The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1201

Bartlett knew Theo well. The guy was as sharp as a tack and could spot problems from a mile away.

Theo chuckled darkly under his breath.

Ellinor frowned at the question. "That's my personal business. Is it really necessary to discuss it?"

Sophia leaned her cheek against her hand with a curious look on her face. "I'm just curious! What kind of man inspired such a grand and unique building like the Blanchet Building? I bet he was a real hunk, huh?"

Ellinor put down her utensils. "Ms. Sophia, do you always enjoy prying into other people's private lives? Is that a hobby of yours?"
