Over at the conference room. Jared’s lips curled for a while as he held his cup of Joe. It wasn’t sweetened coffee, but it tasted sweet to him. It looks like she must be cute when she’s drunk! I’ll like to get to know her.
When he thought about asking her whether she liked him earlier that morning, he found it comical. Ellen was still annoyed and blushed at that thought. If she admitted that she was the one who sent those chat messages, wouldn’t that mean that she really had something with Jared?
No, no. She shook her head. I just want to stay by his side and work well. I can’t afford to think about unrealistic matters.
When he returned to the office, Stanley handed him an invitation card and asked, “President Presgrave, there is a charity event this Friday. Do you need me to reject it?”
Jared waved his hand. “There’s no need. I’ll go.” Stanley was taken aback because Jared was never a big fan of such events. So, why is he going this time?
Selena arrived at the company in the afternoon and she couldn’t help asking where Ellen lived in. The answer she received was that Ellen lived in an accommodation that the senior management had helped to arrange.
Damn. I’m jealous of her. She thought it was Jared who arranged Ellen’s accommodation instead of the Human Resources Department!
As soon as she remembered Jared mentioning that he had a girlfriend, Selena wondered why he had to treat a mere assistant so well. “Is President Presgrave taken?”
“Nope. I’m sure of this,” one of the female employees answered. “How are you so sure?” Selena queried.
“I have a senior who works in the senior management at headquarters. I just asked her about this two days ago. Forget about women coming in and out of President Presgrave’s office. He doesn’t have anyone throwing themselves at his feet either.”
“What if she never visits the office?” “Impossible. When President Presgrave is swamped with work, he’ll be cooped up in his office for the entire week.
Selena couldn’t help but clench her fists in anger. “In that case, that means he doesn’t have a girlfriend?”
“Of course. I mean, that’s something that all the females in the office are concerned about. Don’t tell me I heard wrongly?” The female employee was confident with her news.
Damn it, Ellen. You lied to me again! Selena was close to blowing her top because she couldn’t understand Ellen’s intention in doing what she did. Could it be that Ellen wanted Jared all to herself?
What a scheming woman! I thought she was an innocent child, but she looks like she is tricking me. Damn. Selena was about to die of anger because the person whom she looked down upon had duped her.
No wonder Jared quickly fell for the ruse when she took Ellen’s call to trick him. It looked like he was really single, but if that was the case, didn’t it mean that she dug her own grave by helping Ellen to seduce him?
She was so annoyed that she wanted to slap herself because her malice turned out to be Ellen’s guiding star.
The more she thought about it, the more Ellen was exasperated. She noticed that it was 3.30PM and set aside her cup of Joe to head to the elevators. She could no longer stomach her anger, she wanted to seek out Ellen and demand why Ellen lied to her.
The floor of the headquarters was serene. When Ellen arrived, she ran into one of the female assistants and hurriedly asked, “Hello, may I know where Ellen’s office is?”
“Over there,” the female assistant replied in haste and pointed in the direction of Ellen’s office. Selena immediately headed in that direction and saw Ellen having a large desk from the floor-to-ceiling window, which immediately made her envious because Ellen was a mere assistant but had a spacious workspace.
When she unceremoniously opened the door and entered, she frightened Ellen, who then raised her head. As soon as she did so, she noticed Selena coming toward her with aggression.
