The waiter started serving the dishes pre-ordered by Thomas, so they could start the meal immediately.
After he had finished parking, he froze when he saw their seating arrangement.
Knowing Gareth well, he knew that he was unwelcome there.
However, just as he was hesitating, Vincent said warmly, as though he didn’t understand the situation,
“Come over, Thomas! We are going to leave as soon as we finish eating. There isn’t a lot of time!”
Thomas was speechless upon hearing that. Forget the site visit – we are going to take a rest as soon
as we arrive. It’s not urgent at all. He clearly wants me to be the third-wheeler.
Neither Gareth nor Elisa commented on that.
Thomas gritted his teeth and walked toward them unwillingly. Meanwhile, Vincent smiled at Gareth
tauntingly. Just tell us that you want to sit next to her. You brought me here today just to sit together

with her in the car, didn’t you?
Thomas felt immense pressure while walking toward them. When he finally sat down, he suddenly felt
uneasy.
Throughout the course of their meal, he couldn’t focus on the taste of the food. He was all too aware of
the sheer coldness permeating the air from Gareth’s presence.
Elisa treated the entire situation nonchalantly and ate the food as usual.
After finishing, she placed her cutlery down.
At the same time, Thomas had no appetite and followed suit.
Vincent glanced at both of them. “You guys are too fast!”
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Gareth also placed his cutlery down and stared at him icily.

You’d better finish your food quickly too, his gaze seemed to say
Vincent was delighted to see that. He’s starting to take his anger out on us now because of Elisa.
At that moment, Gareth commanded, “Get the car.”
Vincent’s lips twitched. “Hey, I’m still eating here!”
Gareth’s cold stare swept past him. “Aren’t you going to fetch someone?”
Vincent’s face instantly darkened. He wanted to crack more jokes but was at a loss for words.
Elisa showed no interest in their conversation whatsoever. She got up with Thomas and said, “I’ll follow
you.”
Thomas was put on a spot, so he left without another word.
I should have left immediately just now. In that case, Elisa has no reason to follow me. Argh, life is so
difficult! Being Mr. Wickam’s assistant is even more so!
Vincent looked at Gareth after they left. “To be honest, I already asked Thomas about the deal between

you and Elisa. The misunderstandings between you two have been around for more than several
years. Shouldn’t you lower your pride now that you want her back?”
Gareth frowned and glared at him frostily.
Vincent placed his hands on Gareth’s shoulders and squeezed them as though he wanted to calm him
down. “I don’t care if you like her or think she’s a suitable match. The result will be the same,
nonetheless. Judging from your pride and arrogance, do you think she will reconcile with you? Ha, in
your dreams!”
The veins on Gareth’s neck grew visibly more prominent. “Are you done?”
“Of course, I’m not done. I–”
Before he could continue, Gareth’s mocking voice rang. “You better focus on Rachel first before
complaining about me.”
