After passionately explaining her purpose, Sheila didnât get a peep out of Theo, and her smile was starting to look a little frozen Theoâs icy expression was enough to make anyone back off She didnât dare force a conversation, so she tried to ease the awkwardness by turning to Ida, who had come out to see Theo off âMs. Gipson, whereâs my assistant? I need her to get something for meâ
A hint of trouble flashed through Idaâs eyes. Adjusting her gold rimmed glasses, she replied calmly.
âMs. Mendoza, your assistant just leftâ
Sheila frowned in annoyance. âLeft? Where did she go? She didnât even wait for me to come back!â
Ida just gave a polite smile, showing no concern, âI really donât knowâ
Sheila was already peeved that Ellinor was left alone to talk with Ida, and now she found out that she had left without a word. She was even more annoyed and immediately pulled out her phone to call Ellinor Ida tried to stop her, but it was already too late.
Soon, Ellinorâs phone rang from inside the officeâ¦.
Sheila was taken aback, âMs. Gipson, my assistantâs phone is ringing inside your office. Isnât she still in there?â
Ida looked a bit flustered and tried to cover it up with a smile, âMs Mendoza, your assistant really did leave. Maybe she just forgot her phone.â
Theo remembered the architect, Moon, with the familiar eyes behind her face mask!
He seemed to realize something and turned to go back to the office Ida stepped in front of the door, looking up at the customer, who wasnât much taller than her, âWhatâs wrong, Mr. Blanchet? Did you forget something too?â
Theo replied coldly, âI have a new idea about the building design and need to talk to Moon againâ
Ida chuckled. âJust let me know what you need, Mr. Blanchet, and I will pass it on to herâ
Theo asked, âWhy? Moon is inside, so why do I have to go through you? Are you afraid of something, Ms. Gipson?*
Ida quickly laughed it off, âYouâve got it all wrong, Mr. Blanchet. What could I possibly be hiding? Moon is our chief designer, and as you know, sheâs having a severe allergic reaction. Her doctor has repeatedly advised her to rest. If she gets sick, not only will your order not be completed, but it will also affect our company! So, as a caring boss. I just hope Moon can rest as much as possible and not be disturbedâ
Theo was stubborn, âI just have one question for Moon. It wonât take long. Please step aside, Ms.
Gipson!â
Theo was clearly getting impatient.
ida frowned and stood her ground, âMr. Blanchet, please donâtâ¦
While these two were at a standoff, a crisp voice suddenly came from the side.
âIâm hereââ
Upon hearing Ellinorâs voice, Theo and Ida both turned to look.
Ellinor strolled out from the left side of the office, even letting out a yawn.
Chase was trailing right behind her.
