The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 444

Ellinor and Bartlett locked eyes for a moment before she looked down and started munching on the

grilled beef

After finishing, she wiped her mouth and said to Bartlett, “Mr. Rex, thanks for spilling the beans about

Lady Lotus Today But I can’t be sure if everything you said is legit; I need to do some digging As for

your question, I’ve gotta think about it.”

This response caught Bartlett off guard, but at least he wasn’t shot down right away

“I won’t pressure you I just hope you consider me someone you can lum to when you’re in a pickle”

“Mr. Rex you’re quite the good Samaritan. If I need help. I’ll keep you in mind.”

The reason she said she needed to think was mainly because if she straight–up rejected Bartlett, he

might keep trying to persuade her.

And she was totally done hearing it.

Bartlett wanted to win her over, “Can we exchange contacts?”

Ellinor thought for a moment, then pulled out her phone and handed it to him.

Bartlett caught her drift right away. He took the phone, punched in his number, and then dialed his own

number from her phone, saving hers as well.

Then he handed the phone back to her, grinning, “Ellinor, I’m really chuffed”

“As long as you’re happy, Mr. Rex. These eats will be rubbish if they’re overcooked”

“I’d be even more chuffed if you called me Bartlett.”

‘Sure thing. Mr. Rex”

After the meal, they left the restaurant. In the mall, a TV in an electronics store was broadcasting a

news piece.

“An heir to a multinational corporation is set to get hitched with the daughter of a Greenhaven bigwig, a

high–powered match!”

Ellinor watched the news on the TV in silence.

The news showed silhouettes of a man and a woman, with their identities kept under wraps.

But anyone who knew them could tell who they were at a glance.

Bartlett, standing next to Ellinor, was also watching the news, seeming a bit surprised, “Blimey! Theo

and Patri finally made it past their family’s hurdles, a real fairy tale ending”

Ellinor smirked sardonically and looked away, “Mr. Rex, that’ll do for today. I’m off, see ya.”

“Hold on! Ellinor, when can I see you again?”

“If fate wills it, we’ll cross paths again” Ellinor gave a wave and walked away, leaving Bartlett behind.

Bartlett didn’t chase after her; he stood there, watching her leave for a long time.

Ellinor returned to her place in Hiland City.

Chase was lounging on the couch gaming. Seeing Ellinor’s return, he set down his phone and asked,

“You’re back. Did you see Master Michell?

Ellinor looked drained, she sat down and stared blankly, “No”

Chase was puzzled, “If you didn’t see Master Michell, why are you only getting back now?”
