Ellinor said, “I’m here for work, not for fun. Even if you’re not dropping me home, you could at least
leave me somewhere I can hail a taxi, right?”
Balfour squinted, “Ms. Mendoza, you’re asking for a bit much hem”
Ellinor stared him down, “Any boss with some decency wouldn’t treat their employees like this”
Balfour chuckled lightly, “What’s wrong, Ms. Mendoza? Can’t handle a little adversity?
You were the one who confidently told me you weren’t like my sister. She wilts like a flower in a
greenhouse at the slightest breeze. But you can thrive in any
situation
Ms. Mendoza, if you’re so sure you can survive anything, let’s see how you handle tonight’s challenge.
I believe in you, Ms. Mendoza. I’m sure you can find your way off this highway just fine.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEllinor bit her lip and held back her anger as she listened to Balfour.
She wouldn’t be playing secretary to this jerk if it weren’t for her mother’s case. But now that she was in
it, she was in it till the end.
With this in mind, Ellinor smiled, “Fine, Mr. Howard. I won’t disappoint you. Have a smooth ride, and I’ll
see you at the office tomorrow.”
With that, she opened the car door and hopped out without hesitation.
You’re not supposed to stop on the highway, but Balfour had the driver pull over just to let her out.
And the sudden detour to the highway was definitely a setup.
To think this guy was her own brother
Once Ellinor was out, the car took off without wasting a second.
Quinton, sitting in the passenger seat, watched Ellinor disappear into the darkness and felt a pang of
sadness. He turned to Balfour, “Mr. Howard, it’s not safe for Ms. Mendoza to be out on the highway this
late…”
Balfour glanced at him, “What? Are you smitten with her too?”
Quinton blushed and quickly shook his head, “No, Mr. Howard. I just think that if anything happens to
Ms. Mendoza, it would look bad for you and the company.”
Balfour smirked, “Don’t worry, she’s not the type to let anything happen to her.”
What type? What did Mr. Howard think of Ms. Mendoza? Quinton couldn’t make sense of his boss’s
sudden change of attitude.
On the way, Mr. Howard was all gentlemanly, worrying about Ms. Mendoza getting cold and asking him
to give her a coat.
But now he was leaving her on the highway?
Weird
Shutting his phone, Balfour looked out into the night, his face unreadable.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe had just been playing cards at Pearl Moon with Jonah when Patri called him over to show him the
coat he had lent Ellinor, which was found by the mansion’s servants in the yard.
Based on the servants’ account, the coat was found right under the bathroom window of the second
floor room.
Which meant Ellinor was indeed up to something she shouldn’t have been with York Mayes in the
room. But when he knocked on the door, she jumped out of the bathroom window in time and
pretended to have just come in from outside to prove her innocence.
She was nimble and cunning. She seemed honest and straightforward but was actually deceitful and
good at disguising herself.
She effortlessly got Bartlett to keep hitting on her, and just now, during the blackout, she even ended up
in the arms of Theo, whom she claimed she didn’t want to
see
Patri was right, Ellinor had ulterior motives for becoming my secretary.
