Chapter 495
Balfour gave Ellinor a sideways glance. He noticed her in just a cocktail dress and frowned, ‘Ms. Mendoza, where’s your coat?”
Ellinor looked at her bare shoulders, suddenly realizing her coat was missing. Oh, crap!
Turned out she had lost it when she climbed out of the bathroom window into the next room.
Ever since she got pregnant, she was no longer as agile as before. This kind of blunder was not supposed to happen.
Now that the cat was out of the bag, she had to come up with an excuse, I’m sorry, Mr. Howard. I accidentally got your coat dirty and left it downstairs. I’ll compensate you, the finance department can deduct it from my salary”
Feeling like he nearly jumped the gun when he accused her, Balfour felt a bit embarrassed and waved it off, “No biggie, it’s just a coat.”
“Thank you, Mr Howard Ellinor let out a sigh of relief.
Patricia gritted her teeth on the side. That was the expensive, limited edition coat she gifted Balfour
He just shrugged off the gift she gave him for Ellinor? She totally underestimated Ellinor, Who knew she could have Balfour eating out of her hand.
“Whats going on? Why is everyone gathered here? What happened?”
An elegant woman’s voice rang out. Her voice was authoritative yet gentle and exuded a mature sophistication.
Someone respectfully called out, “Aunt Bluna!”
A woman in her thirties emerged, adorning a navy blue mermaid evening gown, and exuding calm and grandeur
Patricia excitedly ran up, sweetly calling. “Aunt Bluna!”
Haillie couldn’t help but compliment her. “Aunt Bluna, your gown is absolutely gorgeous tonight. It suits you perfectly and makes you look radiant and grand!”
Aunt Bluna merely glanced at Haillie, ignoring the grinning Patricia, and turned to Balfour, “Balfour, what’s going on? Why is everyone gathered here?” –
Balfour explained, “Aunt Bluna, it’s nothing Just a little misunderstanding earlier. It’s all sorted out now.”
Aunt Bluna had OCD and hated anyone messing up her order, including the order of her birthday party
“Balfour, who did you come with today? Where’s your date?”
Aunt Bluna suddenly seemed to notice something as her gaze landed on Ellinor, “Who is she? I don’t recall meeting her!”
Balfour introduced her calmly. “Aunt Bluna, she’s my date”
Ellinor, looking at the lavishly dressed woman, nodded respectfully, “Hello, I’m Mr. Howard’s date tonight and also his newly appointed secretary. My name is Ellinar.”
Aunt Bluna’s piercing gaze scrutinized Ellinor from head to toe, “Is that dress you’re wearing Comi’s latest model this year – Elf in the Mist?”
