The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 973

After watching their boss get into the car, Chase and Ida turned around to look at Ellinor, who was yawning.

Chase seemed a bit peeved, asking, "Boss, why are you the only one here? Didn't the Blanchet family send anyone to help you? Where's Mr. Blanchet?"

Ida pitched in her own question too, "What's the deal with the Blanchet family? Are they worried you'll flunk the test and are in a hurry to cut ties with you?"

Ellinor, looking a bit tired, shook her head, "It's not that complicated. Mr. Blanchet dropped me off. I didn't think the situation was that serious, so I had him head to the office."

Chase frowned, "You told him to go, and he just went? Does he really love you? He left you alone with those vicious media people. Isn't he worried you'll get picked on?"

Ellinor raised an eyebrow lightly, "You think I'd get bullied?"

Chase shrugged, "I know you won't be bullied; you're a real scholar! But does Mr. Blanchet know you?"

Ellinor responded, "Him staying wouldn't help; it would just attract more media attention. And right now, I don't want the media to link me too closely with the Blanchet family. I don't want any of my movements to impact the Blanchet family's stock prices, so I can't give the media too clear a picture of my relationship with them."

Chase mulled this over and admitted it made sense, "Okay, I just thought it's tough that when the chips are down, your boyfriend isn't there for you to lean on, and you're shouldering everything like before."

Ellinor shot him a glance, "Mind your own business! How's that thing I asked you to deal with last time?"

Chase grinned, playing dumb, "Boss, you're always assigning me tasks; I have no idea which one you're referring to!"

Ellinor gave him a stern look, "Stop playing dumb! Is Belinda Wesley still working at the company?"

Chase spread his hands, "She is!"
