The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 637

She was just a young girl who did not exactly come from money.

She just graduated, so she was not exactly rolling in dough. How could she possibly afford a swanky five-star hotel?

It was just too ludicrous to even think about.

Ellinor cracked a small smirk, "Balfour, you don't actually think I'm into you, do you?"

With a poker face, Balfour croaked out a hollow laugh, "I don't give a damn if you like me or not. Just don't do anything stupid, or you'll have to face the music. Consider yourself warned."

Ellinor giggled and shrugged, "I don't have any ulterior motives. If you don't trust me, Mr. Howard, so be it."

Just then, the elevator doors opened, but they hadn't reached the ground floor. Instead, a crowd of people poured in.

About a dozen or so, all holding notebooks and chatting with smiles on their faces. It looked like they were off to some event.

Ellinor was squeezed into a corner, and someone even stepped on her foot.

"Excuse me, mind moving your foot? You're stepping on me."

The guy who had stepped on her foot was not part of the group. He was already annoyed by the cramped space and turned around impatiently to look at Ellinor.

However, as soon as he laid eyes on her, he was taken aback and quickly shifted his foot with a smile.

"Sorry, miss, didn't see your foot in all that commotion. Are you alright?"

Ellinor shook her head slowly, "I'm fine."

Using the crowd as an excuse to get closer, the man asked, "Are you here alone?"

Ellinor glanced at him, then looked down at her phone, not feeling like engaging with him.

While shouting, the man pushed Ellinor under his arm, wearing a fake smile, "Don't worry, I'll protect you from these jerks who can't stop pushing."

His words sounded noble, but he was just using the situation to get closer to her, so he could try to take advantage of her.

The unwanted closeness was making Ellinor very uncomfortable. She frowned and moved her wrist.

Keep it cool! Starting a fight in the elevator could cause a malfunction. As soon as the doors opened, she would give this creep what he deserved.

"Back off."

Before the elevator doors could open, a deep and indifferent voice suddenly rang out.

The man harassing Ellinor was startled. Who was that?

The voice sounded like a man's...
