Ellinor's words made Patricia's brow furrow, and she was struggling to keep up her seemingly "innocent" smile!
She couldn't get any answers from Balfour, so she tried to dig up some info from Ellinor, and it seemed like Ellinor was hinting that her status at Balfour's was no more.
Patricia didn't want Ellinor to see her discomfort from the sarcasm, so she answered in a forced, calm manner, "Hmm, you make a good point, Ellinor. I guess I'll have to ask my brother."
After saying this with a smile, Patricia turned her head to look out the car window with a cunning expression on her face, and she even touched her teeth.
"Ellinor, we're at the company. I'm going to bring lunch to my brother now. Do you want to come with me?"
Ellinor lazily leaned back in her seat, seemingly taking a little snooze, showing no interest in this. "No need, I'll just wait for you here. But you better hurry. I don't have much patience today."
Patricia didn't insist on inviting her anymore, and she just politely said, "All right, then you wait here, Ellinor. Don't go anywhere, okay? I have some stuff about Theo to tell you later!"
Ellinor replied indifferently, not showing any interest.
Patricia gave her a silent glance, then took the packed food and walked into the Howard Group.
...
In the Howard Group.
At the entrance to the CEO's office.
