The interaction between the two seemed more than just friends, but not too intimate, yet it gave a vibe of closeness.
"Did Mr Blanchet pull her out?" Morgan was stunned, took a moment to think and then ventured, "Did you, the mistress, manage to snag the top spot?"
Ellinor looked up confidently at the man next to her, "Sir, he's saying I'm your side chick! What do you think?"
She complained like a child to a parent, being utterly adorable in the process!
Theo narrowed his eyes at her, a hint of a smile forming at the corner of his mouth. Then, Theo turned his icy gaze to Morgan, "Who's the side chick? Say that again?"
Morgan shrunk back nervously, "Uh... isn't she?"
Collin stepped forward, stating seriously, "Ms Mendoza is the lawfully wedded wife of our Mr Blanchet."
What?!
Morgan was stunned. So, all he had seen. Ellinor and Mr Blanchet cuddling in the car, eating soup together in private, were not because they were lovers? But because they were legally married!
He was wrong! All wrong! He was screwed!
Not only had he offended the real Mrs Blanchet this time, but he had also gotten Ellinor fired from Nexus Industries. Who would have thought that this girl, Ellinor, would become the lady of the Blanchet family, Mrs Blanchet!
Morgan thought his mistake would, at most get him detained for a few days, but knowing he'd offended them, he feared he might be arrested permanently!
If not for the two cops being there, Morgan might have already been on his knees begging for mercy, "Mr Blanchet, Mrs Blanchet, I'm sorry. I really didn't know the truth."
