Chapter 1264

Chase sauntered into the kitchen with the takeout lunch in hand. Ellinor shot Collin a look of blatant

displeasure but couldn't be bothered to do anything about it. She then claimed her seat at the

dining table, ready to dig in.

Collin was a tad worried. His brows knitted together as he whipped out his phone to report the

situation to Mr. Blanchet.

“Mr. Blanchet, Ellinor’s lunch is a takeout steak. Seems like no one in this joint knows how to cook.”

At the Blanchet Corporation.

Theo was buried in a meeting, listening to his underlings drone on about the data on the PPT. His

phone on the table flashed twice.

He glanced at it, and his expression turned grave.

His knuckles were prominent as he tapped on the screen.

A minute later, Collin received a short response from Mr. Blanchet. “Did she have the soup?”

Collin looked up at the unnoticed thermos and sent back an honest reply. “No.".

Then he didn't hear back from Mr. Blanchet.

Even through the phone, Collin could tell that Mr. Blanchet was ticked off.

While looking at Ellinor chowing down on the steak Chase had brought back, he sucked in a deep

breath, trying to salvage the situation for Mr. Blanchet. “Ellinor, since you're having lunch, how

about I heat up the soup Mr. Blanchet brought for you? His homemade meat soup is way more

nutritious than restaurant soup!”

Ellinor ignored him.

Collin headed over to get the thermos, but Chase blocked him and asked, “What soup? I'm not

letting my boss drink some random stuff”

Collin replied politely. “Mr. Larios, this is a soup personally made by Mr. Blanchet. It's not mystery

stuff.”

Chase grumbled. “That's even more reason not to let my boss drink it! Who knows what Mr.

Blanchet's real intentions are? What if he’s trying to poison my boss?”

Collin frowned, ignoring Chase's deliberate provocation. He turned to Ellinor. “Ellinor, you know Mr.

Blanchet would never poison you, right?”

Ellinor sliced her steak leisurely. “Chase, ignore him.”

Chase shrugged and finally let Collin pass, heading back to his room to change.

Just after he had returned, a confused Chase came back out. “Boss, did someone mess with my

wardrobe?”

Ellinor replied while eating, “I did.”

Chase was puzzled. “You rarely go into my room, so why would you touch my wardrobe today?”

Ellinor answered truthfully. “Bartlett came by this morning. I accidentally dirtied his clothes, so I gave

him a set of yours.”

Chase pretended to be upset. “Ellinor, my clothes are expensive! How could you just give them

away?"

Ellinor rolled her eyes. “Didn't I pay you? Just buy new ones!”

Chase laughed, “No, no! It's your duty to gift clothes to your man. I meant I should buy new clothes

for your man, not let him wear my hand-me-downs.”

Ellinor gave him a cold look. “Stop talking nonsense. What man? I don't have a man!”

With a naughty grin, Chase pressed on. “Then how did you manage to dirty Mr. Rex's clothes?”

Ellinor was speechless.

The man’s mind was a cesspool. It needed a thorough cleanse with detergent!

With a twitch at the corner of her mouth, she retorted. “I'm pregnant. What do you think I could do

to him?”

Chase expressed regret. “True. That's a shame.”

Ellinor was speechless again.

Collin came out with a bowl of soup, gently placing it in front of Ellinor. “Ellinor, the soup is heated.

Want to give it a try?”
