Balfour said coolly, “Tomorrow night, you'll be my plus one at a function, so dress sharp.”

Ellinor froze

Just a moment ago in the hospital room, Balfour had told Patricia and Haillie that she would be his date for the following day, which was probably for Aunt Bluna’s birthday bash mentioned by Patricia.

She had played along then, just to help him out, but she didn't expect Balfour to actually take her to the party

Inside the car, Ida Gipson was typing away on her laptop. Hearing the door open, she looked up and a warm, respectful smile appeared on her usually cold face, “You finally knocked off?”

Ellinor was exhausted. She leaned back in her seat and lazily rested her head on Ida's shoulder. Chase Larios, who was in the passenger seat, glanced at his watch and asked, “Is the Howard Group always this busy? You're just knocking off now?"

Ellinor, resting her head on Ida's shoulder, replied, “No, the Howard Group knocks off at five. It's just that Balfour, that workaholic, was pulling overtime, and as his secretary, I couldn't just leave him high and dry”

Ida patted Ellinor's shoulder, “Ellinor, my heart aches to see you working like this at the Howard Group.”

Ellinor smiled, “It's just for a while; it's no biggie. If I couldn't handle this much, I wouldn't have survived till today”

Ida sighed, “But you're pregnant now, you can't overwork yourselft*

Ellinor patted her belly and said, “My kid will be as tough as me and won't be afraid of hardships. Oh, and Ida, can you lend me a party dress for tomorrow?”
