A super casual 'Hello, welcome.' coming from such an imposing and noble man was a rarity.
Sheila's heart started racing; she was absolutely flabbergasted!
She was sure that Mr. Blanchet must've taken a liking to her; otherwise, why would he be this warm and polite?
This seemingly aloof man actually welcomed her; isn't that a sign of something?
She was supposed to be the one Mr. Blanchet was going to marry. She heard from a woman who visited her yesterday that Mr. Blanchet saw her on TV and he was smitten on the spot, and sent people to her house with wedding gifts!
Ellinor managed to sneak in because she somehow looked a bit like her. Though she didn't see it, maybe others did.
Ellinor almost always went makeup-free, and Mr. Blanchet probably mistook her for Sheila off-screen. It wasn't surprising considering he's a busy man who could've easily forgotten.
It was this mix-up that gave Ellinor a chance to worm her way in, and she took Sheila's place for nearly two months while taking advantage of her man.
The thought of it made Sheila grind her teeth.
No matter, it was not the time to curse Ellinor. Getting on the good side of the man before her was the priority.
Sheila thought she looked fetching as she played with her styled hair, "Mr. Blanchet, we met at Pearl Moon before, remember?"
Theo glanced at her face, "Hmm, vaguely."
Sheila gave a coquettish smile. She knew Mr. Blanchet wouldn't forget her; after all, he was once attracted to her. How could he not recall?
