Ellinor was taken aback, then understood, and wanted to laugh, âWell⦠I donât know, maybe his wife would kill me!â
Morgan huffed confidently. As long as you know! If you want me to keep this secret for you, you have to find a way to make Mr. Blanchet agree to cooperate with Nexus Industries!â
Ellinor sighed helplessly. âMorgan, itâs not that I donât want to help you, itâs that I really canât! You know Iâm just an ordinary side chick, how could I possibly influence his work decisions?â
Morgan smirked and raised an eyebrow, âWhy not! If you ladies sweet talk your men, and make them happy, theyâll give you anythingâ
A hint of disgust flashed in Ellinorâs eyes, and she laughed sarcastically. âI donât know how to sweet talk, why donât you try persuading Mr. Blanchet yourself, Morgan?â Morgan was taken aback and became angry. âEllinor, what are you playing at! I saw you in Mr. Blanchetâs car that day, all disheveled!
Itâs because youâre young and somewhat attractive that you became Mr. Blanchetâs mistress. Donât think too highly of yourself! Iâm giving you one more chance, tell me! Will you help me or not?â
Heâs asking for her help, yet heâs so arrogant!
Ellinor calmly forked a piece of dessert into her mouth, and smiled faintly, âSorry, but I really canât help you!â
âYou bitch!â Morgan was so angry he slammed the table, raising his hand to slap herâ¦.
âAt your age, youâre still hitting a girl? Arenât you ashamed?â
A manâs voice sounded, and Morganâs raised hand was held back before it could land!
Morgan looked surprised at the man who stopped him, and cursed angrily, âWho the hell are you? Get lost! Stop meddling!â
The man smiled, his eyes sharp, Tm her friend. As long as Iâm here, you canât hurt her.â
Morgan had no choice but to withdraw his hand, unable to match this man who towered over him. He pointed at Ellinor, cursing, âEllinor, youâre quite cunning! You always look so innocent, but behind the scenes, youâre so unruly! Not only are you Mr. Blanchetâs side chick, youâre also entangled with this man! Fine! You wonât help me, huh? Then just wait, Iâll make you regret this!â
With that, Morgan stormed off.
Ellinor just laughed it off, continuing to eat her dessert like nothing happened.
The man who had just helped her pulled out a chair, elegantly sat across from her, his handsome face with a warm smile, âHey, we meet again! Mind if I sit here today?â
Ellinor recognized him, it was the handsome man who had hit on her at the Twilight Bar âActually, I do mind.â
His response made the man laugh helplessly, âI just helped you, and this is how you treat me?â
Ellinor gave him a dismissive glance, âSir, do you not understand the difference between helping and meddling?â
Even if the man hadnât stepped in, Morgan wouldnât have been able to hurt her.
Not only would Morgan not be able to hurt her, but heâd also get a fork jabbed into his hand, paying in blood for the derogatory words heâd just said about women!
The manâs handsome eyes were filled with the novelty of a new discovery, âYou really are a special girl!
My name is Bartlett Rex, can we be friends?â
Ellinor raised an eyebrow, âDo you want to be friends with me, or are you trying to hook up with me?â
Bartlett was taken aback, and laughed even harder, looking at her with interest, âCan I do both?â
