The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 163

In the moment of emergency, she slapped Theo to free herself.

Hearing the sound of them leaving, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, the phone rang again, and it was Chase calling.

Ellinor furrowed her brow and answered the call.

Chase's teasing voice came through, "Ms. Mendoza, is that you? Some guy just said you're married, I don't believe it! Quickly tell me it's not true..."

Ellinor interrupted him irritably, "Enough pretending, it's me!"

Chase paused for a moment, then immediately resumed his usual tone and laughed, "So, how is it?"

"How is what?"

"You know, any progress between you and Mr. Blanchet? Was he jealous just now?"

Ellinor understood his intentions and warned sternly, "Stop doing these silly things in the future! I've said it before, between Theo and me, it's only a three-month working relationship, nothing more!"

Though she emphasized it verbally, her mind was in turmoil!

She couldn't forget what Theo had just done to her so quickly.

In fact, this wasn't the first time they had kissed.

The first time was a light peck to make the man she was arranged to meet feel awkward.

The second time was in the private room of Twilight Bar, where she played a game with some hooligans, lost, and had to find someone familiar of the opposite sex to kiss for a minute. Theo didn't allow her to find someone else, so he kissed her himself.
