Elisa could hear the sarcasm in his words. She pursed her lips. She wanted to ask him to leave right away. But she remembered that James was present. It would be humiliating for Gareth if she told him to leave now. She did not want to get on the wrong side of him.

Elisa shook her head and smiled. “You don’t need to take the trouble, Uncle James. I’m perfectly fine. I will go back to work soon.”

James sighed. But he knew that he couldn’t stay here any longer. He smiled and nodded, “Then I shall leave. Nice meeting you, Mr. Wickam.”
