Chapter 885: Chapter 885

“Theo, you’re off work so early today?” Ellinor asked casually, without the usual formalities one would use with strangers, “I finished my meeting and had nothing else to do, so I came to get you.” Theo reached over to tuck a stray hair behind her ear and huffed, “You’ve been eating spicy food behind my back again, haven’t you?”

Ellinor pouted, “I just can’t resist!”

Moran watched this exchange with a sinking heart. He had no idea that Ellinor, the woman he had been crushing on, was already married.

He had thought that if he could just better himself and wait until after graduation, he could pour his heart out to her.

But now, she was someone else’s wile.

As Moran sat back down, he laughed awkwardly, “Ellinor, when did you get married?”

Ellinor thought for a moment, “Just before graduation.”

Strictly speaking, she and Theo were not really married then. They were just business partners.

But they were a real couple now, so they might as well count from then.

“I see…” Moran’s heart sank. He didn’t chatter on about the funny story he was just telling.

He wanted to leave, but saying it out loud felt awkward.

So he quietly ate for a while before getting up, “Thanks for having me. I’ll treat you and some other classmates next time. I need to continue handing out flyers.”

Ellinor nodded, then turned to Veronica, “Veronica, you’ve had enough to eat, right? Why don’t you go help Moran with the flyers?” Veronica was taken aback. She looked at Ellinor, then at Moran, who was about to leave, and her face turned bright red. Normally, she would scoff at the idea of handing out flyers. But if it was with Moran, she was more than happy to help.

Moran shook his head, “No need to trouble yourself; I don’t have many left anyway.”

Ellinor grinned, “No problem! She’s been trying to lose weight recently; a walk with you will help her digest the food she just ate.” Veronica looked at Ellinor in confusion, but once she understood what Ellinor meant, she quickly agreed, “Uh… yeah! Moran, I’ve been wanting to lose weight…”

Moran didn’t doubt what Ellinor said; he didn’t think much of it and just looked at Veronica, “You’re not fat; why do you need to lose weight? Having the boy you liked tell you that you didn’t need to lose weight was enough to make any girl’s heart flutter.

Veronica blushed as her heart began beating faster than ever.

Moran figured this was probably Ellinor’s way of trying to get him to help her get rid of Veronica.

He was more than happy to help, but it did leave a bitter taste in his mouth.

Veronica happily followed Moran out, forgetting to even grab the bag she just bought.

Ellinor smiled to herself as she watched the two of them leave.

“You’re making moves on young students when I’m not around?”

Theo’s deep voice was tinged with a hint of disapproval.
