Theo waved his hand dismissively, âNo need. From now on, as long as she has locked the door and thereâs no safety issue, absolutely nobody is allowed to unlock it with a keyâ
Devin was taken aback, yesâ
This was a total departure from Mr. Blanchetâs previous stance.
In the past, Ellinor would also lock her door, which always ticked Mr. Blanchet off. He would have someone unlock it.
His room was his territory No one was allowed to lock it, let alone lock him out of it.
Yet now, he seemed to be totally fine with it What a turn of events!
Instead of knocking again, Theo pulled out his phone and called the person inside.
It rang for a while before being answered by a groggy sounding Ellinor, âWhatâs up?â
âItâs time to get up, letâs have breakfast togetherâ
Ellinor had stayed up late working on designs and only went to bed in the early hours. Right now, she just wanted to sleep.
âIâm not hungry Enjoy yourself.â
With that, she hung up.
Being hung up on. Theoâs face darkened Usually he was the one calling the shots, rejecting others. Now Ellinor was giving him a taste of his own medicine, and it was quite a bitter taste at that.
The man redialed, âOpen the door. Let me see you.â
Ellinor picked up again, sounding a bit irritated, âDidnât I send you a picture yesterday? You can look at it anytime, anywhere!â
âYou want me to just look at the picture? Just look at the picture without doing anything?â
How could he be satisfied with looking at that picture?!
Ellinor became a bit more alert, âAre you seriously starting with the sexual harassment this early in the morning? Have you no shame?â
Hearing her indignant response, Theo smirked, âAlright, go back to sleep. I wonât disturb you anymore.â
âHmph! Next time when youâre sleeping soundly, Iâll call you and make you get up and go back to bed!â
With that, she hung up indignantly Theo didnât get angry Instead, he laughed softly, his eyes full of affection. He put away his phone and looked at Devin, âLet her be. When she wakes up, ask her what she wants to eat and make her breakfastâ
The look on Devinâs face was one of disbelief, âYes, understood, donât worryâ
Was he seeing things? The usually stoic Mr. Blanchet was acting like a lovestruck teenager, all happy and giddy even though he was denied entry and had to communicate through the phone?
Mr. Blanchet seldom smiled and was always good at keeping his emotions to himself. Yet today, simply because of a phone call with Ellinor, his face was lit up with such a gentle smile..
Unbelievable!
It seemed they would have to pay more attention to Ellinor from now on. Mr. Blanchet had clearly fallen for her!
Without waking Ellinor, Theo went downstairs alone for breakfast.
Collin entered the dining room respectfully, ready to report on the task Mr. Blanchet had assigned him yesterday.
âMr. Blanchet, weâve found that internet celebrity.â
