Hearing that, Theo threw a questioning look at Ellinor.
Ellinor frowned Why was Theo looking at her like that again? Was it because he was too embarrassed to refuse Patricia and asked her to play the role of the bad guy? This guy was always scheming!!
Oh well, since Theo has been nice to her recently, sheâd help him out this time!
Ellinor, with one hand propping up her cheek, lazily turned her face towards Patricia: âMs. Howard, you know that Balfourâs staff need to get to work on time, right? Donât you know that Theo also needs to get to work early?â
Patricia looked a bit wronged, her eyes downcast, looking even more innocent and delicate, âEllinor, thatâs not what I meant I just think that Theo, as the top leader of the company, wouldnât be blamed if heâs a little late. But Quinton is an employee, he needs to check in at the company. The rules at Balfourâs are strict, so he would be fired if heâs lateâ
Ellinor gave a slight smile, âYouâre so considerate, always thinking about others. Itâs no wonder theyâre all willing to give their all for you! But youâre also a little naive! Donât forget that Balfour sent him here on business today. If heâs late to the office, itâs just because heâs on official business, he naturally wonât be fined. If Balfour was really that harsh on his own people, I donât think he would have stuck with Balfour for so many years!â
With that, Ellinor let out a yawn, âBut, if Mr. Blanchet is willing to give you a ride, I donât mind, after all, itâs on your way!â
She turned her head to Theo, raising an eyebrow playfully, âRight, Theo?â
Theo looked at Ellinor. She clearly knew he didnât want to. She was obviously on purpose!
He didnât take the bait from Ellinor, instead he looked up and orders, âCollin, you take Ms. Howard.â
Collin immediately took the order, âYes!â
Hearing this, Patricia trembled a little, looking sad, âTheo, arenât you going to the office today? You could just give me a lift on your way, thereâs no need to trouble Collin..â
Theoâs attitude was indifferent, pointing to Ellinor next to him, âShe will be jealous, itâs not convenient.â
Ellinor was shocked.
Hello? Whoâs jealous here? Theo was really not playing fair, to shake off the âlife saver moral bind, he even labels her with the hat of jealousy!
Patricia was taken aback, looking hurt, and wanting to say somethingâ¦
But Collin had already come over and interrupted her, raising his hand in an inviting gesture, âMs.
Howard, please come with me, Iâll take you home nowâ
Patricia could only smile awkwardly, a hint of reluctance in her eyes, but she tried to be polite and understanding, âAlright, Theo, sorry for the disturbance, Iâll go with Collin now.â
Theo nodded, not lingering on her.
Patricia gritted her teeth, âEllinor, see you, Iâll come to play with you next time!â
âTake care.â
Patricia, with a hint of disappointment, followed Collin out, and Quinton wisely took his leave as well.
