Chase suddenly sat up. "What's up?"
Ida was about to tell him that Ellinor had hopped into Theo's car but got sidetracked by the swollen cheek he was sporting.
"What happened to your face?"
Chase touched his burning cheek and began laughing at himself. "What else? Got slapped by a woman."
Ida looked at him with a glimmer of disgust in her eyes. "Serves you right!"
Chase shrugged. "Are you gonna tell me what happened or what?"
Ida got back on track. "Boss just bumped into Theo downstairs. He got her in his car, and now we don’t know where they’re off to. I can’t reach her on the phone either."
Chase looked puzzled. "Why was Theo hanging around our office building?"
"He was probably here to pick up Belinda, ran into Boss, and got her into his car, saying that they had some stuff to hash out."
The mere mention of Belinda's name made Chase's swollen cheek throb even more. Yup, his cheek had been slapped by Belinda. She packed quite a punch, even splitting his lip. Chase had just wiped off the blood.
He hadn't done anything. He simply asked her to give him another chance, but ended up getting smacked. It hurt like hell!
"Ida, don't sweat it. Belinda’s in the car as well; Theo won’t do anything to her, especially since she’s carrying his kid."
Ida glared at him, clearly annoyed. "I know he won’t do anything to her right now, but do you think he’ll be all smiles and sunshine? She is heavily pregnant; can she handle the stress? Hurry up and get in touch with Belinda. Go find her!"
