Chapter 295 Why Didn’t Benett Corporation Snatch It?
The irony was not lost on Elisa. In the past, she would call Gareth countless times to find
out if he would be home for dinner.
And this time, she would also need to call him to ask if he was free for a meal.
Elisa hesitated before finally picking up her phone to call Gareth’s assistant.
Thomas was surprised to see Elisa calling.
Even though Mr. Wickam and her were divorced, he had not erased her number.
Thomas suspected that it was because Mr. Wickam was still in denial regarding their
relationship.
He did not dare to keep her waiting for long and immediately answered the call.
“Miss Benett?”
Elisa’s gentle voice was heard. “Thomas, I’m Elisa Benett calling from the marketing
department. There have been some amendments made on the wedding planning
project. Do you know when he’ll be free to talk about it? Why not catch up over a meal?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThomas was surprised. The truth was, Mr. Wickam was free that night.
Enter title…
But he kept that to himself. Instead, he said, “Mr. Wickam is in a meeting right now. I’ll let
him know as soon as he’s done.”
“Okay.”
They both hung up.
Elisa turned to Kira, “Can I ask Ms. Francis for some new assignments to work on?”
Kira assumed Elisa meant that she would not be able to complete this project. “Even if
you ask her for some new ones, I highly doubt that they would be any easier than this
one…” She replied sympathetically.
Elisa grinned at her. “Oh, I know. But what if Mr. Wickam keeps the project from
progressing? I shouldn’t just wait and do nothing.”
Kira nodded in agreement. She reorganized the assignments she had in hand and said,
“I’m just about to go look for Ms. Francis. I’ll talk to her on your behalf. Who knows, she
might go easy on you if I ask.”
Elisa nodded her thanks.
Half an hour later.
Kira came back with four projects in hand.
She looked at Elisa sheepishly. “Ms. Benett, Ms. Francis says that on top of the one you
have right now, this makes five. The rest will come after you’ve completed these five.”
There was no rebuttal from Elisa. “Thank you.” Was her simple reply as she took the files
from Kira.
Kira felt conflicted. “I think Ms. Francis might have something against you. Ms. Benett, I
think you should take a look at what’s in these files.”
“You can call me Elisa.” Elisa gently encouraged as she opened one of the files.
“Oh sure!” Kira was pleasantly surprised, but she asked worriedly, “Hey… I don’t know if
you’ll be able to stay in the company but Elisa, I’ve grown to like you! In other words, I’ve
become your fan!”
Elisa couldn’t help but burst out in laughter. She also had a glimpse of the second
project she had been given.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis was a project they had in collaboration with the Darcey Group. From the looks of it,
this was going to be difficult. Even more so compared to the one with Wickam Group.
She may be friends with Will, but that does not guarantee anything.
This was risky for all parties involved. Billions of dollars have already been invested into
this project, and they needed Darcey Group to fork up some more. It’ll be amazing if it
was successful, but failure would cost them everything.
Besides, it was a lot of pressure for any company to be asked to just move around
billions of dollars.
Elisa laughed in outrage. Why didn’t Benett Corporation snatch it up from the start?
Everything was done for them. They had no part of the investment, and yet they wanted
a portion of the profits?
Elisa shut her eyes before moving on to the next file.
This was also a collaboration project with another well-known company. They were just
blatantly after their money, going for projects that were pretty much done.
Elisa frowned and turned to Kira. “Have you seen these?”
