The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 12

Chapter 12

Ellinor had swapped her top for a guy’s T-shirt. Feeling a bit cold due to the open car window, she decided to also wear the suit jacket that the man just draped over her.

“I heard that you lost your job?”

While aimlessly staring out of the car window, Ellinor heard Theo’s deep voice.

Ellinor smirked, “Yes, all thanks to you!”

Theo nonchalantly flipped through the files in his hand. “I gave you guys a chance, but you messed up. By my standards, that plan was not worth investing in.”

Feeling a bit sleepy, Ellinor yawned.

“Oh! I’m no longer a Nexus Industries employee, you don’t need to justify anything to me.”

Theo flipped another page, casually saying, “If you’re looking for an internship in a company….”

“Mister, could you stop up ahead?”

Ellinor cut him off, looking out of the window as if she spotted something. The moment the driver stopped the car, Ellinor hopped out. She ran to the bus stop up ahead and jumped onto the bus that just pulled in.

She found a window seat, stuck her hand out of the window, gave the Mercedes behind her a thumbs–up, and then slowly rotated it 180 degrees downward in a dismissive gesture.

The bus slowly drove away, and only then did she pull her hand back in.

Watching this, Collin’s temples were throbbing. This Ms. Mendoza was incredibly bold, no one in Greenhaven would dare disrespect Mr. Blanchet like that.

“Mr. Blanchet, your suit jacket was taken by Ms. Mendoza. You have a project completion ribbon–cutting ceremony this afternoon…”

“Just have someone deliver a new one.”

Theo frowned, his face stern, as he continued to scan through his documents.

“Understood!”
