Chapter 1823 Grateful


    She subtly tried to inch away, but there was barely any space between them. She knew this was her


    way of silently rejecting his advances, but she didn''t want to make a scene.


    Gareth was slightly disappointed but quickly regained hisposure and acted as if nothing had


    happened.


    "The police are still gathering more information from Be. I know you want to stay with her tonight, but


    I don''t want you to sleep here. I booked a room for you at a hotel nearby. I''ll ask the officers to take you


    there."


    Elisa looked reluctant.


    "It''s only a mile away. I booked two rooms. If we''re needed here, we cane back together. If you


    stay in the waiting room here, you''ll catch a cold," Gareth exined in a deep and concerned voice.


    Elisa hesitated for a moment before nodding her head.


    "Thank you," she muttered softly. She turned around and headed towards the rest area to wake Be


    up.


    Gareth''s voice rang out behind her.


    "You don''t have to thank me. I''m the one who should be thanking you."


    Elisa didn''t respond as she opened the door to the resting area.


    Gareth let out a sigh of relief. He had been worried that Elisa would refuse his offer. He knew she was


    a strong-willed woman; once she made up her mind, it was hard to change it.


    He booked a presidential suite with two rooms opposite each other.


    Be slept in the same room as Elisa. They fell asleep quickly.


    Gareth couldn''t help but sigh, thinking how much better it would have been if they were at Wickam


    Manor.

    The night passed quietly.


    The following day, Gareth sent Elisa and Be back to the police station.


    After a good night''s sleep, Be looked much better than before. She was no longer panicking at the


    slightest movement.


    Be was able to recover quickly from her anxious breakdowns thanks to Elisa''sforting presence


    by her side throughout the day. She was also a mentally resilient person by nature.


    Gareth had work to attend to at the office, so he took a taxi to Wickam Group after apanying Be


    and Elisa to the police station. It was a rare sight for his employees to see him taking a taxi.


    Be gave a concise and detailed ount of the incident to the police at the station. The police


    assured her that they would do everything in their power to apprehend the intruder.


    After thanking the police, Elisa brought Be to the car.


    "Are you feeling okay? You look like you''re still breaking out in cold sweats," Elisa said worriedly as she


    took out a few tissues to pass to Be. "Use this to wipe your sweat away."


    Be thanked Elisa and started to wipe her sweat away.


    "Ms. Bt, I''m so sorry for being a nuisance the past two days. I had no one else to call but you


    yesterday. I don''t know anyone else in Bayswe, and I couldn''t bear to frighten Grandma."


    Elisa smiled warmly. "What are you saying? How is this a nuisance? I can''t let anything happen to my


    best employee. We have a big proposaling up. Who am I supposed to find if something happened


    to you?"


    Be finally smiled. She knew Elisa was trying to lighten her burden.


    Elisa''s kindness deeply touched her, and it made her feel extremely grateful for her support.


    In the car, Elisa asked Be if she wanted to go to the office or home.
