Chapter 150: Chapter 150

Ellinor nervously stood up, “Chase, I need you to distract him. I need to sneak out; he can’t know I’m here!”

“Gotchal”

Chase immediately dropped his cheerful grin and went to do as Ellinor instructed.

Ellinor followed Chase to the office door and peeked through a crack to see what was going on outside.

She saw Theo stepping off the elevator, with Collin trailing right behind him.

With a smile. Chase stepped forward, ‘Mr. Blanchet, welcome! Sorry, we didn’t meet you downstairs”

Theo nodded nonchalantly. “No problem.”

Chase effortlessly turned to lead the way. “I heard from our general manager, Ms. Gipson, that you’re interested in our building’s architecture Would you like a tour of the building first?

Theo politely declined, “No need, I’ve already seen the ground floor structure. I just need to meet with Ms. Gipson and Moon right now”

Chase apologized, Tm sorry, but Ms. Gipson is in a meeting right now, and it might take a while. How about I take you to the rooftop in the meantime? The structure there is quite different from the ground floor, and you get a great view of the city!”

Theo didn’t change his expression, “No need, I can wait for Ms. Gipson in the reception room.”

Chase knew that if he pushed it any further, it might raise Theo’s suspicions.

So, he shot a helpless glance at the general manager’s office and politely said, “Alright then, Mr.

Blanchet, please follow me.”

Ellinor furrowed her brows when she saw Chase lead Theo into the reception room. She was stuck.

The reception room was on the way to the elevator or stairs from the general manager’s office, and it was surrounded by glass walls.

Theo would definitely spot her if she tried to leave.

But having Ida meet Theo directly in the reception room wouldn’t be appropriate either.

Theo was a big client who bid a billion, he deserved to be received in the office Ida suggested, “Why don’t you hide in the small break room in the back for now? It seems like Mr.

Blanchet is busy, he probably won’t stay here for long.”

Ellinor nodded, “Alright, I have no other choice.”

She grabbed a couple of snack packs Chase had just given her and retreated to the small break room in the back of the office.

Then Ida had the secretary invite Theo in.

“Mr. Blanchet, please have a seat.”

Theo gracefully sat down, and the secretary quickly served coffee.

They exchanged a few pleasantries, then got down to business Theo glanced around Ida’s desk, “Ms. Gipson, where is Moon, the chief designer of your group?”

Ida smiled apologetically, ‘Mr. Blanchet, I’m sorry, but Moon isn’t in the office today. You can leave your thoughts and requirements for the new building, and I will pass them on to Moon. Once the initial draft of the design is ready, I will send it to Blanchet Corporation for your review”

Theo leisurely lifted his coffee and raised an eyebrow. So, I’m paying this hefty design fee, but I can’t even meet the designer?”

Ida adjusted her gold–rimmed glasses, maintaining her smile, “That’s not what I meant; Moon really isn’t in today.”

Theo squinted slightly, “is that so? Why did I hear that she came in today?”

Ida’s face stiffened for a moment but quickly resumed its normalcy. “Oh? May I ask where you heard that, Mr. Blanchet?”

Theo took a sip of his coffee, “Just downstairs, your front desk staff was talking about Moon, saying she rarely comes in, but she did today.”

Ida fell silent.

Although Ellinor is the founder behind Crescent Society, the company’s employees think she’s just the contracted designer, Moon When Ellinor and Sheila arrived earlier, they were spotted by the front desk.

Whenever the girls at the front desk had some free time, they would gossip Ida helplessly said, “Since you’ve already heard, Mr. Blanchet, I won’t hide it any longer. Moon did come in today, but she’s not available to meet with clients right now. I hope you understand.”

Theo’s eyes grew colder, “Give me a reason.”
