Ellinor Mendoza tapped on the office door and then walked in, placing a freshly brewed cup of hot

coffee in front of Balfour Howard

“Mm.”

Balfour was deeply engrossed in some documents, absentmindedly taking a sip of his coffee without

looking away from his work

Haillie, sitting on the office sofa, was eagerly watching Balfour, sure that he would react angrily to the

overly sweet and milky coffee and scold Ellinor But no reaction came. Balfour simply took another sip

of his coffee, his face expressionless.

What the hell?

Haillie frowned. Her hopeful expression turned into one of disappointment. Had Balfour changed his

taste? Impossible!

Meanwhile, Ellinor stood by Balfour’s desk, stealing glances at a certain picture frame.

Balfour took another sip of his coffee and noticed his new secretary still standing there. Annoyed, he

said, “What are you still doing here? Get out!” Ellinor nodded and lowered her head “Alright, Mr.

Howard

She then walked over to the guest area with the tray, bending over to place another cup of coffee on

the table. ‘Haillie, have some coffee” She offered with a smile. “Thanks. Haillie awkwardly replied,

maintaining her politeness in front of Balfour. But her eyes were fixed on Ellinor as she whispered,

“Didn’t you add sugar and milk to Balfour’s coffee?’

“I didn’t.” Ellinor replied in a low voice

Haillie gritted her teeth “Why not? Didn’t I tell you his tastes?”

Ellinor chuckled. ‘Haillie, did you really think I would trust a suggestion from someone who clearly

doesn’t like me?”

Haillie was speechless, frustrated, but helpless. Ellinor was not easy to fool, she should have known

better. Damn it!

Ellinor then explained to Haillie, “Do you know why I brought in two cups of coffee? One cup was made

according to your suggestion, with lots of sugar and milk, and the other was black. I didn’t completely

distrust you, Haillie. In case you were actually being considerate and I misunderstood you, I could

switch the coffee so Mr. Howard wouldn’t have to drink something he doesn’t like.”

Unfortunately, Haillie was still hostile.

“So, enjoy this cup of excessively sweet and milky coffee, Hailliel

Haillie’s face was turning sour. “You…”

Ellinor stood up straight, smiled at her, and said in a louder voice. ‘Haillie, enjoy your coffee. If you

need another cup, just let me know.”

She then turned away and walked out of the room.

Haillie was fuming and clenching her fists tightly. But she couldn’t express her anger.

Hold on

Balfour suddenly called Ellinor back.

Ellinor paused, turning to face Balfour. ‘Yes, Mr. Howard?

Balfour tossed a folder onto his desk. ‘Translate this document into Arabic and email it to our

counterparts”

“Sure, Mr. Howard Ellinor promptly picked up the folder and got to work.

Haillie was left disappointed. She did not see Balfour scold Ellinor as she had hoped and instead was

subtly mocked by Ellinor, which left her feeling frustrated,
