“Let’s bet, then. We’ll see how long Ellen can stay by President Presgrave’s side.” ‘Okay. I bet three thousand on five years!” “I bet three years.” Frozen, Ellen stood in the cubicle, but she didn’t blame these two people for saying that about her because she seemed to be incapable.
She had been working hard for a living these years, striving to have enough food on the table. In the future, she really should improve herself and become someone who can shine on her own without relying on others.
Only after the two women left, did she push open the door and walk out. Her expression was very calm, and she wasn’t ashamed of being ridiculed. Instead, she was made known of her weakness. A few years later, she might be grateful for their ridicule today.
Coming out of the restroom, she didn’t return to Jared’s office. She stood at the floor-to-ceiling window on the aerial corridor, looking out at the distant scenery. At this moment, she was seriously contemplating her future because too many things had happened to her recently, making her unable to focus on planning her future.
In terms of money, she no longer lacked. For a girl like her, who had over five million in savings, learning financial management could increase her income, and the interest could support her daily life.
However, she needed to find her passion, one that didn’t involve making money. Ellen had a lot of thoughts in her mind. Just then, she heard footsteps coming this way, along with many people talking.
She couldn’t help but hide behind a pillar. When she sneaked a peek, she saw a group of middle-aged men surrounding the young Jared. They were all listening attentively to what he was saying. Their expressions were respectful and serious, not daring to show any hint of negligence.
When Jared stopped to contemplate something, the people behind him instantly stopped as well, not even daring to step within half a yard behind him. One elderly man even bowed and stepped back when he leaned. slightly forward.
These individuals were all top managers of the Presgrave Group. In terms of wealth and status, they were all top-tier members of society. Yet, in front of Jared, they all assumed such humble postures.
When Ellen saw that, she was completely shocked. No wonder those female employees were discussing me in that way. In the eyes of outsiders, Jared was a young king of the business world, someone who was admired and looked up to by everyone. So why did she deserve to stand by his side?
At this moment, she was also questioning. herself. That’s right. Why do I deserve his affection? Is it just because Kevin’s heart was donated to him?If not for this connection, I’ll be nothing more than a low-level employee in his company, without even the qualification to see him every day.
She watched as Jared and the group of men walked away, feeling a sigh escape her lips. Soon after, her phone rang, and it was Jared calling. “Hello?” she answered.
“Where are you?” he asked gently. “I’m in the washroom. I’ll be back soon,” she replied, then put her thoughts to the back of her mind before heading toward his office.
At this moment, Jared was resting on the couch, his handsome face showing a hint of fatigue and sluggishness. Despite this, he exuded a charm that could mesmerize any woman.
I’ve made a dinner reservation at your favorite restaurant,” he told her. With a nod, she answered, “Okay.” “Oh, and by the way, I’ve taken your old phone.
From now on, you’ll use the new phone I’ve given you with a new number.” He was kind enough to inform her about his arrangements. She had no objections and nodded in agreement. “Okay.”
When he received her affirmative reply, he smiled in satisfaction. With the old phone gone, the Aguirre Family won’t be able to track her down. It’s time for Selena to pay for what she has done!
At this moment, Connor was using all of his connections to find Ellen, but she seemed to have vanished completely. Her former classmates and colleagues had no idea where she had gone.
That night, Ellen followed Jared back to his home while Connor and Olivia were troubled by their daughter’s crime.
