Selena sneered. “Ellen, I don’t know whether your words are true. You’re always by President
Presgrave’s side, but you dare to im that you think about him? Don’t you have a crush on him or
something?” “I know where I stand. I know that my background doesn’t match his, so I have my
boundaries,” Ellen retorted.
“Ohhh! Your denial means you still have tricks up your sleeve, though. Don’t think I’m unaware that you
want President Presgrave to notice you. You have been dirt poor since young, so you want to rely on
him to rise!” Selena was adamant about revealing the reason why Ellen got close to Jared.
Ellen’s eyes turned red due to her anger. “Nonsense. I’ve never thought about this before and never
will.” As his chest heaved up and down, he finally interrupted and stopped Selena from continuing her
attack on Ellen. “Stop it and shut up.” Selena was shocked because she hadn’t vented enough of her
frustrations on Ellen!
It was only at that moment that he turned to look at Ellen and softly said, “Ellen, I’ve never cared about
your background, so you shouldn’t either. Nothing is difficult if you set your heart. and soul on it. If you
don’t try, how would you know whether you’ve seeded or not?”
Ellen was already rendered confused by the argument with Selena, so she couldn’t understand what
Jared inferred.
However, Selena did as her eyes widened. She was stunned and looked at Ellen in disbelief because
she didn’t know what was going on.

At the end of the day, Jared wasn’t ming Ellen even after Selena tried to fan the mes. He looked
at Selena before turning to Ellen with doubt. His thin lips were raised as he asked, “Don’t you
understand what I said?”
Ellen nodded. “I understand!” In actual fact, she didn’t. “Don’t be my assistant. Be my girlfriend
instead!” He cut to the chase.
His words took the breath out of her and she almost fainted. “President Presgrave, how can someone
like her be your girlfriend?” an angered Selena demanded.
“You are actually wrong. The rtionship between Ellen and me doesn’t stem from her wooing me.
Rather, I’m the one who’s after her. It’s just that she’s too dense to even realize what I mean, Jared
exined coldly to Selena.
Ellen suddenly felt that she couldn’t continue. with her job and turned to him. ‘I quit, President
Presgrave. I’m doing this job.”
She wanted to return to her previous life where she didn’t have any worries whatsoever. Now that she
had a million in her savings, she could do whatever it was that she wanted to do in the past like
be a volunteer or work in a pet shop. Heck, I don’t mind returning to my previous job as a barista
too!
He suddenly snorted. “Try me! The liquidated damages you have to pay is a million.”
Her hand holding the bag froze. Do you have to be mean? I have a million in savings and you want me
topensate you with it?
Selena was just as shocked because it looked like she was the outsider as he tried to shower Ellen
with affection. “You can’t ask me to pay so much.” Ellen tried to negotiate. She couldn’t bear to part with
one million.
Selena was obviously unaware of the way Jared and Ellen socialized with each other. Apart from an
employer-subordinate rtionship, they even had a friendship going on.
“Stay here and work. Don’t go anywhere. You can tell anyone that I have a girlfriend. Heck, even if you
were to announce to the world that I’m taken, I won’t me you. If anyone asks me, I’ll just say that you
are my girlfriend. I want you to know what it means to reap what you sow.” He punished Ellen for this lie
because he wanted her to be his girlfriend.
“I’m in the wrong, okay? I’m apologizing to you, but I don’t want to be your girlfriend,” Ellen rejected.
Being Jared’s girlfriend meant enduring the countless pressure from others, so she would much prefer
being single.
Selena almost snapped in jealousy because the man she dreamed of was rejected by Ellen. Jared
seemed to expect Ellen’s reaction. He was neither angry nor annoyed; rather, he was merely helpless.
