Chapter 1201
Bartlett knew Theo well. The guy was as sharp as a tack and could spot problems from a mile away.
Without wasting a second, he was on his feet, grabbing his coat, and striding out of the office. He needed to pick up Ellinor himself to be at ease.
Ellinor replied to Bartlett’s message and put her phone down to continue eating.
“Never force yourself to eat something you don’t like.” Theo seemed to be hinting at something.
Ellinor froze mid-bite as she looked up at Theo. He was watching her with that intense gaze again.
“I don’t dislike any food! I chose all of this myself, so why wouldn’t I like it?” Ellinor replied, a smile playing on her scarred face.
Theo chuckled darkly under his breath.
Sophia changed the subject. “Moon, you mentioned that your inspiration for the Blanchet Building was love. But it seems like it didn’t end well. Can I ask why you and your lover broke up?”
Ellinor frowned at the question. “That’s my personal business. Is it really necessary to discuss it?”
Sophia leaned her cheek against her hand with a curious look on her face. “I’m just curious! What kind of man inspired such a grand and unique building like the Blanchet Building? I bet he was a real hunk, huh?”
Ellinor didn’t deny it. “Yes, he was good-looking. But looks aren’t everything.”
Sophia blinked. “Sounds like you’re holding a grudge against your ex. Did he betray you? Broke your heart?”
Ellinor put down her utensils. “Ms. Sophia, do you always enjoy prying into other people’s private lives? Is that a hobby of yours?”
Sophia shook her head. “Of course not! I’m just curious about you. I want to know why the man who inspired so much in you ended up splitting up with you.”
Ellinor gave her a cold smile. “We broke up. What’s so strange about that? Ms. Sophia, you can’t be that naive, right? Can’t you understand something as simple as that there is no such thing as eternal love.”
Sophia agreed solemnly. “You’re right. There’s no such thing as eternal love. When you love someone, it’s real. When you don’t, it’s also real. Someone always falls out of love first.”
Ellinor grabbed her lemon water and finished her meal. She was done and couldn’t eat another bite.
As soon as the car Bartlett had sent arrived, she was out of there.
Sophia’s eyes sparkled with curiosity as she watched her go. “So who fell out of love first? You or your ex?”
Ellinor looked at her seriously. “Does it matter?”
Sophia smiled. “I’m just curious! Can you tell me? Since you guys have broken up, can you talk about what was wrong with your ex?”
“There’s nothing to talk about.”
“Oh, so you’re so disgusted with him that you don’t even want to mention him?”
Ellinor replied with a poker face. “Sure, you could say that.”
Sophia was usually good at reading the room, but she didn’t stop now. She continued, “So he must have betrayed you; that’s why you’re so disgusted with him, right?” Ellinor looked irritated. “Ms. Sophia, has anyone ever told you that being too curious isn’t always a good thing?”
Sophia shrugged. “No worries! I’m always curious. If I don’t get answers, it keeps me up at night. Can you tell me?”
