Julia was reluctant to let Elisa go, but she had run out of ways to persuade her. “All right then. It’s late, and I shouldn’t keep you here any longer. It would be best if you headed home soon. It’s not safe to be out so late.”

Elisa nodded, but before she could say anything, Gareth said, “I’ll send her back. I happen to have some work matters to discuss with her.”

Elisa frowned and was deeply against Gareth’s offer.

However, she remembered they would have to work together soon. He might need to instruct her on some work matters. Thus, she did not refuse.

Julia was surprised and wanted to say something. But she saw Elisa’s expression and kept quiet.

Elisa smiled at Julia. “Grandma, I’ll be leaving first.”

“Sure, come and see me again when you’re free. You don’t have to come when you’re busy with work. You should prioritize work.”

Elisa smiled and nodded. “All right. I understand.”

After exchanging a few more words, Gareth and Elisa left together.

Gareth had parked his car in the yard. Julia stood at the door and watched them. Gareth walked to the front passenger’s side and opened the door for Elisa like a gentleman.
