Following Belinda’s direction, Ellinor looked up to see the tall, cool silhouette of Theo

passing by the glass walkway on the second floor. He was acompanied by a tall, beautiful woman with Ellinor pulled her gaze back, expressionless, her tone nonchalant, “Just ignore him.”

Theo wouldn't d She decided not to interfere in Theo's affairs. They were only husband and wife in name, so it was norm Ellinor leaned lazily on the bar seat, observing

the colors and people in the bar. She was feeling a bit tired. If it wasn't for Belinda, she'd be home sleep Just then, Chase and his crew briskly walked over. He said, “Ellinor, you could've given me a heads up! I Chase was the owner of this bar, which was part of Crescent Society's entertainment business.

Ellinor glanced at him, “I'm only here to pick someone up. I'm not planning to stay and will be leaving : Chase curiously sat next to her, “Ellinor, who are you here to pick up?”

“My niece.” Ellinor said.

“Since when did you have a niece? Why didn't I know?” Chase asked.

Chase grinned, “My guess is he likes you and is trying to win you over!”

Ellinor rolled her eyes, “Can you be serious? Shouldn't you be networking? Get going!”

Chase shrugged and got up, not daring to bother her anymore.

Before leaving, he asked the waiter to bring some fruit plates, snacks, and a cup of juice to Ellinor’s boo After Chase left, the lights in the bar were making Ellinor dizzy. She closed her eyes to rest, waiting for “Excuse me, may I sit here?”
