Chapter 489
He was Patricia’s cousin, so he guessed that made him part of the Howard clan
Being a Howard was like having a badge of honor, and he wanted a piece of that action too.
Ellinor looked at York Mayes, noticing his connection to the Howards. He didn’t seem too bright, so she figured she might be able to get some info about the Howards from him.
A sharp cookie like Balfour was always on his toes, so she wouldn’t be able to get a peep out of him.
With this in mind, Ellinor gave York Mayes a friendly smile, “Hi, nice to meet you.”
York Mayes was charmed by Ellinor’s smile, ‘Nice to meet you too! What should I call you?”
Ellinor replied, “Just call me Ms. Mendoza.
“Ms. Mendoza, you can call me York!” York Mayes tentatively asked, “By the way, Ms. Mendoza, is that jacket you’re wearing your boyfriend’s?
If she had a boyfriend, especially one with a high profile, he’d have to tread lightly.
Ellinor answered honestly. “Not a boyfriend! I came with my boss, he’s a gentleman and was kind enough to lend me his coat
York Mayes grinned, satisfied, “Oh, I see! My date ditched me for the dance floor! Ms. Mendoza, looks like we re both being used, huh?”
“Yeah, looks like it!”
“Ms. Mendoza, is this your first time at Pearl Moon? If you’re free, I could give you a tour here.”
“Really? I heard Pearl Moon doesn’t let just anyone wander around and wants people to stay in the ballroom”
York Mayes was stoked to see that Ellinor was willing to go with him.
Ellinor thought York Mayes was just hitting on her and was oblivious to his ulterior motives.
She really wanted to explore Pearl Moon, hoping it might trigger some memories from her past.
But because of her status, she couldn’t just roam around, if caught, it would raise Balfours suspicion and possibly cost her job.
However, if one of the Howards were to guide her, that’d be a different story
York Mayes earnestly said. “Of course, Pearl Moon belongs to the Howards, there’s no place off-limits to me!
Ellinor nodded, “Alright, please show me around then ”
York Mayes thought this woman was easy to get along with, quickly agreeing to go with him as if she were accepting his invitation.
Haillie said this woman knew how to have a good time and it seemed like she was correct.
She seemed innocent, but probably knew how to let loose more than anyone else.
He liked that type of woman, it gave him a thrill.
York Mayes was itching to show Ellinor around and lead her upstairs to the second floor of the ballroom.
He remembered that the second floor of Pearl Moon had many vacant rooms, each with a big bed that was spacious and comfy.
