Thea handed her a tissue, his tone full of helplessness and seriousness, reminding her, âSlow down, nobodyâs going to snatch your food Elinor struggled to swallow the food in her mouth, took the tissue and wiped her mouth, then awkwardly turned her face away from him and said, âMr. Blanchet! Please stop bringing up last night!â
âWhy?â Theoâs eyes sparkled with a hint of sarcastic humor Is Ms. Mendoza feeling embarrassed?â
Elinor said unhappily. Iâm not embarrassed, I just donât want to remember!â
Donât want to remember?
Theo stared at her for two seconds, smiled, and said, âMs. Mendoza, your selfless contribution last night was a good deed, you should cherish the memoryââ
Hearing his sarcastic words, Elinorâs cheeks immediately turned red, blinking in embarrassmentâ¦
He was clearly messing with her on purpose!
If it wasnât for saving him, she wouldnât have done that last night.
Theo looked at her blushing face.
â
He smiled, stopped teasing her, and asked seriously: âAny plans for tomorrow? If not, come with me to the Mountain Racecourse.â
With the change of topic, Elinor finally dared to look at him and asked doubtfully, âMountain Racecourse? Do I have to go?â
Theo looked at her reluctant face and said, âDo you have anything else to do tomorrow?â
Elinor shook her head and said, âNo, but I donât want to go out.â
Theo said seriously. âIf you have nothing else to do, just come with me. Youâre just going to sleep if you stay at home.â
Clearly, he was not asking for her opinion, he was just informing her!
Oh well, since theyâre in this together, they better cooperate!
Elinor sighed. âMr. Blanchet, do I have to play along with you again tomorrow?â
Theoâs eyes narrowed coldly. âAt this point, is that all you can think about acting?â
Elinor laughed âThen what else can you have me do? Are you asking me out on a real date?â
A date?
Theo didnât care, picked up the cup on the table, and calmly took a sip of water. âReal or fake, weâve been through it, havenât we?â
Elinor was choked by his words again: âMr. Blanchet, youâ¦youâre bringing that up again!â
Her cheeks, which had just returned to normal, were now as red as a monkeyâs butt at his words.
Seeing her cheeks turn red with embarrassment, Theo frowned and gently patted her back, afraid she might really choke on her food.
âLetâs not talk about it anymore. Get up early tomorrow, Iâll take you outâ
Heâs taking her out? Elinor couldnât believe what she was hearing, wondering if she had misheardâ¦.
His mood really changed like the wind!
âOkay, I got it!â
After saying that, she lowered her head and focused on her meal, not talking to him anymore!
Otherwise, after a few words, the topic would go back to last nightâs events.
After finishing her meal, Elinor went back to her room.
Theo went to his study to deal with some work, and by the time he finished, it was already late at night.
He was about to head to his room for some rest when he found the bedroom door locked.
Elinor had actually locked him out!
Theo felt helpless, he could have summoned someone to get the key and open the door, but then he thought, Never mind.
