The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 1140

Chapter 1140 

Chase didn’t agree, nor did he continue the conversation. He just muttered, “This Jacob is slacking off at work. I need to have a word with his manager and give him a good grilling” 

Upon hearing this, Belinda, afraid that she might get her colleague in trouble, quickly defended him. “He called me during his lunch break. It’s not like he’s not working 

Chase feigned seriousness, “Didn’t he text you before lunch break too?” 

Belinda explained, “That… That’s because he asked me a few questions during his downtime, it’s not like we were chatting all the time.” 

Chase narrowed his eyes, locking deep and mysterious. “You’re defending him like that? So are you going to go watch the movie with him?” 

Belinda seemed a bit nervous, and her reply lacked enthusiasm, ‘I’ll think about it. I’m not really into horror movies, What if I get scared and scream? It wouldn’t be appropriate in front of colleagues!” 

A smirk appeared on Chase’s face, “Then come with me. I’m quite interested in seeing you scream in fright.” 

Belinda was taken aback, wondering if she heard him correctly, “Mr. Larios, are you asking me out to a movie?” 

Chase nodded affirmatively, “Yes, come with me. If you get scared, you can hide in my arms. I don’t mind if you take advantage of me.” 

Belinda’s mouth twitched, “Mr. Larios, that’s not funny at all.” 

She was somewhat repulsed by Chase’s playful flirtation. She had always found him attractive, and any casual remark from him would send her thoughts spiraling 

out of control. 

This had to stop! Belinda took Baber from Chase’s arms, “Mr. Lanos, thanks for holding Baber for me. I’m hungry, let’s go see if lunch is ready.” 

With that, she turned and walked towards the Blanchet Villa’s dining room, with Baberin arms. 

Chase followed, whispering. “Seriously though, do you want to go to the movies with me?” 

“No!” Belinda’s heart raced She couldn’t handle Chase playing with her emotions like this. She quickened her pace and entered the house with Baber 

Perfect timing, Marissa had just finished preparing lunch. 

She greeted them with a warm smile, “Belinda, perfect timing. We were about to call you for lunch. Come, have a seat! Let’s see if you like our food.” 

Belinda politely responded and took a seat next to Ellinor with Baber. 

Upon seeing Ellinor, Baber reached out for her. 

Ellinor naturally took Baber from Belinda. Even though they weren’t related by blood, she knew Baber had grown attached to her, and she didn’t mind.
