The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 488

"Who's that? She's quite a looker!" York Mayes, gazing in Ellinor's direction, swallowed hard.

Seeing York Mayes' animated reaction, Haillie chuckled, "Not only is that girl a looker, but she's a real hoot! Go chat her up; you're gonna love her!"

York Mayes' interest was piqued, "A hoot? How so?"

Haillie shot him a mischievous grin, "Well... all those games guys enjoy, she's a whiz at them!"

York Mayes stroked his chin, almost drooling with excitement, "Nice! Patricia, I won't keep you guys; I'm off to chat up that babe."

Patricia feigned concern as she watched York Mayes strut over to Ellinor.

"Haillie, do you think it's right to send York off to Ellinor like that?"

Haillie shrugged, "What's the big deal? All Ellinor wants is a loaded guy, right? She's been trying to get close to Theo and Balfour. York might not be filthy rich, but he's definitely in Ellinor's league! If they hit it off, it's all good and we won't have to worry about Ellinor making a play for our guys!"

"But..." Patricia looked unconvinced, but after a moment of thought, she nodded, "You have a point, Haillie. It wouldn't be the worst thing if Ellinor and York tied the knot. We could end up as family and see each other more often."

Haillie shook her head and was amused by Patricia's naivety. How could she still hope to be family with Ellinor?

“Right! Marrying York would be quite a catch for Ellinor; she'd be lucky!"

With a consensus reached, they both turned to look at Ellinor to see that York Mayes was already chatting her up.

“Hi there, why are you drinking alone?”

Snapping back to reality, Ellinor glanced at the man who had approached her. He was wearing a flashy plaid suit, had average looks, and seemed a bit sleazy.

She replied calmly, "It's not alcohol, just juice."

York Mayes picked up a fancy-looking dessert from the buffet for Ellinor, "Aunt Bluna's parties always have the best sweets. Try this cake; it's delicious."

"Thank you, but I've already had some." Ellinor declined politely, but her interest was piqued by his previous statement, "Are you part of the Howard family?"

York Mayes didn't hide it and nodded, "Yes, I am part of the Howard family!"
