Chapter 1127
They had no idea that the soundproofing on the main office door wasn’t as good as they thought. As a result, their conversation
seeped through.
Ida was sitting opposite Chase at his desk with a throbbing vein visible on her temple.
Chase, however, seemed highly amused. “What’s up?” He asked jovially. “You look a bit peeved. Are you annoyed at that guy?”
Ida shot him a glare. “Cut the crap, Chase. Do you really think I’m interested in him?”
Chase propped his chin on his hand as a smirk played on his lips. “Whether you are or not, you’ve already gotten involved with
him.”
Ida massaged her forehead as a look of regret appeared on her face. “I wish I hadn’t. Can you help me shake him off?”
Chase cocked an eyebrow. “Actually, there might be a way, but I don’t think you need to be in such a hurry to dump him. There
aren’t many sincere guys like him around these days. Are you sure you don’t want to give him another shot?”
“Of course not! Just help me figure out how to get rid of him.”
“That’s easy.” Chase said. “Just call his brother, Balfour, and tell him he’s bothering you. His brother will take care of it.”
Ida had considered this approach but was hesitant. She was worried that Bryan might be punished by his brother. After all,
Bryan’s pursuit of her wasn’t exactly one-sided. She had shown interest first.
Ida’s silence made Chase raise an eyebrow. “Are you worried that Byran will be reprimanded when he gets home?”
Ida snapped back to reality, and her brows furrowed. “He needs a good talking-to. Let his brother handle him!”
She whipped out her phone and dialed the office of the president of the Howard Group.
After watching Ida finish her call with Balfour, Chase couldn’t hold back his amazement. “I can’t believe you actually made that
call.”
Ida shot him a disdainful look as she adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses. “Less chatter, Chase! Did you call our boss?”
The mention of their boss, Ellinor made Chase sober up. “I did, but she didn’t answer.”

“No answer?” Ida felt something was off. “She should be awake by now!”
“I’m afraid my number might have been blocked by Mr. Blanchet.” Chase said, looking worried. “You try calling her.”
Ida dialed Ellinor’s number, but there was no answer.
They exchanged worried looks, both sensing trouble.
“I sent her a text, but she didn’t reply. That’s unusual.”
“Do you think Theo found out we told Boss about his secret marriage overseas and is trying to cut us off?”
“Could be! Should we go find her?”
“If Theo is really blocking us, we might not be able to get into the Blanchet Villa.”
Meanwhile, outside the office.
Byran and Belinda were still arguing.
“Hey, Byran.” Belinda asked tentatively, “You just said your girlfriend was in Mr. Larios’ office. Why would she need to see him?”
She was wondering if Chase, the notorious womanizer, had brought Byran’s girlfriend into his office.
“I don’t know.” Byran replied. “She must have some business with Mr. Larios.”
Belinda was taken aback. “Who is your girlfriend? Why would she need to see Mr. Larios?”
With a hint of pride, Byran pointed in a direction. “Her office is over there. Do you think she’s qualified to see Mr. Larios?”
