Bartlett stared at her with an intense gaze. “You and Theo never really tied the knot, you know. That
ceremony was just a ruse to make his old man happy, and you didn’t even have any significant
witnesses.
Now, you’re basically working for their family without any official recognition. No matter how much you
do for them, the day they decide you’re no longer of use, they can cut you loose. And then, you’ll be left
with nothing.”
Ellinor hit the return key one last time, saving her document.
She then tiredly yawned and turned to Bartlett. “So, you think I’m helping the Blanchets in hopes of
getting a piece of their pie?”
Bartlett shook his head. “Of course not. But when they use you and then cast you aside, it’s going to
hurt.”
Ellinor shrugged. “Whether I’m being used or whether I’m doing this with no recognition, it doesn’t
matter. Until we find Theo, I’ll hold down the fort. When he returns, I’ll give it back to him, just as it was.
Everything else is inconsequential.”
Bartlett watched her as he fell silent.
Yes, other women might make foolish sacrifices out of confusion, but Ellinor knew exactly what she
was doing. She knew what mattered to her and didn’t care about the gain or loss.
Such a girl couldn’t be considered astute.
But what drew him to her was this very purity of hers, wasn’t it?.
With that thought, Bartlett smiled and decided not to say anything that would upset her further.
“Alright, as long as you know what you’re doing. Enough about that, Ellinor. Today’s your first day as
the temporary CEO of Blanchet Corporation, and I came here especially to cheer you on. Do you have
time for dinner after work?”
Ellinor took a sip of her bottled water, giving him no quarter. “No time.”
Bartlett had expected her to decline, so he quickly countered. “Don’t worry; it won’t be just us. Your
brother will be there too. How about a relaxing dinner?” Ellinor replied, “No, I really don’t have the time.
After work, I have to pick up the children. I promised to take them to the amusement park.”
Bartlett frowned. “Ellinor, aren’t you stretching yourself too thin? Running a corporation and taking care
of three kids is a lot.”
Ellinor explained, “Usually, there’s a professional nanny who takes care of them. Today, I’m going
because I promised to take them to the amusement park.” “That’s a relief then.” Although Bartlett was
disappointed that, he couldn’t schedule dinner with Ellinor, he didn’t let that deter him from changing his
strategy. “Ellinor, it’s been a while since I’ve seen your three little ones, and I happen to have some free
time today. Why don’t I accompany you to the amusement park?” Ellinor looked at him with distaste.
“Mr. Rex, it’s a virtue to avoid the appearance of impropriety.”
Bartlett shrugged nonchalantly. “Avoid what? We’re not going on a one–on–one date. Surely, you’re not
planning to take three kids to the park by yourself. If I’m not mistaken, your sister–in–law, Veronica, will
be joining you, right?
Ellinor, what’s the harm in bringing along one more friend? It’s been a long time since I’ve been to an
amusement park. Maybe I can relive my childhood memories today.”
Ellinor was speechless.
Bartlett cast her a flirtatious wink. “I can also act as your driver, carry your bags when you’re tired, and
even help with the kids.”
“I have a driver.”
“Great, it’s settled then. I’ll pick you up after work, and we’ll go get the kids.”
Ellinor was taken aback.
Having made the decision, Bartlett didn’t give her a chance to refuse. He simply waved and sauntered
off.
