The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 165

Ellinor, phone in hand, said, "Mr. Blanchet probably hasn't left yet. I'm calling his secretary now to see if we can get him to come back."

Sheila froze, suddenly on edge. "What? How'd you get Mr. Blanchet's secretary's number?"

Ellinor casually replied, "Oh, I happened to run into Mr. Blanchet's secretary when I came out of the restroom earlier and we chatted a bit. I got his number then."

"Why'd you need his secretary's number? Are you trying to catch his eye again?" Sheila retorted sarcastically.

Ellinor shook her head earnestly, "I'm not trying to attract anyone... I'm your assistant now, getting paid by you, so I need to do my job. I need to know more people and resources, hence why I took the secretary's number. It might be helpful for your work in the future! My dad reminded me this morning to do a good job helping you!"

Sheila eyed Ellinor skeptically, scoffing, "Then give that secretary a call now. I'd like to see if you can persuade Mr. Blanchet to come back!"

"I'll do my best..." Ellinor lowered her head and turned away to make the call...

Soon, the call connected. Collin, the secretary, answered respectfully, "Ms. Mendoza, what can I do for you?"

Ellinor politely requested, "Could you tell Mr. Blanchet that I was in the wrong earlier and I hope he could return for the meal?"

Collin was taken aback by Ellinor's sudden politeness, then replied, "I'm sorry, Ms. Mendoza. Mr. Blanchet is off to a meeting, he may not be able to return."

Ellinor sighed regretfully, "I see..."

Sheila was next to Ellinor, listening carefully, but unfortunately, she couldn't hear the voice on the other end of the phone.

Ellinor thought for a moment, then asked, "Is he available tonight? I'd like to cook him a meal as an apology, I hope he could give me a chance, is it possible?"
