Chapter 137

Collin was scared shitless and tried to explain with an innocent face. “Mi Blanchet, there was some

urgent business at the company this afternoon, so I couldn’t accompany Ms. Mendoza to work. I just

called the manager. He said it was Ms Mendoza who insisted on being an artist’s assistant.”

Theo frowned but didn’t say a word, his face giving away nothing

Carefully, Collin added, “Tomorrow, I’ll arrange a less strenuous job for her”

Theo remained expressionless as he said “No need to babysit her. If that’s her choice, let her do it.”

“Understood”

*Check at Bartlett’s gallery tomorrow, see if they have three Lady Lotus paintings. Buy them if they do.

She wants them.”

Collin nodded, “Got it.”

“Ms Howard’s treatment is almost over. She’ll be back home next month.”

Theo closed his eyes, massaging his brow, “Alright.”

Not getting chewed out by Theo, Collin breathed a sigh of relief. After a while, when he was sure Theo

had no other orders, Collin dared to look ahead and spotted something new!

“Mr. Blanchet, isn’t that Ellinor?”

Theo looked out the car window, and indeed it was her Ellinor was munching on skewers alone by the

roadside.

Dinner at this late hour?

Collin signaled the driver to stop He had a hunch about what might be going on, so he told Mr.

Blanchet, ‘Mr. Blanchet, that actress named Sheila is notoriously difficult Ellinor, being her assistant,

probably had a hell of a day. I bet she didn’t even have time to eat

Theo’s brow furrowed, “Go get her”

“Sure thing.” Collin nodded and got out of the car.

Collin chatted with Ellinor briefly, then returned alone. He bent over at the car window, awkwardly

reporting:

“Ellinor said she isn’t done eating yet, and told you to mind your own business…”

Theo was silent for a while, then he got out of the car.

Ellinor, taking a sip of her orange soda, saw Theo approaching and finally standing in front of her table,

looking down at her. If he wasn’t so damn good–looking, he’d look like a loan shark!

Ellinor raised her hand, shouting, “Excuse me, twenty more skewers!”

“I’m not eating” The man replied coldly.

Ellinor looked up, a dumbfounded expression on her face, then laughed, “Theo, you’re overthinking. I

ordered for myself, I’m still hungry!”

Theo was speechless

His presence was overwhelming, just standing there made the atmosphere around the food stall a bit

awkward. People eating skewers shot him surprised and admiring glances

Indeed, it did seem highly inappropriate for such a refined gentleman, dressed in designer suits from

head to toe, exuding success, to appear in front of a roadside food

stall

Ellinor’s appetite was affected. She complained, “Theo, if you’re not going to eat, go back to your car.

Or you could sit down and eat with me. Don’t just stand there like a statue, it’s killing our appetites!”

Theo’s face turned sour

Collin watched Ellinor in admiration from the side. In all the years he’d worked with Theo, he’d never

seen anyone dare to talk to him like that!
