Sophia was a real piece of work, wasnât she? She knew full well that she was friends with Ellinor, yet she deliberately brought up how Theo hadnât been mentioning Ellinor lately right in front of her. It was as if she was trying to seize power or something.
Couldnât take the power directly, huh?
Why go through Ellinorâs friend? Because she was betting her bottom dollar that her friend would tell everything to Ellinor right?
This pair were both sly as foxes!
âIf Mr. Blanchet doesnât want to spill, why do you think I would? Ms. Sophia, itâs a real treat to dine with you, but letâs not pretend weâre actual friends, okay?â
Sophia didnât even bat an eye at the pushback, her nerves were made of steel. She was still smiling and saying, âMs. Gipson, Iâm just curious, thereâs no need to be on high alert. Do you happen to know where Ellinor is right now?!
This caught the usually emotionless Theoâs attention, causing him to shoot a look at Ira Ida nearly jumped out of her skin. She should never underestimate Sophia.
She adjusted her glasses nonchalantly I wish I knew where she was! Itâs been ages since we last saw her, and weâre all worried sick, but she just wonât show up, probably because of someone sheâd rather avoid! So, we donât want to add to her miseryâ
Sophia feigned confusion: âSomeone Ellinor doesnât want to see? Ms. Gipson, youâre not implying Then, are you? Why wouldn t Ellinor want to see Theo? As far as know, heâs always been good to herâ
ida smiled and replied âAnd whatâs your standard for good? Just sweet talking? Ms. Sophia, if thatâs what you consider good, cherish it by all means! Ellinor doesnât care for empty wordsâ
Sophia frowned. âSee, I knew it. Ms. Gipson, you must know why Ellinor left Theo, night? Otherwise, you wouldnât be saying things like that, youâre speaking up for your good friend!â
At this point, Sophia turned to Theo. Theo, did you hear that? Ellinorâs good friend is not happy with you! It must be because Ellinorâs been complaining about you!â Idaâs heart skipped a beat, this woman really knew how to stir the pot.
But she didnât care about being manipulated anymore. She didnât care what Theo thought of her, and she couldnât care less about whatever Sophia said But Thedâs intense gaze did make Ida feel a bit uneasy. She forced a smile. âMr. Blanchet, why are you staring at me like that?â
Theo looked at her with a serious expression. âDo you know where Ellinor is or not?]
Idaâs heart was racing, this manâs gaze was so intense that it felt like he could see right through her.
She couldnât let her emotions affect Ellinor and ruin all her efforts Ida gathered herself and was now all smiles. âLike I said, I donât know, and neither does Chase. Weâre looking for her, but we have no leads.
How about you, Mr. Blanchet? Have you heard anything about Ellinor recently?â
Theoâs gaze darkened as he shook his head coldly. âNoâ
Ida sneered mockingly. âSeems like Ellinor really doesnât want to be found by a certain someone.
Because of this person, even Chase and I cant see her anymore! What a shame!â
Theoâs brow furrowed even more.
Sophiaâs eyes flickered âMs. Gipson, did Ellinor ever badmouth Theo to you before?â,
