Moran's face turned awkward, "Um... I am a classmate of Ellinor."
Theo's gaze was icy, "A classmate who has feelings for her that go beyond friendship, do you expect me to leave her in your hands?"
Moran's face immediately turned red, and he frowned. He felt furious at his character being questioned: "I admit, I like Ellinor! But I'm not a bad guy. I would never disrespect her. I would respect her a lot!"
Theo squinted his eyes, lifted the cocktail he had taken from Ellinor's hand, and swung it slightly, his mouth slightly raised, "You are quite bold, daring to confess your love to her in front of me?"
"I..." Moran's face turned red again, looking very embarrassed.
Seeing her classmate in an awkward situation, Ellinor frowned and stood up, "Mr Blanchet, I promise I won't drink anymore. If you have nothing else to do, you can leave first."
Theo looked at her, "Are you kicking me out?"
Ellinor shook her head, "I'm not kicking you out. I'm asking you to leave! You being here is making my classmates scared!"
Theo's face suddenly became gloomy. Were her classmates scared of him? What did she think of him, was he really that scary?
At this time, the music in the box suddenly became much quieter, and a group of girls excitedly surrounded them.
"Wow, you're the gentleman who donated to our school today, aren't you?"
"Ellinor, your parents are really handsome!"
"Ellinor, introduce us to this handsome man!"
The girls saw this handsome man, and they were all super excited, as if stars were about to fall out of their eyes.
Theo slightly raised his eyebrows, and a sarcastic smile appeared on his face, "Clearly, your classmates aren't scared by me."
At this moment, Ellinor finally understood what 'real trouble comes from teammates, not opponents' meant.
Theo continued: "Alright, you and your classmates have fun. I'll be in the box across, come find me when you're done."
The man slightly bent down, gently lifted her stray hair on her cheek, moved closer, then whispered in her ear: "Ms Mendoza, you must remember your current status. Being too close to other men is not in line with the image of my wife."
This was a warning, not a reminder.
The point was, when did she get too close to other men?
The anger burning in Ellinor's heart couldn't be released!
Theo slightly turned his face, and with a mature and gentlemanly attitude, he said to the people around: "Everyone has fun. All expenses today are on Ellinor. She's treating everyone."
The classmates were stunned, and then they all laughed.
