The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 123

Byran casually wiped the small cut at the corner of his mouth “It’s nothing, just a minor scratch What’s up?”

Carlos looked visibly worried, “Um…your mom asked me to get you home to do your homework. She said exams are around the corner, and if you don’t hit the books soon, your dad might be sending you off to boot camp

Byran didn’t seem too pleased, as he seemed to lack the words for a response.

Ellinor flashed a smile, “Better get your butt home and do your homework or your mom might whoop you”

Feeling a bit embarrassed in front of his new friend, Byran blushed, “Cut it out! I’m not a kid anymore, my mom won’t spank me anymore!”

Carlos glanced at Ellinor, puzzled at how Byran could be hanging out with the usually despised ‘Mrs Blanchet‘. Plus, she looked a bit weird today. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

However, he didn’t have time to ponder, Byran was hurt, and even if he didn’t need to be rushed to the ER, he should at the very least get him to see a doc ASAP

Carlos quickly pulled Byran away. “Let’s hit the road! If we’re late, your dad might whoop you too.”

Ellinor giggled

Byran seemed ticked off, glaring at Carlos, “You dimwit, cut the crap! I’ve never been whooped!”

Carlos mumbled defensively. “Oh, my bad! You’ve never been whooped”

Byran was irritated, “Don’t pull me! I can walk!”

As Carlos led Byran away, Ellinor seemed quite pleased

“Ellinor!”

Sheila’s voice suddenly rang out.

Ellinor turned around to see Sheila storming over.

“Ellinor, there you are! I’ve been looking all over for you and here you are, goofing off all by yourself on the swings!”

Ellinor calmly replied. “I’ve been looking for you too. I couldn’t find you and got tired, so I’m taking a breather here!”

Sheila glared, “Get up, now!”

Ellinor stood up

Sheila sat down on the swing, haughtily announcing. “Just so you know, my godfather will be introducing me to someone important later, and you need to be there to assist

me”

Godfather? Ellinor thought. Must be that middle–aged man she was having a great chat with earlier.

Sheila’s godfather, Pollock, is a big–shot director in the film industry. He was attending the banquet today to secure funding for his new movie.

Sheila’s invite was courtesy of her godfather.

He had also suggested she could meet some bigwigs in the investment world while there, and she might land more resources down the line if she catches their eye. Thinking about meeting important people made Sheila a bit nervous. She needed an assistant to boost her image.

Ellinor’s outfit today was rather unassuming, so she wouldn’t steal any limelight from Sheila.

“Got it? You need to be on your toes. You’re not just there to assist me but also to serve tea and water to the VIPS. They’re big shots!”

Ellinor nodded, “Got it. But who are we meeting? At least give me a heads up.”

Sheila proudly announced, “The head honcho of the Blanchet family – Theo!”
