Chapter 459

Even though the other party had hit the nail on the head, Theo’s expression remained unchanged.

“True, we’re not legally married, but we’ve held a wedding ceremony, which is considered a marriage.

I get that you’re concerned about Patricia, and I’ll spend the rest of my life making up for what she’s

lost because of me. But I can’t offer her a marriage or the happiness you define. I’m sorry”

At this point. Theo glanced at his wristwatch, Tve finished eating, and I have a meeting at the company

this afternoon, so I need to get going‘

He got up and decisively turned to leave.

Balfour, watching Thea’s indifferent reaction, was at his wit’s end and couldn’t hold his anger any

longer, Theol Do you even have a conscience?”

Just then, Patricia came back with a piece of cake. She saw Theo about to leave and Balfour fuming.

She was clueless about what had happened and asked blankly

“What’s going on? Theo, where are you going? I’ve just brought back a piece of cake Let’s share it!”

“No need I have other things to attend to ”

Theo passed Patricia without any expression and walked out of the door

Theo

Patricia called out to him reluctantly, but he didn’t turn back or stop.

In the end, she could only watch his retreating figure leave the restaurant despondently. Then she

turned around and glared at Balfour a bit resentfully

“What on earth did you say to Theo? Why is he leaving?”

Balfour suppressed his anger towards Theo and for Patricia’s sake, quickly regained his composure

and said gently, “Nothing much Theo has an urgent matter at his company so he had to leave early

Patri, come sit down and share this cake with me!”

How could he tell Patricia that the man she deeply loved was not willing to marry her.

Watching her loved one leave, Patricia sat down with a look of loss on her face, not even finding her

favorite cake appetizing.

Suddenly, she remembered something turned to Balfour, and asked softly. “By the way! Why was

Ellinor in your office? She was hiding behind your bookshelf. looking like she was up to no good! She

seemed keen on not being discovered, even pretending to be a cat!”

Regarding Ellinor, Balfour had no intention of hiding it from Patricia He replied while eating, “She came

to the company today to apply for the position of my secretary”

Patricia was taken aback, her eyes wide with surprise, “What? Ellinor applied to be your secretary? Did

you hire her?”

Just as Balfour was about to answer Patricia’s question, his phone rang

It was Quinton calling

Looking at the caller ID, Balfour squinted his eyes, anticipating that the client had completely rejected

cooperation and was preparing to fly back home.

The loss of such a big partnership, although not enough to plunge the company into trouble, was stiff a

bit of a bummer.

Balfour frowned, picked up the phone, and before he could even say ‘hello‘, Quinton’s anxious voice

came through

“Mr. Howard, we’ve made it! Ellinor has reached an agreement with the client. They will come to the

company tomorrow morning to sign a contract for a ten–year mineral cooperation!”
