The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 159

Theo just gave her a cold glance, lifted her phone, and answered the call.

The voice on the other end of the line came through and Chase gently asked. "Ms. Mendoza, why'd you hang up without saying a word just now?"

Ellinor fell silent.

Theo looked at the guilty-faced Ellinor, "Is this the 'friend' you were talking about?"

“…..”Ellinor still had no response. He was actually my friend and subordinate; I just didn't feel comfortable telling you. But she could never say these words.

Luckily, she didn't save Chase's number. Chase and Ida's numbers have always been memorized, and as long as Chase doesn't spill the beans, Theo would never know they've known each other for a while.

"Ms. Mendoza, why aren't you saying anything? Where are you? Do you want me to come over right now?"

Chase asked enthusiastically over the phone.

Theo squinted, slowly put down the phone, and held it near his mouth. In a cold voice, he said, "She's married."

His tone was calm yet startling and filled with a strong sense of possessiveness, which firmly declared ownership.

Chase asked in surprise from the other end of the line, "What? Who are you?"

Theo coldly replied, "Her husband."

Chase was silent for a moment, then said in a heartbroken tone, "No! That’s impossible! I don't believe it! Where's Ms. Mendoza? I need to hear it from her..."

Before Chase could finish, Theo hung up the phone.

Theo's eyes flickered; he frowned, then let go of her.

Ellinor held her sore face, thought for a moment, and decided not to argue too fiercely with this man. After all, they still had to see each other often for the next two months!

Besides, Sheila was still waiting for this gentleman to join her for lunch. If she didn't calm him down soon, Sheila might notice something.

"Fine, I admit I was wrong; I'm sorry!"

She lowered her head, regretfully compromising.

Theo was slightly taken aback. Looking at her pitiful face, he wasn't as angry anymore, "What did you do wrong?"

Ellinor pouted, "My mistake was making this call now; I should've waited until three months later! By then I won't be Mrs. Blanchet anymore, and you won't have any right to control me!"
