    “Ellinor, long time no see


    Instinctively. Ellinor nced over at Theo, noticing Mr. nchet casually sipping his tea in the other


    direction, oblivious to her. Meanwhile, Pollock and She were engaged in a heated discussion, each


    taking turns in their back and forth Much like they couldn’t hear her, she couldn’t make out their


    conversation either


    Ellinor returned her gaze, nodding faintly at Bartlett but declining the orange juice he offered “No


    thanks, I’m good.”


    Bartlett merely smiled, unbothered. He gracefully set down the juice on the coffee table in front of her,


    then took a seat next to her.


    Noticing Bartlett’s move, Ellinor nced at him, her brows slightly knitted, “Need something?”


    Bartlett shrugged, “Nah, just not interested in movie investments. Figured I’d find a quiet spot here.”


    “Suit yourself then.” Ellinor returned to her game of Tetris, barely acknowledging his presence.

    Bartlett found himself at a loss. Although he had experienced her coldness before, it still felt


    ufortable when faced with it again. Coming from a privileged background, he was unustomed


    to being snubbed by women. This change of pace was oddly refreshing


    Bartlett squinted, his interest piqued as he watched Ellinor, then casually mentioned, “Ellinor, you and


    Theo don’t seem like your typical couple; am I overthinking this?”


    Her fingers paused on the game, looking up at him, “And what’s your definition of ‘typical‘?‘


    Bartlett’s smirk deepened, testing the waters, “At the very least, you two seem to be distant andck


    intimacy.”


    Ellinor chuckled. “That’s between us. You, as a single man, might not understand.”


    “Is that so?” Bartlett’s smile faltered slightly; even his inherent elegance couldn’t mask the


    disconcerting feeling her words caused. She was blunt, leaving no room for aeback


    Suddenly, Ellinor remembered something and pointed towards Pollock, “By the way, does Mr. Rex


    know him? Is he famous?”


    Bartlett nced over, nodding faintly. “Pollock is a well–known director back home. He’s quite arrogant


    and only takes on big–budget projects. But he does have talent; his movies are popr”


    Ellinor continued, “And what about his personal life? Any idea?


    “Not much, I just heard his wife and kid live abroad.”


    “Okay, thanks for that.”


    With her questions answered, Ellinor returned to her game.


    As for She’s godfather, a basic understanding was enough. The rest could be left to Chase. Given


    She’s rather poor business acumen, her coboration with a demanding director like Pollock was no


    coincidence. Who knows what shady dealings Tracy and She had gotten into this time for fame and


    fortune.
