Chapter 637
She was just a young girl who did not exactly come from money
She just graduated, so she was not exactly rolling in dough How could she possibly afford a swanky five star hotel?
It was just too ludicrous to even think about.
Ellinor cracked a small smirk, “Balfour, you don’t actually think I’m into you, do you?”
With a poker face, Balfour croaked out a hollow laugh, “I don’t give a damn if you like me or not. Just don’t do
anything stupid, or you’ll have to face the music. Consider yourself warned.”
Ellinor giggled and shrugged, “I don’t have any ulterior motives. If you don’t trust me, Mr. Howard, so be it.”
Just then, the elevator doors opened, but they hadn’t reached the ground floor. Instead, a crowd of people poured
in.

some event.
Ellinor was squeezed into a corner, and someone even stepped on her fool.
“Excuse me, mind moving your foot? You’re stepping on me.”
The guy who had stepped on her foot was not part of the group. He was already annoyed by the cramped space
and turned around impatiently to look at Ellinor
However, as soon as he laid eyes on her, he was taken aback and quickly shifted his foot with a smile.
“Sorry, miss, didn’t see your foot in all that commotion. Are you alright?”
Ellinor shook her head slowly. “I’m fine.”
Using the crowd as an excuse to get closer, the man asked, “Are you here alone?”
Ellinor glanced at him, then looked down at her phone, not feeling like engaging with him.
But the guy was persistent, “Why aren’t you talking? What floor are you on? We could hang out
Ellinor was turned off by this guy, but the elevator was too crowded for her to avoid him. “No need, I’m here with
my friends.”
The guy seemed disappointed, “Can we exchange contact info then? Maybe we can grab a meal sometime.”
Ellinor didn’t even look at him, “Sorry, I’m not interested.”
The guy still had a big grin on his face and he moved even closer, “Come on! What’s wrong with getting to know
each other?”
Ellinor frowned and ignored him, shifting towards the corner of the elevator, trying to put as much distance
between them as possible.
This kind of guy was really irritating.
However, when the guy saw that Ellinor was ignoring him, his pride was hurt and he was not happy.

While shouting, the man pushed Ellinor under his arm, wearing a fake smile, “Don’t worry. I’ll protect you from
these jerks who can’t stop pushing.”
His words sounded noble, but he was just using the situation to get closer to her, so he could try to take advantage
of her.
The unwanted closeness was making Ellinor very uncomfortable. She frowned and moved her wrist.
Keep it cool! Starting a fight in the elevator could cause a malfunction: As soon as the doors opened, she would give
this creep what he deserved.
*Back off.”
Before the elevator doors could open, a deep and indifferent voice suddenly rang out
The man harassing Ellinor was startled. Who was that?
The voice sounded like a man’s
“Buzz off”
