In the month that Ellinor left the Blanchet family, barely anyone mentioned that man's name in front of her.
Chase and Ida seemed to have reached an agreement, deliberately avoiding any mention of Theo, even when it came to business dealings between the Crescent Society and the Blanchet Corporation.
But in reality, she didn't give a damn.
A man was not enough to become her taboo.
However, when she actually heard the name Theo, she still felt a bit revolted.
“Mr. Rex, can you not talk about that guy during mealtime?”
Bartlett was taken aback, then smiled at her, “Alright, we won’t talk about other men while eating.”
Although she didn't directly answer, her attitude was clear. She didn't want to be associated with Theo anymore.
Ellinor tried a sip of the signature mango juice from this barbecue restaurant. It was so refreshing that she had another hefty gulp before asking directly, “Mr. Rex, you said you could help me find Lady Lotus at the gallery. How do you plan to do that?”
Bartlett also poured himself a glass of mango juice and took a leisurely sip, “Actually, I can’t really help you find Lady Lotus.”
The hopeful light in Ellinor's eyes suddenly dimmed.
“Are you trying to trick me?”
“If I can't help you find Lady Lotus, you don't want to have dinner with me?”
“Well, I'm here already, so I'm going to finish the barbecue! It's just that I don't appreciate you tricking me into having dinner like this!” Ellinor gave him a helpless look.
Bartlett looked at her, his eyes filled with admiration and curiosity.
She might be a bit quirky, but she was very polite and handled things properly.
