“I knew it! Selena left a bad impression on me of how she treated Ellen, and I even felt bad for Ellen.


    Who would have known that Ellen was such a cunning woman? She seduced the president and


    manipted him into dismissing Selena.”


    “That’s right. I got deceived by her appearance. She looks just like an innocent girl but turned out to be


    the viin in the story.”


    Even though the news spread among the employees, nobody dared confront Ellen about it. Meanwhile,


    Ellen was preparing for the written exam to earn her driving license in her office. She had zero ideas


    about what went viral among her colleagues.


    It was only when she felt her eyes hurting and her brain overprocessing that she left her office. and


    headed to the washroom. Just as she closed the door of the cubicle, a conversation between two


    people reached her ears.


    ‘Have you seen the group message? Is it true about Ellen? Did she really manage to get President


    Presgrave to fire her cousin?”


    “If it isn’t true, Selena’s mother wouldn’t make a fuss about it by asking the men to put the banner


    outside thepany for that long. She must be very angry.”


    “That’s unexpected of Ellen. Do you think she has done anything to make President Presgrave fall for


    her?”


    “If not, President Presgrave wouldn’t have spared a nce at her in the first ce. After all, there are


    other gorgeous women in thepany, but none of them ever get a promotion as fast as she did.


    She’s the only person who gets promoted from a receptionist to the president’s assistant in a sh.”


    “You’re right. I wonder what she had possibly done. I’ll try them on someone when I master them.”


    “Well, aren’t you a little ambitious?” One of the women concluded their conversation withughter.


    Little did they know, the subject of their discussion was now standing in thest cubicle, hearing every


    word they said.


    Ellen was bewildered by the whole thing. Did they say Selena’s mother is holding a banner in front of


    thepany? Aunt Olivia is here?


    After the two women left the washroom, Ellen came out of the cubicle with a flushed face. The women


    had no respect for her at all and their words degraded her by calling her a vixen. However, she was


    confident that she never thought about seducing Jared for once since. their encounter.


    Ellen headed toward the elevator lobby and got on one of them. The doors soon opened again on


    another level, and a discussion began as soon as a few people stepped inside.


    “Can you believe it? It’s happening around us! How could Ellen treat her family like that just because


    she made it to the top? And that person is her cousin no less! I also heard that her cousin is an analyst.


    Do you have any idea how high the professional qualifications she must have to join the department?”


    “I happened to hear that Ellen already made moves on President Presgrave when she was working as


    a receptionist. She never did her job, though. Instead, she kept making chance encounters with


    President Presgrave and seduced him.”


    “I don’t understand. Why did President Presgrave even fall for her in the first ce? There are many


    female employees in thepany and all of them are prettier and better


    than her.” “That’s right. I have a hard time believing it too. Besides, President Presgrave has bad taste


    in women.” “After all, President Presgrave is still young. A cunning girl like Ellen can easily wrap him


    around her fingers.”


    “By the way, I don’t even know what the girl looks like.” “Here’s her picture. Have a look.”


    The female employee showed the screen of her phone to the people around her. She happened to look


    behind her and she nearly let her phone slip at the sight of a certain person. Immediately covering her


    mouth, she watched the woman in the corner in disbelief. At the same time, the woman returned her


    gaze.


    Even though the other woman’s expression was calm, the female employee was overwhelmed.


    “I’m sorry, Miss Reiss. We didn’t mean to talk about you like that.” The female employee apologized to


    Ellen without hesitation. President Presgrave has her back. I can’t risk getting on her bad side. Who


    knows what will happen to me if she tells him about this?


    In a split second, everyone in the elevator was looking in Ellen’s direction. Shameful expressions


    emerged on their faces as if they were a bunch of children who got caught making mistakes. All of


    them promptly hung their heads low. They were afraid if Ellen recognized them, she wouldin to


    Jared and get them fired.


    On the contrary, Ellen kept silent because she was also searching for the right words to say.


    When the elevator doors opened again, the employees rushed out of the elevator without even making


    sure they had reached their destination. Soon, Ellen was standing in the elevator, utterly alone.Original content from N?velDrama.Org.
