    Chapter 503


    Bartlett seemed a bit spaced out.


    Then he smiled contentedly, “No worries, Ellinor. I just rushed over after finishing work. Jonah Wyton


    called me and told me that they’re hanging out at the Pavilion in Pearl Moon. I figure Balfour must’ve


    been summoned as well. Wanna tag along and find your boss?”


    Mr. Howard might be with Jonah and the others, and since Theo had definitely left, she wouldn’t run


    into him again. Considering this, Ellinor nodded, “Sure, let’s roll!”


    The Pavilion of Pearl Moon was a separate vi within the estate, a good distance from the party


    venue, and quite peaceful.


    Ellinor followed Bartlett into the Pavilion. Right at the entrance, she spotted three men engrossed in a


    game of poker, with Balfour among them.


    Bartlett chuckled, “What are you guys up to?”


    “Bartlett, you’re just in time, Join us!” Jonahid down his cards, nced up, and saw Ellinor by


    Bartlett’s side. He was taken aback for a moment, then joked in surprise, “Bartlett, yourdy friend


    looks familiar!”


    Bartlett rified, “Don’t get it twisted. Thisdy friend is my secretary Angel. Ellinor came today as


    Balfour’spanion. I just ran into her looking for Balfour, so I brought her over.”


    Jonah looked even more puzzled and turned to Balfour, “Balfour, is that right?”


    “Yes, Ms. Mendoza is currently my secretary” Balfour replied calmly.


    Ellinor had reappeared as Balfour’s secretary after leaving the nchet family?


    Things were getting interesting!


    Jonah gazed at Ellinor for a moment, then turned towards the window, making a face, Theo, an old


    friend of yours is here. Aren’t youing over for a chat?”


    Ellinor was stunned when she heard Jonah say this.


    Theo hadn’t left yet?


    She turned her head and saw Theo loungingzily by the window with a cigarette in his hand,


    surrounded by smoke, looking like a


    heartless statue.


    He just hadn’t joined their poker game, but he hadn’t left Pearl Moon.


    By the time Ellinor snapped back to reality, Bartlett had already led her to a seat.


    As she sat on the couch watching the men y poker, she couldn’t shake off the feeling of an icy gaze


    fixed on her.


    It was ufortable, like sitting on pins and needles or having a fish bone stuck in her throat..


    Plus, she was feeling a bit tired now. Pregnancy made her easily fatigued; she had an injury on her leg,


    and she was simply not feeling well.


    Bartlett noticed her difort and asked, “Ellinor, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”


    Ellinor shook her head, “No, I’m just a bit parched.”


    Bartlett immediately got up to pour her a ss of water, “Here.”


    “Thanks.” Ellinor took the ss.


    Bartlett’s thoughtfulness was touching.


    She took a sip of water and felt slightly better.

    After Bartlett sat down again, he suddenly leaned over and whispered, “If you’re not feeling well, I can


    take you home first. I remember that today should be your period. Are you feeling unwell because of


    that?”


    Ellinor was taken aback and surprised at Bartlett’s words.


    She didn’t feel embarrassed. Having periods was a normal thing for girls. She just found it curious,


    “Why would you remember my period?”


    Bartlett chuckled and whispered in her ear, “Don’t you remember? The first time you came to my


    gallery, it was because you were feeling unwell due to your period. And that day was four months ago


    today.”
