Chapter 132
After Ellinor left, the atmosphere went back to normal
Pollack, more peeved about being interrupted than anything else, completely overlooked the inconspicuous assistant. Turning back, he continued enthusiastically pitching his movie script to Mr. Blanchet, Mr. Wyton, and Mr. Larios.
Sheila, without any semblance of propriety, sidled up to pour tea for the three bosses When she poured Theo’s cup, she tried to sneak in a little closer.
Suddenly, the man stood up coldly. “Excuse me.”
Theo came out, looking around for Ellinor, but found no trace of her. His expression was chilly.
There was a private restroom for VIPS at the entrance that was unisex. The restroom door cracked open, and Ellinor poked her head out, “I’m in here!”
After saying that, she carefully withdrew her head, leaving the door ajar. Theo squinted his eyes, strode over, and walked into the restroom.
The restroom door closed
Ellinor looked up at him, a man much taller and darker than her, “Just say what you have to say!”
Theo looked at her, a hint of mockery in his eyes, “Weren’t you pretending not to know me just now?”
Ellinor pulled a wry smile, “… Because I think we are worlds apart, there’s no need to pretend we know each other in public.”
Theo frowned, “No need?”
Ellinor nodded. ‘Sir, I know you married me just to appease your elders. In front of your family, I will cooperate with you, but this is not the Blanchet family, nor are there any members of the Blanchet family present. I believe we don’t need to acknowledge each other.”
Theo stared at her coldly and scoffed, “Ms. Mendoza, is my identity embarrassing to you, or not worthy of you, that you hate it when others know you know me?”
Ellinor frowned, candidly replying. “Your identity won’t embarrass anyone, on the contrary, it will add a little shine to most people, but I don’t need that, nor do I want many people to know about our relationship. Sir, I hope you can understand that when it’s unnecessary, please help me hide our relationship.”
Theo’s face was expressionless He was silent for two seconds before saying. “If you insist, let’s go with your way.”
Ellinor let out a sigh of relief, “Thank you for understanding” As long as he understood this point, she would feel a lot more at ease.
“Now, explain your behavior in the room just now.” The man suddenly lifted her chin, asking sternly.
Ellinor was taken aback and forced to look into his deep eyes. “Sir, what behavior are you referring to?”
The man’s eyes narrowed slightly, carrying a dangerous vibe, “What did you do in the tea room before you came out?”
Ellinor seemed a bit uneasy, “I… I was drinking orange juice!
Theo raised an eyebrow sarcastically. “Is orange juice supposed to be shared with a man?”
