The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 43

She wasn’t worried about Tracy and her daughter ruining her mother’s paintings.

First off, they didn’t even know that Lady Lotus, the painter, was her mom. Arnold had done a great job keeping it hush hush

Secondly, even if they knew, they wouldn’t do anything to her mother’s paintings.

Even though these two werent fans of her mom, they sure did love money And with a painting worth five million, they’d treat it like their own treasure

After stepping out of her house, Ellinor walked alone towards the nearby bus stop, preparing to take the bus back to the Blanchet family’s mansion.

While waiting for the bus, a black Mercedes–Benz slowly drove by and stopped right in front of her.

It was that old man’s cart

Oh, Lord! Why did she keep bumping into him? Was she unlucky or was it that he was always following her around? Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Collin got out of the passenger seat and courteously opened the backseat duor for her, saying “Please get in. Mr. Blanchet sent me lo pick you up*

Seeing that Theo wasn’t in the car, Ellinor immediately knew it wasn’t a mere coincidence

Frowning unhappily, she asked Collin, “How did he know I was here? Did he have someone tailing me? Is he afraid I might run away?”

Collin seriously replied, “Ms. Mendoza, you mentioned yesterday on the phone that you would be back here today. That’s why Mr. Blanchet asked me to wait for you here.”

“Oh, I forgot Realizing she had no choice, Ellinor obediently got in the car and asked, “Where are you taking me to?”

As Collin took his seat, he turned to respond, “Mr. Blanchet asked me to pick you up for dinner and then take you both home.”

Ellinor looked surprised and furrowed her brows, “What’s up with him? Has he gone mad today? He’s actually inviting me for dinner?”

Collin looked embarrassed and pulled a slight smile.

He was getting used to Ms. Mendoza’s straightforwardness and honesty, so he seriously explained, “Old Mrs. Blanchet called Mr. Blanchet today, scolding him for always leaving you alone at home, so…

“Ah, I see! I knew that weird man wouldn’t really invite me to dinner.”

Ellinor raised her eyebrow, “What are we having?”

Collin politely replied, “I’m not sure if Ms. Mendoza would like…..”

Ellinor cut him off, “I don’t! Tell the old man that I want BBQ!”

Collin was taken aback, his hand shaking on the steering wheel, “Alright… I’ll tell Mr. Blanchet right away.”

Ms. Mendoza was quite a character

Most women would be over the moon to have dinner with Mr. Blanchet, not being picky about the food.

And she actually asked Mr. Blanchet to have BBQ with her?

As far as Collin knew, Mr. Blanchet had never eaten BBQ in his life. That greasy stuff could really smoke someone out!
