Chapter 521

It’s not yet office hours and not all employees were in place, but someone was already prepping for

work at the secretary’s desk by the CEO’s office door.

Upon seeing the boss, Ellinor quickly got up, gave a small bow and said, “Good morning, Mr. Howard!”

Balfour paused in his tracks, looked at her, scrutinized her for a moment, and said quite sternly, “Ms.

Mendoza, you look in high spirits, it seems like yesterday’s problems didn’t get to you. Good on you”

Ellinor kept her smile, “You flatter me, Mr. Howard.”

Balfour looked away, like he couldn’t bear to look at her any longer, then walked into his office.

Quinton stayed behind and asked her quietly, ‘Ms. Mendoza, no troubles yesterday, right?”

Ellinor replied. “I’m good, no issues.”

“Good.” Quinton sighed, seemingly sympathizing with Ellinor’s situation.

Last night, Ms. Howard couldn’t sleep a wink after seeing Ellinor in Theo’s arms at the party, thinking

she might lose Mr. Blanchet.

Mr. Howard stayed up all night to comfort Ms. Howard and he was in a funk today.

So, Mr. Howard’s attitude towards Ellinor was quite understandable. To Ms. Howard, Ellinor was a thorn

in her side.

Mr. Howard’s affection for Ms. Howard was so great that he couldn’t stand to see her upset, hence his

coldness towards Ellinor.

For the entire morning, Balfour didn’t call Ellinor into his office or give her any tasks. He only sought

Quinton, even for coffee.

Today, Balfour seemed particularly averse to seeing her.

Ellinor understood this and didn’t take the initiative to see the boss. She straightened up the files on her

phone, and when she had nothing to do, she played a game on her computer

Suddenly, someone knocked on her desk.

Ellinor looked up to see Bartlett’s handsome face. He was grinning at her.

“Ellinor, you’re working so hard”

Seeing Bartlett reminded Ellinor of yesterday’s problems caused by the name he left on her phone,

which soured her mood.

But she was at work, so she stood up and smiled, “Mr. Rex, are you here to see Mr. Howard? Wait a

sec, I’ll let him know right away!”

But before she could dial the number, Bartlett hung up the phone, “No, I’m here to see you.”

Ellinor’s smile faded, “I’m sorry, Mr. Rex, I’m working right now and don’t have time.”

Bartlett chuckled, “You’ll have time soon.”

Having said this cryptic line, Bartlett turned around and walked straight into Balfour’s office.

Ellinor frowned, wanting to stop him, but he was already in before she could say anything.

Bartlett let himself in before she could tell Mr. Howard.

This would surely upset Balfour, and he’d give her a hard time again!

As expected, not long after Bartlett entered the office, Balfour called Ellinor in.

Knowing she screwed up, Ellinor made two cups of coffee in the hope it’d soothe Balfour’s anger.

She served the coffee to Bartlett and Balfour, took a step back, and asked respectfully, “Mr. Howard, is

there anything you need me to do?”

Balfour looked at her, took a sip of his coffee, and said slowly, “Ellinor, from now on, you’ll be the

manager of the sales department. Our collaboration with Rex Enterprises is on your shoulders. You

need to interact more with Mr. Rex and learn from his business experience”

Ellinor was stunned. What? She didn’t do anything: how did she suddenly get promoted to sales

manager?
