Chapter 463
Ellinor got the answer she wanted and wore a satisfied smile, ‘No problem, as long as that dude doesn’t pop up often, I can chill” Quinton found Ellinor a bit odd, and not knowing what was going on in her mind, he decided to leave her be and get going.
“Wait up! Quinton, I have another thing to discuss with you”
Ellinor stopped him again.
Quinton was getting a bit impatient. If you have something to say, just spill it all out!”
“Well, I don’t want the Blanchet family to know I’m working here, so could you help me keep my hiring info under wraps? I don’t want anyone to know I’m working at the Howard Group, is that cool?”
Quinton stared at Ellinor, puzzled for a moment, then said, “Sure, it’s no biggie.”
Ellinor bowed deeply to him and said very formally, “I’m counting on you then, thanks!”
Quinton was taken aback by her bow
He suddenly found that this Ms. Mendoza, when at work, really knew how to play by the rules and was not as snobbish as before.
“Alright, focus on your job, stop worrying about irrelevant stuff! Even though you’re hired, you can still get sacked! You need to get the hang of the work environment ASAP Mr. Howard might be back any time and give you orders; you better be ready!”
Ellinor nodded, “Thanks for the heads–up, I’ll work my butt off!”
Quinton was taken aback again; did he just remind her?
This chick really knew how to pat herself on the back.
After Quinton left, Ellinor sat alone at her desk, taking a breather.
Since she was two months pregnant, standing for too long made her back ache. For the first time, she truly appreciated how tough being a mom was.
Successfully getting hired at the Howard Group was a big step towards uncovering the truth about her past.
Apart from that, she had another task. She had to sneak into Balfour’s office when he wasn’t looking and snap a photo of the picture on his desk to keep a copy
For some reason, she could never remember her mom’s face.
Just yesterday, she saw the photo clearly, but by night, she couldn’t recall her mom’s face, only the blurred outline from her memory, no matter how hard she tried.
Yet her memory was excellent when it came to other things, which she found strange.
So, she decided to keep a copy of her mom’s photo so she could look at it every day and memorize her mom’s face.
Maybe her mom was still alive, and if she ever ran into her on the street, she didn’t want to miss her because she couldn’t recognize her.
Just as she was thinking about her mom, a shrill female voice rang out in front of her, ‘Ellinor, what are you doing here? You’re sitting at the CEO’s secretary’s desk!”
Ellinor snapped out of her thoughts, looked up, and recognized an old friend, Haillie Knotts.
Wasn’t it said that Haillie was arrested for suspected criminal activities? She hadn’t finished her sentence yet, when was she released?
Seeing Ellinor’s puzzled face, Haillie gave a smug and flirtatious laugh, “How’s that? Surprised to see me? Did you think I was still doing time?”
