The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 269

Patricia was eyeing her, coming on strong. "You're Ellinor, aren't you?"

Ellinor gave a slight nod. "Yeah, that's me."

Is she trying to pick a fight with me?

Patricia walked up to Ellinor and surprisingly took her hands warmly. "I'm sorry, I thought you were a guest..."

Being uncomfortable with physical contact with a stranger, Ellinor coolly withdrew her hand. She gave a light smile. "No worries; we haven't met before, so, normally, you wouldn't recognize me."

Patricia didn't seem to mind Ellinor's withdrawal and smiled innocently. "Ellinor, when I was abroad, Theo often mentioned you on the phone!"

Ellinor raised an eyebrow. "Oh really? What has Mr. Blanchet been saying about me?"

She bet it's not anything good.

Patricia looked at Ellinor with admiration. "Theo often praises you, says you're sensible, not one of those girls who only think about climbing the social ladder. He also says you know your place, have principles, and understand the boundaries between men and women. In short, he says you're great."

He sure talks a lot. They must be on the phone quite often!

But Mr. Blanchet wasn’t praising her; he kept Patricia in the loop. He was clearing his name from any other women.

Ellinor gave a small smile, "Thanks for his compliments."

Patricia sincerely said: "Ellinor, thank you for being willing to help Theo deal with his family during this time!"

Ellinor gave a helpless smile, "It's nothing, really."

"Ellinor, you're really a great person, and I feel we have a good connection. I think we could become good friends!"
