He’s so handsome. At that point, Jared was still holding Ellen’s hand. She finally noticed it and quickly withdrew her wrist, looking at him. “Seriously, are you the president of this company?”
He no longer hid his identity and nodded. “Yes. I’m Jared Presgrave, the current president of Presgrave Group.”
When Ellen heard that, her eyes widened as she stared at him in shock. Heavens! The man who helped me is not an employee here but the president! Who am I to deserve his help?
Standing beside them, Selena felt relieved. So, President Presgrave is only pretending to be her boyfriend. If that’s the case, does that mean I still have a chance?
“President Presgrave, thank you so much.” She thanked him as though she had also received his help.
“You’re welcome.” After Jared said that, he looked at the palm print on Ellie’s face, and a trace of distress flashed across his eyes. “Do you want to go to the hospital and get your face checked out?”
“No need. It’s fine,” “Why don’t you come to my office and apply some ice?” he offered.
Ellen considered rejecting the offer, but Selena beat her to it and answered, “Sure. Thank you, President Presgrave. I’ll accompany Ellie there and help her with it.”
When Ellen heard that, she gazed at Selena in shock. When did she become so enthusiastic? However, she soon noticed something suspicious-Selena’s gaze was filled with admiration for him.
“Let’s go, then!” Jared was still worried that the swelling on Ellen’s face might not subside, so he led her to his office. She did not want to trouble him and could not help but follow because Selena had dragged her along.
At the company’s entrance, the Andino siblings were sitting on the steps, complaining about what had transpired. “When did Ellen get to know the Presgrave Group’s president?”
“He’s her boyfriend! Now, we won’t be able to get the money.”
“What’s there to be afraid of? If Ellen refuses to give us the money, we’ll keep bugging her and make her life miserable.” Garrett was used to .being outrageous. Also, he had recently gone gambling and desperately needed money to pay off his debt, so he would not give up on this shortcut to obtain money.
It was Ellen and Selena’s first time visiting the president’s office, so they were astonished by the squeaky-clean floor, extravagant corridor, and the clouds outside the window.
Meanwhile, Selena’s gaze was glued onto Jared’s elegant back. Looking at that man was already an enjoyable experience and talking to him was a huge privilege. Before, she would not even dare to imagine things like marrying him and living the rest of her life with him, but now, she did.
Not only that, she wanted to realize her wish. She would exercise all efforts to pursue, obtain, and become his wife. Since her tight grip on Ellen’s arm hurt, Ellen whispered, “Selena, I can walk on my own.”
Selena was tired of holding her anyway, so she let go of her before leaning toward her and asking, “When did you know Young Master Jared?”
“A few days ago,” Ellen replied. How lucky. She knew him at the company and even got him to stand up for her!
After entering the president’s office, the two cousins sat on the couch, where Ellen sat restrainedly. Then, Jared’s assistant came over with an ice pack, and Selena immediately took it and offered, “Let me do it.”
Ellen did not dare to let her arrogant cousin do such a task for her, so she retrieved the ice pack and insisted, “I’ll do it myself.”
Later, the assistant brought over some coffee with desserts and fruits. Jared’s long figure was sitting before them, and his every move permeated with a noble and elegant aura.
“You can call me if they come to you again. I’ll let the lawyers handle the situation. His gaze landed on Ellen’s figure.
Selena glanced at him and noticed his glistening eyes that gently settled on Ellen. At that moment, she felt jealousy burning within. her.
