Chapter 466
Ellinor Mendoza tapped on the office door and then walked in, placing a freshly brewed cup of hot
coffee in front of Balfour Howard
“Mm.”
Balfour was deeply engrossed in some documents, absentmindedly taking a sip of his coffee without
looking away from his work
Haillie, sitting on the office sofa, was eagerly watching Balfour, sure that he would react angrily to the
overly sweet and milky coffee and scold Ellinor But no reaction came. Balfour simply took another sip
of his coffee, his face expressionless.
What the hell?
Haillie frowned. Her hopeful expression turned into one of disappointment. Had Balfour changed his

Meanwhile, Ellinor stood by Balfour’s desk, stealing glances at a certain picture frame.
Balfour took another sip of his coffee and noticed his new secretary still standing there. Annoyed, he
