Unable to break free from Theo's large hand, Ellinor, in a moment of desperation, slapped him across the face...
Collin blocked the doorway in the stairwell, but Sheila attempted to push her way in!
The more he tried to stop her, the more curious she became. She was determined to see what Mr. Blanchet was doing inside and if he was the only one there.
Collin couldn't tolerate it any longer and angrily said, "Ms. Mendoza, if you keep barging in like this, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Sheila didn't consider Collin important. In her eyes, Mr. Blanchet's secretary was nothing more than her assistant.
She had never given assistants much thought, and similarly, how could Mr. Blanchet possibly consider a secretary important!
Just a secretary, daring to threaten her in the face. Once she won Mr. Blanchet's heart, she would be the first to have him fired!
"If you dare to touch me, I'll shout sexual harassment!"
"You..."
Collin was speechless with anger at Sheila!
Realizing that her words had an effect on Collin, Sheila had an idea. She deliberately approached him, standing tall, trying to intimidate him with her chest...
Collin couldn't avoid it and felt uncomfortable all over.
He couldn't handle such despicable tactics, and he couldn't really lay a hand on a woman...
Seizing the moment when Collin was trying to evade her, Sheila found an opportunity and pushed open the door, barging in!
Sheila thought Theo was concerned about her being hungry and shyly shook her head. "No, I'm not hungry yet! I’ll wait for you. I'll be fine!"
Theo felt annoyed, furrowed his brow, extinguished the cigarette, stood up, and walked toward the door. "Then let's go."
Sheila was taken aback, suddenly feeling nervous!
Oh my, Mr. Blanchet stopped smoking so that she wouldn't go hungry!
Lost in her excitement, she didn't notice the other situation, and from her angle, she couldn't see the lingering palm print on the left side of Theo's face...
After Sheila followed Theo out of the stairwell, Collin closed the door to the stairwell.
At this moment, Ellinor sat on the lower step of the next floor, her palm still throbbing with pain...
