The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 514

Chapter 514 

When he awkwardly brought up that one chaotic night, a blush crept up Ellinor’s clean. 

Theo saw her embarrassed reaction. 

That was the reaction she was supposed to have to him. She was supposed to feel shy and nervous, like a little woman with feelings. 

A month later, when they met again, she had no reaction and was indifferent. She didn’t give a damn and even ignored his existence 

“Ellinor” 

Theo suddenly called her name, his voice low and magnetic. 

Ellinor looked at him warily. “Mr. Blanchet, if you have something to say, spit it out!” 

Theo moved his hand from her jaw to her chin, lifting her small face. 

Ellinor felt that Theo’s attitude suddenly became a bit strange, seeming displeased yet flirty. 

In fact, with their current relationship, any particular nickname could potentially cause an unnecessary misunderstanding 

She frowned, explaining seriously, “Mr. Blanchet, we used to be partners. But now that I’m Mr. Howard’s secretary and you’re Mr. Howard’s friend, I should respect you, I can’t be as casual as before.” 

Theo’s eyes dimmed upon hearing her mention of Mr. Howard, “Your Mr. Howard just left you on the highway; it seems like he doesn’t treat you like his employee, yet you’re still loyal and dedicated to him.” 

Ellinor was speechless. Yes, she also thought that Balfour’s behavior of leaving his employees on the highway was too much. 

After a few seconds of silence, Ellinor put on a brave face and forced a smile, “Maybe all bosses are heartless like this! Since I chose this job, I have to accept the boss’s test. For me, as long as I get paid on time, that’s a good boss.” 

Theo looked at her stubborn attitude, feeling both angry and soft-hearted. 

She went out to find a job, was heartlessly left on the highway by her boss, and could still keep going. 

He had been angry at her for sneaking away, angry at her for deliberately hiding her actions from him, but when he saw that she was safe, he wasn’t angry 

anymore. 

He didn’t dwell on why she left quietly, he didn’t want to lash out at her or pressure her, as long as she was okay and as long as she was willing to come back. 

She was young and still full of curiosity about the world. She hadn’t fully experienced it. It was understandable for her to go out and make a mess, as long as she knew to come back home. 

Theo was silent. He adjusted his mood and restrained himself from venting his anger at her. He didn’t want to scare her away just after finding her. 

After Theo let go of his pent-up anger, his eyes gradually became greedy, lingering on the girl’s thin and moist lips, his thumb gently caressing her tower lip. “If you want a salary, I can give that to you. How much do you want? I’ll give it to you. Will you come home with me?” 

Come home with me? 

Was Theo trying to coax her?
