    Chapter 1212


    In Ida’s office.


    Ellinor was sitting at Ida’s desk, diligently going through thepany’s financial reports for thest six


    months and a few of the most recent projects.


    Ida called her secretary and asked her to prepare a ss of milk for Ellinor.


    Ida took the milk from her secretary and personally handed it to Ellinor. “Have some milk before you


    continue reading.”


    Ellinor grunted in acknowledgment and took a sip of the milk, but her gaze never left theputer


    screen.


    At that moment, Ida’s phone rang, and she stepped aside to take the call.


    After hanging up, Ida’s facial expression becameplicated. “Boss…”

    Ellinor’s gaze stayed fixed on theputer screen. “What’s up? Spit it out!”


    Ida adjusted her sses. “The call was from the head of the nchet Corporation.”


    Ellinor’s hand movement faltered; as expected, the nchet Corporation was knocking on their door


    “Hmm, what did the head of the nchet Corporation say?”


    “The head of the nchet Corporation said that they’re very satisfied with the new office building we


    designed and that they’re interested in working with us again. The nchet Corporation ns to


    develop a new project soon, and they want us to undertake it, so they want to arrange a meeting to


    discuss


    it.”


    Ellinor looked up at Ida and asked. “What do you think?”


    Ida also found the nchet Corporation’s actions unusual. Normally, people in the industry would fight


    over their projects; it was rare for the nchet Corporation to actively seek out a partner.


    Moreover, Theo had already discovered her whereabouts.


    Something was definitely up.


    After some thought, Ida said. “I think we should reject it. There’s no need for us to meet.”


    Ellinor chuckled. “Why not take it? Who doesn’t want to make money?”


    Ida looked at her in confusion. “Are you sure you want to take this project?”


    Ellinor put down her mouse, leaned back in her chair, and slowly sipped her milk. “The problem isn’t


    whether I’m sure or not, but the fact that the nchet Corporation hasn’t given us a choice. Even if we


    reject this project, they’ll quicklye up with another one. Even if we refuse the project, they can find


    another way in. Since the nchet Corporation came directly to us, it’s like they’veid their cards on


    the table. Let’s take this project and then see what our next move should be.”


    Having thought it through, Ida agreed. After all, Theo wasn’t easy to deal with.


    “Ellinor, I understand. I’ll arrange a meeting with the head of the nchet Corporation and see what


    they’re up to.”


    Ellinor lowered her head to drink her milk, but her mind was racing.


    It seemed that her standoff with Theo had begun. Although it wasn’t what she had wanted, it was


    inevitable. Theo knew that she cared about Ida, Chase, and the Crescent Society, so he would


    definitely target them.


    She could only take one step at a time.

    Ida stepped aside to return the call and arrange a meeting with the head of the nchet Corporation.


    Meanwhile, a knock was heard at the office door. Assuming it was a subordinate bringing in


    documents, Ellinor casually said, “Come in.”
