    Chapter 452


    Patricia knew it was Theoing to check on things, but she didn’t want him to see Ellinor again


    After a moment of thought, a sly grin crossed Patricia’s face and she loudly said, “Balfour, when did you


    start keeping a cat in your office? The poor thing just choked on some fish it was eating. Good thing it


    coughed it up, or we could’ve had a real situation on our hands! You need to be careful not to feed


    such a small cat fish!


    Balfour got the hint from Patricia’s words and responded, “Ah, my bad, first time owning a cat. I’ll keep


    that in mind.”


    With Balfour’s cooperation, Patricia threw Ellinor a cautionary look, then stepped out from behind the


    bookshelf, blocking Theo’s path. She feigned innocence, saying ‘Mr. nchet, Balfour just got a kitten.


    I went over and it hid, I can’t see it now!”


    Theo nced at Patricia, then his stern gaze turned to the row of bookshelves, filled with suspicion.


    Ellinor felt the threat. She took a deep breath to suppress her nausea


    Worried that Theo mighte over, she forced a smile and went along with Patricia’s story, softly

    “I’m starving! Balfour, Mr. nchet and I are heading to the restaurant. Don’t forget to join us when


    you’re done!” Patricia said, tugging at Theo’s sleeve, “Mr. nchet, let’s


    gol”

    Balfour was left alone in the office.


    He walked back to his chair andzily sat down “Come on out, kitten.”


    Ellinor emerged from behind the bookshelves with her face calm again.


    Balfour looked at her sideways, ‘Ms. Mendoza, what were you hiding from?”


    “Nothing. I just didn’t want to see certain people.”


    Balfour pondered for a moment, then purposely asked. “You didn’t want to see Theo? Why?”


    Ellinor didn’t want to exin, “No reason, I just didn’t want to see him. There’s no need to pry. Patricia


    didn’t want me to see Mr. nchet just now, did she?”


    Balfour leaned back in his chair, his posture exuding contempt for his subordinates, yet he had a coldly


    elegant smirk.


    “Ms. Mendoza, as long as you know, Patricia and Theo have been getting along very well recently, as


    you’ve surely noticed.


    So, I hope you can keep this in mind and stay away from her boyfriend. Stop meddling in other


    people’s rtionships.”


    Ellinor frowned, when did she interfere with anyone’s rtionship?


    The only reason she had to marry Mr. nchet was because she was forced to.


    Even if she did develop some feelings for Theo afterwards, that was because Theo lied to her.
