Ellen blinked her eyes as she looked at Jared and felt bad for him, for he had built her an amazing
house but only prepared himself a small room within it.
“I sleep here at times, so I’ve prepared some spare clothes.” “Where’s your nket?” She noticed that
there was no nket on his bed.
“I spilled some red wine on my nket while sleeping here two days ago. I’ve already asked my
assistant to send it for dry cleaning, but it hasn’t been sent back yet,’ he replied whileughing.
Hearing that, she tugged his sleeve and whispered to him while blushing, ‘In that case…. You can
sleep in my room tonight.” There were other rooms in the house, but Jared understood what she was
implying. He, too, blushed as he was surprised and ted to hear that. “Really?” he asked.
“Yeah!” She nodded. In the past year, she managed to find herself and build her self- confidence, so
she was ready to start a rtionship with him; she no longer felt scared and wanted to date him
publicly.
Even if she overheard the female staff belittling her while she was hiding in her cubicle one day, she:
wouldn’t be afraid anymore. “It’s gettingte, and I feel tired! Let’s go to bed earlier!” she uttered but
was so shy that she didn’t dare look at him. Jared gazed at her affectionately and replied, “Okay!”
Til go take a shower!” She pushed him away. Seeing how shy she was, he decided to give her some
time and space and said, “Sure. You should go to bed first. I’ll take care of some work before going to
bed.”

Sure enough, Ellen felt more at ease after hearing what he said. She then went into the room and
closed the door behind her before taking a shower.
After that, she walked into the closet with a towel wrapped around her, and as she was standing in front
of a row of pajamas, she bit her lip while trying to choose one. In the end, she chose a short, pink night
dress with spaghetti straps which beautifully outlined her curves and revealed her soft and smooth skin.
As Elleny in bed, she had a hard time falling asleep; her mind was full of Jared as he continued to
work outside. She tossed and turned and got curious about when he would finish his work.
Is he nning to wait for me to fall asleep before hees in?
On the other hand, Jared was sitting on the couch with hisptop switched on. Although he was looking
at the report on theputer, his mind was thinking about Ellen being in the room.
He wondered if she had finished taking a shower and whether she would be startled if he went in. Is
she waiting for me?
No matter how important his work was, he had. no inclination to do it at the moment and wouldn’t even
mind if he lost a hundred billion. He couldn’t help but look at the time. It’s been half an hour. Is she
already asleep in bed? Can I go in now?
At the same time, Ellen’s mind was racing with thoughts as shey in bed. Does he not want toe
in? Does he think that his work is more important? Should I go out and call him? Should I ask him to go
to bed andplete his work tomorrow?
Finally, Jared shut hisptop and decided to enter the room. As soon as he pushed the door open,
Ellen, who was initially sitting on the bed nervously, lifted the nket over herself and pretended to be
asleep.
When Jared walked in, he felt slightly disappointed when he saw the still figure in the bed. Was she so
tired that she fell asleep? Just then, the figure moved, and he couldn’t help but smile. It seems like she
is pretending to be asleep! With that, he headed straight to the bathroom.
When Ellen heard the bathroom door closing, she sat up and let out a sigh as it was suffocating to hide
under the nket. She was extremely nervous. As she held her hot and flushed face, she found it hard
to calm herself down. Soon, she heard the sound of water in the bathroom and quickly got out of bed to
get a ss of water outside. All that anxiety made her feel thirsty.
