The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 168

Eight in the evening.

Moonscape Hotel.

When Theo arrived, the receptionist handed him the key card for room 808 right off the bat, saying that the lady of the room had ordered it in advance.

Once he got to room 808, Theo breezed right in with a swipe of the card.

In the luxury suite, there was no one around, only the sound of running water from the bathroom.

Walking past the bathroom, Theo cast a casual glance inside. Through the frosted bathroom glass, he could vaguely see a woman showering.

Theo instinctively averted his eyes.

On the dining table, freshly cooked food was still steaming.

Was this meal prepared by Ellinor herself?

He remembered his housekeeper mentioning that Ellinor occasionally whipped up some snacks at home.

The seemingly delicate her could cook?

Theo spotted a note on the table. It read:

"Mr. Blanchet, go ahead and start eating when you arrive. Don't wait for me. The food won’t taste as good when it gets cold. I got myself dirty while cooking, I'll join you after a quick shower."

Theo wore a faint smile.

It seemed that Ellinor had paid attention to the details today.

Meeting him in a hotel, what was she up to?

Sheila came out, wrapped in a towel. Even though she knew Theo had arrived, she still feigned surprise, shyly clutching her towel.

"Oh! Mr. Blanchet, you're here, I had no idea! Oops, I forgot to grab my clothes before showering..."

Theo furrowed his brows, "Why are you here?"

Sheila paused, "Ah... who else would it be if not me, the one who invited you for dinner?"

Theo was not pleased, "Where's your assistant?"

"Oh, you're asking about my assistant... Mr. Blanchet, I'm really sorry, my assistant is from the countryside, she lacks manners and sophistication. It was my fault too, for the incident where you got burned yesterday. I shouldn’t have hired such an incompetent person as an assistant. I sincerely apologize and I will fire her right away!"

As she spoke, she moved towards Theo, suddenly tripped, her towel came undone, and she fell to the floor, striking a seductive pose, pretending to sob, "Ah... Mr. Blanchet, could you come and help me? My leg hurts from the fall..."

Theo stood up and walked towards Sheila...
