Chapter 358
Hearing that, Theo threw a questioning look at Ellinor.
Ellinor frowned Why was Theo looking at her like that again? Was it because he was too embarrassed to refuse Patricia and asked her to play the role of the bad guy? This guy was always scheming!!
Oh well, since Theo has been nice to her recently, she’d help him out this time!
Ellinor, with one hand propping up her cheek, lazily turned her face towards Patricia: “Ms. Howard, you know that Balfour’s staff need to get to work on time, right? Don’t you know that Theo also needs to get to work early?”
Patricia looked a bit wronged, her eyes downcast, looking even more innocent and delicate, “Ellinor, that’s not what I meant I just think that Theo, as the top leader of the company, wouldn’t be blamed if he’s a little late. But Quinton is an employee, he needs to check in at the company. The rules at Balfour’s are strict, so he would be fired if he’s late”
Ellinor gave a slight smile, “You’re so considerate, always thinking about others. It’s no wonder they’re all willing to give their all for you! But you’re also a little naive! Don’t forget that Balfour sent him here on business today. If he’s late to the office, it’s just because he’s on official business, he naturally won’t be fined. If Balfour was really that harsh on his own people, I don’t think he would have stuck with Balfour for so many years!”
With that, Ellinor let out a yawn, “But, if Mr. Blanchet is willing to give you a ride, I don’t mind, after all, it’s on your way!”
She turned her head to Theo, raising an eyebrow playfully, “Right, Theo?”
Theo looked at Ellinor. She clearly knew he didn’t want to. She was obviously on purpose!
He didn’t take the bait from Ellinor, instead he looked up and orders, “Collin, you take Ms. Howard.”
Collin immediately took the order, “Yes!”
Hearing this, Patricia trembled a little, looking sad, “Theo, aren’t you going to the office today? You could just give me a lift on your way, there’s no need to trouble Collin..”
Theo’s attitude was indifferent, pointing to Ellinor next to him, “She will be jealous, it’s not convenient.”
Ellinor was shocked.
Hello? Who’s jealous here? Theo was really not playing fair, to shake off the ‘life saver moral bind, he even labels her with the hat of jealousy!
Patricia was taken aback, looking hurt, and wanting to say something…
But Collin had already come over and interrupted her, raising his hand in an inviting gesture, ‘Ms. Howard, please come with me, I’ll take you home now”
Patricia could only smile awkwardly, a hint of reluctance in her eyes, but she tried to be polite and understanding, “Alright, Theo, sorry for the disturbance, I’ll go with Collin
now.”
Theo nodded, not lingering on her.
Patricia gritted her teeth, “Ellinor, see you, I’ll come to play with you next time!”
“Take care.”
Patricia, with a hint of disappointment, followed Collin out, and Quinton wisely took his leave as well.
