ted by the pleasant surprise, Ellen took a small bite of the meat. Its smooth yet juicy texture elicited


    a smile on her face. “It’s delicious.”


    The duo enjoyed their dinner until 8.00PM, after which Jared gave her a ride back home. She alighted


    from the car and waved at him. “Be careful on your way back.”


    He blinked at her as an acknowledgment. The control panel exuded faint blue light, which shrouded


    him in a glowing sheen with a touch of sophisticated grace..


    Only when he left the ce that she finally sent her address to Selena, who would arrive soon. Ellen


    wandered outside the neighborhood to buy some necessities. By the time Selena’s car halted at the


    entrance, Ellen happened to be there with a bag of daily necessities.


    “You live here?” Selena scanned the area in disbelief because she was aware no ordinary people


    would be able to afford a house there. Never had she imagined that Ellen would be this rich after


    Jessica’s house was demolished.


    “Yup, for the time being,’ Ellen reciprocated.


    Selena carried her luggage into the neighborhood when Ellen became curious about something.


    “Where are Uncle Connor and Aunt Olivia going? Is it something important?”


    ‘Dad’s friend passed away, so they’ll be helping with the funeral for the next few days. I’m scared.”


    Selena made up an excuse for herself. Since she had set her heart to approach Jared. by leveraging


    Ellen, she put down her egoism.


    On the other hand, Ellen bought her lies without a shadow of a doubt since she did not know her family


    that well.


    When they arrived at the door to Ellen’s ce, Selena wondered if the rental houseprised only one


    bedroom. However, her eyes widened in astonishment the second Ellen opened the door. She lives


    here? It’s huge and luxurious! And how is this a one-bedroom house? It stretches more than two


    hundred square feet!


    “Ellen, how much is the monthly rent?’ The question escaped Selena almost instantly.


    Ellen recalled the conversation she shared with Joanna, who told her not to reveal that employee


    welfare included amodations, so she glossed it over. “About five thousand.”


    Selena deemed it impossible. “No way. That cheap?” “The owner was in a hurry to leave the country.


    That’s why, Ellen elucidated.


    Selena stopped prying further on the notion. that it was better to stay in such a ce than a one-


    bedroom apartment. After her shower, she entered Ellen’s room on her own ord. She became salty


    at Ellen, who was donned in a thin nightgown.


    She appeared slim, but she had the curves that one desired; her body proportion was the epitome of


    perfection. Her slick tress fell over her shoulders, covering her angelic features and smooth skin.


    “Ellie, I can’t sleep. Let’s have a girls’ talk!” Selena nned on digging into Jared because girls tend to


    be more sentimental at night. They naturally spilled secrets when they lowered their guard.


    “Ellie, do you meet President Presgrave every day?” There went her first question. Ellen thought for a


    moment. “Almost. I’m in charge of making him coffee.”


    Selena did not look down upon that job, for she desired to take over that position. Too bad, she was not


    offered the chance. “Ellie, tell me more about him! I’d love to hear ’em.”


    It was not like Ellen could not see through her intentions. Thus, an idea sprouted in her mind. as she


    nodded. “Sure. There’s this one beautifuldy he knows.” “What? A beautifuldy?”


    “Yeah! She’s really pretty and seemed to be from a rich family. They’re quite close. I think they’re going


    out.” Selena blurted, “He’s taken?”


    “Who said he was single? Of course, he has one.” Ellen put on a serious face while making up a story,


    hoping it would stop Selena from bothering Jared.All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.
