Chapter 1859 To Try or Not to Try?
"Sorry ''bout that, Mr. Mazel. Got caught up earlier and missed your call," Be''s voice remained cool.
"Ms. Bt 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 n now?"
Be exined calmly, "Okay, here''s how it goes, Mr. Mazel. Ms. Bt 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 dyed
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, Be 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 ir.
The fisherman continued, "Ms. Bt 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 n 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 t-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outdated vessel?
By this point, therger ships at the dock had all sailed off, leaving them with no option but the t-
bottomed ''boat.''
Rochelle was on the verge of fainting at the sight of the ''boat.'' But she clenched her teeth and budged.
After enduring a day brimming with humiliation, she wasn''t ready to brush it off. Rochelle had her mind
set on aeback, eager to teach Elisa a lesson or two.
With that determination, Rochelle managed to convince Paul, and eventually, they tagged along on the
stomach-churning boat ride.
The boat incessantly rocked back and forth,cking proper safety measures, and moved incredibly
sluggishly.
Every now and then, seawater sshes came dashing in, and the salty sea breeze disheveled
Rochelle''s delicate hairdo and expensive dress.
Paul wasn''t doing much better. They both vowed to make Elisa pay for subjecting them to this ordeal!
Meanwhile, Elisa mingled with the group aboard as Be led the way. Be couldn''t help but picture
Rochelle and Paul in their pitiful state, especially after getting off a call with Paul – it brightened her
mood.
She had recounted their awkward situation to Elisa, assuming they''d abandon the idea of joining the
cruise.
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 rtionship.
Before Elisa could chime in, Gareth interjected, "We''re friends, but I''m trying to win over Ms. Bt.
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,menting, "Good luck. I think you and
Ms. Bt 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 yful nudge on the shoulder, "You see, even your employee thinks we''re a
perfect match. So, Ms. Bt, how about giving me a chance?"
