The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 1088

Bartlett leaned in close to Ellinor, “I’ve saved up enough dough for marriage; I just haven’t found the right gal yet. I don’t even know where to start looking. Ellinor, can you help me out?”

Ellinor twisted her lips in distaste. She was ready to tell him to back off when the driver’s door opened and Collin walked in. He cleared his throat, “Ahem!”

Bartlett didn’t seem phased, he just straightened up casually.

Collin asked thoughtfully, “Mr. Rex, where are you headed?”

Bartlett answered straightforwardly, “I want to go where Ms. Mendoza is staying. You guys can just bring me along. If we live close, we can watch each other’s backs if anything comes up.”

Collin clearly wasn’t keen on the idea, “Mr. Rex, I’m sorry, but Ms. Mendoza is headed to the Howard’s Mountain Villa. It might not be convenient for you to tag along.”

Bartlett raised an eyebrow, “The Howard’s Mountain Villa? That’s even better. I can just give Balfour a call!”
