Chapter 127
“Uh–huh, yes!” Sheila replied in a sweet voice, excited as hell.
Damn, Mr. Blanchet was talking to her! His voice was so sexy, it was like music to her ears.
But the only reason he was talking to her was because of Ellinor, which was kind of a bummer.
Upon hearing Sheila’s ‘yes‘, Theo furrowed his brows and glared at Ellinor again, his eyes full of mixed feelings.
Jonah turned his head with a smirk and shot a glance at his brother Theo, clearly intrigued.
Even though he didn’t exactly know what was going on between these two, he wouldn’t miss a chance to tease Ellinor. With a mischievous smile, he turned to Ellinor and asked, “You know how to make tea?”
Ellinor kept her head down and shook it.
Sheila, however, frowned. She was pissed that all the attention from these top dogs was on Ellinor. So, she chuckled and said
“Mr. Wyton, my assistant here is a country bumpkin! Just look at her clothes; it’s clear she has no taste, let alone know the elegant art of tea–making!”
Jonah laughed it off, “No worries if she doesn’t; let her just make us some random teal We’re bored of all the professional stuff, something simple might be a nice change!”
“Oh, come on…” Sheila was totally confused. What was so appealing about Ellinor, who was dressed so casually and had such simple makeup?
Since Mr. Wyton had made a request, Sheila couldn’t refuse anymore. She turned to Ellinor, giving her a hidden glare, “Quit standing there like a lost puppy! Go learn how to make some tea for the bosses!”
Ellinor didn’t want to, but she really had no choice.
With a sigh, she obediently went to make the tea.
Ellinor knew this was Jonah’s way of messing with her, they must have recognized her.
She remained calm and went through the normal tea–making process, casually using the tea set to make a pot of tea. Then, she poured out four cups and served them to the four men seated around the tea table.
The last cup was for Theo.
Throughout all this, she kept her head down and didn’t look at any of them.
As long as there was no eye contact, there’d be no need for any conversation, thus preventing Sheila from finding out they knew each other.
Just as she was about to put the last cup of tea in front of Theo, her hand was intercepted by a rough man’s hand.
It seemed like he was just reaching for the tea, but his coarse fingertips were pressing on hers, making it impossible for her to pull her hand back.
“Lift your head.”
The man’s voice was calm yet intimidating.
Ellinor didn’t lift her head, silently resisting him.
She really didn’t want Sheila to find out they knew each other.
Knowing Sheila, if she found out, she would definitely stir up trouble.
Seeing Theo’s attention on Ellinor, even touching her hand, Sheila felt a surge of jealousy
Feeling that something was off, Sheila couldn’t help herself and started to question suspiciously, “Mr. Blanchet, why are you so interested in my assistant? Do you know
her?”
Theo, looking at Ellinor, slowly opened his mouth.
