Chapter 1385 Why Should I Trust You?
"I wonder what Ms. Benett feels about me. But if I were to demonstrate my sincerity, it would be plain
and simple. Nevertheless, Ms. Benett, I believe I deserve you," Eden stated in a condescending
manner.
However, the more he persisted, Elisa felt skeptical of his boastful remarks.
"I have no interest in a man who keeps offering and claiming he's the perfect match for me. Does that
automatically make it true, especially for someone like you, merely claiming to be worthy? Why should I
trust you?" Elisa sneered, then rose to her feet the next moment.
Noticing Elisa's intention to leave, Eden quickly interjected, "You turned down my dinner invitation last
night. I hope you won't reject me again today, Ms. Benett?"
Eden stood up and reached out to halt Elisa's departure, yet her silence spoke volumes through her
disdainful glare.

Eden retracted his hand to respect her choice, but his smile grew even more profound and captivating.
Looking at his condescending manner, Elisa asked indifferently, "Didn't you say you were hungry?"
"It's no fun eating alone," Eden replied.
Of course, Eden was well aware of what Elisa's aloof demeanor indicated, but he couldn't let her get
away again without trying.
Immediately after, Eden beckoned the waiter and said, "I've thought about what you've said, and you
made sense. Let's sit down and continue our conversation over a meal, shall we?"
He directed the invitation to Elisa, wearing a charming smile.
However, Elisa wasn't impressed or swayed by his tenderness or chivalry. On the contrary, his actions
and smooth words evoked a sense of aversion within her.
"No, thank you!" Elisa firmly rejected, standing up and refusing to give Eden any satisfaction or further
attention.

As Elisa turned to leave, Eden's smile vanished in an instant.
This marked the third time Elisa had rejected him!
They said, 'Three strikes and you're out.' Eden's patience with her was wearing thin...
On the other hand, after finishing the call with Jeremy, Gareth returned to find that Elisa and Eden were
gone.
Thomas greeted him without delay, "Mr. Wickam, based on my observation, I can assure you that Ms.
Benett didn't entertain that man. I've already arranged a meal for both of you in the room."
It was evident that Eden's actions had provoked Gareth, leading him to misunderstand Elisa.
Thomas understood that being a competent assistant meant solving work-related issues and playing a
role in his boss's love life as a mediator.
Considering Gareth's volatile temperament, Thomas knew that completing tasks efficiently and with
enjoyment was only possible when his boss was in a good mood. And it was evident to Thomas that

Elisa had the power to influence Mr. Wickam's mood!
Gareth and the waiter entered the room one after the other. As Gareth swiped the room card and
stepped in, Elisa sat up from the sofa.
"Didn't you say you don't want to eat?" Elisa said, and the next second, he approached her.
"Well, I can't risk poisoning myself," Gareth replied, stepping closer to her.
Elisa smiled coldly and continued, "Serves you right then."
"Don't I have you here? Or are you contemplating going with Eden...?" Gareth responded,
understanding that Elisa was purposely teasing him. Nevertheless, he remained composed, showing
no signs of being bothered.
However, his expression turned grave as memories of Eden's inciting and provocative attempts
replayed in his mind.
Meanwhile, Elisa chuckled and deliberately taunted Gareth, "Even if something is going on between
me and Eden, it doesn't concern you, does it, Mr. Wickam?"
Gareth's expression turned resolute and intense at Elisa's provocation. He was ready to respond to her
when a knocking sound came from outside the door, interrupting their conversation.
