Chapter 452
Patricia knew it was Theo coming to check on things, but she didn’t want him to see Ellinor again
After a moment of thought, a sly grin crossed Patricia’s face and she loudly said, “Balfour, when did you start keeping a cat in your office? The poor thing just choked on some fish it was eating. Good thing it coughed it up, or we could’ve had a real situation on our hands! You need to be careful not to feed such a small cat fish!
Balfour got the hint from Patricia’s words and responded, “Ah, my bad, first time owning a cat. I’ll keep that in mind.”
With Balfour’s cooperation, Patricia threw Ellinor a cautionary look, then stepped out from behind the bookshelf, blocking Theo’s path. She feigned innocence, saying ‘Mr. Blanchet, Balfour just got a kitten. I went over and it hid, I can’t see it now!”
Theo glanced at Patricia, then his stern gaze turned to the row of bookshelves, filled with suspicion.
Ellinor felt the threat. She took a deep breath to suppress her nausea
Worried that Theo might come over, she forced a smile and went along with Patricia’s story, softly meowing “Meow meow~”
“I’m starving! Balfour, Mr. Blanchet and I are heading to the restaurant. Don’t forget to join us when you’re done!” Patricia said, tugging at Theo’s sleeve, “Mr. Blanchet, let’s
gol”
Hearing the meowing. Theo’s deep gaze dimmed a bit. He withdrew his gaze and left with Patricia.
Balfour was left alone in the office.
He walked back to his chair and lazily sat down “Come on out, kitten.”
Ellinor emerged from behind the bookshelves with her face calm again.
Balfour looked at her sideways, ‘Ms. Mendoza, what were you hiding from?”
“Nothing. I just didn’t want to see certain people.”
Balfour pondered for a moment, then purposely asked. “You didn’t want to see Theo? Why?”
Ellinor didn’t want to explain, “No reason, I just didn’t want to see him. There’s no need to pry. Patricia didn’t want me to see Mr. Blanchet just now, did she?”
Balfour leaned back in his chair, his posture exuding contempt for his subordinates, yet he had a coldly elegant smirk.
“Ms. Mendoza, as long as you know, Patricia and Theo have been getting along very well recently, as you’ve surely noticed.
So, I hope you can keep this in mind and stay away from her boyfriend. Stop meddling in other people’s relationships.”
Ellinor frowned, when did she interfere with anyone’s relationship?
The only reason she had to marry Mr. Blanchet was because she was forced to.
Even if she did develop some feelings for Theo afterwards, that was because Theo lied to her.
Theo had told her that Patricia was just his lifesaver, nothing more.
She believed him, so she….
