Trent River Paradise Harbor

Chapter 264

The river view room in the center of Greenhaven was very prosperous here. Upon entering, Ellinor

collapsed on the sofa. She was exhausted and just wanted to rest. A lat white cat jumped on top of her

and rubbed against her, and Ellinor sat up lazily, taking the fat cat into her arms and petting it. This

white cat was called Milo. It was a kitten that Chase picked up when he was in the country. It was now

8 years old Although Milo looked fat now, like a pet cat who was doted on since it was a kitten, in fact, it

once ate leftovers with the three of them and lived in a dark and narrow basement it took years of

hardship for Milo to enjoy the cushy life and endless gourmet cat food it has

today?”

Ellinor, barefoot and cross–legged on the oversized fabric sofa with her cat in her lap, replied. “Mmm,

just took the day off to hang out with you guys”

Ida pushed her glasses up her nose thoughtfully, brought over the heated milk from the kitchen counter,

and set it down on the coffee table in front of Ellinor. “Mr. Blanchet let you have the day off?”

Ellinor replied in a languid tone. “Nah, Theo is probably swamped today. He didn’t have time to bug me,

so I just took the chance to sneak in a day off. He won’t find out

Truthfully, there was no special reason. She just couldn’t bear the thought of returning to the Blanchet

family today

Chase, fresh out of the shower, plopped down onto the single–seater sofa next to them and chimed in,

“Ellinor, I’m craving your chestnut cake!”

Ida shot him a disdainful look, “Have you no shame? She barely comes home and you want her to

cater to your picky palate?”

Ellinor didn’t seem to mind. She let Milo off to do its own thing and said to Chase, “I can’t be bothered

today. I’ll make it for you after I get a good night’s sleep”

Chase grinned triumphantly, shooting Ida a provocative look. “Hear that? Ellinor spoils me rotten!”

Ida scoffed, the urge to punch him surging at his attitude.

But she was not surprised

When she was not busy, Ellinor did indeed dote on Chase as if he were her own child. And when she

was busy, she didn’t hesitate to boss him around.

They were all used to this dynamic.

They had known each other since their youth, each with their own tough lot in life, supporting each

other in hard times. They fought together, started a business on the down–low and that’s how they built

the Crescent Society they have today. No longer do they have to rely on others for survival.

Ida ignored Chase, pushed her glasses, and sat down to ask Ellinor, “As for the design plan of the

Blanchet Corporation’s new office building, the Blanchet Corporation has urged me several times, but I

have shirked it. When are you going to give it to them?*

Ellinor picked up the milk from the table, took a gentle sip, and replied, “Within the next three days, I’ll

email a preliminary sketch to their boss and await their feedback. After that, we’ll discuss the specifics

of the building’s exterior directly I’ll be handling this project, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

“Okay, I understand” ida nodded, completely relieved of Ellinor’s arrangement. Chase, leaning on his

hand, grins and jokes, “Ellinor, isn’t the boss of Blanchet Corporation your hubby? Why communicate

through email? Just chat it up in bed at home, who knows, you might get some unexpected perks!”

Ellinor suddenly turned serious, glaring at Chase, “My relationship with Theo is strictly business, and

we become strangers once the cooperation ends. Stop spouting nonsense from now on!”

Chase was left speechless…

Ida too, was taken aback by Ellinor’s sudden outburst.
