Elisa bit her bottom lip when the man asked the question.

She kept her mouth sealed.

She did not mean that he was talking nonsense. It was just that he was straying off-topic.

All that he had asked were personal questions about her.

Elisa was being as direct as possible. If she were to point it out straight, it would only disrupt their conversation, and both would be left with a sour taste in their mouths.

She kept silent, but he was in no hurry to coax an answer out of her.

He took a sip of tea and spoke slowly after some time. "I didn't have any other purpose for calling you over. Since you've said you don't know the person, just take it as I'm watching another person through you."

The man revealed his real intentions.

He did not find anything about Elisa and thought of making her stay for a few more days with the excuse of the gathering.

He thought of asking the person directly. But Elisa's reaction showed that it was real, and she did not purposely hide anything.


And just as he said, he was observing the cherished one whom he had not met for a long time through Elisa.

"Is she your… lover?"

She observed his expression as he pondered. She asked the question but immediately regretted it.

She should not have done it.

But she could not turn back time.

The man was wide awake and immediately answered, "No, she's my family."

It had been over a decade since they met.

He did not hear any news of her inheritance or return to the country since he left over a decade ago.

And he did not inquire about any information on the country.

Elisa kept silent. She was at a loss for words.

She may never meet this boss again after night.

'Ding!'

An alert noise rang.

Elisa got up to check and saw that the corrupted footage on the security cameras was fixed. In the video, Nicole came out from the private room.

Although she had her back to the cameras, within seconds, Elisa noticed that Nicole had gone closer to Gareth's private room. She turned her back to the camera in the room corner.

A few seconds later, when she turned back, Nicole wore a realistic silicone mask that looked exactly like Elisa!

A cold look flashed through Elisa's face.
