âUhâhuh, yes!â Sheila replied in a sweet voice, excited as hell.
Damn, Mr. Blanchet was talking to her! His voice was so sexy, it was like music to her ears.
But the only reason he was talking to her was because of Ellinor, which was kind of a bummer.
Upon hearing Sheilaâs âyesâ, Theo furrowed his brows and glared at Ellinor again, his eyes full of mixed feelings.
Jonah turned his head with a smirk and shot a glance at his brother Theo, clearly intrigued.
Even though he didnât exactly know what was going on between these two, he wouldnât miss a chance to tease Ellinor. With a mischievous smile, he turned to Ellinor and asked, âYou know how to make tea?â
Ellinor kept her head down and shook it.
Sheila, however, frowned. She was pissed that all the attention from these top dogs was on Ellinor. So, she chuckled and said âMr. Wyton, my assistant here is a country bumpkin! Just look at her clothes; itâs clear she has no taste, let alone know the elegant art of teaâmaking!â
Jonah laughed it off, âNo worries if she doesnât; let her just make us some random teal Weâre bored of all the professional stuff, something simple might be a nice change!â
âOh, come onâ¦â Sheila was totally confused. What was so appealing about Ellinor, who was dressed so casually and had such simple makeup?
Since Mr. Wyton had made a request, Sheila couldnât refuse anymore. She turned to Ellinor, giving her a hidden glare, âQuit standing there like a lost puppy! Go learn how to make some tea for the bosses!â
Ellinor didnât want to, but she really had no choice.
With a sigh, she obediently went to make the tea.
Ellinor knew this was Jonahâs way of messing with her, they must have recognized her.
She remained calm and went through the normal teaâmaking process, casually using the tea set to make a pot of tea. Then, she poured out four cups and served them to the four men seated around the tea table.
The last cup was for Theo.
Throughout all this, she kept her head down and didnât look at any of them.
As long as there was no eye contact, thereâd be no need for any conversation, thus preventing Sheila from finding out they knew each other.
Just as she was about to put the last cup of tea in front of Theo, her hand was intercepted by a rough manâs hand.
It seemed like he was just reaching for the tea, but his coarse fingertips were pressing on hers, making it impossible for her to pull her hand back.
âLift your head.â
The manâs voice was calm yet intimidating.
Ellinor didnât lift her head, silently resisting him.
She really didnât want Sheila to find out they knew each other.
Knowing Sheila, if she found out, she would definitely stir up trouble.
Seeing Theoâs attention on Ellinor, even touching her hand, Sheila felt a surge of jealousy Feeling that something was off, Sheila couldnât help herself and started to question suspiciously, âMr.
Blanchet, why are you so interested in my assistant? Do you know her?â
Theo, looking at Ellinor, slowly opened his mouth.
