Chapter 467
But seeing Balfour not being expecially nice to Ellinor was a bit of a consolation
Fortunately, Balfour had high standards and was not the type to fall for a country bumpkin like Ellinor
Unlike Theo What did he ever see in Ellinor in the first place?i
After Ellinor left, only Haillie and Balfour were left in the office.
A man and a woman alone in a room
It was the perfect time to bond and chit-chat
However despite waiting for a long time, Haillie didn’t get a word from Balfour
Even worse. Balfour seemed to have forgotten her existence
He was busy with his documents or tapping away on the computer keyboard
willie just watched her beloved man engrossed in his work, the more she watched, the more her heart fluttered. She wanted to get closer but didn’t dare disturb him
Balfour didn’t pause for a break until lunchtime.
Haillie was a bit worried, she couldn’t help but say, “Balfour, aren’t you hungry? It’s lunchtime, why not grab a bite before getting back to work?”
Balfour finally glanced at her, “Alright, thanks. Just leave the food there, I’ll eat when I’m hungry. You can go ahead, I’ll have Quinton deliver the lunch box to you late
Haillie felt a bit disheartened hearing Balfour subtly ask her to leave, but she didn’t want to go. She shook her head, “Balfour, don’t mind me. Patricia said she’d be coming over later and asked me to wait for her here.”
Balfour was cool as a cucumber, “Alright, suit yourself”
Haillie smiled and continued to sit on the sofa looking at the food she brought and feeling helpless
Although the lunch box was insulated, the food would still cool down over time.
Sigh, Balfour was still so cold towards her
She had liked Balfour since they were kids, but she couldn’t get through to his heart
Even though Balfour was somewhat nice to her because she was friends with Patricia, it all felt lukewarm, there was no real warmth.
Thankfully, Balfour was a clean living guy with no other women fussing around him.
So, Haillie always felt that as long as she hung in there, she would eventually win Balfour over
Besides, she had the support of her friend Patricia, which already put her ahead of other women.
Speaking of Patricia, she said she would come to Balfour’s office to see her, she should be arriving soon.
Hallie checked the time on her phone, opened the social app and sent Patricia a message, “Patricia, where are you?”
Patricia replied, “Haillie, I’m almost there. I’m a bit slow because I’m with the kid; wait for me a little longer and I’ll be there soon.”
Outside the CEOs office
Ellinor was busy translating Arabic documents when she suddenly heard a child’s voice
At first, she didn’t think much of it, assuming it was a false impression from watching too many parenting videos online during her pregnancy
Until she heard Patricia Howard’s soft voice again
“Ellinor”
Ellinor was slightly taken aback She looked up to see Patricia pushing a stroller in front of her desk.
In the stroller was a chubby little boy with a pacifier in his mouth, making baby noises
