Theo looked at her and said, âGrannyâs fine Collinâs taken her homeâ
Ellinor nodded in relief, âAlright, as long as Grannyâs okay I gotta take off now See youâ
And with that, she started to walk away, but after a few steps, she stopped and turned around, âWhy are you still following me?â
Theo raised an eyebrow, âDidnât you say you were gonna treat me to a meal?â
Ellinor smiled wryly, âI said I would treat Granny, and you were just a plus one. Now that Granny canât come, our meal is off.â
Theo frowned, scoffing. âSo Iâll treat you instead. We can still eat, right?â
Ellinor, not interested waved him off, âYou go eat. I have other plans.â
Theo squinted at her, âWhat plans?â
Ellinor frowned in annoyance, âDo I have to tell you?â
Theo stared at her coldly. âWhat do you think?â
This guyâs control freak tendencies were too much to bear! Luckily, their marriage was short lived if it was longâterm, who could stand it?
In an exasperated tone, Ellinor said, âI have a graduation ceremony today. My classmates and I are having a getâtogether, and it might go late.â
She explained clearly and was upfront, but wasnât seeking his approval.
Theo lit a cigarette, âUniversity friends. You donât really keep in touch after graduation Do you really need to go to this gathering?â
Ellinor glared at him, âI want to go! Does a gathering need to have a purpose? After graduation, weâll all be busy with our lives, and we might not have this opportunity again. I want to say a goodbyeâ
Theo was silent for a moment, âGet in the car. Iâll drop you offâ
Ellinor shook her head, âNo need, I can take a cabâ
Before she finished her sentence, Theo had already hoisted her into the car.
Ellinor thought Theo was a strange guy. He always seemed so high and mighty but loved to meddle in affairs Their destination was Club Vibe.
âThanksâEllinor got out of the car and walked into Club Vibe alone.
Theoâs car didnât drive away immediately but stayed put. The driver looked back and asked, âMr Blanchet, are we heading home or elsewhere now?â
Theo didnât answer, and the driver didnât dare to ask again. Theoâs eyes were fixed on the entrance of Club Vibe.
Then, Jonah Wyton gave him a call.
âTheo, where are you? Wanna grab a drink at Twilight Bar tonight?â
âChange of venue.â.
âAlright, where do you wanna go?â
âClub Vibe.â
âWhat? Where did you say?â
Jonahâs voice paused for a few seconds as if he doubted what he had heard.
