Pollock took a seat and started to yammer nonâstop about his new film script, hoping to get these four big shots to invest in his movie.
As for Sheila, she sat adorably next to him, her gaze drifting towards Theo.
The more she looked at this handsome and dignified man, the more her heart fluttered. The more her heart fluttered, the more she felt a pang of regret.
Not too long ago, she almost married Mr. Blanchet. The Blanchet family even had their wedding procession at her doorstep, but she missed out, and it turned into a joke.
To this day, the enormous dowry given by the Blanchet family still sat in her house.
Imagine if she had married into the Blanchet family, she would now be Mrs. Blanchet, sitting next to Theo, and be the envy of all women.
Lost in these thoughts, Sheila was a bit dazed and accidentally knocked over her freshly brewed tea, spilling it on herself.
âYikes!â
Sheila jumped up, startled, and quickly started cleaning the tea off her âSheila, are you okay? Did you burn yourself?â Pollock asked with concern.
âNo, no. Iâm okay. Sheila, feeling a bit embarrassed over her clumsiness, quickly said. âEllinor, grab some napkins from my bag for me, quick!â
âAlright.â
As her assistant, Ellinor grabbed Sheilaâs bag, lowered her head, and searched for napkins, passing them to her once she found them.
Although she looked obedient, she was complaining inside.
Sheila actually called her by her name right here!
They must not have noticed, right?
Ellinor was hoping for the best. Her name wasnât particularly unique; many people had the same name, surely it wouldnât draw their attention.
Sheila was too worried about her dress to notice that the moment she shouted Ellinorâs name, the four men almost simultaneously turned their gazes towards her assistant.
âTheo, doesnât the name Ellinor sound familiar?â Jonah joked Theoâs gaze fell on the woman in the floral dress, as if trying to see right through her Ellinor felt his icy stare, but she kept her head down, not looking up.
Even if she had been discovered, she didnât want to acknowledge him here.
She didnât want too many people to know about her relationship with Theo, especially Sheila and the others. If they found out, it would be nothing but trouble.
Finally, Sheila finished cleaning her dress and looked up, intending to apologize for her clumsiness, only to find that all four men at the table were looking at Ellinor.
Whatâs going on?
Sheila was a bit annoyed, she had dressed Ellinor so plainly. How could she still attract male attention?
She was such a natural charmer that it was actually annoying!
Sheila managed to squeeze out a smile and changed the subject. âWhy are all of you looking at my assistant? Is it because her outfit is not good and you guys find it funny?â Theoâs icy gaze switched to Sheila, his eyes slightly narrowed, âSheâs your assistant?â
