Collin, sitting in the passenger seat, had a complex expression. He signaled the driver to stop the car, and then they both got out, moving away to avoid disturbing.
Ellinor's face was rigid, her hands gripping the hem of her white T-shirt, slowly pulling it up...
Theo was lazily leaning against the car door. His neutral gaze fell on her with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
At Nexus Industries.
Morgan was severely reprimanded by Joseph for mishandling personnel and favoring his relatives.
Joseph even issued him an ultimatum. If he couldn't find a way to recoup today's losses that led to the failure of the project and cooperation with the Blanchet family, he would be fired just like his relative Debby!
Morgan was at his wit's end, driving out to find a solution. He was worrying about how to keep his job when he unexpectedly saw Mr. Blanchet's car parked by the road.
Mr. Blanchet was still here? This was a godsend! He could seize this opportunity to explain to Mr. Blanchet why the plan went wrong and try to salvage some room!
Thinking of this, Morgan quickly parked his car nearby and ran towards the black Mercedes-Benz.
This top-of-the-line Mercedes had tinted windows, and you couldn't see if there was anyone inside from the outside.
Morgan carefully asked, "Mr. Blanchet? Are you in the car, Mr. Blanchet? Mr. Blanchet...."
Due to the excellent sound insulation of the car, Morgan's voice did not penetrate.
Was there no one in the car? Mr. Blanchet was not in the car? Where did he go?
Morgan looked around but didn't see Mr. Blanchet, so he tried to open the car door.
At that moment, in the car...
Theo's face was cold, leaving no room for Ellinor to back down, and Ellinor was not about to give in to this man!
She had just been bullied by this man's sister this morning, and if she didn’t show a tough attitude now, wouldn't she be considered a pushover by the Blanchet family for the next three months?
Ellinor clenched her teeth and forcefully pulled her T-shirt up...
Fortunately, she was wearing a small tank top underneath. Although it was skimpy, it wasn't too revealing!
Theo's gaze instantly became serious. She was really going to undress!
Suddenly, the car door was pulled open, and sunlight and cold air rushed in...
Before Ellinor could react, she was abruptly pulled in by Theo! Her vision went dark, and then her nose was filled with the scent of a man's perfume mixed with tobacco, her heart pounding...
Theo reacted quickly, in an instant, he grabbed his coat beside him and covered Ellinor's body, pulling her into his arms to avoid being seen by others.
After Morgan opened the car door, he saw Mr. Blanchet holding a woman in his arms. The woman's face was pressed against Mr. Blanchet's chest, wrapped in a man's clothing, and two straight legs beneath...
He opened his mouth wide, stunned, and immediately realized that he had seen something he shouldn't have, breaking out in a cold sweat,
"Ah! Sorry, Mr. Blanchet! I called for you outside just now, but there was no response, so I..."
Theo was holding the person in his arms tightly, looking up coldly and saying, "Get lost!"
Morgan quickly closed the car door, wiping the sweat off his forehead nervously, feeling uneasy.
He had interrupted Mr. Blanchet's private matter, and now he was doomed...
Ellinor was held so tightly that she could barely breathe. After struggling a bit, she managed to wriggle out from the man's coat, frowning and asking, "What are you doing?"
Theo looked down at the little girl in his arms. Under her thick eyelashes, her large eyes were full of dissatisfaction.
