Chapter 503

Bartlett seemed a bit spaced out.

Then he smiled contentedly, “No worries, Ellinor. I just rushed over after finishing work. Jonah Wyton

called me and told me that they’re hanging out at the Pavilion in Pearl Moon. I figure Balfour must’ve

been summoned as well. Wanna tag along and find your boss?”

Mr. Howard might be with Jonah and the others, and since Theo had definitely left, she wouldn’t run

into him again. Considering this, Ellinor nodded, “Sure, let’s roll!”

The Pavilion of Pearl Moon was a separate villa within the estate, a good distance from the party

venue, and quite peaceful.

Ellinor followed Bartlett into the Pavilion. Right at the entrance, she spotted three men engrossed in a

game of poker, with Balfour among them.

Bartlett chuckled, “What are you guys up to?”

“Bartlett, you’re just in time, Join us!” Jonah laid down his cards, glanced up, and saw Ellinor by

Bartlett’s side. He was taken aback for a moment, then joked in surprise, “Bartlett, your lady friend

looks familiar!”

Bartlett clarified, “Don’t get it twisted. This lady friend is my secretary Angel. Ellinor came today as

Balfour’s companion. I just ran into her looking for Balfour, so I brought her over.”

Jonah looked even more puzzled and turned to Balfour, “Balfour, is that right?”

“Yes, Ms. Mendoza is currently my secretary” Balfour replied calmly.

Ellinor had reappeared as Balfour’s secretary after leaving the Blanchet family?

Things were getting interesting!

Jonah gazed at Ellinor for a moment, then turned towards the window, making a face, Theo, an old

friend of yours is here. Aren’t you coming over for a chat?”

Ellinor was stunned when she heard Jonah say this.

Theo hadn’t left yet?

She turned her head and saw Theo lounging lazily by the window with a cigarette in his hand,

surrounded by smoke, looking like a

heartless statue.

He just hadn’t joined their poker game, but he hadn’t left Pearl Moon.

By the time Ellinor snapped back to reality, Bartlett had already led her to a seat.

As she sat on the couch watching the men play poker, she couldn’t shake off the feeling of an icy gaze

fixed on her.

It was uncomfortable, like sitting on pins and needles or having a fish bone stuck in her throat..

Plus, she was feeling a bit tired now. Pregnancy made her easily fatigued; she had an injury on her leg,

and she was simply not feeling well.

Bartlett noticed her discomfort and asked, “Ellinor, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

Ellinor shook her head, “No, I’m just a bit parched.”

Bartlett immediately got up to pour her a glass of water, “Here.”

“Thanks.” Ellinor took the glass.

Bartlett’s thoughtfulness was touching.

She took a sip of water and felt slightly better.

After Bartlett sat down again, he suddenly leaned over and whispered, “If you’re not feeling well, I can

take you home first. I remember that today should be your period. Are you feeling unwell because of

that?”

Ellinor was taken aback and surprised at Bartlett’s words.

She didn’t feel embarrassed. Having periods was a normal thing for girls. She just found it curious,

“Why would you remember my period?”

Bartlett chuckled and whispered in her ear, “Don’t you remember? The first time you came to my

gallery, it was because you were feeling unwell due to your period. And that day was four months ago

today.”
