Patricia was eyeing her, coming on strong. âYouâre Ellinor, arenât you?â
Ellinor gave a slight nod âYeah, thatâs meâ
Is she trying to pick a fight with me?
Patricia walked up to Ellinor and surprisingly took her hands warmly. Im sorry, I thought you were a guestâ¦
Being uncomfortable with physical contact with a stranger, Ellinor coolly withdrew her hand. She gave a light smile. âNo worries; we havenât met before, so, normally you wouldnât recognize meâ
Patricia didnât seem to mind Ellinorâs withdrawal and smiled innocently âEllinor, when I was abroad, Theo often mentioned you on the phone!â
Ellinor raised an eyebrow âOh really? What has Mr. Blanchet been saying about me?â
She bet itâs not anything good Patricia looked at Ellinor with admiration. âTheo often praises you, says youâre sensible, not one of those girls who only think about climbing the social ladder. He also says you know your place, have principles, and understand the boundaries between men and women. In short, he says youâre great.â
He sure talks a lot. They must be on the phone quite often!
But Mr. Blanchet wasnât praising her, he kept Patricia in the loop. He was clearing his name from any other women Ellinor gave a small smile. Thanks for his compliments.â
Patricia sincerely said âEllinor, thank you for being willing to help Theo deal with his family during this time!â
Ellinor gave a helpless smile, âItâs nothing, really,â
*Ellinor, youâre really a great person, and I feel we have a good connection. I think we could become good friends!â
As she spoke, Patricia took Ellinorâs hands enthusiastically, batting her big eyes at her in a friendly manner.
Although Ellinor felt awkward, she didnât have the heart to pull her hands away this time due to Patriciaâs sincerity.
She had no ill feelings towards Patricia, but she didnât want to befriend her either.
Once the collaboration period ends, Mr. Blanchet and his people will have nothing to do with her.
âTheo, youâre back!â
Patricia suddenly let go of Ellinorâs hands and ran happily towards the entranceâ¦.
Ellinor turned her head and saw that Mr. Blanchet was back.
Theo Blanchet had just walked in, looking a bit rushed He was still wearing the suit he wore yesterday at Pearl Moon; his hair seemed to have been messed up by the wind, adding a lively touch to his mature and calm face.
As soon as Theo walked through the door, his gaze fell straight on Ellinor. His narrow and cold eyes hid terrible bloodshot, and his handsome cheeks were slightly stubbled, contrasting sharply with his usual meticulous elite image.
He looked worn out, tired, wild, and dangerous.
And there was a worn look on his firm, cold face that had never been there before.
In just one night, his body seemed to have lost a lot of weight.
This change made people wonder if he had over indulged himself last night.
Ellinor squinted her eyes, thinking Theo had a passionate confession with his first love last night. They must not have been able to control their feelings and spent the whole night together, right?
