Chapter 973


    After watching their boss get into the car, Chase and Ida turned around to look at Ellinor, who was


    yawning


    Chase seemed a bit peeved, asking. “Boss, why are you the only one here? Didn’t the nchet family


    send anyone to help you? Where’s Mr. nchet?”


    Ida pitched in her own question too, “What’s the deal with the nchet family? Are they worried you’ll


    flunk the test and are in a hurry to cut ties with you?”


    Ellinor, looking a bit tired, shook her head, “It’s not thatplicated. Mr. nchet dropped me off. I


    didn’t think the situation was that serious, so I had him head to the office.”


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    Chase frowned, “You told him to go, and he just went? Does he really love you? He left you alone with


    those vicious media people. Isn’t he worried you’ll get picked on?”


    Ellinor raised an eyebrow lightly, “You think I’d get bullied?”


    Chase shrugged, “I know you won’t be bullied; you’re a real schr! But does Mr. nchet know you?”


    Ellinor responded. “Him staying wouldn’t help, it would just attract more media attention. And right now,


    I don’t want the media to link me too closely with the nchet family. I don’t want any of my


    movements to impact the nchet family’s stock prices, so I can’t give the media too clear a picture of


    my rtionship with them.”


    Chase mulled this over and admitted it made sense, “Okay, I just thought it’s tough that when the chips


    are down, your boyfriend isn’t there for you to lean on, and you’re shouldering everything like before.”


    Ellinor shot him a nce, “Mind your own business! How’s that thing I asked you to deal withst


    time?”


    Chase grinned, ying dumb, “Boss, you’re always assigning me tasks; I have no idea which one


    you’re referring to!


    Ellinor gave him a stern look, “Stop ying dumb! Is Belinda Wesley still working at thepany?”


    Chase spread his hands, “She is!”


    Ellinor narrowed her eyes, “What’s her position?”


    Chase chuckled, “My secretary…”


    Ellinor furrowed her brows unhappily, “You’re taking my words lightly. Are you just keeping her around


    for fun?”


    Chase waved his hands, “No, no, boss, I wouldn’t dare mess with your niece! I’ve just been


    intentionally keeping her closetely.”


    Ellinor stared at him seriously, “What do you mean by that?”


    Chase sighed in irritation, “Didn’t you say that I should find a way to make Belinda dislike me? But I’m


    not supposed to hurt her pride. So I kept her close to let her see what kind of person I am. Eventually,


    she’ll be fed up and quit on her own. If I fired her outright, she’d never let go. What woman would give


    up a charming man like me?”


    After finishing his exnation, he was met with skeptical looks from the two girls in the car.


    Ellinor asked again, “How are you showing her your true self?”


    Chaseughed unabashedly, covering his face shyly, “I’m too embarrassed to say.”


    Ellinor was speechless.


    Ida couldn’t stand his disgusting behavior anymore and spoke for him, “He brings different women into


    his office every day, and they do inappropriate things, making a terrible impression”


    Chase rolled his eyes, ‘ida, don’t make things up! Would I really mess around in my office? I’m just


    putting on a show for the secretaries outside”


    Ida scoffed, “You think just because it’s an act, you’re still a pure person?”
