The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 1214

Ida had no interest in pointlessly arguing with Byran here. “Alright, scoot over and wait a bit; we have some big stuff to go over.”

Byran seemed a bit miffed and crossed his arms in front of his chest. Since the person in the office was Ellinor, he didn’t feel like an outsider. He didn’t think there was anything that he shouldn’t be privy to, so he didn’t want to leave.

Ellinor didn’t take Byran’s attitude to heart. She looked up and asked Ida. “Any news from the Blanchet Corp?”

Ida replied honestly. “They agreed to come over tomorrow afternoon for a detailed discussion about the collaboration.”

Ellinor nodded slightly, then stood up. “Alright, gotcha. No need to shoo Byran away. I’ll head out and leave you two be.”

Ida glanced at Byran, resignedly explaining. “Boss, you’re not bothering us. You don’t have to rush off. I’ll get him out of your hair in no time.”

Ellinor waved a dismissive hand. “I’m not leaving because of him. I’m just done for the day and feeling a bit pooped. I’m gonna head back and unwind; you two keep talking.”

Ida asked. “Should I have the driver take you home?”

Ellinor waved her off again. “No need; I haven’t had a chance to stroll around in a while. I’ll just walk around the neighborhood and grab a cab home.”
