No Chance of Remarriage: Get Lost

Chapter 1995

Chapter 1995 Dissatisfaction

The only thing Bella could say was, “Gareth isn’t feeling well and wants you to hav

a look, but he was afraid of disturbing your work. He knows you don’t like people interfering with your decisions and company matters, so how could he possibly stick his nose in it? It’s all my own doing. If you want to blame someone, blame me…”

Bella’s words were half-true. Gareth was indeed feeling a bit unwell, but he had no intention of using this as an excuse to bring Elisa back and disrupt her work.

Upon hearing this, Elisa did not relax her stance but instead furrowed her brows even more.

When she heard Gareth was having health issues, she decided not to persist any further.

All she could do then was advise Bella not to force herself to consume too much alcohol.

“And most importantly… always prioritize safety and avoid getting drunk. Bring along the guys from the project team when socializing.”

With a light-hearted smile, Bella agreed to everything Elisa said, then promptly left the office.

Mike found it quite peculiar to see Bella leaving the company with a group of people before the end of the workday.

When Bella pa*sed by, he stood up and glanced at her.

Despite that, Bella stared straight ahead and left.

Immediately after that, Mike couldn’t help but try to find out where Bella was heading.

A girl who liked Mike couldn’t help but say shyly, “She must be… She must be out socializing, right?”

Mike, with his handsome features and pleasant demeanor, had won the hearts of many young ladies just a few days into his new job.

Mike didn’t really care about that, nor did he deliberately distance himself or get too close to them. He just continued to keep others at arm’s length.

After all, those people might be of use to him in the future…

Mike nodded. Looking as if he had thought of something, he asked, “Does Ms. Wickam often go out for social engagements?”

The young girl blushed and shook her head, unable to articulate her words properly under the gaze of the person she liked.

“No… that’s not it. It’s only occasionally. Most of the time, it’s people from the project team. But this project is quite important, so Ms. Wickam decided to go personally.”

Mike asked again, “Why doesn’t the manager go, then? Why does she make her subordinates do all the hard work?” NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

“Huh?” The young girl probably didn’t expect Mike to say such a thing, let alone harbor such resentment toward Elisa. For a moment, she didn’t know how to respond.

Mike also realized that his remarks were a bit presumptuous, so he casually switched to another topic.

The young girl didn’t pay much attention to this matter.

Mike seemed a bit distracted all afternoon. He wanted to send a message to Bella, but he wasn’t sure how he should do so.

In the end, he had no choice but to let go of that plan. Instead, he casually asked where the social engagement was.

After finding out the address, Mike was weighed down with worries.

Especially after seeing Elisa leave straight after work, he felt even more upset. He muttered to himself, “She gets off work so early and lets those under her work their guts out. Yet, there are still fools willing to do that. I really don’t know what they’re thinking.”

When Elisa left the company, she sneezed several times in a row. She couldn’t shake off the feeling that someone was cursing her behind her back.

When she drove home, it was already around six o’clock. The house was quiet, and the lights were off. Elisa thought that Gareth hadn’t returned yet.

As she pushed the door open, a figure fainted right at the doorstep.

Even Elisa didn’t know where she got the Herculean strength from, but she managed to move the person onto the couch.

All she knew was that, despite Gareth’s slender appearance, he was far from light. He was practically crushing her.
