The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 148

Ellinor's eyes were half-closed. She was totally into the ongoing massage, and she nonchalantly replied, "Lately, I've been hassled by some jerk, dealing with endless headaches, and I’ve totally lost my freedom."

Behind Ida's glasses, her eyes squinted slightly, "Are you referring to that big shot from the Blanchet Corporation?"

Ellinor's eyebrows knitted up slightly in irritation, but she didn't deny it.

She didn't spill the beans to Ida about the recent events, but it didn't surprise her that Ida knew. Chase, after all, was a notorious gossip.

Chase brought some snacks for Ellinor, then crouched down elegantly to massage her legs, all smiles, "How's your married life? Are things, um, you know, smooth sailing in the bedroom?"

Ellinor was about to munch on a bag of chips, but the question made her blush. She shot him a look, "That’s none of your business!"

Chase chuckled, bowed his head, and continued the massage, no longer pressing the matter.

Ida picked up a folder from the desk and handed it over to Ellinor, "This is the recent financial report of the company. Take a look."

Ellinor browsed through the folder and seemed pleased, "Good, it's a decent bump from last quarter."

Then she gave Ida some suggestions based on the numbers in the report.

Chase was all ears, and after she finished, he stood up and said, "You're not interested in running the company, but you're acting as Sheila's assistant. What's up with that?"

"With you two in charge, I'm at ease. As for being Sheila's assistant, it's not a forever thing!" Ellinor replied earnestly, then asked, "By the way, have you found out anything about the guy I asked you to investigate?"

Chase nodded, "That Pollock guy is a famous domestic director now, an art student from a small town. He used to do behind-the-scenes work before he got famous. He met his current wife Gwyn at work, and with the financial support from her wealthy parents, he made his first film and won the best director award, which made him famous."
