Devin followed diligently, only stepping up to guide her to her meal when they walked into the dining room. "Ellinor, this is your breakfast... What?”
Before he could finish, Devin was gobsmacked!
He saw two women having a meal at the restaurant table, and what they were eating was the breakfast that the nutritionist had carefully prepared for Ellinor.
Devin frowned, "Ms. Blanchet, didn't you already have breakfast? Why did you eat Ellinor's breakfast?”
Veronica sat there, eating and talking.
"This breakfast is hers? I thought it was for my friend! My friend happened to come over, so I let her eat first!"
Veronica then passed the bacon on her plate to her friend, Patricia, who was sitting next to her, "Here, Patricia, you don't often come to our house; eat more!"
As Veronica chatted with Patricia, she rolled her eyes at Ellinor.
Patricia ate without politeness, as if showing off her treatment at Veronica's house to Ellinor.
And Ellinor just looked at them calmly with a slight smile on her lips.
Patricia took a sip of milk, then stood up somewhat embarrassed, "Oh! Was this Ellinor's breakfast? I'm sorry, we didn't know! Veronica just asked me if I had breakfast, and I happened to be a bit hungry, so I sat down with her and ate some! Ellinor, we didn't mean to eat your breakfast; you won't be mad, right?"
Ellinor slightly raised her eyebrow and smiled, "It's okay, you're the guest and you eat first."
This casual 'you're the guest' instantly froze Patricia's smile.
Was Ellinor implying that she was now the mistress of the Blanchet family?
