No Chance of Remarriage: Get Lost

"Are you sure? I seem to remember seeing you at a casino the other day. Besides, I'm sure you've seen plenty of people playing these games, even if you've never played them yourself." Elisa did not believe Nicole one bit, and she wasn't going to let it go that easily.

Gareth was observing them while they were talking.

Nicole was trying to evade Elisa's questioning while Elisa persisted.

He noticed Thomas was watching them closely too. Their eyes met, and Thomas quickly turned away to avoid his gaze.

Gareth immediately understood why Nicole was there and why Elisa had left Eden to come to talk to them.

Gareth's eyes were like daggers.

Thomas could feel Gareth's eyes on him. He felt his hair stand on end wherever Gareth's eyes landed on him. His gaze was like laser beams, burning a path on his skin. Thomas broke out in a cold sweat.

He didn't dare look up.

Thinking of ways to get out of this situation, he said, "Would you like a drink, Ms. Benett, Ms. Tabor? Let me get you something."

"I'd like some juice. Yourself, Ms. Tabor?" Elisa asked politely, trying to include Nicole.

"I'll have the same, thanks." Nicole smiled.

"Sure. I'll get them right away." Without even asking if Gareth would like any, Thomas scurried off.

Smiling warmly, Elisa pulled over a chair for Nicole.

Nicole beamed back at her. They looked as if they had been best friends for years.

But both of them knew they would never be friends!

Elisa stared into Nicole's eyes. She watched Nicole for her every move. "I think Truth or Dare sounds good. A friend of mine will be coming soon. The more, the merrier!"

She'll call Eden over to play. Let's see whose cover gets blown first!

Gareth became sullen at the mention of Elisa's 'friend.' It only took a few days for Elisa to call someone dangerous and whose background is a mystery, a friend?

"Elisa, is it that easy to be called your friend?" Gareth taunted her coldly.

His eyes were deep and fathomless. But looking closely, you could see the anger swirling in the depths.

Elisa knew what he was trying to say. She frowned and rolled her eyes at him.

This son of a b*tch was incorrigible. He must have been dropped on the head several times when he was a baby! She had tried to be polite for Nicole's sake. He had not followed Thomas' plan to seduce Nicole and did not understand what plan. So why in the world was he trying to make things harder for them?

She gestured for him to be quiet.
