Chapter 269
Patricia was eyeing her, coming on strong. “You’re Ellinor, aren’t you?”
Ellinor gave a slight nod “Yeah, that’s me”
Is she trying to pick a fight with me?
Patricia walked up to Ellinor and surprisingly took her hands warmly. Im sorry, I thought you were a guest…
Being uncomfortable with physical contact with a stranger, Ellinor coolly withdrew her hand. She gave a light smile. “No worries; we haven’t met before, so, normally you wouldn’t recognize me”
Patricia didn’t seem to mind Ellinor’s withdrawal and smiled innocently “Ellinor, when I was abroad, Theo often mentioned you on the phone!”
Ellinor raised an eyebrow “Oh really? What has Mr. Blanchet been saying about me?”
She bet it’s not anything good
Patricia looked at Ellinor with admiration. “Theo often praises you, says you’re sensible, not one of those girls who only think about climbing the social ladder. He also says you know your place, have principles, and understand the boundaries between men and women. In short, he says you’re great.”
He sure talks a lot. They must be on the phone quite often!
But Mr. Blanchet wasn’t praising her, he kept Patricia in the loop. He was clearing his name from any other women
Ellinor gave a small smile. Thanks for his compliments.”
Patricia sincerely said “Ellinor, thank you for being willing to help Theo deal with his family during this time!”
Ellinor gave a helpless smile, ‘It’s nothing, really,”
*Ellinor, you’re really a great person, and I feel we have a good connection. I think we could become good friends!”
As she spoke, Patricia took Ellinor’s hands enthusiastically, batting her big eyes at her in a friendly manner.
Although Ellinor felt awkward, she didn’t have the heart to pull her hands away this time due to Patricia’s sincerity.
She had no ill feelings towards Patricia, but she didn’t want to befriend her either.
Once the collaboration period ends, Mr. Blanchet and his people will have nothing to do with her.
“Theo, you’re back!”
Patricia suddenly let go of Ellinor’s hands and ran happily towards the entrance….
Ellinor turned her head and saw that Mr. Blanchet was back.
Theo Blanchet had just walked in, looking a bit rushed
He was still wearing the suit he wore yesterday at Pearl Moon; his hair seemed to have been messed up by the wind, adding a lively touch to his mature and calm face.
As soon as Theo walked through the door, his gaze fell straight on Ellinor. His narrow and cold eyes hid terrible bloodshot, and his handsome cheeks were slightly stubbled, contrasting sharply with his usual meticulous elite image.
He looked worn out, tired, wild, and dangerous.
And there was a worn look on his firm, cold face that had never been there before.
In just one night, his body seemed to have lost a lot of weight.
This change made people wonder if he had over indulged himself last night.
Ellinor squinted her eyes, thinking Theo had a passionate confession with his first love last night. They must not have been able to control their feelings and spent the whole night together, right?
