Chapter 18
Ellinor turned to Chase, cocking her head slightly. Years of understanding made Chase instantly get Ellinor’s drift
Clearing his throat, Chase lifted his hand, adjusting the Bluetooth earpiece he typically wore on his left ear Then, with a nonchalant look, he walked past Theo and Ellinor.
He deliberately lowered his voice, pretending to be on a phone call, “It was super awkward just now, I was dissing Mr. Blanchet and he overheard me! Yep, he’s the one who nabbed the painting you were eyeing Let’s just let him have it! Lady Lotus has more than just Whispers in the Wind, we can get another one later”
With that, Chase walked away
Ellinor tumed to Theo, raising her eyebrows innocently. “That guy seemed to be badmouthing you‘
Theo looked at Ellinor, skeptical. “You guys don’t know each other?”
Ellinor shook her head, “No clue who he is! Do you know him? Why would he insult you?”
Theo asked, “What are you doing here?”
Ellinor feigned frustration, sighing, “Come on, I just got canned by Nexus Industries! Heard they were hiring auctioneers here, so! dropped off my resume. I’m here for an interview!”
Theo was still dubious. “Did you get the job?”
Ellinor shook her head and shrugged, “Nope! They’re looking for someone with at least three years of experience, which I don’t have.”
Theo eyed her. She looked really young.
If she were to stand on the auction stage, people might mistake it for a student supplies auction.
Ellinor looked up and asked, “What brings you here?”
“My grandpa wanted some paintings, I’m here to buy them. Theo said.
“Oh, you’re such a good grandson Ellinor said.
Just then, his phone rang. Theo answered the call, frowning, then hung up.
Afterward, he looked at Ellinor thoughtfully, “Where are you heading next?”
Ellinor answered nonchalantly, “I’ll keep sending out resumes and job hunting.”
Theo gently patted her head, leaning down slightly, his voice low and irresistible, “Come with me, I can give you a job.”
“What?” Ellinor was taken aback.
Before she could think, he grabbed her wrist and led her away.
Pearl Moon.
This was Ellinor’s second time here, the previous time was when Theo forcibly brought her here to get engaged.
The surrounding decorations were grand and beautiful, with colorful flowers, red carpet, ribbons, balloons.
Ellinor looked astonished, “What are you up to this time, sir? Don’t tell me you want to throw another wedding?”
Theo glanced at her impassively, “Are you that eager to marry an older man like me? You want another Western–style wedding?”
Ellinor was about to retort when a girl’s voice rang out, “Theo!”
