Chapter 2004 The Search

Elisa nodded in agreement.

Julia’s intentions were good.

She didn’t want Bella to be overly special in the company. After all, her status was already there for all to

sec.

Regardless of whether it was Bella or any other girl, no one should travel on business alone.

Elisa agreed, then chatted with Julia for a while longer before finally hanging up the phone.

As soon as she hung up the phone, Elisa immediately returned to her room without a moment’s delay.

She stank to high heaven after not changing her clothes all night. The most pressing matter was to take a bath,

change her clothes and head out immediately. She didn’t even have time to greet Gareth.

Gareth watched Elisa in her flurry of activity, somewhat puzzled.

He rubbed his head, regretting that he really shouldn’t have drunk alcohol the day before.

Originally, he thought if he felt unwell, drinking something warm would make him feel better.

Unexpectedly, the more he drank, the worse he felt. In the end, he finally lost consciousness.

However, Gareth still remembered the scene when he woke up that day. Elisa was in a hurry to put some distance

between them. Does this mean that we slept together yesterday?

At that thought, Gareth’s heart fluttered as if he were an eighteen-year-old high school boy who had just held the

hand of the girl he liked.

Over the phone, he managed to catch bits and pieces of the conversation.

It seemed that Bella had gone missing, so Gareth also got up and went to freshen up and tidy up.

It took Elisa twenty minutes to tidy up and arrive downstairs, which was the fastest she could manage.

During that time, she also called those few people from the company who had accompanied Bella to the social

event, only to receive an answer that wasn’t particularly positive.

Everything seemed pretty normal that day. The contract signing was going through the usual process, and

everyone thought the contract was going to be delivered.

There was a colleague named Brian who was quite sleazy, always looking at Bella with ill intentions.

As things were wrapping up, Bella asked the trio, one man and two women, to leave first.

They never saw Bella nor the man again.

In the end, the three of them returned to the room and looked around, only to find shards of gla*s scattered all

over the floor. There was no sign of anyone.

Several people felt that something was amiss and immediately decided to call Bella.

At that moment, the phone was answered by the man who had disappeared.

He said that Bella was drunk and needed to rest at the hotel. He himself would be leaving soon and suggested that

the three of them shouldn’t wait and could leave first.

The person was a veteran in the company, almost been promoted to the position of project team director, so the

three of them didn’t give it much thought.

Elisa was so frustrated that she couldn’t help but scold the three of them over the phone, “With your level of

alertness and response, I really wonder how you got into the company’s project team. Why did you leave when he

told you to? Why did you trust him? Couldn’t you confirm it? Which hotel?”

Having obtained the hotel address, as well as the man’s contact information and home address, Elisa hurriedly

rushed out.

At that moment, she encountered the neatly dressed Gareth.

Perhaps due to the experience from the day before, Elisa always felt a bit guilty when she saw Gareth.

Elisa originally didn’t want to greet him and planned to leave directly, but fate had other plans, as Gareth called out

to stop her.

“I’m going with you.” The tone was not of negotiation but of declaration.

Elisa instinctively wanted to refuse, but when she opened her mouth, she couldn’t find the words to say

1.

Gareth was Bella’s brother. It was only natural and expected for them to go together.
