We Are Not Getting Remarried: Show Yourself Out

Linda stared back innocently.

Maintaining her composure, Elisa smiled slowly. "I'm a woman of my word. But Will might still be recovering. I'll have to call him to confirm."

Linda laughed easily. "That's so kind of you, Elisa! Thank you for being so willing to help me."

Elisa smiled widely at Linda, "You're welcome."

Nothing further was said.

Linda continued acting like a sweet, innocent girl.

She knew Elisa wouldn't actually introduce her to anyone. But as Elisa was the one to bring it up, Linda was determined to build a connection with Will. Once they had a connection, she wouldn't need to rely on Elisa anymore. Her current appearance was nothing less than a beauty. Who knows, after talking to Will a few times, he might fall in love with her.

Elisa pulled out her phone and called Will.

He answered almost immediately.

"Elisa, finally." Will sounded gentle and sweet. He sounded in much better health than when she last spoke to him.

Elisa blinked. She remembered what her mother had told her. She pursed her lips shut. "How are you feeling?"

"Recovering. Not bad." Will coughed.

"Not bad?" Elisa frowned.

"Yeah."

He coughed again.

Elisa frowned. Something didn't feel right. "What's wrong?" She asked.

"I'm honestly fine. I just had a tickle in my throat." Will smiled.

There was a slight pause when Elisa noticed Linda was listening closely. Elisa asked lightly, "What are your thoughts about the Western Suburbs project? I met a new friend recently."

Elisa emphasized the word 'friend'.

She knew Will well enough to know he would pick up on it.

"What's up?"

"It's Melinda Garner, heiress of the Garner family. She's just returned. Her family wants her to take over some company projects, but… You know how it is. She's just returned, and few are convinced of her abilities."

Will stayed quiet. He waited for Elisa to continue.

"She needs a project to prove herself, which was why I thought of the Western Suburbs project. She's right next to me. If you'd like, maybe the both of you could have a chat about it."

"Cough…"

Will started to cough.

Elisa hid a smirk. His coughs earlier were involuntary, but this one wasn't.

He understood what she wanted of him.
