Chapter 554
Ellinor nodded resolutely, “Yep! Your sister’s just playing dead, so don’t bother, because you can’t wake someone who’s pretending to be passed out! Mr. Howard, could you apologize to me on behalf of your sister?”
Balfour fell silent.
No one had ever dared to ask him to apologize so bluntly
At this moment. Theo, smoking not far away, smirked. His eyes squinted slightly, looking at Ellinor, who was demanding an apology from Balfour, both admiringly and mockingly.
That girl hadn’t changed a bit. No matter where she went or who she faced, she never backed down, never tolerated injustice, and always stood up for what she believed in
Balfour had met his match this time!
Theo exhaled a smoke ring, the more he admired her, the more annoyed he became.
Because she couldn’t care less about him, and she quietly left and even got married to someone else
At that time, Bartlett Rex’s eyes were filled with even more amusement
Ellinor looked like a sweet girl, but she had the guts to make her boss apologize to her. How interesting!
Balfour was silent for a long time. Seeing that Ellinor was neither joking nor backing down, he finally said coldly. “Sorry, Ms. Mendoza, we were wrong today. Are you satisfied now?”
Ellinor smiled, “Fair enough, I accept your apology! As compensation for misunderstanding me, could you please approve my half–day leave this afternoon, Mr. Howard?”
Balfour frowned and looked at her in disbelief.
Ellinor laughed, explaining. This incident has tired me out, so I want to go home and rest this afternoon. I believe Mr. Howard, being a reasonable man, will approve, right?”
She sure knew how to seize an opportunity.
Balfour snorted coldly, “If you want to go home and rest, then go. If you don’t want to go to the company, you can stay away forever.”
Ellinor put on a professional smile, “Don’t worry, I’ll be on time for work tomorrow. See you tomorrow, Mr. Howard!”
Balfour was completely dumbfounded.
Balfour glared at her for a minute. He had a certain admiration for her poise, but that didn’t mean he liked girls of her type.
Then Balfour walked straight past Ellinor and left.
Ellinor shrugged, not caring about Balfour’s attitude.
She chatted with the restaurant owner with a smile, “Sorry for the trouble. We’ll be leaving soon!”
“No, no…” The restaurant owner, not understanding the relationships and conflicts between these people, still smiled politely and said a few courteous
words.
Ellinor had drunk a lot of water and decided to go to the restroom once more. As she turned around, she noticed that the man who had been smoking nearby was gone. He must have left already.
Patricia had just passed out, so he must be worried and gone to take care of her.
With a faint smirk on her face, Ellinor slowly walked towards the restroom.
After leaving the restaurant, Ellinor was planning to take a taxi home but was blocked by two obviously luxury cars parked at the front door.
One was the vehicle Theo often drove, which was a limited–edition high–end business car.
The other was Bartlett’s streamlined sedan, which looked rather low–key but was also a high–priced luxury car.
However, what caught people’s attention was not just these two luxury cars, but their two owners.
With his hands in his pockets, Theo stood tall and handsome in front of his car, his face expressing a serious and cold demeanor. When he saw her coming out, he said to her coldly, “Get in!”
