Chapter 728
Patricia looked at Ellinor, who had just hung up the phone, and flashed her trademark âinnocentâ grin.
âMs. Mendoza, you seem pretty busy, huh? Was that a guy on the phone?â
Ellinor put her phone away, nonchalantly grabbed a throw pillow from the sofa, and replied, âYeah, it
was a dudeâ
Patricia had a hint of sarcasm in her innocent eyes, âDoes Mr Blanchet know you're still in touch with
other guys?â
Ellinor let out a yawn, âHe probably has no clueâ
Patricia looked a bit peeved, âMr. Blanchet doesn't know? That could be a problem. You're inviting
other men over when heâs not around. If word gets out, there might be some unnecessary chatterâ
Ellinor tumed to look at Patricia, raising an eyebrow, âMs. Howard, are you threatening to tell him?â
Patricia feigned innocence and furrowed her brow, âNo way, I'm not threatening you, just giving you a
friendly heads up!â
Ellinor gave a slight smile. Threat or reminder, I couldn't care less. If you want to spread the word, go
ahead! If you want to tell Mr. Blanchet, you can call him now and let him know I've been inviting other
men over when heâs not home. Do whatever you want!â
Patricia was a bit disgruntled by Ellinor's nonchalant attitude, and she silently gritted her teeth.
In reality, Patricia knew that if Ellinor was so open about having men over, there was likely no foul
play.
Patricia retorted coldly, âMs. Mendoza, you're overthinking. I'm not one for gossiping or telling tales to
Mr. Blanchet.
Hah! If she wasn't that kind of person then who was?
Who knew what schemes Patricia was cooking up?
Ellinor gave Patricia a glance and ignored her.
At that moment, a male servant walked in with a package, âEllinor, your meal is here."
Ellinor nodded, âCool, just put it hereâ
The servant left after placing the meal on the coffee table.
Ellinor put down her throw pillow and started to unwrap her food, âMs. Howard, fancy a bite?â
Patricia offered a fake smile, her eyes showing her disdain for the cheap meal, âNo thanks, I'm already
fullâ
Ellinor looked at her with a smile, her tone casual, âIf you're not eating, then please step back. I don't
like being watched while I eat
Patricia's smile stiffened. âAlright...â
Veronica came over from the dining room, âPatricia, why are you still sitting with Ellinor? You should
keep your distance. The cheap meals she orders are made with lousy oil. It's just disgusting, you might
catch something.â
She spoke while trying to pull Patricia away from Ellinor.
As Patricia stood up, she was still holding her glass of milk, and she didn't forget to hand the leftovers
to Ellinor before leaving.
