Chapter 524

Patricia came over with a joyful expression, holding her child, “Ellinor, what a coincidence, you’re

shopping here too!”

Ellinor responded with a neutral face, “Yeah, sorta.”

Patricia tumed her gaze to Bartlett, who was standing next to Ellinor, with a subtle look in her eyes. She

laughed, “Bartlett, how come you’re shopping with Ellinor?”

Bartlett put on his usual smile, “Because Ellinor got promoted to Sales Manager of the Howard Group

today. My brother handed over all sales cooperation between the Howard Group and Rex Enterprises

to Ellinor. So, I brought her to this distributor to get a feel of the market.”

Ellinor had been worried that Bartlett would intentionally be vague but was relieved to hear him give

Patricia a straight answer

Patricia blinked in surprise, “Ellinor, you got promoted! Congrats!”

Ellinor knew Patricia wasn’t genuinely congratulating her, so she just smiled slightly. Thanks.”

Patricia went on enthusiastically. “Theo and I just popped into a baby store, but unfortunately, we

couldn’t find the product our child needs. We’re about to grab lunch now! Bartlett, Ellinor, if you guys

haven’t had lunch yet, why don’t we all go together?”

With that, she looked at the man beside her, showing a pure smile, “What do you say. Theo?”

Theo, with his handsome and deep face, responded indifferently, “Whatever you want.”

Patricia, looking like she was being spoiled by her man, turned her warm gaze back to Ellinor and

Bartlett, “Bartlett, Ellinor, let’s go! We’ll all have lunch together. It’s Theo’s treat!”

Bartlett seemed quite willing to join them for lunch, but he couldn’t just agree without consulting Ellinor.

He turned to her respectfully, “Ellinor, what do you think?”

Ellinor clearly wasn’t interested, nor did she want to have lunch with Patricia. She said, “Mr. Rex, thank

you for taking the time to show me the market. As you’ve bumped into your friend here, you should

have lunch and catch up. I’ll pass; I have work to handle back at the company. I’ll take off first”

After saying this, Ellinor turned to leave.

As Bartlett was about to leave with her, Patricia came running after them with her child, blocking

Ellinor’s way.

“Ms. Mendoza, you haven’t had lunch yet, right? You can’t skip meals. It’s not too late to go back to

work after lunch. Don’t worry, I’ll tell my brother you’ll be late because you were having lunch with me.

He won’t blame you.”.

“Thank you for your kindness, Ms. Howard. I’ll grab something back at the company cafeteria.”

Patricia looked a bit disappointed upon seeing Ellinor still insisting on leaving, “Ms. Mendoza, why do I

get the feeling you don’t want to have lunch with me? Is it because of our misunderstanding before?

Are you still mad at me?”

Ellinor looked at Patricia and replied, “Ms. Howard, you’re overthinking things. I just planned on having

something light back at the company. I don’t want to influence everyone else’s meal with my personal

preference.”

Hearing this, Patricia immediately laughed, “Oh, that’s it! No problem, my child also likes light meals.

You can order whatever you like. Let’s go!”

Ellinor looked at Patricia with a faint smile tugging at her lips.

Patricia was so insistent on taking her along, merely to flaunt her blissful life in front of her.

Who else would she be showing off to if not her?

It seemed that without accepting her invitation, Patricia wouldn’t easily let her go.

Ellinor didn’t want to argue anymore, “Alright, since you insist, Ms. Howard. I’ll accept your invitation.”

Patricia immediately showed a happy expression, “Ms. Mendoza, I knew you were the best and would

be generous!*
