Veronica looked like she was about to hurl; she just couldn't stand girls who loved to play it up.
Belinda took a deep breath and put on a smile, "Alright, Mr. Larios. In that case, may I book a nearby hotel for you?"
Chase responded with a smile, "Sure, that'd be great."
"No problem; it's what I'm here for."
With that, Belinda went out to make the reservation. She didn't want to download an app to make the booking, and she also wanted to get a bit of fresh air to keep her cool.
After Belinda left, Ellinor picked up the fruit knife that Ida had just used to peel an apple and hurled it towards Chase.
Chase didn't dodge; the knife whizzed past his ear and got stuck in the wall next to him.
The girl in his arms jumped from the shock.
Veronica was also taken aback, and her eyes widened in surprise. Ellinor could throw knives?
Chase gave a chuckle, comforting the startled girl in his arms, "Boss, you're not being very nice to me, are you? Wouldn't you feel bad if I were really hurt?"
Ellinor massaged her temples, saying impatiently, "Just get out of here! Stop bothering me!"
