Chapter 900
Ellinor didn’t even bat an eye at her and didn’t even glance her way. She just lifted her hand and used her pinky to dig in her ear, as if she were just hearing some annoying noise.
This laid-back attitude pissed the female employee off even more. She immediately grabbed Ellinor’s arm. “Hey! I’ve been talking to you for ages; are you deaf? You haven’t even said a word back? You’re being so bloody rude!”
Just as the elevator doors opened. A man who was about to step in saw the scene inside and immediately became serious.
Knowing that his sister was downstairs, Balfour was anxiously waiting and worried that Ellinor might leave. He was about to go down and meet her when he saw this scene in the elevator.
“What are you doing?” Balfour’s voice was low and cold.
The female employee was startled, turning around to see her boss looking at her. She felt awkward and quickly tried to explain, “Mr. Howard, do you remember her? You fired her before; who knows why she’s back today? I asked her, but she wouldn’t answer. It’s really suspicious! I think she might be here to steal our trade secrets, so I…”
“Let her go.” Balfour’s voice was even lower, cutting her off before she could finish.
The stern tone scared the employee, and she immediately let go.
Balfour walked into the elevator, came in front of Ellinor, and gently checked her hand.
Balfour’s expression darkened after seeing that his sister’s wrist was all red from the employee’s hold. He turned around and asked harshly, “Which department are you from?”
The female employee was lost and slightly upset, “Um… Mr. Howard, I used to be your secretary, then got transferred to the marketing department. Don’t you remember me?”
“Pack your things and leave.” Balfour didn’t hesitate a second before coldly announcing this to her.
The female employee was stunned; her eyes were wide with fear, “Mr. Howard? I…”
“Out!” Balfour lost his patience, not wanting to hear another word from her.
Then he turned to his sister, his voice immediately softening, “What took you so long? Had lunch yet?”
Ellinor pulled her hand out of Balfour’s grasp, coldly replying, “Not yet; I came here for lunch.”
Balfour wasn’t upset by her indifference and continued to be gentle, “Hmm, I knew you weren’t here to see me. Come on, let’s go have lunch.” Ellinor frowned, not really wanting to go to the cafeteria with Balfour, but she knew she couldn’t shake him off here, so she didn’t struggle and followed him.
The female employee was still standing there, frozen.
Mr. Howard fired her? But why?
Was it because she was rude to Ellinor?
But didn’t Mr. Howard dislike Ellinor before? He even fired her himself.
What on earth was going on?
Mr. Howard’s attitude towards Ellinor today was so gentle that it looked like he was afraid to upset her.
As the female employee was most confused, Patricia slowly walked up to her, looking serious. She squinted her eyes that were filled with confusion and dissatisfaction towards the direction Balfour and Ellinor went.
