Chapter 1269
Belinda was taken aback. “He’s not here? Then why are you here?”
Collin answered truthfully. “Mr. Blanchet asked me to stay here to protect Ellinor.”
Belinda snorted. “He’s such a dummy! What Ellinor needs right now isn’t this kind of one-sided concern, but his company! He doesn’t even get this? Whatever! I’m going to check on Ellinor!”
fgnoring Collin, Belinda took the chocolates she brought with her and went to Ellinor’s room.
Collin sighed deeply and texted Mr. Blanchet. “Mr. Blanchet, do you want to come see Ellinor tonight?”
A few minutes later, he received a reply from Mr. Blanchet. “Did she say she wanted to see me?”
Collin helplessly replied. “No, she didn’t say anything.”
Mr. Blanchet’s response came quicker this time, but it was quite cold. “Just keep an eye on her.”
Collin sighed. “Alright.”
He was really worried for Mr. Blanchet.
Just as he put away his phone, he saw Belinda coming out of Ellinor’s room, holding a few pieces of chocolate out to him. “Here, these are for you.”
Collin looked surprised. “For me? I don’t need it.”
“These are from Ellinor. She said you’ve been standing at the door all day without eating or resting. She wanted me to bring you a chair and get you something to eat and drink.”
Saying this, Belinda dashed to get a chair from the dining table and then quickly ran to the kitchen to bring him some bread and water.
Collin was touched. Even though Ellinor clearly didn’t like him, she still cared about him. Ellinor was such a gentle person.
Belinda continued. “Ellinor also said you must be having a hard time working for a boss like Theo who treats his employees harshly.”
Collin was at a loss for words.
Mr. Blanchet had actually treated him quite well, but he was a bit cold and didn’t talk much.
Mr. Blanchet never said he couldn’t rest or go out to eat. It was Collin who wasn’t hungry and chose not to.
He took the bread and water from Belinda. “Thank Ellinor for me.”
Belinda looked at him sympathetically. “Eat up! You really suffer working for Theo. He’s so serious and cold when he’s working. I couldn’t stand it after just one day, but you have to face it every day. If I were you, I would quit this job.”
Collin remained silent.
Belinda suddenly remembered something. “Oh, by the way, about Theo…”
“What goodies are you guys sharing? None for me?”
Before she could finish, Belinda felt someone lean over her shoulder and deliberately blow hot air behind her ear.
Startled, she jumped back and retorted. “Your share is with Ellinor; if you want some, go get it yourself!”
Chase crossed his arms and smiled. “Someone here is keeping an eye on me and doesn’t want me to go into my boss’s room. Why don’t you get it for me?”
Collin was speechless.
So was Belinda.
In the end, Belinda went back to Ellinor’s room and brought out a few pieces of chocolate for him.
