    Chapter 448


    Quinton hung up the phone


    “Ms. Mendoza,e with me. Mr Balfour wants to see you”


    Ellinor wasn’t surprised. She got up and followed Quinton to the office of the President of the Howard


    Group.


    Balfour’s office was decorated in a style that perfectly matched his personality, elegant and aloof.


    “Mr. Howard, Ms Mendoza is here” Quinton moved closer and said in a low voice.


    There were some unique art pieces on Balfour’s desk, with arge office chair facing away from them


    behind the desk


    However, the person in the chair did not turn around to face them at Quinton’s introduction.


    Quinton brought Ellinor in and then turned and left.


    Ellinor stood alone in the office, waiting quietly. Seeing that Balfour still didn’t look at her, she took the


    initiative to speak, politely saying. “Hello, Mr. Howard, I’m Ellinor Im here for the executive secretary


    position”


    Just as she finished, the office chair slowly turned around.


    Balfour had a cup of steaming coffee in his hand. He was poised and indifferent, his smile not reaching


    his eyes.


    “Long time no see, Ms Mendoza What made you decide to apply for my secretary position?”


    “Well, I’m strapped for cash Saw yourpany was hiring, and the pay looked pretty good, so here I


    am.”


    Balfour listened and took a sip of his coffee while smiling, with a hint of contempt in his eyes.


    “If I remember correctly, Ms. Mendoza, you weren’t the type to bow down for money


    You once t–out returned a check I gave you. You seemed pretty adamant about it.

    I thought you never cared about money. Seems I was wrong, huh?”


    Ellinor looked at Balfour calmly, undeterred by his sarcasm. She said calmly, “I never said I didn’t care


    about money. On the contrary I need it badly. I just don’t like unwarranted handouts and gifts. Mr.


    Howard, let’s leave the past behind us, shall we? I’m here to apply for a job. I want to earn my keep,


    not beg you for it. How is earning money through a legitimate job considered bowing down to money?”


    Balfour squinted at her and smiled, “You really think you can earn money here? Ms. Mendoza, aren’t


    you overestimating yourself?”


    Ellinor looked at him firmly, “Whether I’m overestimating myself or not, why don’t you find out?”


    Balfour averted his gaze, “Never mind. The Howard Group doesn’t need an employee like you, Ms.


    Mendoza. You better find a job elsewhere”


    Ellinor looked at Balfour, feeling a bit ufortable at the thought that this arrogant man might be her


    full–blooded brother.


    If it weren’t for the investigation into her mother’s affairs, she wouldn’t want to deal with Balfour at all.


    But since she was here already, she wasn’t going to leave empty–handed
