The car was back at the Blanchet familyâs place before they knew it Ellinor had been pestered by Byran all afternoon and was pretty beat. Now that she was full and hydrated, all she wanted was to retreat to her room, freshen up, and hit the sack Thea followed her up the stairs, and just as Ellinorâs hand landed on the doorknob about to open the door, Theo, as if he had foreseen it, reached over from behind her and also placed his hand on the doorknob, his hand covering hers Ellinor immediately stopped turning the doorknob, âMr. Blanchet, what on earth are you doing?â
Theo leaned in close to her eat. I want to.â
As Theo got closer Ellinor instinctively shrank her neck, looking wary. âWhat do you want to do?â
The leaned in again âWant to get in!â
Ellinor blushed inexplicably. Mr. Blanchet uttered the words âget in in such a suggestive tone. It was quite provocative.
Her heart started to race, âMr. Blanchet, if you canât even exercise a little patience, I find it hard to believe that your feelings for me are genuineâ
Theo withdrew his hand and stood upright. I have plenty of patience, Iâll wait till the day you invite me in. Now, you should get some rest.â
When Ellinor turned her head, Theo had already turned around and was ready to head to his study.
âWait Mr. Blanchet, thereâs something I forgot to tell you!â
Ellinor called out to him again.
Theo stopped in his tracks, turning to look at her, âGo ahead Ellinor gestured for him to bend down a bit because he was too tall, as if she had a secret to tell him.
He bent down, listening attentively She stood on her tiptoes, gently pecked his cheek, and whispered in his ear, âMr. Blanchet, thank you for going out of your way to bring me an umbrella today! This is the first time someone has made a special trip just to bring me an umbrella, and Iâm really grateful Goodnight.â
A gentle kiss and a goodnight made Theoâs heart swell with softness.
But the gentler Ellinorâs words were, the quicker she closed the door With a bang, the door was closed, and Ellinor slipped into the room. The bedroom door was locked, extinguishing Theoâs romantic thoughts in an instant!
Theo was at a loss for words.
Looking at the closed door, Theo touched the spot on his face where Ellinor had just kissed him, the warmth and softness seemed to linger.
The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he walked towards the study.
After taking a bath, Ellinor turned on her laptop and logged into her work email to see if she had received any feedback from Mr. Blanchet regarding her designs.
Sure enough, there was an unread email in her inbox. She immediately opened it to see Theoâs response.
The content was concise and to the point.
âThe design is indeed good, but not what I was hoping for.â
Upon reading this, Ellinor frowned!
Indeed, every client had their own unique needs. Initially, they hoped the designer could have creative freedom. However, when the designer truly created according to their own ideas, the client expressed dissatisfaction but didnât provide specific suggestions for modification. It was really a headache!
Ellinor pondered for a moment, then replied to the email âMr. Blanchet, Iâm very sorry that I didnât meet your expectations. Could you please describe what exactly youâre hoping for? Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your cooperation!â
After sending the email, Ellinor went to blowâdry her hair. When she returned after drying her hair, the other party had already replied to the email.
This time, the email contained a bit more information.
