The ringtone of her phone suddenly blared out, snapping Ellinor back to reality. The flirty vibe that had been lingering between them vanished in an instant!
Facing the man's gaze, she awkwardly stepped back a bit, pulled out her phone, and lowered her head to see it was Sheila who was calling her.
Before she had a chance to answer, Sheila's voice echoed from outside the bathroom, accompanied by polite knocks on the door...
"Ellinor, it's you in there, isn't it? I heard your ringtone! Hurry up and get out, stop slacking off in the bathroom!"
Ellinor frowned and looked up at the man, shrugged and said, "Theo, you heard that, right? Someone's hunting for me, I gotta go."
Theo lowered his head to look at her and didn't respond.
Ellinor said, "Could you hang back a bit before you leave? If she saw us both in the same bathroom, it would be hard to explain."
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned to leave, but the man's hand was still on her waist, and he pulled her back into his arms.
He lowered his head, leaned close to her ear, and warned harshly, "Don't you dare drink toasts with anyone else!"
Ellinor blinked, replied, "Got it."
Even if she couldn't see his expression at that moment, she could clearly feel the strong possessiveness radiating from him.
But, that was just his personal habit, not any special feelings for her. She knew this very well, yet still there was an inexplicable annoyance in her heart. Like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples, then quickly returning to tranquility.
However, the stone that fell into the water sank to the bottom of the lake, remaining there forever...
