Elisa shook her head. “I don’t need your help. I’ll look for him on my own. I’ve met him before.”
Will raised an eyebrow but didn’t protest. “Just remember one thing. He is different from what the rumors say.”
In other words, he wasn’t gay.
Brandon Simmons was the issue Anita had Elisa fix when they were in talks for a job.
Brandon had set his eye on Anita’s son. Rumors floating around about Brandon being homosexual and maybe even a pedophile. It was a worrisome time for Anita. Unfortunately for her, Brandon wasn’t someone easily handled.
She tried talking to him a few times, but it went nowhere.
In the end, Elisa was the one who took care of it for her. Anita was extremely grateful for her help.
Elisa met Will’s eyes and said, “Thank you for this.”
“Helping you uncover the truth is also a step forward in your need for vengeance. Don’t you think you owe me more than a thank you? Maybe something more physical?”
She stared at him wordlessly.
Will sighed exasperatedly. “I knew you’d reject me.”
Will knew what to say to lighten the mood to prevent any awkwardness and how to word things to not sound like he was harassing her.
He always put Elisa in a tight spot, but he went about it in a way that she did not find him irritating and didn’t feel any pressure from him.
Will stayed quiet at her insistence. Soon after, a waitress arrived with their food.
Elisa was equally as quiet. They shared the meal in peaceful silence.
However…
Meanwhile, somewhere else wasn’t as peaceful. In fact, there might even be a hint of gunpowder in the air.
Rachel had just arrived home from work. She stepping out of the elevator and found a snot stain waiting by their door!
Rachel’s mood instantly soured. “What are you doing here?” She glared at him warily.
Vincent grinned at her. “I’m here to see you, of course. Who else would want a tomboy like you? My mother made me promise to watch over you.”
