Theo spat out these words without batting an eyelid.
Ellinor quickly sidestepped him and tried to quickly make her escape.
But she had barely taken a few steps when a beefy hand clamped onto her wrist.
She froze, turning to look at the man. "Mr. Blanchet? What's your game now?"
Theo didn't stop her. He just grabbed her wrist, changed their course, and started striding off in another direction.
Ellinor was thrown for a loop. She instinctively tried to yank her wrist away, but his strength was too much; she couldn't shake him off.
She started to grouse loudly, demanding to know what the hell he was up to.
Theo completely ignored her complaints, dragging her along with an unshakeable grip.
They ended up in the parking lot in the backyard of the Bagley family's house. Theo opened the door of a black car, shoved Ellinor in, and said with a stern face, "Stay put until I get back!"
Then he slammed the car door shut with a bang.
Ellinor frowned, rubbing the red mark on her wrist where he’d held her. She watched his retreating figure through the car window, feeling really pissed off!
What the hell was Theo up to? He'd dragged her here out of the blue, stuffed her in the car, and then just left?
Why should she wait for him to come back?
Any fool would see that this was nuts!
She reached for the door handle, trying to get out, but found that the door was locked.
She tried the button on the door, but that didn’t work either; the door still wouldn't open.
Ellinor was starting to feel antsy. She turned to look at the driver's seat, hoping to find the unlock button.
