your cup..."
"No worries, I'll go change my shirt first."
Will saw right through her façade and feigned innocence. He chose not to expose her but instead went
along with her charade.
Linda maintained her fake remorse, "Ah, clumsy me! I'm really sorry for the trouble, Mr. Darcey. How

As sneaky and crafty as Linda may be, playing along with reciprocal acts of hospitality and exchanging
meaningful gifts proved to be powerful tools for accomplishing goals.
With a composed, resolute tone, Will smiled and declined, "Don't worry. Just wait here for a moment. I'll
be back soon."
Will wheeled himself away, leaving Linda in his room.
Seeing him leave, she swiftly caught up and offered her assistance, "Mr. Darcey, do you need my help?
I can tell it's not exactly easy for you to do that now. Let me help you upstairs?"
"Hmm... Sure, why not."
Linda anticipated a refusal from Will, but to her surprise, he agreed with a nod.
However, there was no time to dwell on it. Without hesitation, she grasped the handles and pushed Will
upstairs.
Before long, Linda guided Will back to his bedroom. Thoughtfully, she asked again, "Mr. Darcey, which
outfit would you like to wear? Do you need help with it?"
