Byran was the only one left in the Blanchet family, standing alone in the dining room, waiting for the next move.
The maid brought a freshly baked breakfast to Ellinor, the food on the plate still steaming.
Ellinor was hungry. She picked up the fork and started to enjoy the fried eggs and bacon on the plate. While eating, she felt a pair of eyes staring at her, that look was full of insinuations, like hot silk threads twining around her, getting tighter and tighter.
She felt uncomfortable, frowned, "Theo, aren't you supposed to be at the office?"
Theo pretended to be angry, "Are you so eager for me to leave?"
Ellinor shook her head: "I didn't mean that, I just saw that you have finished breakfast but haven't gone to work yet, are you planning to waste time here?"
"I'm not in a hurry."
"Well, if you're not in a hurry, you can sit here, but please don't keep staring at me." Ellinor tugged a smile.
"I was alone in the study all night last night, and now I can't even look at you?" Theo started to pretend to be pitiful when he failed to get angry.
Ellinor snickered softly and teased, "From ancient times to the present, any king who starts to slack off, comes late and leaves early, will be said to be bewitched by a beauty, and then that innocent beauty will be crowned with the title of destroyer! Theo, you're not trying to 'no longer keep early court', are you? If so, I will be collectively scolded as a demon by the employees of the Blanchet Corporation!"
Theo laughed at her words, "Who dares to scold you?" He knew she was actually urging him to go to the company, but her words were so interesting that he had no reason to be angry.
Ellinor rolled her eyes, "They may not scold me in front of you, but they will definitely talk about me behind my back, and they certainly won't say anything nice!"
Theo pinched her face with a spoiling look: "Fine, I won't let you be blamed, I'll go to work now, and I'll settle accounts with you when I get back!"
