Chapter 406: Chapter 406

“Thanks.”

Ellinor had always been carefree and not one to sweat the small stuff. Taking the towel, she first wiped the water off her face, then started drying her drenched hair.

Bartlett was being a gentleman and pretty tame today, unlike the previous times when he enjoyed teasing her a bit too much.

“Ellinor, why don’t you chill out here for a bit? My assistant will bring you some clothes later.”

“Sounds good! Thanks, you’re such a sweetheart!”

Ellinor didn’t plan to keep him around. After all, a girl and a guy alone in a room might cause some raised eyebrows, especially since she’s a married woman now. The last thing she wanted were unnecessary misunderstandings Hearing Ellinor’s compliment, Bartlett chuckled, “Ellinor, if you want to thank me, you really don’t need to butter me up.”

“What’s the matter? Can’t I compliment you? Doesn’t it just show your noble character of being helpful?

*

Let’s drop it. I just feel like you’re pulling my leg.”

“I’m really grateful to you! Thanks for helping me out today because of Mr. Blanchet. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to find any clothes to change into Ellinor said seriously.

Hearing her words, Bartlett’s smile faded, and his brows furrowed slightly, “Ellinor, I didn’t help you because of anyone else. I helped you because you’re you Even without considering Theo, we are friends, aren’t we?”

Ellinor stared at Bartlett’s handsome face, pondered for a moment, and then nodded, “Okay, I guess we are friends now! You can leave now; I need to dry off. Even among friends, we should avoid awkward situations.”

With that, she pushed Bartlett towards the door.

Bartlett was practically kicked out.

A tall man like Bartlett was pushed by a young girl like Ellinor, making him stumble a little and almost losing his cool.

The door of the guest room slammed shut, and Bartlett still stood at the door with a smirk in his eyes.

Ellinor was as dismissive of him as ever.

She seemed reluctant and hesitated for a good while before she accepted him as a friend when they were discussing whether they were friends or not.

Being friends with him seemed to put her in a tight spot.

The more he knew about this unique girl, the more interesting she became..

Bartlett turned around gracefully. One of his female subordinates was coming upstairs; she quickened her pace when she saw her boss.

*Mr. Rex, here are the clothes you asked for. But what do you need women’s clothes for?”

Bartlett smiled and said, “No biggie, a friend of mine accidentally fell into the water and got soaked, so she needs a fresh set of clothes. Angel, give your new outfit to her. I’ll have finance reimburse you.”

Angel waved her hands, “Mr. Rex, you’re too kind. The outfit isn’t expensive at all. I’ll just consider it a gift for your friend. No need for reimbursement, really!”

Bartlett didn’t plan to argue with his secretary. He treated her very well, far more than the value of an outfit.

At that moment, a hand reached out from above and took the clothing bag from Angel, “Then I’ll gladly accept your kindness”
