Patricia scrunched up her face in innocence, “Bro, I get it. I messed up, and I owe Ellinor an apology.
But I don’t think we need to make a big deal out of this. Ellinor is now Mrs. Blanchet, a part of the
Blanchet family. And we all know the Howards and the Blanchets aren’t exactly best buds. If you’re
bending over backward for Mrs. Blanchet, people might think we’re chickening out…”
Balfour’s face turned grim. “The Blanchets are the Blanchets, and she is she! Do you think we
shouldn’t take her seriously? You, of all people, should treat her right!”
Patricia was taken aback, quickly defending herself, “Bro, I do respect Ellinor. I even invited her for a
ride today, didn’t mind asking the driver to go out of the way to drop her home. I just feel you haven’t
really done anything wrong to her, and there’s no need for you to grovel. It breaks my heart to see you
like this…”
Balfour gave her a cold stare and said, “You don’t need to worry about me.”
With that, he turned and walked back into his office.
With no one stopping her, Patricia bit her lip in frustration, picked up her packed food, and followed
Balfour into the CEO’s office.
Down in the Howard Group’s building lobby.
Ellinor was almost dozing off when someone knocked on her car window, waking her up.
“Ms. Mendoza!” Quinton called out softly.
Ellinor came to her senses, rolling down the window with a dazed look, “Quinton, what’s up?”
He hadn’t been too friendly towards Ellinor because of Balfour’s attitude before, but Ms. Mendoza
never held it against him and was always polite.
“Ms. Mendoza, the boss has invited you up. Since you’re here already, would you like to join us for
lunch?”
Ellinor waved him off nonchalantly, “Thanks for the offer, but I’ll pass.”
Quinton had expected this and wasn’t too surprised, although he couldn’t help feeling a bit
disappointed.
Ms. Mendoza didn’t have the best experience working at the Howard Group, so her reluctance to come
upstairs was understandable.
Quinton thought for a moment, then invited her again, “Ms. Mendoza, it’s lunchtime here at the
company. I remember you used to like our cafeteria food. Treat the Howard Group as a restaurant;
come up for a meal. It would make your trip worthwhile.”
Ellinor really did like the Howard Group’s cafeteria food, especially the grilled salmon. It was to her
liking, and she remembered its taste from her days working there!
Back then, Quinton had been ordered by Balfour to keep tabs on her, so he knew her cafeteria
preferences.
Ellinor raised an eyebrow, her interest piqued by the food, “Even if I’m not a Howard Group employee, I
can still eat in your cafeteria?”
Quinton nodded respectfully, “Of course, if it’s you.”
Ellinor asked again, “Do I need to pay?”
Quinton replied, “Impossible! Mr. Howard would never let you pay. You can have whatever you want, as
much as you want!”
Ellinor’s face fell, her interest instantly gone, “I won’t eat if I don’t have to pay! Forget it!”
Quinton managed a weak smile, “Then you can pay!”
That finally got Ellinor out of the car, ready to have a meal before heading back to the Blanchet family’s
house. After all, there was nothing awaiting her back home anyway.
Before entering the Howard Group, Ellinor saw a line by the ice cream window of a fast food restaurant
across the street. Wanting some, she told Quinton, “Quinton, you go on ahead. I’ll join the queue for an
ice cream across the street before going up.
