âGotchalâ
Chase immediately dropped his cheerful grin and went to do as Ellinor instructed.
Ellinor followed Chase to the office door and peeked through a crack to see what was going on outside.
She saw Theo stepping off the elevator, with Collin trailing right behind him.
With a smile. Chase stepped forward, âMr. Blanchet, welcome! Sorry, we didn't meet you downstairsâ
Theo nodded nonchalantly. âNo problem.â
Chase effortlessly turned to lead the way. âI heard from our general manager, Ms. Gipson, that you're ir
Theo politely declined,
âNo need, I've already seen the ground floor structure. I just need to meet with Ms. Gipson and Moon ri
Chase apologized, Tm sorry, but Ms. Gipson is in a meeting right now, and it might take a while. How a
Theo didn't change his expression, âNo need, I can wait for Ms. Gipson in the reception room.
Chase knew that if he pushed it any further, it might raise Theo's suspicions.
So, he shot a helpless glance at the general manager's office and politely said, âAlright then, Mr. Blanch
Ellinor furrowed her brows when she saw Chase lead Theo into the reception room. She was stuck.

Theo would definitely spot her if she tried to leave.
But having Ida meet Theo directly in the reception room wouldn't be appropriate either.
Theo was a big client who bid a billion, he deserved to be received in the office
Ida suggested, âWhy don't you hide in the small break room in the back for now? It seems like Mr. Blan

Then Ida had the secretary invite Theo in.
âMr. Blanchet, please have a seatâ
Theo gracefully sat down, and the secretary quickly served coffee.
They exchanged a few pleasantries, then got down to business
Theo glanced around Ida's desk, âMs. Gipson, where is Moon, the chief designer of your group?â
Ida smiled apologetically, âMr.
Blanchet, I'm sorry, but Moon isn't in the office today. You can leave your thoughts and requirements fo

the design is ready, I will send it to Blanchet Corporation for your reviewâ
Theo leisurely lifted his coffee and raised an eyebrow. So, I'm paying this hefty design fee, but i can't ev
Ida adjusted her goldâ
rimmed glasses, maintaining her smile, âThat's not what I meant; Moon really isn't in today."
Theo squinted slightly, âis that so? Why did I hear that she came in today?â
Ida's face stiffened for a moment but quickly resumed its normalcy. âOh? May I ask where you heard th
Theo took a sip of his coffee,
âJust downstairs, your front desk staff was talking about Moon, saying she rarely comes in, but she did 1
Ida fell silent.
Although Ellinor is the founder behind Crescent Society, the companyâs
employees think sheâs just the contracted designer, Moon
When Ellinor and Sheila arrived earlier, they were spotted by the front desk.
Whenever the girls at the front desk had some free time, they would gossip

âSince you've already heard, Mr. Blanchet, I won't hide it any longer. Moon did come in today, but she's
