Chapter 1130

Chase continued, “We want to go check on Ellinor and see if she’s expecting. We plan to bring her

some gifts.”

Belinda looked puzzled, “If you're visiting Ellinor, I reckon you and Ms. Gipson can handle it. Just tell

them why you're there, and the Blanchet family should welcome you. There's no need for me to

come along.”

Chase frowned, “It'd be safer to have you with us. If they don't let us in, we won't have wasted our

trip with you there, right?”

Belinda felt something was off, but Chase's reasoning was sound. So, she agreed, “Alright! Do I need

to wait until I get off work?” Chase replied, “No need. If you're free now, we can leave immediately.”

"Why the rush?” Belinda blinked and checked the time on her phone, “I don't have much going on

today. Alright, let's go now.” Belinda grabbed her bag, slipped in her phone, put on her jacket, and

got ready to go to the Blanchet Villa with Chase and Ida.

On the way to the elevator, Chase noticed a coffee on the desk of a male colleague who had

previously flirted with Belinda. It was the same type Belinda had been drinking. They also exchanged

a knowing smile.

Once in the car, Belinda took the front passenger seat, while the two bosses sat in the back. The

driver started the car, and they began the journey.

Belinda leaned back, watching the scenery out the window. Suddenly, she pulled out her phone and

shot Ellinor a message. “Ellinor, Mr. Larios, Ms. Gipson, and I are coming to see you. Anything you

fancy eating? I can pick it up for you.”

After waiting for several minutes without a reply, she exited the chat and saw a message from her

colleague Jacob.

Jacob texted. “What are you doing with Mr. Larios and Ms. Gipson?”

Belinda responded. “They need my help with something.”

Jacob replied. “Wow, you're involved with the big bosses?”

Belinda texted back. “I know the place they want to visit!"

Jacob asked. “Will you have time for lunch? Can you buy lunch where you're going?”

Belinda paused. It had been a while since someone showed her this much concern. Touched, she

was about to respond when...

Chase's voice came from the backseat, “Ms. Wesley, I don't mind you chatting, but it'd be best not

to disclose our itinerary and destination.” Belinda stopped typing, instinctively hid her phone, and

looked back. Chase was lounging casually with no sign of having peeked at her phone.

“Mr. Larios, you're overthinking. I didn't reveal any specifics, just some vague info.”

Chase chuckled, “That's good then.”

Belinda had a feeling Chase was being a bit sly today but couldn't quite put her finger on it. She

quickly replied to Jacob, “I'll make sure to eat; I gotta go now!”

Jacob quickly texted back. “Be careful on the road. Call me if you need anything!”

“Will do!” Belinda exited the chat with Jacob and checked one last time, but Ellinor still hadn't

replied, so she put her phone back in her bag.

Chase watched Belinda as she was texting with his eyes slightly squinted. It looked like he was

smiling, or maybe irritated.

“Do you fancy that male colleague?” Chase asked teasingly.

Belinda was taken aback. He must have been peeking earlier; how else would he know who she was

texting?
