The man slowly lifted his eyes, looking towards the girl standing next to the old man
The girl was calm, standing quietly to the side, a stark contrast to the panic–stricken onlookers.
Even the man’s striking good looks didn’t seem to faze her
Truth be told, Ellinor had wanted to leave as soon as she saw the blind old man’s family rushing over. But she was surrounded by a group of men in black and couldn’t get
away
The gentleman gave Ellinor a courteous nod, “Hello” Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Ellinor returned the nod, “Hello”
She was an average gal, so naturally, she thought the man in front of her was hot.
But something about him wasn’t quite right. He seemed friendly but not the type you’d want to get too close to.
He was completely different from Theo, who was not friendly at all. The man was gentle but aloof, a confusing mix that left her puzzled.
“Thank you,” the man said.
“You’re welcome.” Ellinor responded
Both Ellinor and the man kept their distance, not wanting to complicate things.
The old man was peeved his grandson wasn’t chatting up the girl. So, he took matters into his own hands, cheerfully asking:
“Little girl, what’s your name? Got a boyfriend? What do you think of my grandson here? He’s in his thirties and still hasn’t,
“Grandpa!” The man pinched the bridge of his nose, revealing a helpless smile to Ellinor, “I’m sorry, my grandpa is a bit loopy. Hope you don’t mind.”
“No worries.” Ellinor shrugged it off. But she wasn’t about to reveal her name, so she told the old man, “Since your family’s here to pick you up, I’ll get going. I have things to do”
After a polite goodbye, she turned and left. She asked the men in black to make way and confidently walked away
Hearing the girl’s footsteps fade, the blind old man felt a pang of regret and asked his grandson, “So, is the girl pretty?”
The man raised an eyebrow at the girl’s retreating figure, “Very pretty”
The blind old man grumbled, “She’s pretty and you didn’t even get her number? 1 even did the talking for you!”
“Grandpa, you don’t need to worry about my personal life.”
“You don’t want me to worry? Then get married! When I was thirty, your dad could do all the chores! Look at you…”
‘Grandpa, you’re tired. I’ll have someone take you home.”
“I’m not tired! Who said I was tired?”
“Take my grandpa home”
“Yes, Mr. Howard!”
Not long after Ellinor left, the man in black who had been leading the group caught up with her.
“Miss, you saved our old Mr. Howard just now Our young master wants to thank you with this check. You can decide the amount.”
Ellinor glanced at the check. “A check with a limit of 5 million, and you say I can fill in any amount?”
The man in black was stunned She thought it wasn’t enough?
When the man in black came back to his senses, Ellinor had already walked down the steps and got into Chase’s pink sports car.
