Chapter 168

Eight in the evening

Moonscape Hotel

When Theo arrived, the receptionist handed him the key card for room 808 right off the bat, saying that

the lady of the room had ordered it in advance.

Once he got to room 808, Theo breezed right in with a swipe of the card.

In the luxury suite, there was no one around, only the sound of running water from the bathroom

Walking past the bathroom, Theo cast a casual glance inside. Through the frosted bathroom glass, he

could vaguely see a woman showering

Theo instinctively averted his eyes.

On the dining table, freshly cooked food was still steaming.

Was this meal prepared by Ellinor herself?

He remembered his housekeeper mentioning that Ellinor occasionally whipped up some snacks at

home.

The seemingly delicate her could cook?

Theo spotted a note on the table. It read:

“Mr. Blanchet, go ahead and start eating when you arrive. Don’t wait for me. The food won’t taste as

good when it gets cold. I got myself dirty while cooking. I’ll join you after a quick shower”

Theo wore a faint smile

It seemed that Ellinor had paid attention to the details today.

Meeting him in a hotel, what was she up to?

Theo sat down and took a bite of the food. It wasn’t bad.

Compared to his usual diet, these dishes were nothing to write home about. But knowing they were

made by Ellinor, he found them quite tasty.

Theo felt a mix of exhaustion and complexity

He had always been busy with family business, no time for romance, never showing much interest in

any woman.

He had only known this girl for a few weeks, yet she had a knack for knocking him off his rhythm.

He had initially sought her out to keep his grandfather off his back, but often found himself warmed by

the thought of her various expressions.

Wiping his mouth, Theo recalled the passionate kiss from earlier in the day, and her words, “You are a

man in my eyes.”

Maybe he should re–evaluate his relationship with this girl.

Just then, the bathroom door swung open.

Sheila came out, wrapped in a towel. Even though she knew Theo had arrived, she still feigned

surprise, shyly clutching her towel.

“Oh! Mr. Blanchet, you’re here, I had no idea! Oops, I forgot to grab my clothes before showering…”

Theo furrowed his brows. “Why are you here?”

Sheila paused, “Ah.. who else would it be if not me, the one who invited you for dinner?”

Theo was not pleased, “Where’s your assistant?”

“Oh, you’re asking about my assistant Mr Blanchet, I’m really sorry, my assistant is from the

countryside, she lacks manners and sophistication. It was my fault too, for the incident where you got

burned yesterday. I shouldn’t have hired such an incompetent person as an assistant. I sincerely

apologize and I will fire her right away!”

As she spoke, she moved towards Theo, suddenly tripped, her towel came undone, and she fell to the

floor, striking a seductive pose, pretending to sob, “Ah… Mr. Blanchet, could you come and help me?

My leg hurts from the fall…”

Theo stood up and walked towards Sheila…
