Jared looked at the silent Ellen before he turned to Selena. Then, he addressed Ellen, “Ellen, do you
want to exin things?” “I don’t want to because I lied to her,” Ellen admitted. “But I want to hear it,”
Jared insisted in seriousness.
She was startled and turned to look at the solemn man as she felt pressured. Selena snorted because
she knew that Jared would see what kind of person Ellen was. Let’s see how you’ll wriggle your way
out!

As Ellen never expected that she’d be forced to exin, she took a deep breath and nodded. “Fine, I’ll
exin those two matters. Firstly, the Human Resource Department Manager warned me not to tell
anyone about the
amodation part. So, I’m sorry, Selena. I lied to you. As for me saying that President Presgrave has
a girlfriend, that’s also a lie,” she admitted.
“Please. You’re full of lies! President Presgrave has no girlfriend, but you spread rumors that he has.
What’s your intention? Could it be you wanted an exclusive chance with him?” Selena sneered again
because Ellen was unqualified to be Jared’s girlfriend.
Ellen hurriedly exined, “No, I don’t mean that. I just hoped that you won’t disturb President
Presgrave’s work and personal life.”
“Who are you to care about his life? You are just President Presgrave’s assistant. Did you think you are
his girlfriend? Even if he has bad taste, he will not have the hots for you!” Selena shouted at that
moment, making it sound like her words made sense.
Ellen’s face flushed even redder. She felt that Jared was looking at her and she had the urge to flee the
scene in embarrassment. “I’m sorry, Ellen,” she apologized sincerely for her lies.
Seeing that she had scolded Ellen to the point where Ellen was so embarrassed, Selena suddenly felt
that Jared would hate her too. However, when she turned in his direction, she noticed his gaze was on
Ellen, but it wasn’t one of annoyance.
Am I hallucinating? He is distressed on her behalf? Selena couldn’t help but panic. “President
Presgrave, you should know best what kind of person she is. Not only that, but I knew that she tried to
seduce you through the messages. She has ulterior motives toward you,” she said in her attempt to
portray Ellen as a bad person.
“Selena, I admit that I’m in the wrong. Please stop speaking.” Ellen raised her head to stop Selena from
telling more.
Selena sneered and added, “My cousin is with someone whom my parents introduced as a date, but
she won’t separate from you, President Presgrave. What a busy person she is!”
This was enough to cause Ellen to snap. “Stop spewing nonsense! Harvey and I are no longer in
contact.”
“President Presgrave, Ellen has an innocent- looking face, but she actually schemes. She has resorted
to all tactics to lie to you.” Selena disliked Ellen so much that she wanted to ruin Ellen’s reputation.
Jared looked at Selena with aplicated look before he turned to Ellen, who apologized under his
gaze. “President Presgrave, I’m sorry. I lied to you.” “About what?” He narrowed his eyes.
“Yesterday’s messages were all sent by Selena, not me. She took the opportunity to text you when I
was away. In the morning, I told you that I was drunk texting you. That was a lie.” Ellen was so
ashamed that she couldn’t look him in the eye, which left him sad.
The expression on Selena’s face changed because she never expected Ellen to turn the tables on her.
She quickly imed, “I didn’t intend to. I was replying to the text messages that you sent Ellen on
impulse, President Presgrave.” The frown on Jared’s face deepened.
Now that Ellen had finally raised her head and met Jared’s gaze with clear eyes, she went on, “I would
never dare to show any disrespect to you or possess any fantasies about you, President Presgrave. I
just want to do my job. and be the best employee that I can.”
These words left him insecure. Why is she expressing her honesty? Did she think I would like it?
