Chapter 446"That's not necessarily true.I could have chatted away with you if you were an ordinary person.But you
aren't — you're Iris, the elite lawyer.What if you take my words and turn them into evidence that is
advantageous to yourself?"
Tongue-tied, Elisa wore a rueful smile.She knew Sean would be guarding against her from now on.She
sighed in exasperation and said, "It seems like you won't trust me no matter what I say."
Sean said straightforwardly, "Stop beating around the bush and spit your motive out.I won't eat my
words about the five meals that I promised to treat you."
Elisa sighed and didn't explain it immediately.
Instead, she hummed, "There's no need to hurry.Let's continue chatting."
"Girl, you're going to make me displeased by doing so."
Perceiving that Sean had started to lose his patience and was telling the truth, Elisa shook her head
and said, "I'd like to present to you the proposal first.If you don't agree to proceed with it, I'll stop
disturbing you.But since you've promised to treat me to five meals, you've already given me a
chance.Am I right?"
Sean did not answer.
Elisa continued with a smile, "Everyone has a family and ambition.Family is the root of one person.I
know you hate industries that target families as their main customers, but these areas are currently not
saturated yet, and they still have the potential to be developed"
Sean narrowed his eyes."Since you know I dislike being involved in projects like this, and you know how stubborn I am, why did
you still come to find me? Do you think you can persuade me?"
"It's not that.You refuse to do proposals like this not because you dislike them, but because you care
about them too much.You're afraid that the outcome would disappoint the public and cause the
meaning of home to be lost."
Meanwhile, since Linda and Gareth entered another private room, Gareth had not said anything.
After ordering the food, he sat in his seat and scrolled through his phone.
On the other hand, Linda did not touch her phone because she didn't want to miss any second she
could spend with Gareth.
However, Gareth had no intention of talking to her at all.
Did he really ask me out just to have dinner with me? At that moment, Linda was already certain that
Gareth had brought her out with another motive.
She inhaled deeply and couldn't help asking, "Garry, you still haven't gotten over Elisa, have you?"
Gareth shot a glare at her with his eyes filled with displeasure.
"Linda, I don't wish to hear something like that from you again’ Linda's heart jolted - Gareth had never
warned her in such a stern manner.He...
Linda took a deep breath to contain her frustration and resentment that couldn't be spoken.
Given the current situation, she didn’t know how to express her feelings at all! Just as she was thinking
about how to ask Gareth again, the server knocked on the door.Linda inhaled and put on a smile before saying, "Come in."
Gareth continued to remain silent as he was in a terrible mood.
Elisa didn't give any response throughout the scene in the lift.
She didn't care even when Linda held my arm.
Ha! What a heartless woman.
noveldramaShe just ditched me after using me! Gareth tried to suppress his burning rage as he could flare up at
any time.
His mood had been fluctuating these few days, which caused the employees in his company to be
extra vigilant as they didn’t want to irritate him.
