Belinda snapped out of her thoughts, âHuh? Ellinor, what's up?â
Ellinor

Ellinor shook her head, âI'll explain to Theo. There's no need to do everything he says. He only thinks

Belinda didnât seem troubled, âEllinor, my work isn't being affected; I've taken
leave. Mr. Larios approved it and has already arranged for someone else to cover my work.â
Upon hearing this, Ellinor glanced at Chase. Chase had just said he had no idea Belinda
was here, yet he approved
her leave. How could he possibly not know the reason for her leave? He was talking out of his ass!
Ellinor sighed.
Belinda being here and watching Chase's performance was undoubtedly a slap in her face...
âI've already arranged Belinda's work since she wants to take care of you here. Don't reject her kindn
If his girlfriend weren't present, Ellinor would want to slap Chase!

Chase laughed somewhat helplessly, âYes, I know it's convenient to
book online, but my phone is out of battery. I think it's not quite right for a man to let his girlfriend I

Belinda was at a loss for words.
Veronica rolled her eyes in exasperation, âThen you two go ârestâ in the car! You even need someone
to book a hotel for you. Your girlfriend doesn't seem so shy! What good girl goes to a hotel with her
boyfriend in the middle of the day? What a fake innocent!â
