Unable to break free from Theoâs large hand, Ellinor, in a moment of desperation, slapped him across the face Collin blocked the doorway in the stairwell, but Sheila altempted to push her way in!
The more he tried to stop her, the more curious she became She was determined to see what Mr.
Blanchet was doing inside and if he was the only one there. Collin couldnât tolerate it any longer and angrily said, âMs. Mendoza, if you keep barging in like this, donât blame me for being rude to you!â
Sheila didnât consider Collin important. In her eyes, Mr. Blanchetâs secretary was nothing more than her assistant She had never given assistants much thought, and similarly, how could Mr. Blanchet possibly consider a secretary important!
Just a secretary, daring to threaten her in the face. Once she won Mr. Blanchetâs heart, she would be the first to have him firedâ
âIf you dare to touch me, Iâll shout sexual harassment!â
Youâ¦
Collin was speechless with anger at Sheila!
Realizing that her words had an effect on Collin, Sheila had an idea. She deliberately approached him, standing tall, trying to intimidate him with her chestâ¦
Collin couldnât avoid it and felt uncomfortable all over.
He couldnât handle such despicable tactics, and he couldnât really lay a hand on a womanâ¦.
Seizing the moment when Collin was trying to evade her, Sheila found an opportunity and pushed open the door, barging in!
Once inside, what she saw wasâ¦
Theoâs tall figure lazily leaning against the wall in the stairwell, looking relaxed like an emperor. He held a freshly lit cigarette between his fingers, taking a drag and exhaling smokeâ¦
Sheila was deeply captivated by Theoâs mature and handsome profile while he smoked. It took her a while to come back to her senses. âMr. Blanchet, why are you here alone? Arenât you going back to have dinner?â
Theo raised an eyebrow and glanced at her slowly. âIâm smoking.â
Sheila smiled lightly âOh, I see⦠Then after you finish smoking, letâs go back together for dinner.
Otherwise, the food will get cold.
Theo flicked the cigarette ash and said indifferently, âYou go back first.â
Even the way Theo flicked the cigarette ash was so cool that it made Sheilaâs heart race. She suppressed her infatuated side and put on a gentle and considerate look. âItâs okay, I can wait for you to go back together. Otherwise, I canât eat alone!â
âYou can eat first, he said coldly Sheila thought Theo was concerned about her being hungry and shyly shook her head. âNo, Iâm not hungry yet! Iâll wait for you. Iâll be fine!â
Theo fell annoyed, furrowed his brow, extinguished the cigarette, stood up, and walked toward the door. âThen letâs go.â
Sheila was taken aback, suddenly feeling nervous!
Oh my, Mr. Blanchet stopped smoking so that she wouldnât go hungry!
Lost in her excitement, she didnât notice the other situation, and from her angle, she couldnât see the lingering palm print on the left side of Theoâs faceâ¦
After Sheila followed Theo out of the stairwell, Collin closed the door to the stairwell.
At this moment, Ellinor sat on the lower step of the next floor, her palm still throbbing with painâ¦
