Chapter 466
Ellinor Mendoza tapped on the office door and then walked in, placing a freshly brewed cup of hot coffee in front of Balfour Howard
“Mm.”
Balfour was deeply engrossed in some documents, absentmindedly taking a sip of his coffee without looking away from his work
Haillie, sitting on the office sofa, was eagerly watching Balfour, sure that he would react angrily to the overly sweet and milky coffee and scold Ellinor But no reaction came. Balfour simply took another sip of his coffee, his face expressionless.
What the hell?
Haillie frowned. Her hopeful expression turned into one of disappointment. Had Balfour changed his taste? Impossible!
Meanwhile, Ellinor stood by Balfour’s desk, stealing glances at a certain picture frame.
Balfour took another sip of his coffee and noticed his new secretary still standing there. Annoyed, he said, “What are you still doing here? Get out!” Ellinor nodded and lowered her head “Alright, Mr. Howard
She then walked over to the guest area with the tray, bending over to place another cup of coffee on the table. ‘Haillie, have some coffee” She offered with a smile. “Thanks. Haillie awkwardly replied, maintaining her politeness in front of Balfour. But her eyes were fixed on Ellinor as she whispered, “Didn’t you add sugar and milk to Balfour’s coffee?’
“I didn’t.” Ellinor replied in a low voice
Haillie gritted her teeth “Why not? Didn’t I tell you his tastes?”
Ellinor chuckled. ‘Haillie, did you really think I would trust a suggestion from someone who clearly doesn’t like me?”
Haillie was speechless, frustrated, but helpless. Ellinor was not easy to fool, she should have known better. Damn it!
Ellinor then explained to Haillie, “Do you know why I brought in two cups of coffee? One cup was made according to your suggestion, with lots of sugar and milk, and the other was black. I didn’t completely distrust you, Haillie. In case you were actually being considerate and I misunderstood you, I could switch the coffee so Mr. Howard wouldn’t have to drink something he doesn’t like.”
Unfortunately, Haillie was still hostile.
“So, enjoy this cup of excessively sweet and milky coffee, Hailliel
Haillie’s face was turning sour. “You…”
Ellinor stood up straight, smiled at her, and said in a louder voice. ‘Haillie, enjoy your coffee. If you need another cup, just let me know.”
She then turned away and walked out of the room.
Haillie was fuming and clenching her fists tightly. But she couldn’t express her anger.
Hold on
Balfour suddenly called Ellinor back.
Ellinor paused, turning to face Balfour. ‘Yes, Mr. Howard?
Balfour tossed a folder onto his desk. ‘Translate this document into Arabic and email it to our counterparts”
“Sure, Mr. Howard Ellinor promptly picked up the folder and got to work.
Haillie was left disappointed. She did not see Balfour scold Ellinor as she had hoped and instead was subtly mocked by Ellinor, which left her feeling frustrated,
