Elisa extended her courtesy too. However, Will was dismayed by her remark. "Won't you help me if I don't do you a favor?"

Elisa became awkward and quickly explained, "That's not what I meant. I-I'm…just giving you my promise like you did to me."

Will was disturbed to see Elisa's nervous expression. In fact, he understood Elisa's intention but still asked the question because he was uncomfortable.

He smiled. "I understand. But, Elisa, what if I ask for… Sigh, forget about it. I know you won't agree. I should stop talking nonsense."

Will's smile turned rueful.

Elisa was unsettled to see Will's response. Moreover, Will was in his current situation because of her.


She pressed her lips and spoke hesitantly, "I know your feelings for me, Will, but I think it's better for us to be friends than lovers. Let's go. I'll send you home."

Elisa pushed Will out of the room.

Suddenly, a wild thought came to Will's mind. He clenched his fists and mustered his courage before saying, "I've been feeling unwell recently and don't feel like going home because I feel depressed in the lifeless home. Can I go to your place? If you bring me there, Gareth might stop pestering you. Meanwhile, my mother will give up too if she sees me go home with you. Don't worry. I can't do anything to you, given my current state, let alone I have no intention of doing anything to you." Will made his intention clear.

Elisa trusted Will. "Will, it's not that I don't trust you. I have no issue with bringing you to my place. You don't have to tell me all this. I have extra rooms for you too."

"I'm hoping to get acupuncture treatment from you. It'll be even better if you have some foot bath therapy. I'm quite worried about my current condition." Will continued explaining.

Elisa nodded. "Don't worry. I understand. Let's go."

With that, Elisa pushed Will to her car. While they were on the way home, Rachel called again.

"Elisa, have you seen my message?" Rachel asked.

"Yeah, but it slipped my mind because I was busy with something else. Why are you in the bar at this hour? Come to my place. I have no time to go to the bar."
