The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1134

Chase caught on to Ellinor's hint from her eyes. He grinned and said, "Ms. Mendoza, we don't just come to you when we need something, right?"

Ida chimed in, "It's been a while since we've seen you. We just came to have a chat."

Both of them avoided calling her boss in unison.

Ellinor responded, "I'm kinda bored anyway. Your visit is right on time. We can play some poker to kill time."

Chase grinned, "Sounds good!"

Belinda chimed in, "Cool, Mr. Larios gave me a half day off. I can join you guys for some poker."

At this moment, Marissa Blanchet emerged from the kitchen with two maids.

"Ellinor, I heard you have friends over, so I made some snacks. Please invite your friends to try them."

Ellinor, who usually respected Marissa, surprisingly ignored her goodwill this time.

Belinda stood up and said, "Marissa, thank you!"

Marissa looked at Belinda with a gentle smile, "Belinda, it's been a while since you've been here. I almost couldn't recognize you! You've become more and more beautiful!"

Belinda blushed at Marissa's compliment and responded awkwardly.

Chase and Ida also stood up and greeted Marissa.

Ellinor declined politely but coldly, "Thank you, but I don't want anything sweet right now."

Marissa paused but didn't get angry. She handed the cookie to Baber, who was next to Ellinor, "Here, kiddo, try this cookie and tell me if it's good."

Baber happily took the cookie and started eating.

Ellinor glanced at Baber but said nothing.

With Marissa around, the youngsters couldn't really chat and fell silent.

Actually, in the past, Marissa usually wouldn't get involved in the youngsters' affairs. After delivering the snacks, she'd go back to her room and let them chat freely.
