    “Me? Knowing someone as distinguished as Mr. nchet? In my dreams!”


    Ellinor retorted quickly while trying her best to withdraw her hand.


    But she was too vigorous, and the cup got knocked off track, spilling half its tea. The man’s hand was


    scalded red in an instant.


    “Good Lord‘ Ellinor, what’s wrong with you?!


    She yelped, pushing Ellinor aside and rushing over to fawn over Theo’s burn.


    “Mr. nchel, are you in pain? I’m so sorry, my country bumpkin assistant is so clumsy. I’m gonna give


    her a piece of my mindter!”


    Theo coldly withdrew his hand without letting She touch him, shaking off the remaining tea and


    epting a napkin from a waiter, slowly wiping his hand.


    His gloomy gaze remained fixated on Ellinor. He didn’t even frown at the burn, but after a moment of


    silence, he ominously said, “A harsh lesson is in order


    She reached out and grasped at thin air, her movement stiffening To cover her embarrassment, she


    turned her head and scolded.


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    “Ellinor, what are you standing there for? Apologize to Mr. nchet now!”


    Ellinor simply bowed and said, “I’m sorry, Mr. nchet. I didn’t mean to!”


    Theo ignored her, his stone–cold face showing no emotion, sending chills down one’s spine.


    L


    The other three gentlemen remainedposed, sipping their tea and silently observing, each with their


    own thoughts.


    The atmosphere was stifling Pollock was also at a loss. Mr. nchet was a man who should never be


    offended. This situation was bad! He frowned and signaled to his goddaughter, She.


    She immediately understood her godfather’s intentions. After pondering for a moment, she


    dismissively waved at Ellinor, “Alright, Mr. nchet surely won’t hold a grudge against a clumsy woman


    like you! You’re such a klutz, don’t just stand here, find a corner and stay out of sight, lest Mr. nchet


    gets annoyed by your presence!”


    Of course, she wasn’t trying to protect Ellinor. In fact, she was hoping Ellinor would piss off Mr.


    nchet and get a good scolding But since Ellinor was her assistant, her actions would reflect on


    She as the employer. If Mr. nchet decided to make a fuss, She would also get dragged down.


    So, it was better to keep the peace.


    And one more thing, she found Ellinor standing there quite an eyesore. Her outfits were so outdated


    and ridiculous that she was drawing all the attention and stealing She’s thunder!


    Upon hearing She’s dismissal, Ellinor happily nodded and walked away. Being away from those


    people was the best thing for her.


    The VIP reception room was spacious. Apart from Theo and a few servers attending to the guests,


    everyone else had left.


    Ellinor spotted a sofa in the distance where no one was sitting. It was a quiet spot. She went over and


    sat down, scrolling on her phone to kill time. As she was engrossed in a game of Tetris, a slender hand


    suddenly offered her a ss of orange juice. Ellinor paused for a moment, looked up, and saw


    Bartlett’s handsome face smiling at her.
