Chapter 786
Eleanor walked into the kitchen with a smile, opened the fridge and was about to scrounge for some
grub when she suddenly heard the sound of a shutter click behind her.
“Darn it, I forgot to mute it…”
Elbert Pine was hiding behind the door, decked out in a chef’s outfit, holding his phone towards her
Eleanor was taken aback to see him sneaking onto the ship just to snap a pic of her. She gave him a
