The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 1128

Chapter 1128 

Belinda was sipping her coffee when she nearly choked. “What did you say? Your girlfriend is our general manager, Ms. Gipson?” 

Byran nodded, “Yep, that’s right!” 

Belinda was utterly shocked. To her, these two were like oil and water; how could they possibly be together? 

“So you’re saying… you’re going to be my boss’s husband?” Belinda muttered. 

Byran said, “I’m going to marry her into the Howard family!” 

Belinda took a sip of her coffee, “But man, you scored big time by snagging Ms. Gipson. She’s notorious for being a workaholic, never giving any man the time of day.” 

Byran’s eyes lit up. “Really? She doesn’t pay attention to men?” 

Belinda nodded, “Yep! Plenty of handsome partners have tried to woo Ms. Gipson. They showered her with gifts, but she turned a blind eye, either returning them or tossing them away. Many of us thought she wasn’t into men.” 

Byran was pleased to hear this. He had been a bit worried because he was wondering if she was this friendly with other men. Hearing what Belinda said made him suddenly feel relaxed. 

Ida wasn’t as open as she appeared. 

Just then, the elevator dinged, and the doors slid open. 

Quinton, flanked by two burly bodyguards, stepped out, headed straight for Byran, and grabbed him. 

Byran jumped, “Who? What? Quinton, what are you doing here?” 

Quinton responded, “Mr. Howard, your brother sent me to fetch you.” 

Byran asked anxiously, “My brother sent you? How did he know I was here?” 

“It was me who told him.” Ida emerged from her office, her face expressionless. 

Byran was stunned and then asked, “You called my brother?” 

Ida adjusted her glasses, “I didn’t want to, but you wouldn’t listen. You wouldn’t go home, so I had to call your family to pick you up.” 

Byran looked hurt, “How could you do this to me? I just wanted to have lunch with you, and you called my brother?! You know he scares the hell out of me! How could you?” 

Ida felt a pang of guilt after seeing his hurt expression. 

Quinton held Byran back, “Mr. Howard, let’s go home.”
