Chapter 1854 Repayment

Bella's hands trembled as she approached to sign the contract, like leaves quivering in the wind. Even after

clutching the official document, a feeling of light-headedness lingered.

It took a moment for Bella to realize the urge to share this moment of joy and accomplishment with Elisa.

However, as she looked around, Elisa was nowhere to be seen.

Bella was perplexed and promptly dispatched her colleagues to locate Elisa.

Simultaneously, Elisa had just exited the restroom, wiping her hands and casting her gaze downwards. Just as a

shadow loomed over her, she looked up too late and collided with a solid wall.

"Ouch!"

Elisa winced, stepping back and rubbing her throbbing forehead. Then, she met the eyes of the person standing

before her—none other than Gareth.

Gareth stood with his hands in his pockets, looking at her indifferently.

Elisa's eyes were drawn to his lips.

"What? Not even a thank-you?" Gareth quipped a playful note in his voice.

Watching his lips move as he talked, she couldn't help but recall the kiss they'd shared a couple of weeks ago.

Taking a small step back, she put some distance between them and regarded Gareth cautiously. He seemed to be

jesting, but his expression lacked a smile.

Keeping her silence, she held his gaze as if contemplating something.

Eventually, she broke the quiet, "Thanks, Mr. Wickam."

As those words hung there, she turned to leave, but a hand got in her way.

It was a hand with distinct knuckles. Following the arm upward, Elisa met the gaze of the person it belonged to, who

gave her a playful grin.

There was a hint of disappointment on his face, his brows slightly furrowing. "That's it? I did quite a favor for your

company, and you're just going to breeze past it with a casual thank you?"

Elisa found herself gazing at Gareth again, where his eyes held an intense and profound expression.

She toyed with the idea of shutting him up by giving him a heads-up that she was on top of things – and seriously,

he should know that already.

She was confident she could handle this situation just fine without needing his backup.

Elisa let out a small, resigned sigh, finally giving in and turning her attention to Gareth. "Fine. What do you want me

to do for you, exactly?"

Before Gareth could respond, a voice she recognized piped up. "Look! It's Ms. Benett!"

Gareth turned to see who it was. Elisa did the same.

Turned out it was her co-worker.

More people rushed over in no time, barely noticing Gareth and forming a circle around Elisa.

Gareth got nudged to the side, somewhat pushed aside.

Elisa felt a bit overwhelmed as the group started chatting and joking animatedly. She rubbed her temple, sensing a

headache coming on.

"Whoa, whoa, hold on a sec,"

Bella interjected with a grin, "Since this is our first major victory, how 'bout I throw a celebratory dinner for us all?

Let's make it a blast! And, of course, our stay of the show, Ms. Benett, has to be there!"

Elisa was about to decline, but seeing how everyone was putting in overtime these days, not just the project team

but other departments too, and her co-workers' excited faces, she looked around.

In the end, Elisa gave a nod. "Sure thing."

Cheers erupted, "Yeay! Hip-hip-hooray for Ms. Benett!"

Caught up in the lively mood, Elisa couldn't help but smile.

"But..." Elisa's tone shifted.
