More importantly, if she interpreted correctly, Ellen had his private number!
Heavens! That was something she could not have asked for.
“President Presgrave, you can rest assured that | will tell my parents about this and let them do justice for Ellie” Selena desperately
wanted to get the man’s attention.
However, he merely glanced at her before looking back at Ellen. “No matter what, you can ctoif you face any problems.”
Ellen was applying the cold compress and felt embarrassed while asking, “President Presgrave, why are you so kind to me?”
Selena, too, was curious about this.
Jared knew that every Ellen-related thing he did was certainly something he would not usually do, but he felt willing to do all that.
That was a new revelation for him.
“Isn't it good that someone's nice to you?” he asked with a smile, revealing his dazzling row of snowy-white
teeth.

Both Ellen and Selena were stunned by his smile, especially the latter. That was the first tshe saw his smile, and she found it
mesmerizing.
Blushing, Ellen felt especially restrained before this man. She could act so naturally with him back then because she thought he
was just an employee and they were at the slevel.
Yet, now that his identity suddenly ‘upgraded’ to the Presgrave Group's president, she found herself way out of his league!
It made her feel so self-deprecated that she thought she was undeserving of his kindness.
“Regardless of my identity, you can still treatas your friend,” Jared added.
Selena thought that if she cup with them, she could find a chance to talk with him and get to know each other. However, at
that moment, she could only sit on the sideline and watch him all nice to Ellen, which was torturous.
“President Presgrave, we've met before. Do you remember me?” Selena suddenly mentioned their past
encounter.
Jared gazed at her and narrowed his eyes, asking, “Have we?”
“Yes, | cto greet you when you were at the golf range last time.”
After thinking about it, he finally remembered that incident. “Oh! My apologies, | don’t recall that event.” After saying that, he
shifted his attention back to Ellen and smiled. “But | do have a deep impression of her.”
By now, Ellen’s cheeks were hot enough to fry eggs. She was never afraid of being humiliated before anyone, but for sreason,
she was terrified of embarrassing herself before him.
“Did you guys meet on that day as well?” Selena asked in shock.
Ellen nodded and asked, “Why did you tellyour nwas Jared Tillman?”
“Tillman is my mom's last name. | told you that because | didn’t want you to know my real identity.” He laughed again as he
thought teasing Ellen was fun.
She puffed out her cheeks and accused, “And | thought you were just an employee at Presgrave Group!”
“As I've said, you can still treatas your friend. You don’t have to feel pressured because of my identity.” He
sighed.

Selena nudged Ellen. “Ellie, how could you blPresident Presgrave? He's only trying to help.”
Though her words seemed like she was blaming Ellen, she intended to sow discord between them.
Yet, Jared's hooked into a smile. “Yes, it's my fault for not telling you my identity in the first place. To compensate for it, how about |
treat you to dinner tonight?”
As soon as Ellen heard that, she shook her head. “No, | should be the one treating you!”
“That works too. You're rich now, so you can do that.” Jared was teasing her.
His reply made Ellen burst into laughter as she looked at him and asked, “Tellwhat you'd prefer. It's on
me.”
Drowning in jealousy, Selena told herself that she had to find a way to join their dinner tonight!
After exiting the president's office, Ellen returned to her workspace while Selena followed her to the lobby and grabbed her
shoulder. “Ellie, can we talk?”
Selena was way too enthusiastic today, so it stunned Ellen and made her uncomfortable. Perhaps it was because they had not
spent much ttogether since young, so she did not know much about Selena. All she knew was Selena had a cold personality
and lived a life similar to a princess at home
