Chapter 465
She had been playing her emotional cards long before this, always openly unilaterally declaring her affection for Balfour.
With a confident smile, Haillie announced, “Not now, but definitely in the futurel Patricia promised me she would accept me as family in the future! And since Balfour respects Patricia’s opinions, isn’t the outcome clear?”
“Who’s going to be whose family? Balfour’s cold voice suddenly echoed.
Haillie and Ellinor both froze, turning their heads to the source of the sound.
Balfour looked like he’d just returned from outside, his coat was casually draped over his arm and his every moverment was graceful and dignified
He strolled over and his eyes landed on Haillie. A slight frown appeared on his face, “What brings you here? Need something?”
Haillie’s face was less fiery than when she was questioning Ellinor earlier. She gently and wisely looked at Balfour, softly replying. “Balfour, I specifically came to thank you. for saving me yesterday. Also, I guess you haven’t had lunch yet, so I brought you some of your favorite dishes. Eat up before they get cold”
Balfour glanced at the food container in her hand. “You don’t need to go through all that trouble, the company has a cafeteria”
Haillie shook her head, lovingly saying, ‘Eating cafeteria food all the time isn’t good for your health! These meals are all homemade by me and are low in oil and salt. Patricia suggested this, she said you’ve been looking tired from working so hard recently and asked me to cook some good food for you. Balfour, you aren’t going to reject Patricia’s good intentions, are you?”
Balfour then nodded slightly. “Bring it in.”
After saying that, he walked past Haillie, coldly heading towards his office.
Before pushing open the door to his office, Balfour stopped, turning his head towards the secretary’s desk at the office entrance, “Ms. Mendoza, get me a cup of coffee.”
Ellinor stood up, bowing as she responded, “Sure, Mr. Howard”
Once Balfour had entered his office, Haillie once again looked at Ellinor with hostility, grumpily saying, “Do you even know Balfour’s taste? Do you know what kind of coffee
he likes?”
Ellinor honestly shook her head, “I don’t know, it’s my first day at work, and I don’t know the boss’s preferences yet!”
Haillie gave Ellinor a dissatisfied look, “If I didn’t worry about you messing up the coffee and ruining Balfour’s mood, I wouldn’t tell you! Remember, Balfour likes it sweet, he always adds ten cubes of sugar and two portions of milk to his coffee, got it?”
Ellinor noted it down. “Okay, I got it; thank you for telling me.”
Haillie didn’t want to bother with Ellinor anymore and she didn’t want to waste her precious alone time with Balfour, so she walked with graceful steps into the CEO’s office, holding the food container.
The moment she walked in, a hint of anticipation and a cunning smile were on Haillie’s face. She gave Ellinor a sideways glance.
Balfour hated sugar and milk in his coffee, there’s definitely going to be some drama!
When Ellinor brought in the coffee with sugar and milk, it will definitely upset Balfour, he will scold her and hopefully cause her to leave the Howard Group immediately.
This way, she could prevent the sly Ellinor from seducing her Balfour, just like she did with Theo before.
