Chapter 523
Bartlett said eamestly, “It’s because of Theo. Patricia Howard loves him deeply and she can’t live without him. Your appearance might shake Patricia’s place in his
heart.”
Ellinor rolled her eyes. “They already have a child, what can I possibly threaten? You guys worry too much, 1, Ellinor, don’t need a man that badly, and I’m definitely not the type to ruin someone else’s family!”
Bartlett was stunned for a while and looked at her, a bit surprised
Ellinor felt his gaze turn a bit weird and asked, “What’s up? Why are you looking at me like that?”
Bartlett came back to his senses and smiled, “Nothing, let’s go. This afternoon I’ll take you to our mall, maybe we can grab a bite together?”
Ellinor refused outright, I’m not going; I have work to do!”
Bartlett lightly tapped the table, “This is also part of your job. Many of your company’s products are sold in our Rex Enterprises chain stores. As the sales manager, you should get to know the market! I’ve already spoken to Mr. Howard and told him you’d be going out with me to do some market research this afternoon”
Ellinor was speechless
Rex Department Store.
Bartlett raised his hand, pointed to a row of snacks on the shelf, and introduced them to Ellinor, “Look, Ellinor, these are all products of your Howard Group. They’ve been selling quite well in our store!”
Ellinor looked seriously at the array of snacks and was a bit surprised, “So, the Howard Group also produces food?”
“The Howard Group’s snacks taste great, but food is not the company’s main business, it doesn’t make a lot of profit. It’s normal for you to not know since you just joined. Balfour has a soft spot for his snack factories because his sister always loves eating their own snacks, so over the years, the Howard Group has been treating food production as a sentiment, and put a lot of heart into it.”
As he spoke, Bartlett grabbed a shopping basket, picked some snacks into the basket, then grabbed a pack of cookies, opened the package, took out one, and handed it to her, “This is a classic sandwich cookie made by the Howard Group. Want a taste?”
Ellinor took the cookie, took a bite, and her pupils suddenly shrank.
The taste of the cookie seemed to trigger something.
A tangled thread in her mind seemed to suddenly straighten, then snap back.
At the same time, many chaotic images flashed through her mind, and quickly, they were cut off again.
She instinctively furrowed her brows as her head started to ache.
Bartlett noticed something was off and looked at her with concern, “What’s wrong, Ellinor?”
Ellinor came back to her senses and shook her head, “Nothing, just feel like the taste of this cookie is a bit familiar
“Oh, then you must have had it somewhere before; after all, it’s a best–selling cookie.”
Ellinor mused, “Yeah, maybe”
As they were walking around, a sweet voice came from behind them, “Ellinor?”
Without turning her head, Ellinor knew it was Patricia’s voice.
She was annoyed and didn’t feel like dealing with the pretentious Patricia.
When she turned around, Patricia was holding her child, and Theo was standing next to them with his hands in his pockets, standing relaxed and straight. His sculpted and handsome face showed no emotion.
They looked like a perfect family of three.
