Chapter 165
Ellinor, phone in hand, said, “Mr. Blanchet probably hasn’t left yet. I’m calling his secretary now to see if we can get him to come back.”
Sheila froze, suddenly on edge. “What? How’d you get Mr. Blanchet’s secretary’s number?”
Ellinor casually replied, “Oh, I happened to run into Mr. Blanchet’s secretary when I came out of the restroom earlier and we chatted a bit. I got his number then.”
“Why’d you need his secretary’s number? Are you trying to catch his eye again?” Sheila retorted sarcastically.
Ellinor shook her head earnestly. “I’m not trying to attract anyone… I’m your assistant now, getting paid by you, so I need to do my job I need to know more people and resources, hence why I took the secretary’s number. It might be helpful for your work in the future! My dad reminded me this morning to do a good job helping you!”
Sheila eyed Ellinor skeptically, scoffing, “Then give that secretary a call now. I’d like to see if you can persuade Mr. Blanchet to come back!”
“I’ll do my best. “Ellinor lowered her head and turned away to make the call…
Soon, the call connected Collin, the secretary, answered respectfully, “Ms. Mendoza, what can I do for you?”
Ellinor politely requested, “Could you tell Mr. Blanchet that I was in the wrong earlier and I hope he could return for the meal?”
Collin was taken aback by Ellinor’s sudden politeness, then replied, “I’m sorry, Ms. Mendoza. Mr. Blanchet is off to a meeting, he may not be able to return”
Ellinor sighed regretfully, “I see…
Sheila was next to Ellinor, listening carefully, but unfortunately, she couldn’t hear the voice on the other end of the phone.
Ellinor thought for a moment, then asked, ‘Is he available tonight? I’d like to cook him a meal as an apology, I hope he could give me a chance, is it possible?”
Collin hesitated, “Umm… let me ask Mr. Blanchet.”
Ellinor nodded, “Alright”
The car was smoothly driving on the road.
Collin, from the passenger seat, looked back at Mr. Blanchet settling in the back…
There was still a faint palm print on his face. His handsome face was cold and ruthless, his brows furrowed, leaning back on the seat with his eyes closed, lost in thought… But one thing Collin was sure of, Mr. Blanchet was in a really bad mood.
Collin cautiously started, “Mr. Blanchet, Miss Ellinor called to invite you to dinner. She said her behavior earlier was inappropriate and hopes to cook for you as an apology She asked if you’re free tonight?”
Hearing her name, recalling the slap on his face. Theo was visibly annoyed. Without opening his eyes, he simply said, “No.”
Collin helplessly turned back to the phone, “Ms. Mendoza, he’s not…”
Suddenly, Theo opened his eyes, sternly saying, “Ask her when and where.”
Collin’s words were cut off, he paused, “…Alright”
After discussing the time and place with Ellinor on the phone, Collin hung up, turned to Theo and reported: “Ms. Mendoza wants to meet you at 8 o’clock tonight, in room 808 of the Moonscape Hotel.”
Theo thought, meeting him in a hotel… for dinner?
