The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 407

That hand ain't Bartlett's.

Angel jerked her head up in surprise, only to see Mr. Blanchet, whose face was as deep and enigmatic as a millennium-old glacier, right in front of her.

The sudden appearance of this man was so imposing that Angel couldn't help but take a step back. "Mr. Blanchet!"

Theo bowed his head, opened the clothing pack, and sure enough, the clothes were new with the tag still on. This could be used for Ellinor in a pinch.

Bartlett looked at Theo and chuckled, "Theo, you finally showed up."

"Hmm, where's my wife?"

"She's inside, drenched from head to toe. I was worried she'd catch a cold, so I brought her to a guest room to dry off."

"Thanks." Theo said with a squint, "But next time, don't take other people's wives to any room without asking. No one needs you to be that considerate."

Bartlett's face stiffened for a moment, then he laughed again, "Theo, I didn't mean to. I just saw Ellinor walk in all wet and felt bad for her. Besides, if you hadn't chosen to save your benefactor over your wife today, I wouldn't have had the chance to help her, right?"

After two seconds of silence, Theo said coldly, "If you don't know what's going on, keep your nose out of it."

"Alright, I admit I was being a busybody." Bartlett shrugged.

Theo didn't respond to Bartlett anymore. He took off his expensive watch and casually handed it to Bartlett's secretary, Angel.

"Yeah, that's her."

"I heard Mr. Blanchet married a very ordinary girl. But how could an ordinary girl make Mr. Blanchet care about her so much?"

For that seemingly ordinary girl, he was even willing to exchange an expensive watch for a set of clothes.

"No, that girl is anything but ordinary." Bartlett said, his eyes twinkling with amusement and deeper meanings.

Angel was slightly taken aback, feeling both surprised and confused by her boss. Today, Bartlett seemed different. His usually casual yet competent eyes seemed to hint at some sort of excitement.
