Chapter 893
Although Chase was quite the joker, he was dead serious when it came to work. “Ellinor, no worries, I’ll have someone watch over this place every day.”
Ellinor trusted Chase’s abilities implicitly, but not being able to be there in person always left her a bit unsettled.
Chase chuckled when he saw Ellinore be more serious than casual, jokingly saying, “Ellinor, you seem to be really concerned about Mr. Blanchet. Look at how concerned you are about the safety of his future workplace.”
Ellinor gave him a pointed look, “I care about whether our results will satisfy the client. I can redraw blueprints, but you can’t just demolish and rebuild a building.”
Chase laughed and handed her an opened bottle of mineral water, “Okay, got it! I’m on watch here, so you don’t need to keep coming. You’re carrying a baby! Pregnant ladies should avoid construction sites.”
Just as Ellinor took the water bottle and was about to drink, she spotted a tall man in a sharp suit with neatly combed hair strolling over from a distance.
The man, followed by a few others, was being shown around the construction site by the site supervisor.
It was Theo!
Like a knee-jerk reaction, Ellinor quickly turned and hid behind a nearby truck.
Chase also ducked behind the truck with her.
On the other side, Theo halted, as if sensing that something was wrong. His sharp gaze landed on the truck not far away.
“Do you have any female workers on your team?”
Caught off guard, the supervisor scratched his head, “Female workers? Nah, ladies usually don’t do this kind of dirty and strenuous work.” Theo squinted his eyes, then shifted his gaze and followed the supervisor to another area.
Once Theo was out of sight, Chase peeked out to make sure that he was walking away, “Ellinor, why are you hiding? That’s your husband; are you still afraid he’ll see you?”
Ellinor leaned lazily against the truck, “He only knows I hold shares in Crescent Society; he doesn’t know the rest. I don’t want him to know my real situation in Crescent Society yet, nor that I, Moon, am the designer of the Blanchet Building.”
Chase was confused, “Didn’t you say trust is important in a relationship, Ellinor?”
Ellinor lifted her water bottle, took a big gulp, and then said, “Trust is mutual; one-sided trust is foolish.”
Chase sensed that something was wrong, “Did you quarrel with Mr. Blanchet?”
Ellinor replied, “No.”
“Then why…”
Just then, Chase’s mobile rang.
“Hold on, Ellinor, I need to take this call.”
Chase stepped away to answer his phone, “I’m at the site; what’s up? I’m not hungry; you eat. Just leave it on my desk; I’ll eat it later. Yeah, keep up the good work.”
After ending the call, Chase turned back, “Ellinor, where were we?”
Instead of answering, Ellinor countered, “Who was that?”
Chase shrugged and answered truthfully, “A clerk trying to get close to me. She has been bringing me food lately. I’m getting chubby; my abs are about to disappear!”
Ellinor frowned, “Stay away from her.”
Chase’s eyes flashed, “Oh? Ellinor, do you know her?”
