Chapter 1433
Ellinor didn’t pay much attention to Bartlett. She brushed off his advances and concentrated on her own work.
Yet, to her surprise, Bartlett showed up again when she was leaving work.
At the base of the Blanchet Corporation building.
As Ellinor and Veronica were exiting the building, about to climb into their private limousine, the sound of a car horn startled them.
They turned around to see Bartlett’s car parked behind them. He had rolled down his window, sticking his head out and flashing a dazzling smile at them. He was
even waving.
Veronica frowned at the sight of Bartlett. “What’s he doing here again?”
Ellinor’s eyebrows creased slightly. “Who knows why he’s so idle?”
Huffing in annoyance, Veronica exclaimed, “Let’s go! We don’t need to bother with him. Let’s get in our own car.”
With that, Veronica hurriedly pulled Ellinor into their car and urged the driver to go.
“Quick. Start the car. Let’s leave that piece of junk behind.”
The driver acknowledged the order, but before he could step on the accelerator, Bartlett’s car swiftly drove up and blocked their path, nearly causing an accident. Veronica was furious. She was ready to get out of the car and confront Bartlett. But Bartlett had already exited his car and casually climbed into theirs through the passenger door.
Veronica was astounded by Bartlett’s audacity. “Hey! Are you out of your mind? Not only did you block our car, but you climbed into ours without permission.” Bartlett turned his head and grinned at Ellinor, who was sitting in the back seat. “Ellinor, didn’t we agree to go to the amusement park today?”
Ellinor was speechless and forced a small grin.
Who agreed with him? He must have made that agreement with himself.
Veronica looked anxiously at Ellinor. “Did you really agree to take him with us?”
Ellinor responded coolly. “No.”
Veronica felt relieved to hear that Ellinor had rejected him and glared at Bartlett. “You heard her, right? She didn’t agree to take you. Stop being presumptuous and get out!”
Bartlett, however, had no intention of leaving. He buckled his seat belt and sat back comfortably.
His nonchalance made Veronica livid. “Hey you…”
“Let it go.” Ellinor glanced at the time. It was getting late, and she didn’t want to keep the kids waiting.
“Drive!” She said to the driver.
“Yes, Ellinor.”
The driver obeyed. He backed their car out and bypassed Bartlett’s, heading towards the daycare.
Veronica was upset that she couldn’t kick Bartlett out and complained to Ellinor. “Why do we need to bring this guy when we’re picking up the kids?” Ellinor absently replied, “The daycare is about to close. We don’t have time to fuss over him. It’s a waste of time.”
Veronica made a face.
