Theo maneuvered around his desk to her side, naturally taking the cup of coffee from her hand and taking a sip. âHmm, where are you taking me later?â
âYouâll know when we get there. But first, let me fill you in on the companyâs progress over the past three years.â
Theo gently ruffled her hair. âNo need. I got the gist of it during the meeting. Now, you can just take me along.â
Ellinor looked up at him, feeling inwardly annoyed. He was flirting too much; his âtake me alongâ
sounded so suggestive. It was as if she were about to lead him into some mischief.
After brushing off his hand from her head, Ellinor stood up, grabbed his tie, and lightly tugged at him.
âThen letâs go.â
The man put down the coffee cup, letting the young woman lead him out of the CEOâs office.
The first one to be shocked was the secretary at the door.
The next ones stunned were the entire companyâs employees. They watched in astonishment and admiration until they saw Ellinor drag Mr. Blanchet into the elevator.
How fierce!
DING!
After the elevator door closed, Ellinor finally let go of his tie.
However, due to the tug, the manâs tie had tightened quite a bit. He straightened up and loosened it himself.
âMissy, youâre not leaving me any dignity. How am I supposed to manage the employees in the future?â
Ellinor glanced at him disdainfully. âYou didnât leave me any dignity yesterday or today!â
Theo raised an eyebrow. âWhat do you mean? When did I not leave you any dignity?â
Ellinor huffed. âI wonât even mention yesterday. This morning, you told Grandma to let me sleep in because I was tired. You deliberately made her misunderstandâ¦â
The man laughed, âMisunderstand what? Hmm?â
Ellinor had to admit that when it came to shamelessness, she couldnât compete with this man.
âNothing!â
Theo wrapped an arm around her shoulder and bent down to whisper in her ear. âSo letting you sleep in was wrong? Alright, Iâll try not to let you sleep at all next time and keep you up all night. Is that better?â
Ellinor felt goosebumps. âEnough! Can you be serious? Thereâs a camera in the elevator. Arenât you afraid your employees will see, and itâll affect your image?â
Theo didnât mind being seen. He didnât think flirting with his wife was anything to be ashamed of. But he knew if he kept teasing her, she might get angry and bite. So, he stopped joking.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updatesâ¦
He straightened up and cleared his throat. âOkay, Iâll be serious. Darling, where are we going next?â
âAstoria General Hospital.â
After hearing that they were going to the hospital, Theoâs face fell. âWhatâs wrong? Why are we going to the hospital? Are you not feeling well? Let me check!â
Ellinor shook her head. âIâm fine. Iâm just taking you to meet someone.â
DING!
The elevator door opened, and Ellinor took his hand, leading him out and into the car.
Astoria General Hospital.
འ༠༢ སེའའའEver since Marlinie reunited with her daughter, her condition had improved significantly. However, there was also a negative impact. She would stare blankly at the door, hoping her daughter would come.
Just as Bertha brought a bowl of porridge to Marlinje, she saw her not taking it but staring straight at the door of the ward. She sighed. âMarlinie, stop looking. Ellinor must be busy. Sheâll come when sheâs done.â
Marlinie snapped back to reality and took the porridge from her friend. âHmm.â
Bertha shook her head helplessly and sat down on a nearby chair.
