Chapter 967 Thomas&apos Dilemma
Elisa froze. She hadn't expected Thomas to send her a proposal this quickly.
Elisa froze. She hadn't expected Thomas to send her a proposal this quickly.
She frowned and inquired, "Did Gareth instruct you to send it to me?"
Thomas cleared his throat. He experienced a slight sense of impasse between Elisa and Gareth. Both
parties appeared to be able to deduce what the other was thinking.
More importantly, their analytical skills were intimidating. Sometimes they had enough implicit
understanding to know what went on. Hence, Thomas was unable to lie to Elisa.
Thomas said cautiously, "This newly acquired project comes with huge stakes. Normally, Mr. Wickam

would consider cooperating with Tabor Group, but he decided to reach out to you first."
Thomas didn't have to go into trouble explaining the reason for the decision. Elisa understood why.
Everyone knew that Tabor Group outperformed Benett Corporation in strength, but they needed to find
a strong partner to complement their business. The plan was vital for a win-win partnership.
Their project before had gone well because Elisa made a sound proposal, but this time it was a project
by the Wickam Group.
Elisa frowned. She replied calmly, "I apologize, but would you kindly inform him the company recently
started some new projects and can't collaborate with Wickam Group? Since there is much at stake, the
participation of Benett Corporation will only cause trouble down the line. Let's not trouble Mr. Wickam

more than we should."
Thomas thought, how should I convey the message?
After a moment of silence, he said, "At the time being, the collaboration project is not an urgent matter.
Maybe evaluate the project, and decide later, Ms. Elisa?"
Elisa refused, "The answer is still no. I have too much on my plate, and I'm afraid there's no room for
this project."
Thomas sighed, "Alright, I'll let Mr. Wickam know."
"Okay, thank you," said Elisa.
The two hung up the phone. Elisa refused the offer, but Thomas remained persistent. Thomas dialed
Gareth's number.
Gareth was silent on the other line. Thomas reported cautiously, "Mr. Wickam, ah...I just talked to Elisa

on the phone."
Gareth's expression darkened. He replied in a low voice.
"What did she say?"
Thomas took a deep breath. He couldn't relay Elisa's words, so he phrased them delicately. "Elisa is
preoccupied with stock-related issues and even hired bodyguards to ensure her safety. She explained
that while those issues are being sorted, she will not have the time to devote to another project. She
intends to stabilize the internal situation before proceeding with further discussion."
Thomas said nothing more; he had run out of justifications. Their individual choices would determine
the result.
Gareth hung up the phone without saying anything. Thomas groaned, realizing that the project would
likely be delayed. Gareth would never collaborate with Tabor Group anymore now that he had Elisa.
Compared to Nicole, he had more interest in and affection toward Elisa.
