Chapter 1114
Chase was caught and turned around in a bit of unease, “But I’m worried that the boss might do something rash! She’s clearly got a thing for Mr. Blanchet, if she…”
Ida gave him an eye roll. “What are you rambling about? Have you ever seen she do something rash? You think she’d screw up just because of a man? I trust that she knows what she’s doing.”
Chase took a moment, then slumped back onto the couch. “That hypocrite, Theo, is such a jerk. Pretending to be all lovey-dovey with her while chasing skirts abroad! He’s ten thousand times worse than me!”
Ellinor came out of the private room, heading to the rooftop for some fresh air alone.
Twilight Bar was a property of her Crescent Society, and most of the staff there knew her, so she could move freely without a hitch.
With her hand rested on the railing, she stared into the distance, her mind both quiet and chaotic.
Then she heard a noise from the balcony one floor below the rooftop. She snapped back to reality, looking down.
Coincidentally, she saw Theo standing alone on the lower balcony, puffing on a cigarette.
Since meeting Theo, aside from thinking he was a bit aloof and had a bad temper, Ellinor had never really questioned his character.
It turned out, he was a pretty good actor!
So, the reason he kept putting off registering their marriage was because he was already registered with another woman. Any more would mean bigamy.
Interesting!
Just then, a girl in a strap dress elegantly approached the man on the balcony.
“Mr. Blanchet, did you come alone?”
Theo blew out a puff of smoke, gave the girl a cursory look, but didn’t answer.
Seeing that the man wasn’t totally put off, she took a few more steps closer, a charming smile on her face, “Mr. Blanchet, I heard you’re married? Why didn’t you bring your wife with you today?”
Theo, cigarette in hand and eyes slightly squinted, replied nonchalantly with a hint of ambiguity, “Who told you that?”
The girl’s smile grew more charming; she continued to probe, “I saw posts online about you being married! Are the rumors false?”
Theo chuckled faintly, “Online news is mostly made up to attract attention. Smart people don’t believe that stuff.”
The girl’s eyes lit up, “So, Mr. Blanchet, you’re still single then?”
Theo exhaled a puff of smoke without any hesitation, “That’s right, I’m single.”
Ellinor laughed out loud.
It was hilarious!
She thought she misjudged someone, but she never thought she got it so wrong!
To think she mistook such a scumbag for a gentleman! She really got it wrong!
The girl below heard the laughter; she looked up towards the source but saw nothing.
“What was that? Mr. Blanchet, did you hear laughter just now?”
Theo flicked the ash off his cigarette, followed the girl’s gaze upwards, but saw no one.
“I didn’t hear any laughter; perhaps it was just the wind.”
The girl was a bit puzzled. She had clearly heard a laugh, a laugh filled with sarcasm and desolation. Was she hearing things?
Forget it. Screw it!
She finally had the chance to talk to Mr. Blanchet; she couldn’t miss that golden opportunity!
