We Are Not Getting Remarried: Show Yourself Out

Chapter 2003 Lost Contact
A melodious ringtone rang out.
Surprisingly, Elisa managed to sleep soundly until dawn.
She was awakened by the ring of the phone. Otherwise, she would have continued her slumber.
Even she was somewhat taken aback, finding it surprising that she could sleep so.... soundly in Gareth’s embrace.
She hadn’t had a good sleep in a long time.
Gareth was also awakened by the noise. Seeing him slowly come to his senses, Elisa was finally able to escape his grasp. She
quickly left the couch and answered the call.
While doing so, she kept stealing glances at Gareth. His expression is somewhat unnatural.
She never expected that she could actually sleep in that position until dawn... She must have been really tired lately.
“Hey, Liz.”
Julia’s voice came from the other end of the line, tinged with a hint of urgency. This brought Elisa back to her senses, making her
much more alert.
She replied, “Grandma, it’s me. Is there something you need from me?”
When Julia heard Elisa’s voice, she felt significantly more relaxed.
This girl has that sort of magical aura. It provides a sense of comfort.
It would make one feel that as long as Elisa was around, everything would be fine.
When they were in the small fishing village, Elisa also empowered Gareth this way. It was quite peculiar, but this might probably
be Elisa’s unique superpower-the power of leadership and persuasion.
Julia sighed and responded, “I wanted to ask if you know where Bella has gone. When I woke up this morning and didn’t see her,
I thought she had gone to work. But I realize it’s Saturday, and after asking around, I found out that Bella didn’t come home last
night. Do you know where she went yesterday?”

Upon hearing the phrase “didn’t come home last night,” Elisa felt as if a thunderbolt had struck her entire being.
Yesterday... Elisa’s mind was racing. She had been out socializing yesterday.
She still hasn’t returned after a whole night of socializing?
Elisa instinctively understood that a serious problem had arisen, but she didn’t want to upset Julia, so she kindly told a white lie.
“Ah, yes. I know. I’m the one who sent her on a business trip.”
However, Julia wasn’t so easily fooled. After a moment of hesitation, she asked, “Is that really true? Hmm, you better not be lying
to me.”

Without any hesitation, Elisa replied, “It’s true, Grandma. Why would I lie to you? She really did go on a business trip, but it’s a
short one. She probably thought she could return overnight, so she didn’t tell you.”
“Why can’t my calls get through, then?” Julia asked cautiously, pressing for an answer.
Elisa chuckled. “Perhaps her phone ran out of battery on the way back, and she didn’t bring a power bank. She drove alone for
the business trip, so don’t worry. Shall I personally call our partners? I’ll notify you. immediately once I have any news.”
Upon hearing these words, Julia finally let down her guard and began to trust,
She replied. “All right, then. You must get back to me as soon as possible. Ideally, I’d like Bella to call me personally. That would
put my mind at ease.”
Elisa agreed and said, “It’s also my fault. I shouldn’t have let her go on a business trip alone. Next time, I should at least have
someone accompany her. Otherwise, it might be dangerous for her to lose contact with us.”
After Julia heard Elisa’s words, her attention was smoothly diverted.
The elderly woman said, “That’s not quite the right way to put it. After all, it’s perfectly normal for a” company’s employee to be
sent on business trips. We shouldn’t make a big deal out of this one incident. However, it would be best if male colleagues could
accompany female employees on future business trips.”
