When Ellinor straightened up, it put a stop to Sheila's antics. She was afraid that Ellinor might again use it as an excuse to get close to Mr. Blanchet.
Sheila picked a restaurant called Charm Tower, located in the heart of the city, which was just a short drive away.
They entered the restaurant and had just sat down under the guidance of the staff.
Sheila said, "Mr. Blanchet, you order first. I'll be right back from the restroom."
Theo nodded nonchalantly, his gaze not lingering on her for a second.
Sheila turned to Ellinor and said, "Ellinor, come with me!"
She called Ellinor for no reason; she was actually afraid that Ellinor would take the opportunity to get close to Mr. Blanchet when she left!
Ellinor shrugged and stood up to go with her.
...
In the restroom.
Sheila was touching up her makeup in front of the mirror. She glared at Ellinor from the mirror and mocked her.
"Don't you ever think that just because Mr. Larios of Crescent Society has a crush on you, Mr. Blanchet will feel the same way about a country girl like you!"
Ellinor replied nonchalantly, "I never thought that!"
Sheila turned her head and warned her seriously, "You better not have!"
Ellinor was a bit puzzled; she asked, "Sheila, what do you mean?"
