He really wanted to slap himself.
He had been such a jerk!
...
At the Blanchet family’s villa.
After Balfour left, Ellinor took out her phone, which had been buzzing in her pocket.
It was a video call from Theo.
Because she had been talking to Balfour, she hadn’t answered it.
Now that Balfour was gone, she could talk to Theo.
After answering the phone, Theo's handsome face appeared on the screen.
Theo's normally cold and handsome features now looked annoyed. He had a chill on his face, "What were you doing just now? Why did you only answer now?"
Ellinor lazily sat on the sofa, "I was eating!"
Theo's face darkened, "Eating? Whose cooking were you eating?"
Ellinor knew what was going on once he asked that question. Someone must have snitched!
She rolled her eyes, unhappily saying, "Why are you asking if you already know?"
Today, he broke his rule for Ellinor; what he came for must have been very important, yet Ellinor wouldn't tell him.
"Theo, look! What's this?" Ellinor showed off her bounty of the day.
Theo looked at the notes Ellinor was waving in front of the phone. Theo, who wasn't sensitive to money, just raised an eyebrow, "What's up?"
"This is my pay from the few days I worked at the Howard Group that I demanded from Balfour today. Balfour has owed me for a long time." Ellinor's face was full of excitement, like she had found a treasure. She excitedly told the serious man on the screen, "When you get off work, I'll treat you to something delicious!"
Theo paused for a moment, looking at the lively young girl on the screen. His previously gathered displeasure instantly dissipated, "You're so generous."
"Of course!" Ellinor lifted her face proudly, "I normally wouldn't invite people to eat with me. You're really lucky!"
Theo's lips slightly lifted, "Hmm? What delicious food are you planning to treat me to?"
