Chapter 426 Don’t Tease Me

Will hesitated for a moment before saying softly, “Gareth is getting engaged next month.”

Elisa’s expression froze. Will looked at her with concern, but she suddenly laughed. “I finally understand why everyone in the office looked at me strangely.”

Her eyes flashed with mockery. She sounded as if she did not care. One could not replace any trace of sadness in her.

Will smiled at her. “So, you’re not sad?”

“Why should I be sad?” Elisa seemed calm and unmoved by the news.

Furthermore, the news did not bring her any disadvantage. She could now speed up her plan. Moreover, Yara would likely contact her soon.

On the other hand, Will chuckled. “It seems you have truly let go. In that case, will you consider giving me a chance?”

Elisa started, “Mr. Darcey…”

“Call me Will.”

Elisa remained silent.

They were not close enough to be on a first-name basis.

Will did not repeat the matter again. Seeing that Elisa was unbothered by the matter, he chuckled and said, “How’s the negotiation for the project between Darcey Group and

Benett Corporation?”

“They are still looking for a way to get you to agree to deal with someone else.” Elisa’s eyes flashed with derision.

Will pursed his lips. “They haven’t given up on that yet?”

“There will be another meeting after two days. They might choose someone to negotiate with you then.”

Previously, Elisa was against working on this project with Will.

But now, she believed she needed to complete this project to enable her to elevate her position faster. Only then could she snatch back Benett Corporation and restore her

father’s hard work. She did not wish to delay any longer.

Moreover, she believed she would eventually regain control over the Benett family.

“Ha…” Will chuckled and said, “What am I to do? You’re the only one that caught my eye and the only one I want to see.”

Elisa closed her eyes and took a deep breath. “Mr. Darcey, can you stop teasing me as if I’m a young lady? I’m a divorcee.”

Will frowned in disagreement. His kind eyes seemed displeased. “To me, you are the most outstanding young lady in the world. Don’t belittle yourself.”

Elisa had nothing to say, so she remained quiet.

Soon, the waiters served the food. Elisa did not say anything but focused on eating.

This was her usual habit.

Will kept taking care of her, speaking to her gently, looking at her kindly, and always behaving gentlemanly.

Elisa thought if he got rid of his womanizing tendencies, his rivalry with Gareth, and his aim for approaching her, he might be an outstanding man.

When a person approaches someone with the aim of gaining something, it renders all their kind actions toward that someone meaningless.

After dinner, Will smiled at Elisa. “Would you like to go for a walk?”

“I’ll sit it out this time. I wish to return home earlier to rest.”

In actuality, she received a message from Yara. Yara was Linda’s assistant, so Elisa had been looking forward to a message from her.

Will nodded. “Sure.”

They got into the car. Will drove to send her home.

Elisa wanted to tell him not to show up as he did again. However, she had said it a few times before, but he never listened. Thus, she felt it was pointless to say anything.

He chatted with her throughout the journey about casual topics. It did not seem like he expected anything from her. Unless he intended it, no one would feel pressure when

interacting with him.

Of course, this only applied to people who understood him. Others would always feel intimidated by Will, no matter what he did.

Soon, they arrived at Elisa’s apartment.

“Thank you.” Elisa was about to get out of the car, but unexpectedly, Will suddenly grabbed her arm.
