The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 449

Ellinor strode over, pulled out a chair at the desk, and sat down. "Mr. Howard, I suggest you think this through a little more carefully."

Balfour's brows furrowed. He was not happy about her taking a seat without his permission.

"Think about what?"

Ellinor looked at his handsome and elegant face and said in all seriousness, "While I was queueing for an interview in HR, I was observing every candidate for you, Mr. Howard.

Every single girl who's here for an interview is not here for the job. They're here because they're attracted to your good looks and want to get a leg up.

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want a secretary who's always got you in her sights, right?"

Balfour scoffed, "Thanks for the heads up. But just because I wouldn't choose them doesn't mean I'd pick you! I could totally get a male secretary and dodge the situation you just mentioned."

Ellinor saw this coming and gave a small smile, "There were indeed a few guys who came for the interview. I overheard them talking about your physique and speculating about your sexuality and stuff that has nothing to do with work.

I guess they're probably here because they're attracted to your good looks, too!

Hmm... I bet you'd rather not have a male secretary who's got the hots for you, right, Mr. Howard?"

Balfour's nerve was successfully hit, and he suddenly found it hard to swallow his coffee.

"Ms. Mendoza, you make a fair point, but how can I be sure that you're any different from them and that you don't have the hots for me?"

Ellinor looked at him with eyes clear of any distractions, even showing a hint of disdain. "Mr. Howard, you can rest easy. I'm not interested in you at all! Even if I were to get drunk and you tried to seduce me, you wouldn't succeed!"

Balfour nearly choked on his coffee. He cleared his throat and looked at her, "Why?"
