The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 1218

Chapter 1218 

Chase laughed it off. “Chill out, man. I’m fine.” 

Jacob was getting more anxious. “So, you’re calling because…” 

Chase drawled. “From the sounds of it, you’re out and about. You’re not at the office, are you?” 

Jacob explained. “Mr. Larios, it’s lunch break, so I went out for a meal…” 

Chase asked with a grin. “With your girlfriend?” 

“Yes. Mr. Larios, I’ll return to the office right after lunch, within the break time!” 

Chase chuckled. “Relax, man. I’m not rushing you back. Can you tell me which restaurant you guys are at?”

Jacob was a bit surprised, but he told Chase the name of the restaurant. 

At this point, Belinda looked back and noticed Jacob lagging behind. “Jacob, what are you doing here? Everyone’s gone in!” 

Jacob covered the phone receiver and whispered. “I’m on a call. It’s Mr. Larios.” 

After hearing it was Mr. Larios, Belinda’s face clouded over. “Why the hell is he calling you? Is that jerk trying to give you a hard time?” 

Jacob shook his head. “No, hang on, let me finish the call.” 

Afraid that his girlfriend’s voice would be heard over the phone, Jacob moved a bit further before he uncovered the receiver. “Mr. Larios, I will be back at the office soon. Is there anything else?” 

Chase heard what Belinda said, and he chuckled. “No, nothing else. Tell your girlfriend that if she calls me a jerk again, I’ll fire her boyfriend.” 

With that, he hung up. 

Jacob felt a chill run down his spine and stood there stiffly with the phone, not knowing what to do. 

Oh my God, Mr. Larios heard it! 

Mr. Larios heard Belinda calling him a jerk, so would he really fire him? 

Belinda saw Jacob still on the phone and approached him. “What happened? What’s he up to? Still not done?” 

Jacob came back to his senses and helplessly said, “Belinda, Mr. Larios heard you calling him a jerk.”
