Chapter 1217
Chase suddenly sat up. “What’s up?”
Ida was about to tell him that Ellinor had hopped into Theo’s car but got sidetracked by the swollen cheek he was
sporting.
What happened to your face?”
Chase touched his burning cheek and began laughing at himself. “What else? Got slapped by a woman.”
Ida looked at him with a glimmer of disgust in her eyes. “Serves you right!”
Chase shrugged. “Are you gonna tell me what happened or what?”
Ida got back on track. “Boss just bumped into Theo downstairs. He got her in his car, and now we don’t know where
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthey’re off to. I can’t reach her on the phone either.”
Chase looked puzzled. “Why was Theo hanging around our office building?”
“He was probably here to pick up Belinda, ran into Boss, and got her into his car, saying that they had some stuff to
hash out.”
The mere mention of Belinda’s name made Chase’s swollen cheek throb even more. Yup, his cheek had been
slapped by Belinda. She packed quite a punch, even splitting his lip. Chase had just wiped off the blood.
He hadn’t done anything. He simply asked her to give him another chance, but ended up getting smacked. It hurt
like hell!
Ida, don’t sweat it. Belinda’s in the car as well; Theo won’t do anything to her, especially since she’s carrying his
kid.”
Ida glared at him, clearly annoyed. “I know he won’t do anything to her right now, but do you think he’ll be all
smiles and sunshine? She is heavily pregnant; can she handle the stress? Hurry up and get in touch with Belinda. Go
find her!”
Chase looked embarrassed. “Why do I have to contact her? She just slapped me around. Do you think she’ll take
my call? Ida, you call her!”
“I’ve barely spoken to her; I don’t know her; if I call her, she might not tell me what’s up! What happened to your
smooth moves with the ladies? You’re totally useless when we really need it, huh?”
Chase sighed, looking helpless. “Fine, I’ll call her! Get out; I’ll let you know when I have something.”
“Stop dilly-dallying! Hurry up!” Ida urged him and then left, giving him space to handle the situation.
Chase picked up his phone with a gloomy look on his face.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to call Belinda, but she had blocked all his contacts. He couldn’t reach her now, even if
he wanted to.
Never in his life had a woman cut him off so ruthlessly.
After being slapped, Chase decided to leave Belinda alone, but now, for Ellinor’s sake, he had to bother her again.
He thought for a moment, then picked up the landline on his desk, asking the manager for Belinda’s boyfriend,
Jacob’s contact.
Unable to reach Belinda, he had no choice but to seek help from her boyfriend.
Chase dialed Jacob’s number on his phone.
The phone rang for a while before being answered, and Jacob politely asked, “Hello, who’s speaking?”
Chase replied. “Jacob, it’s me.”
Jacob was just an ordinary employee; he obviously didn’t have the boss’s private phone number, but he quickly
realized it was Chase and immediately sounded a bit nervous. “Mr. Larios, why… why would you suddenly contact
me? Is there anything I can do for you?”
