Ellinor, phone in hand, said, “Mr. Blanchet probably hasn’t left yet. I’m calling his secretary now to see if
we can get him to come back.”
Sheila froze, suddenly on edge. “What? How’d you get Mr. Blanchet’s secretary’s number?”
Ellinor casually replied, “Oh, I happened to run into Mr. Blanchet’s secretary when I came out of the
restroom earlier and we chatted a bit. I got his number then.”
“Why’d you need his secretary’s number? Are you trying to catch his eye again?” Sheila retorted
sarcastically.
Ellinor shook her head earnestly. “I’m not trying to attract anyone… I’m your assistant now, getting paid
by you, so I need to do my job I need to know more people and resources, hence why I took the

Sheila eyed Ellinor skeptically, scoffing, “Then give that secretary a call now. I’d like to see if you can
persuade Mr. Blanchet to come back!”
“I’ll do my best. “Ellinor lowered her head and turned away to make the call…
Soon, the call connected Collin, the secretary, answered respectfully, “Ms. Mendoza, what can I do for
you?”
Ellinor politely requested, “Could you tell Mr. Blanchet that I was in the wrong earlier and I hope he
could return for the meal?”
Collin was taken aback by Ellinor’s sudden politeness, then replied, “I’m sorry, Ms. Mendoza. Mr.
Blanchet is off to a meeting, he may not be able to return”
Ellinor sighed regretfully, “I see…
Sheila was next to Ellinor, listening carefully, but unfortunately, she couldn’t hear the voice on the other
end of the phone.
Ellinor thought for a moment, then asked, ‘Is he available tonight? I’d like to cook him a meal as an
apology, I hope he could give me a chance, is it possible?”
Collin hesitated, “Umm… let me ask Mr. Blanchet.”
Ellinor nodded, “Alright”
The car was smoothly driving on the road.
Collin, from the passenger seat, looked back at Mr. Blanchet settling in the back…

furrowed, leaning back on the seat with his eyes closed, lost in thought… But one thing Collin was sure

Hearing her name, recalling the slap on his face. Theo was visibly annoyed. Without opening his eyes,
he simply said, “No.”
Collin helplessly turned back to the phone, “Ms. Mendoza, he’s not…”
Suddenly, Theo opened his eyes, sternly saying, “Ask her when and where.”
Collin’s words were cut off, he paused, “…Alright”
After discussing the time and place with Ellinor on the phone, Collin hung up, turned to Theo and
reported: “Ms. Mendoza wants to meet you at 8 o’clock tonight, in room 808 of the Moonscape Hotel.”
Theo thought, meeting him in a hotel… for dinner?
