It was because the person standing in front of Selena was her male manager.
“Mr. Rhodes, do you live here?” Selena asked in surprise
Jeffrey glanced at her and said, ‘Yes, I live here.”
Selena entered the elevator awkwardly. Subsequently, Jeffrey asked, ‘Do you live here as well?”
“M-My cousin lives here.” Selena was slightly nervous as she replied.
“What position does your cousin hold in the company?”
“S-She works at the level of the president’s office.”
“Oh! That makes sense then.”
The elevator stopped at two levels below them, and two people entered the elevator. They greeted Jeffrey warmly.
“Hi, Mr. Rhodes.”
At that point, Selena was shocked to discover that everyone knew each other. Furthermore, she faintly
remembered that one of them was the director of the Finance Department.
“Why does everyone live here? This is such a coincidence,” Selena interrupted.
“This is the residential area provided by the company for the management-level staff, so that’s why we all live
here!” the female director mentioned.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSelena couldn’t contain her shock and quickly asked, “Are the houses here available for rent for the public?”
“This is a residential area developed by our company, so none of the properties has ever been rented out to the
public. Those who are eligible to stay here hold at least a managerial position in the company. Which department
do you work in?” The female director couldn’t contain her curiosity and asked.
At that point, Ellen was mortified. She had no other option but to say, “I-I work under Mr. Rhodes.”
“Her cousin lives here,” Jeffrey quickly explained, just in case they misunderstood that something was going on
between him and his female subordinate
“Which department does your cousin work in?”
“She works at the president’s office.”
Quite impressed, the female director instantly replied, “Your cousin’s very capable to get a job by the president’s
side at such a young age.”
Selena exited the elevator, significantly dumbstruck. So, Ellen actually lied to me! This isn’t a place she rented at
all! She was granted this accommodation for free by the company! How on earth did Ellen get this perk? The
location and amenities of this residential area are way more luxurious and better than my area! Ugh, how could she
lie to me?
Selena was angered beyond words and reached out for her phone to give Ellen a call.

speaking!”
“Ellen, how could you lie to me! The house you’re staying at right now isn’t a rental property at all! It’s a luxury
apartment provided by the company!”
Stunned, Ellen didn’t expect Selena to have found out, but Ellen admitted frankly, “Yes, it is provided by the
company.”
“So why did you lie to me? I’m your cousin!
“Yeah. Are you still in my house?”
“Yes, of course!”
“Please gather your belonging right now and move out of my home. You’re no longer welcome to stay.”
“What did you just say?”
“Last night, you secretly used my phone and sent some flirty messages to President Presgrave. Don’t assume I’m
unaware of things! Ellen furiously exposed Selena’s misdeed.
Selena was taken aback by that. She didn’t expect Ellen to find out, so she ended up saying, “It wasn’t intentional.
Your phone was by my side, so I randomly replied to a few messages. I was worried that you would tell me off, so I
deleted the messages.
“Are

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmaware that by sending those messages, you’ve created a huge misunderstanding for me and President Presgrave?”
Ellen was enraged.
As soon as Selena heard that, she was secretly delighted. Did President Presgrave get mad at her and told her off?
“Why? Did you get told off by President Presgrave?”
“No, he didn’t. He misunderstood and wondered whether I was interested in him.”
“You could have told him that I was the one who sent those messages! In fact, Selena hoped that Ellen would do
that. As such, Selena’s presence would become known to Jared.
“That’s ridiculous! I had no choice but to admit that I was the one who sent those messages. Next time, please
don’t touch my cell phone without permission!” Ellen hung up the phone immediately after saying that
Originally, Selena had thought that last night’s text message exchange was great, but right now, she was quite
unhappy. At this point, she regretted her actions for teasing President Presgrave provocatively on Ellen’s behalf.
