Chapter 155
The elevator doors slid open.
Theo stepped out, with Collin following closely behind
Sheila, tagging along with Ellinor, came out too, fearing that Theo might take off and forget about their dinner date
“Miss Mendoza, hold up!”
Surprised by the call, Sheila turned to see none other than Chase striding out of another elevator, all smiles towards her
With a confident spin, Sheila turned to him, grinning. “Mr. Larios, what brings you rushing after me? Is there anything else you need to discuss about the endorsement deal?”
Chase barely gave her a glance, his eyes passing over her and landing on Ellinor, “I’m not after you. I’m after the other Miss Mendoza ”
Sheila’s smile froze. ‘Oh Ellinor, come over here; Mr. Larios wants to see you!”
She didn’t forget to shoot her a glare as she called Ellinor over
Ellinor, looking puzzled, walked over to Chase, “What’s up. Mr. Larios?”
Chase suddenly stepped closer to her with a strange smile on his face, “I didn’t want to say this upstairs with all the employees around… Miss Mendoza, do you have a boyfriend?
Ellinor frowned, “…”
What was he up to?
Before she could answer, Chase continued, “If you are single, could you grant me the opportunity to pursue you?”
Ellinor stared at Chase, wondering what had gotten into him.
But Chase wasn’t done, “Miss Mendoza, I admit, I’ve fallen for you. I hope you’ll give me a chance to get closer to you!”
On the side, Sheila was gobsmacked and fuming.
How could an assistant snag Mr. Lanos’s heart at first sight?!
All Ellinor could do was let out an awkward laugh, ‘Mr. Larios, let’s talk about this over there!”
With that, she sidestepped him and headed off.
Chase turned to follow Ellinor, but not without feeling a chilling gaze fixed on them.
Once they were far enough, Ellinor asked him, “What’s going on?”
Chase, instead of answering, raised his voice on purpose. “Thank you for giving me a chance, Miss Mendoza! This is my card, it has my private number. I’ll be waiting for your call!TM
With that, he shoved his card into Ellinor’s hand, hugged her, and bolted, diving back into the elevator, leaving a very puzzled Ellinor.
Slowly, Ellinor turned around, only to find herself staring into Theo’s eyes.
Theo’s face was a mix of emotions as his gaze fixed on her.
Sheila was furious over Chase’s confession.
But remembering her dinner date with Mr. Blanchet, she quickly put on a smile and asked Theo.
‘Mr. Blanchet, what are we having for lunch?”
“Eat whatever you wanna eat”
