The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 736

Ellinor looked at Balfour coolly but politely, "Mr. Howard, remember I worked for the Howard Group for a hot minute and then you sacked me?"

Balfour squirmed at the reminder; his face cringed with a hint of embarrassment. He stammered, "You can come back to the Howard Group anytime and take any position you want."

Ellinor smirked, "Mr. Howard, you've got it wrong. I was hoping to get paid for those few days! I'm not a fan of working for free."

Balfour blinked, then looked at her.

It was not about the money; Ellinor was clearly hinting that she wanted to cut ties with him. She didn't want anything to do with him anymore.

Ellinor arched her eyebrows, "What? Mr. Howard, you’re not willing to pay me?"

Balfour snapped back to reality, "No, that's not it. I can pay whatever you want."

He pulled out his wallet from his suit jacket, scribbling down an amount on his checkbook.

After seeing his move, Ellinor snorted, "Mr. Howard, are you going to handle this with a check again?"

Balfour paused, recalling his past dealings with Ellinor via check and feeling a pang of shame.

He hesitated, then put away his checkbook, "You don't like checks; how about a transfer?"

Ellinor replied, "I want cash. I only worked for the Howard Group for a few days; the pay isn't much, and you don't need to write a check or do a transfer."

Balfour was quiet for a moment, "I don't carry much cash on me; I'll have Quinton deliver it to you later."
