Chapter 484
Next evening.
Most of the employees at the Howard Group had called it a day and only Ellinor was left. She went to the washroom and changed into the formal outfit Balfour had asked her to wear the day before.
After dinner last night, Ida took her to a high-end custom dress studio and helped her pick out this elegant and exquisite evening dress. It had a one-word collar design, a veil texture, and gave off a hazy purple hue. The overall design was filled with an elfin vibe.
Most importantly, the dress wasn’t too long, so it didn’t feel cumbersome to wear, which was right up her alley.
After changing, Ellinor went back to her desk to wait for Balfour.
Twenty minutes later, Balfour stepped out of the president’s office.
Ellinor stood up and bowed to him with an extremely professional attitude, “Mr. Howard”
Balfour glanced at her. However, when he saw her in the little dress, his gaze lingered, a warm color appeared on his face, and something in his heart felt gently touched
Ellinor felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, “Mr. Howard?”
Balfour came back to his senses and said appreciatively, “Hmm, not bad”
Ellinor was slightly taken aback, then she smiled naturally, “Mr. Howard, are you complimenting my dress or my taste in choosing it?
“Both are good.’ Balfour praised her generously, ‘Pack up your stuff and come with me.”
“Okay, Mr. Howard.” Ellinor had already packed up in advance.
She followed Balfour and together they entered the elevator.
When they reached the ground floor, the driver and Quinton were waiting at the entrance Quinton was stunned to see Ellinor following Balfour out.
Quinton already knew that Ellinor was beautiful, but he didn’t expect her to look this good all dressed up. Her aura was so outstanding that it even surpassed that of Ms.
Howard!
At this moment, there was only one phrase in Quinton’s mind to describe Ellinor-She was like an elf that descended from heaven.
Balfour coughed
Quinton came back to his senses and quickly opened the car door for Balfour
Balfour got in the car and Ellinor also sat in the back seat. With the driver and Quinton in the front seats, she had no choice but to sit in the back.
As the car drove on, Ellinor was sitting more formally than usual to avoid looking ungraceful.
Balfour scrolled through his phone for a while, glanced at Ellinor sitting primly, and casually said, “Ms. Mendoza, are you dressed up so grandly to find new targets at the banquet?”
Ellinor didn’t appreciate Balfour’s malicious speculation. She gave a cold laugh, ‘Mr. Howard, if it weren’t for you insisting that I dress formally. I’d prefer to wear my usual clothes. To be honest, this dress isnt comfortable.”
“As for the new targets you’re talking about… you have the right to speculate, but I’m innocent. If you don’t trust me, no explanation from me would change that. So, I choose not to explain. As long as you’re happy
Balfour put away his phone and looked at the eloquent Ellinor. He thought she had a kind of indescribable cuteness
However, he was a bit worried about the dress she was wearing, which looked very suitable for her.
Since she was all dressed up and attractive, Ellinor might get harassed by some immature boys
