Chapter 12
Ellinor had swapped her top for a guy's T-shirt. Feeling a bit
cold due to the open car window, she decided to also wear the suit jacket that the man just draped over “I heard that you lost your job?"
While aimlessly staring out of the car window, Ellinor heard Theo's deep voice.
Ellinor smirked, “Yes, all thanks to you!”
Theo nonchalantly flipped
through the files in his hand. “I gave you guys a chance, but you messed up. By my standards, that plar Feeling a bit sleepy, Ellinor yawned.
“Oh! I'm no longer a Nexus Industries employee, you don't need to justify anything to me.”
Theo flipped another page, casually saying, “If you're looking for an internship in a company... “Mister, could you stop up ahead?”
Ellinor cut him off, looking out of the window as if she spotted something. The moment the driver stopp She found a window seat, stuck her hand out of the window, gave the Mercedes behind her a thumbs— up, and then slowly rotated it 180 degrees downward in a dismissive gesture.
The bus slowly drove away, and only then did she pull her hand back in.
Watching this, Collin's temples were throbbing. This Ms. Mendoza was incredibly bold, no one in Green, “Mr. Blanchet, your suit jacket was taken by Ms. Mendoza. You have a project completion ribbon— cutting ceremony this afternoon...”
“Just have someone deliver a new one."
Theo frowned, his face stern, as he continued to scan through his documents.
“Understood!”
Collin added, "Veronica just called to say she’s been hospitalized.
Theo looked up slightly, “Why was she hospitalized?”
Collin explained, “This morning, Ms. Mendoza shoved Veronica's head into the toilet bow! and made he “What did the doctor say?”
“The doctor said there's nothing serious, she'll be fine after an IV, a good meal, and a couple of days of stop, she insists that you go back and avenge her by teaching Ms. Mendoza a lesson...”
Theo expressionless, “Veronica's always been spoiled by her grandmother and is used to getting her wa bit. Don't bother with her
Collin was taken aback, noticing that Mr. Blanchet seemed to be particularly lenient towards Ms. Mend. He turned to ask, “Then, since Ms. Mendoza lost her job today, should we find her another one?”
Theo casually replied, “Don’t bother with her, as long as she doesn't do anything to damage the reputa "..Understood!"
At first, Collin thought that Mr. Blanchet might have had some special feelings for Ms. Mendoza, but it That's right, Mr. Blanchet's heart only had room for Ms. Howard, and that hadn't changed over the year But because the Blanchet family and the Howard family were sworn enemies, their love couldn't be fulf Ellinor took the bus home to pack her things. She would be staying with the Blanchet family for the nex wearing his clothes.
Upon walking in, she ran into Sheila, who was home because she lost her job.
Sheila always treated Ellinor
arrogantly. When she saw Ellinor come back, she immediately put on a haughty attitude.
“Oh, its you. I thought it was my takeaway!”
Ellinor didn't bother to engage Sheila, she just sidestepped her and headed upstairs
But Sheila was relentless, blocking her way and looking at her with contempt.
“Ellinor, you came home wearing men’s clothes? You didn't come home last night. Did you spend the ni Before Ellinor could explain, Sheila started screaming.
“Dad! Mom! Come quick! Look at what Ellinor is wearing!”
Arnold came out of his room, his face turned serious upon seeing the men’s clothes on Ellinor.
“Ellinor, why are you wearing men’s clothes? Where did you go last night?”
Following him out, Tracy looked shocked at the scene, “This... this is absolutely unacceptable! Ellinor, yo Sheila chimed in, “Dad, Ellinor refused to meet the guys mom set her up with, but she spent the night o Arnold's face darkened even more, he angrily said, “Ellinor, explain yourself right now. What's the deal v Ellinor calmly explained to her father Arnold, “Dad, my clothes got wet due to an accident, so I borrowe else's. I'l wash and
return them.”
Sheila scoffed, “Borrowed clothes? Who would believe that?”
Arnold suspiciously asked. “Then where did you go last night?”
Ellinor replied, “I found a place to rent last night, so I stayed
there. I'm here to pack my stuff and move out”
To her, the Blanchet family was like a rented house. The rent being three months of her time.
Arnold frowned, “You're moving out? You got a home and you're not staying? Where are you moving tc Tracy mocked from the side, “Arnold, is Ellinor planning to shack up with some man? Living together be Sheila sneered, “Ha, she’s already started not coming home at night and coming back in men’s clothes. Arnold looked more and more upset, staring at Ellinor in disappointment.
Ellinor looked at Tracy and Sheila, smiling lightly.
“Thanks for your concern Auntie Tracy and Sheila! I'm
just an ordinary person. No matter what embarrassing things I do, no one knows me, not even many oj “On the other hand, Sheila, you are a big
star, very famous. A little gossip can make you a hot topic. You should be more careful about your repu because of this, Auntie Tracy will have to worry about you again.”
Sheila was furious, “Ellinor, who are you saying can't get married?”
Ellinor pretended to be surprised, “Oh, I forgot. Sheila, you got married yesterday! By the way, where's y in-law to me?”
The room went silent... Arnold's anger was redirected at Tracy and Sheila! Thinking about yesterday's w Ellinor added, “Dad, it was fine for me to stay at home when I was still studying, but now I'm an adult c Comparing Ellinor to Tracy and Sheila, Amold felt she was much more obedient.
So he waved his hand, “Do whatever you want. If you want to move out, just do it. The house is a mess “Thanks, Dad."
Ellinor glanced at Tracy and Sheila, then turned and went upstairs.
While she was changing. Sheila barged in. Just as she was about to yell at her, Sheila suddenly saw the What! The jacket turned out to be from FA, a luxury brand!
How come this country bumpkin, Ellinor, came across such a high-end piece of man’s clothing!
