If Ellen’s brother were still around, he would have been twenty-six years old. Ellen wiped away her


    tears and sighed.


    It was nearly time to head home from work when Ellen suddenly received a phone call from Selena


    saying she was waiting outside in her car. Ellen told Selena she needed a little more time because


    Ellen had to wait till her boss left before she was allowed to leave.


    Suddenly, Ellen’sndline went off, so she reached out to answer the phone. “Hi, President Presgrave.”


    “You can finish work now,” Jared said to her on the other end of the line.


    Ellen quickly asked, “Do you need me to do anything else for you?” Jared replied, “No, I’ve got some


    clients to entertain tonight. You can head home first.”


    “Sure!” Ellen hung up the phone and finally left the office feeling quite reassured.


    She took the elevator, and as it went, it stopped for the other staff who had also finished work. At the


    thirtieth level, a few female staff entered. They were engrossed in gossiping loudly as they walked in.


    “Hey, have you guys heard the news of the female staff at the reception area being transferred to the


    president’s office level? That receptionist must be quite outstanding.”


    “Yes. I’ve heard of that too. President Presgrave was the one who personally arranged for her transfer.


    She definitely has the means.” “What is her rtionship with President


    Presgrave? I heard that she’s stunning with a great figure.”


    “What else could it be between a man and a woman? It’s something illicit, of course! If I were prettier, I


    would parade in front of President Presgrave whenever I had the chance. Perhaps then, I might be able


    to seed in seducing him.”


    “Haha! You should forget about it. You’re a middle-ageddy, so stop having such ridiculous ideas!”


    Ellen blushed bright red in embarrassment. If she was not mistaken, she should be the particr


    female they were gossiping about.


    “Gosh, President Presgrave is such an outstanding man. That woman must have saved the


    before to gain his attention.


    The luckiest woman on earth, so to speak!”


    “Yeah, I wonder how it feels to be dating President Presgrave. Tsk. Tsk, He’s so hot. I would swoon if


    he would even cast a second look at me.

    “How does it feel? The kind that you would have a sore waist and find it hard to stand straight the next


    morning! Hahaha!”


    Every female staff inside the elevator burst outughing. Meanwhile, Ellen, standing in the corner of the


    elevator, shifted as far back to the corner as possible. She wanted so badly for the ground to swallow


    her up


    These people have such a wild imagination! It was just a promotion! Why did I suddenly be the


    woman in an illicit rtionship with President Presgrave?


    The elevator finally arrived at the ground floor, and Ellen waited for the female staff to leave before


    fleeing from the elevator. Her face was flushed bright red. She saw Selena’s car parked outside upon


    walking out of the front entrance, and she immediately headed over and opened the door to take a seat


    inside.


    Meanwhile, Selena studied Ellen intently upon seeing her enter the car. “Is someone hunting you


    down?”


    “I didn’t want to keep you waiting for too long.”


    Selena started the ignition and asked casually, “Ellie, do you have a boyfriend?”


    Ellen shook her head frantically. “No! I don’t have a boyfriend.”


    Selena was engrossed in her thoughts, Mom mentioned that when Harvey called Ellen this morning, a


    man iming to be her boyfriend answered the phone, so who’s lying? Selena was quite intent on


    uncovering all of Ellen’s deepest secrets. “Say, do you want to have spaghetti tonight?


    Let’s go home and make some,” Ellen mentioned. Selena didn’t want spaghetti at all. “Spaghetti again?


    You’ve just been promoted, so treat me to a meal at a restaurant.”


    Ellen considered Selena’s words before nodding. “Okay, let’s go.”


    They went for dinner at a restaurant, and upon entering, Selena behaved much more naturally


    compared to Ellen, who clearly wasn’t a frequent visitor. Selena went ahead and ordered three hundred


    worth of food. When it was time to pay, Selena made an excuse to leave and visited the washroom.


    Ellen was very sporting, and she footed the bill withoutints. She recalled her and her brother


    being taken into Selena’s home when they were kids. It was a kind deed that Ellen knew to repay.


    On the other hand, Selena was pleased with the meal. When they arrived back at Ellen’s house,


    Selena’s bad habits were revealed. Selena was veryzy and didn’t even bother to wash her clothes.


    After taking something from the shelf, she just left it lying around. Meanwhile, Ellen diligently tidied the


    living room after Selena went back into her room.


    Shortly after that, Selena came over to chat with Ellen. As they chatted, Selena purposely mentioned


    that she would like to have some warm milk and requested Ellen to make it for her.
