    Chapter 1217


    Chase suddenly sat up. “What’s up?”


    Ida was about to tell him that Ellinor had hopped into Theo’s car but got sidetracked by the swollen


    cheek he was sporting.


    What happened to your face?”


    Chase touched his burning cheek and beganughing at himself. “What else? Got pped by a


    woman.”


    Ida looked at him with a glimmer of disgust in her eyes. “Serves you right!”


    Chase shrugged. “Are you gonna tell me what happened or what?”


    Ida got back on track. “Boss just bumped into Theo downstairs. He got her in his car, and now we don’t


    know where they’re off to. I can’t reach her on the phone either.”


    Chase looked puzzled. “Why was Theo hanging around our office building?”


    “He was probably here to pick up Belinda, ran into Boss, and got her into his car, saying that they had


    some stuff to hash out.”


    The mere mention of Belinda’s name made Chase’s swollen cheek throb even more. Yup, his cheek


    had been pped by Belinda. She packed quite a punch, even splitting his lip. Chase had just wiped


    off the blood.


    He hadn’t done anything. He simply asked her to give him another chance, but ended up getting


    smacked. It hurt like hell!


    Ida, don’t sweat it. Belinda’s in the car as well; Theo won’t do anything to her, especially since she’s


    carrying his kid.”


    Ida red at him, clearly annoyed. “I know he won’t do anything to her right now, but do you think he’ll


    be all smiles and sunshine? She is heavily pregnant; can she handle the stress? Hurry up and get in


    touch with Belinda. Go find her!”


    Chase looked embarrassed. “Why do I have to contact her? She just pped me around. Do you think


    she’ll take my call? Ida, you call her!”


    “I’ve barely spoken to her; I don’t know her; if I call her, she might not tell me what’s up! What


    happened to your smooth moves with thedies? You’re totally useless when we really need it, huh?”


    Chase sighed, looking helpless. “Fine, I’ll call her! Get out; I’ll let you know when I have something.”


    “Stop dilly-dallying! Hurry up!” Ida urged him and then left, giving him space to handle the situation.


    Chase picked up his phone with a gloomy look on his face.


    It wasn’t that he didn’t want to call Belinda, but she had blocked all his contacts. He couldn’t reach her


    now, even if he wanted to.


    Never in his life had a woman cut him off so ruthlessly.


    After being pped, Chase decided to leave Belinda alone, but now, for Ellinor’s sake, he had to


    bother her again.

    He thought for a moment, then picked up thendline on his desk, asking the manager for Belinda’s


    boyfriend, Jacob’s contact.


    Unable to reach Belinda, he had no choice but to seek help from her boyfriend.


    Chase dialed Jacob’s number on his phone.


    The phone rang for a while before being answered, and Jacob politely asked, “Hello, who’s speaking?”


    Chase replied. “Jacob, it’s me.”


    Jacob was just an ordinary employee; he obviously didn’t have the boss’s private phone number, but


    he quickly realized it was Chase and immediately sounded a bit nervous. “Mr. Larios, why… why would


    you suddenly contact me? Is there anything I can do for you?”
