The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 489

He was Patricia's cousin, so he guessed that made him part of the Howard clan.

Being a Howard was like having a badge of honor, and he wanted a piece of that action too.

Ellinor looked at York Mayes, noticing his connection to the Howards. He didn't seem too bright, so she figured she might be able to get some info about the Howards from him.

A sharp cookie like Balfour was always on his toes, so she wouldn't be able to get a peep out of him.

With this in mind, Ellinor gave York Mayes a friendly smile, "Hi, nice to meet you."

York Mayes was charmed by Ellinor's smile, "Nice to meet you too! What should I call you?"

Ellinor replied, "Just call me Ms. Mendoza."

"Ms. Mendoza, you can call me York!" York Mayes tentatively asked, "By the way, Ms. Mendoza, is that jacket you're wearing your boyfriend's?"

If she had a boyfriend, especially one with a high profile, he'd have to tread lightly.

Ellinor answered honestly, "Not a boyfriend! I came with my boss; he's a gentleman and was kind enough to lend me his coat."

York Mayes grinned, satisfied, "Oh, I see! My date ditched me for the dance floor! Ms. Mendoza, looks like we're both being used, huh?"

"Yeah, looks like it!"

"Ms. Mendoza, is this your first time at Pearl Moon? If you're free, I could give you a tour here."
