Ellinor was about to respond to Bartlett's honesty, she appreciated it...
But Bartlett cut her off with a chuckle, "Hold on, no need for an answer. If I push you too hard and keep bothering you, wouldn't that make me seem annoying?"
Judging by this girl's previous reactions, she wouldn't say yes easily.
Ellinor was a bit taken aback, realizing that this guy was pretty sharp.
"Ellinor?" Bartlett tried to say her name.
"Hmm?" Ellinor, who was busy tasting her dessert, looked up at him.
Bartlett smiled, "No biggie. I just heard someone call you that. So I wanted to make sure it's your name. It's cute, you're cute too, but it seems like your personality doesn't quite match your cute looks, huh?"
Ellinor's expression changed, she gave him a cold glance.
Seeing her like this, Bartlett couldn't help but find it adorable and burst out laughing, "Oh, by the way, there's an art exhibit today, are you available? Do you want to go with me?"
Ellinor shook her head nonchalantly, "No thanks."
Facing rejection, Bartlett felt a bit down, he added: "Are you sure? I heard they've got lots of original world-famous paintings, a rare opportunity, you know!"
Ellinor shook her head again, "Thanks for the offer, but I need to head home."
Marissa Blanchet had made her soup, she couldn't keep her waiting!
Bartlett checked his watch, it was not even four yet, "why so early?"
