The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 1006

Elinor steadied Hallie once again, eyeing her struggle to leave. She quirked a brow and said, “Haillie, you look all over the place. How about I have the Blanchet family’s driver give you a lift?”

Ellinor wasn’t really bothered about this woman who once did her wrong. But she figured if Haillie toddled off on her own and something happened to her, the Blanchet family would be in the hot seat.

The Blanchet Corporation’s stock market was still on the mend, and the last thing they needed was another PR nightmare.

However, Haille swatted Ellinor’s offer away, shaking her head, “No need, I can manage on my own. Butt out!”

She didn’t dare to ride in a Blanchet family car because Theo was probably still hunting her down. If a Blanchet family driver unintentionally spilled the beans to Theo about her whereabouts and got her delivered directly to the Blanchet Corporation, then she’d be done for.

Haillie was resolute about leaving on her own. She wobbled to the door, opened it, then paused, turning back to Ellinor with a pleading tone, “Ellinor, if it’s all right with you could you see me to the elevator? If I run into Putnam and Marissa on the way down, I wouldn’t know what to say…”

Elinor mulled it over, then nodded and followed her out.
