Chapter 449

Ellinor strode over, pulled out a chair at the desk, and sat down. “Mr. Howard, I suggest you think this

through a little more carefully”

Balfour’s brows furrowed. He was not happy about her taking a seat without his permission.

“Think about what?”

Ellinor looked at his handsome and elegant face and said in all seriousness. “While I was queueing for

an interview in HR, I was observing every candidate for you, Mr

Howard

Every single girl who’s here for an interview is not here for the job. They’re here because they’re

attracted to your good looks and want to get a leg up.

I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t want a secretary who’s always got you in her sights, right?”

Balfour scoffed. “Thanks for the heads up. But just because I wouldn’t choose them doesn’t mean I’d

pick you! I could totally get a male secretary and dodge the situation you just mentioned”

Ellinor saw this coming and gave a small smile, “There were indeed a few guys who came for the

interview. I overheard them talking about your physique and speculating about your sexuality and stuff

that has nothing to do with work.

I guess they’re probably here because they’re attracted to your good looks, too!

Hmm I bet you’d rather not have a male secretary who’s got the hots for you, right, Mr. Howard?”

Balfour’s nerve was successfully hit, and he suddenly found it hard to swallow his coffee.

“Ms. Mendoza, you make a fair point, but how can I be sure that you’re any different from them and that

you don’t have the hots for me?”

Ellinor looked at him with eyes clear of any distractions, even showing a hint of disdain. “Mr. Howard,

you can rest easy I’m not interested in you at all! Even if I were to get drunk and you tried to seduce

me, you wouldn’t succeed!”

Balfour nearly choked on his coffee. He cleared his throat and looked at her, “Why?”

Without any hesitation, Ellinor flatly stated, “Because I don’t like you.”

Balfour could do nothing but blink. This was the first time a girl had told him so directly that she didn’t

like him..

“Likewise.” Balfour gave a calm smile, “If you don’t like me, why would you apply to be my secretary?

Don’t you think this shows some inconsistency?”

Ellinor didn’t care, “Mr. Howard, I just don’t like you personally. That has nothing to do with your

company or the job you’re offering.

I’m very good at separating my personal feelings from my work. I won’t let personal likes or dislikes

affect my work attitude.

If you don’t believe me, you can give me a trial period. I can guarantee that I’ll meet all your work

requirements, and, besides that, I promise you that I’m not interested in you at all and won’t have any

inappropriate thoughts about you”

Every time he saw Ellinor, Balfour was always surprised by her unique attitude and remarks.

He didn’t dislike her. If she hadn’t bullied Patri several times, he might actually have had some

admiration for Ellinor, who was so young but brave and meticulous.

Ellinor was very pretty. She looked younger than her actual age, but her eyes revealed a maturity and

calmness that were beyond her years. Just her fearless aura alone set her apart from the rest

This girl was not a simple character!

Just then, Quinton knocked on the door from outside the office, ‘Boss, Miss Patricia and Mr. Theo are

here to see you!”

Hearing Quinton’s words, Ellinor’s face changed instantly. Her previous calm and composure vanished

in an instant, and she stood up reflexively, wanting to get out of there

ASAP

What was going on?

It’s understandable that Patricia would come to the company to find Balfour, but why was Theo at the

Howard Group too?
