Next evening.
Most of the employees at the Howard Group had called it a day and only Ellinor was left. She went to the washroom and changed into the formal outfit Balfour had asked her to wear the day before.
After dinner last night, Ida took her to a high-end custom dress studio and helped her pick out this elegant and exquisite evening dress. It had a one-word collar design, a veil texture, and gave off a hazy purple hue. The overall design was filled with an elfin vibe.
Most importantly, the dress wasn't too long, so it didn't feel cumbersome to wear, which was right up her alley.
After changing, Ellinor went back to her desk to wait for Balfour.
Twenty minutes later, Balfour stepped out of the president's office.
Ellinor stood up and bowed to him with an extremely professional attitude, "Mr. Howard."
Balfour glanced at her. However, when he saw her in the little dress, his gaze lingered, a warm color appeared on his face, and something in his heart felt gently touched.
Ellinor felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, "Mr. Howard?"
Balfour came back to his senses and said appreciatively, "Hmm, not bad."
Ellinor was slightly taken aback, then she smiled naturally, "Mr. Howard, are you complimenting my dress or my taste in choosing it?"
"Both are good." Balfour praised her generously, "Pack up your stuff and come with me."
"Okay, Mr. Howard." Ellinor had already packed up in advance.
