The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 1214

Chapter 1214 

Ida had no interest in pointlessly arguing with Byran here. “Alright, scoot over and wait a bit; we have some big stuff to go over.” 

Byran seemed a bit miffed and crossed his arms in front of his chest. Since the person in the office was Ellinor, he didn’t feel like an outsider. He didn’t think there was anything that he shouldn’t be privy to, so he didn’t want to leave. 

Ellinor didn’t take Byran’s attitude to heart. She looked up and asked Ida. “Any news from the Blanchet Corp?” 

Ida replied honestly. “They agreed to come over tomorrow afternoon for a detailed discussion about the collaboration.” 

Ellinor nodded slightly, then stood up. “Alright, gotcha. No need to shoo Byran away. I’ll head out and leave you two be.” 

Ida glanced at Byran, resignedly explaining. “Boss, you’re not bothering us. You don’t have to rush off. I’ll get him out of your hair in no time.” 

Ellinor waved a dismissive hand. “I’m not leaving because of him. I’m just done for the day and feeling a bit pooped. I’m gonna head back and unwind; you two keep talking.” 

Ida asked. “Should I have the driver take you home?” 

Ellinor waved her off again. “No need; I haven’t had a chance to stroll around in a while. I’ll just walk around the neighborhood and grab a cab home.” 

With that, Ellinor headed towards the office door, opened it, and left. 

Ida was still a bit concerned. She followed her out and asked her secretary to go with Ellinor for a bit before heading home. 

Ellinor was pregnant now, so it was indeed a bit inconvenient for her to be on her own, so she didn’t turn down the offer of company. 

What she didn’t expect was to bump into Theo at the entrance of the company building. 

Theo was sitting in his car, lowering half of his window, revealing his chiseled profile. 

By the car, Belinda was introducing a pretty-faced young man to Theo. 

“Uncle, this is my boyfriend. I told you about him before; his name is Jacob.” 

Theo looked at Jacob with an uncaring gaze. 

Jacob seemed very nervous, not knowing where to put his hands. “Hello, I’ll take good care of Belinda.” 

Theo was not a woman, so he wasn’t interested in promises made by men. He simply said, “Alright, hop in the car.” 

Jacob was obviously too nervous; he didn’t move for a while. 

Belinda helplessly nudged her boyfriend. “Jacob, what are you spacing out for? My uncle told you to get in the car!” 

Jacob suddenly snapped back to reality. He looked flustered and was sheepishly scratching his head. “Uh… thank you.” 

As Belinda was laughing and pushing Jacob into the car, she accidentally spotted Ellinor, who was being helped down the steps by Ida’s secretary. 

She paused for a moment, then instinctively looked at her uncle.
