No Chance of Remarriage Get Lost (Elisa) novel Chapter 1859

"Sorry 'bout that, Mr. Mazel. Got caught up earlier and missed your call," Bella's voice remained cool. "Ms. Benett is bogged down with social stuff at the moment, can't take calls. She left her phone with me."

Paul reined in his annoyance, querying, "So, what's the plan now?"

Bella explained calmly, "Okay, here's how it goes, Mr. Mazel. Ms. Benett thought it was dangerous to hit the waves after sundown. That's why she set the departure for 4:00 PM. The thing is, you got delayed and missed the ship. Not to worry, though—there's a backup boat ready to roll. Whether or not you're down for it, it's your call."

With that, Bella ended the call abruptly.

At that very moment, a man dressed like a fisherman approached.

As he got closer, Rochelle pinched her nose in apparent disgust.

The fisherman looked somewhat sheepish but asked, "Sorry to bother you. Are you Mr. Mazel and Ms. Matterson?"

Rochelle didn't respond while Paul adjusted his suit, snorting from his chin with an almost arrogant flair.

The fisherman continued, "Ms. Benett arranged for me to give you a lift. If you're up for it, feel free to hop on."

By now, Rochelle had an unsettling hunch.

What kind of boat could a fisherman plan to take them on?

Still, they followed him.

Upon seeing the boat, Paul's jaw dropped. Right there and then, he tugged Rochelle along, wanting to dash off.

To Paul's horror, that 'boat' wasn't even hitting the mark as a legit boat. It didn't even have a canopy, to begin with.

It was a flat-bottomed contraption with no engine, rowed with wooden oars, dependent on human muscles!

Come on, seriously? It was the twenty-first century, and they were stuck navigating in this kind of outdated vessel?

Elisa smirked but kept quiet. She doubted they'd give up that easily, not after such a public humiliation. Given their vindictive personalities, they'd find a way to make amends.

Elisa lingered at the back of the group, with Gareth by her side. Out of the blue, a busybody employee asked about their relationship.

Before Elisa could chime in, Gareth interjected, "We're friends, but I'm trying to win over Ms. Benett. So, keep your fingers crossed for me."

Elisa could see the glimmer in the young girl's eyes momentarily fade and then light up again – a sure sign of a crush on Gareth.

Eventually, the employee gave Gareth an approving smile, commenting, "Good luck. I think you and Ms. Benett would make a great couple."

Elisa found herself surprised by the unexpected remark. Before she could respond, the young girl had already dashed away.

Gareth gave Elisa a playful nudge on the shoulder, "You see, even your employee thinks we're a perfect match. So, Ms. Benett, how about giving me a chance?"
