We Are Not Getting Remarried: Show Yourself Out

Chapter 452 Benett Corporation Will Be Yours Tomorrow
Although Linda didn’t say it, Gareth already knew it because he could tell from the style and approach of the entire project that it was Elisa’s creation.
The moment he realized the truth, he was stunned and thought it was unbelievable.
After telling Gareth all that she wanted to say, Linda was relieved. She gazed at Gareth carefully and mumbled softly, “I-I had no other choices. The management in the company thinks Elisa still lacks experience and can’t handle this project, but Mr. Darcey… maybe he’s really fond of Elisa and wanted to pursue her through this matter. Nonetheless, the company shouldn’t put its reputation at risk, and we don’t want others to gossip about this matter. So, given this situation… I-I just want to ask i-if y-you…”
The words stuck in Linda’s throat as she became more awkward. Why did Dad ask me to talk to Gareth about this matter?! Why does he want me to take over this proposal?

Back then, she actually intended to leave after walking out, but Norman’s assistant approached her, passed the proposal to her, and exhorted her with some tasks. At that time, she rejected the offer, but Norman’s assistant continued persuading her. She was told that she would be the person in charge by name while they would find someone experienced to guide her. If the proposal worked out successfully, she would have more opportunities to interact with Gareth and develop their relationship.
But now, she was reluctant to take on the proposal because it would appear like they only approached Gareth after being rejected by Darcey Group.
“Garry, please don’t misunderstand me. Actually, this proposal… this proposal is…”
Linda closed her eyes. She didn’t want to spoil Gareth’s impression of her, so she could only explain the situation as tactfully as possible.
“Elisa hopes to retrieve Benett Corporation because it’s her father’s hard work after all. My father didn’t disagree after knowing her intention. Nevertheless, Elisa is my father’s niece, and everyone has participated in running the business. My father is worried that things would go wrong if Elisa takes over the company at this moment, and the management might not be persuaded. He didn’t want to damage the employee’s morale, so he wanted Elisa to take it slow. After all, she’s still young. So, he asked the department managers to let her handle some more challenging contracts and proposals.”
Sitting in the driver’s seat, Gareth remained silent. He had no intention of leaving yet because he was keen to continue listening.
Linda was a bundle of nerves, but she bit the bullet and continued explaining. “Actually, we gave her those proposals at that time, expecting that she wouldn’t be able to handle it. The intention was to make her realize how difficult reality is and deter her so that she can progress smoothly in the future. Many of those proposals were actually abandoned proposals because they were so challenging that no one could solve them.”
