The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 505

Jonah obviously wasn’t pleased, “Huh, you’re just a secretary, yet you’re so full of yourself, interesting! When your boss comes back, I’ll ask him to hand you over to me. You’ll be my secretary tomorrow, and I’ll teach you a thing or two! Do you think Balfour will agree?”

Ellinor was speechless.

Well, that was hard to say.

The main reason Balfour kept her was because she successfully negotiated a major collaboration between the Howard Group and Arab clients. Now that the contract had been signed, they could easily replace her for the follow–up work.

Furthermore, Balfour had clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with her. He could really give her away as a gift to a friend.

Absolutely not! She had to stay with the Howard Group to conveniently investigate the real reason her mother was kicked out of the Howard family years ago.

Jonah’s provocation did put some pressure on Ellinor.

After some thought, Ellinor asked, “Mr. Wyton, what do you want to bet?”

Jonah’s wicked face broke into a triumphant smile. He said very sarcastically, “I know it’s not easy to land a new job. You might be tight on cash. Let’s bet on a striptease then! Whoever loses will do a little dance here. Sound good?”
