Ellinor was suddenly promoted and when she asked Balfour why, he just said it was because she was
too talented to be wasted as a secretary.
That didn’t sound like the real reason.
She glanced at Bartlett, who was sitting in the guest seat and sipping his coffee with a smile She felt
the promotion must have something to do with him.
After leaving the CEO’s office, Quinton took her to the manager’s office of the sales department and
even had people redecorate her office.
Before leaving, Quinton thoughtfully said, ‘Ms. Mendoza, if you have any complaints about the office or
need anything, just let me know. We can adjust it to your liking at any time.”

Ellinor was very surprised and nodded, “Thanks; I don’t need anything for now.”
She sat in her office chair, which was indeed much more confortable than the secretary’s chair.
However, working here was inconvenient for her mission to approach Balfour and investigate her
mother’s affairs.
Bartlett knocked on the door of her office and walked in elegantly, “So, do you like your new office?”
Ellinor was expressionless, she came to the Howard Group not looking for a promotion or salary
increase.
“Bartlett, tell me what you and Mr. Howard talked about, why did he suddenly promote me?”
Bartlett sat in a chair across from her desk, smiling at her, “I told him I want to pursue you, and hoped
he could take more care of you because of me.”
Ellinor was bored, “Stop kidding me, be serious!”
Bartlett laughed, “I’m not kidding. I really want to pursue you; I’m serious.”
Ellinor knew that Bartlett liked to tease her, but she didn’t care, “I mean, what did you really tell Mr.
Howard to get him to promote me? Answer me seriously!”
Bartlett became serious, “I can tell Balfour doesn’t like you. I know him best. You won’t have a good
time working under his nose. So I told him, you will be my future girlfriend and I don’t want my future
girlfriend to do such chores at the Howard Group, so I hope he could give you a more comfortable job.”
Ellinor looked at him, “Bartlett, has anyone ever told you that you’re shameless?”
Bartlett laughed happily, “No, you’re the first.”
Ellinor was dumbfounded.
“I never take the initiative like this with other girls.”

Bartlett laughed, “You’ll soon find out that no one but you can fascinate me like this.”
Ellinor was not interested in arguing with him and she asked again, “So you just said you wanted to
pursue me, and Mr. Howard agreed to promote me?”
“Of course not. You should know that Mr. Howard is very shrewd. If there is no benefit for him,
discussing love affairs with him is useless.”
“So how did you persuade him to promote me?”
“I told him that if I could have you, his dear sister would lose a major threat, and he could finally rest
easy. He thought about it for a few seconds and then agreed. After all, Balfour cares for his sister the
most.”
Ellinor frowned, “Why would I be a major threat to his sister?”
Bartlett looked at her deeply, “You really don’t know?”
Ellinor gave a soft snort, “I’m not so sure about that.”
