    Chapter 168


    Eight in the evening


    Moonscape Hotel


    When Theo arrived, the receptionist handed him the key card for room 808 right off the bat, saying that


    thedy of the room had ordered it in advance.


    Once he got to room 808, Theo breezed right in with a swipe of the card.


    In the luxury suite, there was no one around, only the sound of running water from the bathroom

    Walking past the bathroom, Theo cast a casual nce inside. Through the frosted bathroom ss, he


    could vaguely see a woman showering


    Theo instinctively averted his eyes.


    On the dining table, freshly cooked food was still steaming.


    Was this meal prepared by Ellinor herself?


    He remembered his housekeeper mentioning that Ellinor asionally whipped up some snacks at


    home.


    The seemingly delicate her could cook?


    Theo spotted a note on the table. It read:


    “Mr. nchet, go ahead and start eating when you arrive. Don’t wait for me. The food won’t taste as


    good when it gets cold. I got myself dirty while cooking. I’ll join you after a quick shower”


    Theo wore a faint smile


    It seemed that Ellinor had paid attention to the details today.


    Meeting him in a hotel, what was she up to?


    Theo sat down and took a bite of the food. It wasn’t bad.


    Compared to his usual diet, these dishes were nothing to write home about. But knowing they were


    made by Ellinor, he found them quite tasty.


    Theo felt a mix of exhaustion andplexity


    He had always been busy with family business, no time for romance, never showing much interest in


    any woman.


    He had only known this girl for a few weeks, yet she had a knack for knocking him off his rhythm.


    He had initially sought her out to keep his grandfather off his back, but often found himself warmed by


    the thought of her various expressions.


    Wiping his mouth, Theo recalled the passionate kiss from earlier in the day, and her words, “You are a


    man in my eyes.”


    Maybe he should re–evaluate his rtionship with this girl.


    Just then, the bathroom door swung open.


    She came out, wrapped in a towel. Even though she knew Theo had arrived, she still feigned


    surprise, shyly clutching her towel.


    “Oh! Mr. nchet, you’re here, I had no idea! Oops, I forgot to grab my clothes before showering…”


    Theo furrowed his brows. “Why are you here?”


    She paused, “Ah.. who else would it be if not me, the one who invited you for dinner?”


    Theo was not pleased, “Where’s your assistant?”


    “Oh, you’re asking about my assistant Mr nchet, I’m really sorry, my assistant is from the


    countryside, shecks manners and sophistication. It was my fault too, for the incident where you got


    burned yesterday. I shouldn’t have hired such an ipetent person as an assistant. I sincerely


    apologize and I will fire her right away!”


    As she spoke, she moved towards Theo, suddenly tripped, her towel came undone, and she fell to the


    floor, striking a seductive pose, pretending to sob, “Ah… Mr. nchet, could youe and help me?


    My leg hurts from the fall…”


    Theo stood up and walked towards She…
