Sheila seemed to be in a funk again. After Ellinor said yes to her, she hung up and went looking for
Sheila
In this swanky restaurant, there weren’t a lot of patrons during lunchtime. The spot Sheila had reserved
was near the floor to ceiling windows, where you could enjoy the river view while eating It was a VIP
spot with a minimum spend.
She only booked this spot to show off in front of Theo!
Normally, she would never shell out this much cash for a reservation What ticked her off was that
despite spending all this money on the spot and ordering the priciest dish, the guy left without even
taking a bite!
At that moment. Ellinor was approaching from the distance Seeing Sheila sitting by the window, looking

The table was empty except for Sheila Theo was gone.
Ellinor had had a feeling Sheila wouldn’t call her in that tone in front of Theo, so the guy probably had
left.
“Sheila, what’s up? You called me back for something? Ellinor asked.
Upon hearing her voice, Sheila immediately turned around, glaring at her angrily, “Ellinor, are you
messing with me?”
Ellinor gave her a confused look, “What?”
Sheila was fuming, “Ignoring my calls on purpose! Ellinor, don’t you know, Mr. Blanchet left because
you didn’t show up. He thought you were insincere in your apology and left without even tasting the
food!”
Ellinor wrinkled her brows in innocence, “If I remember correctly, wasn’t it you who told me to pretend I
was sick and not to come back?”
Sheila’s face froze but she didn’t back down, instead, she got even more pissed because she got
called out. She pointed at Ellinor and yelled: ‘I called you to come back the moment Mr. Blanchet
showed his displeasure. It’s because your phone was off that Mr. Blanchet got angry and left! If you’d
answered the phone and came back to apologize to Mr. Blanchet properly, he wouldn’t have left!
Ellinor, it’s all your fault! You’re a jinx!”
Ellinor was speechless.
Sheila couldn’t keep the guy around, and that was her fault?
Sheila was already annoyed that she had wasted a ton of money on this reservation. Seeing Ellinor
standing in front of her with her don’t–care attitude only made her even more pissed. She said.
“I don’t care! If you can’t get Mr. Blanchet to come back and have dinner with me today, I’m going to
fine you. You’ll pay for this meal!”

Sheila gave Ellinor a disdainful look, “If you don’t have any money, give me back the salary I advanced
you!”
Sheila knew she was broke. What money could a country bumpkin have?
Even though she had already lost a lot on the meal, she now had to recover Ellinor’s salary, at least to
offset part of the loss.
Ellinor, however, shook her head. “I didn’t do anything wrong. It’s not fair to dock my salary!”
Seeing her dare to talk back, Sheila got even angrier, “You didn’t do anything wrong? You were the one
who spilled on Mr. Blanchet! Mr. Blanchet just left because of you! If you still think you didn’t do
anything wrong. I’ll call dad right now and let him be the judge!”
Ellinor lowered her head, looking a bit scared, “Sheila, don’t call dad, I’ll figure out a solution…”
Sheila rolled her eyes, “Hmph, what can you do? Just give me the money back!”
