Chase let out a helpless sigh âSimple She climbed out of the office window and back in through the bathroom windowâ
Ida was shocked, âBut weâre on the 30th floor Chase just shrugged âRemember my climbing gear in the break room? Came in handy! Plus, you know how agile she is, this was a piece of cake for her Ida took off her glasses and rubbed her forehead, âWhat about the person inside?â
âThatâs your secretary She dressed up, put on the mask, and pretended to be busyâ
Ellinor is always so quickâwittedâ
Chase squinted, deep in thought. âWhy do you think sheâs so against Theo finding out sheâs Moon?*
Ida glanced at him, reminding him. âShe must have her reasons, letâs not jump to conclusions.â
Chase stroked his chin, âI donât buy that Theo has no feelings for her. Iâll test him out.â
Ida protested. What are you testing? Donât get Ellinor angry!â
âYou just wait and see. Iâll bring you good news!â Chase waved and strode off towards the elevator.
Inside the slowly descending elevator.
âHad lunch yet?â
Theoâs deep voice echoed in the enclosed space, making the atmosphere a bit tense.
Sheila blushed when she heard that, and she shyly replied. âNot yet! Have you, Mr. Blanchet?â
Theoâs eyes were cold, it was hard to tell who he was talking to Since it was just them, Theoâs secretary, and her assistant Ellinor in the lift, Sheila naturally assumed Mr. Blanchet was asking her.
But Theo didnât immediately respond to her Sheila decided to take the initiative. âIf you havenât eaten either, Mr. Blanchet, why donât I treat you to lunch? As an apology for my assistant scalding you last night!â
Theo still didnât answer immediately but glanced towards Ellinor, who was standing in the corner of the elevator.
Ellinor was leisurely checking her phone and wasnât even locking up.
After a while, Theo finally said slowly âSure.â
Sheila was over the moon when she heard Theo accept her invitation. Awesomel Mr. Blanchet agreed to have lunch with her!
This must mean Mr. Blanchet had some feelings for her, right? Otherwise, he wouldnât have accepted.
Just then, Ellinor looked up âSheila, can i take a break later? Iâm a bit tired, I want to go home and rest.â
Sheila, feeling irritated at Ellinorâs interruption, immediately agreed without thinking, âSure, go home and rest. You can have the afternoon off.â
Ellinor, who had predicted this response, nodded without surprise, âThank you.â
Theo was upset, Ellinor clearly didnât want to have lunch with him.
âWerenât you supposed to apologize? Why isnât Ellinor coming?â
Sheila was taken aback. While flustered, she quickly explained. âMr. Blanchet, my assistant wants to rest at home, I donât think we need to force her. I can apologize on her behalfâ¦
Theo retorted, âIt seems youâre not sincere about apologizing, never mind then.â
Sheila panicked, âNo, no! I am sincere!â
With that, she pulled Ellinor over. âEllinor, you were the one who scalded Mr. Blanchet yesterday, itâs your responsibility! So, you have to apologize to Mr. Blanchet over lunch, you can rest after that!
Ellinor frowned and reluctantly agreed Alright then
