Sometimes, hostility might not be stemmed from someone else’s actions. It could merely be because the person’s existence accentuated the weak point of one and caused one to suffer injustice.
This new receptionist was Wendy Skeen. She had put in a lot of effort to gain a job at Presgrave Group. Though she was the most outstanding one among her peers, right now, she appeared to be the worst compared to Ellen.
Furthermore, she had just witnessed with her own eyes how Jared saved Ellen from trouble earlier, so that was a cause of annoyance for her.
Inside the office of the finance department, Selena could not seem to focus on her work. She remained in her seat with a thunderous expression and kept fussing over Ellen’s date with Jared tonight.
Perhaps the rumors about them would spread like wildfire in a couple more days. At that moment, it was hard to describe how horrible Selena felt. She was worried and fearful that Ellen would surpass her in the future.
She could not accept her cousin’s excellence or lead a better life than her because, to her, it seemed that Ellen deserved a life of impoverishment.
“Lena, do you want to join me for dinner tonight? I’ll book a restaurant for us,” one of her male colleagues invited fawningly as he walked past her.
However, Selena rejected him immediately. “I’m busy.”
At that moment, she was contemplating how to crash Ellen’s dinner date tonight. She paid no heed to my request and didn’t even care to invite me, but that doesn’t mean I can’t pop over by myself! She revealed a cold sneer. Let’s see how Ellen’s going to kick me out of the place by then!
To approach Jared, Selena had resorted to: every plot and scheme she could come up with because she wanted badly to get to know him. If only she could get hold of his phone number, she would do everything she could to win his affection.
As such, tonight’s date was critical to her, and there was no way she would miss this dinner.
Suddenly, a male colleague who was interested in Selena walked past her. She clung to his arm and revealed an affectionate face while saying. “Kenny, can I ask you for a favor? If you succeed in helping me, I’ll treat you to a meal tomorrow.”
“Sure! What is it?”
“Trail someone for me and find out which restaurant she’s heading to later,’ she requested. “That’s easy enough. Who is she?”
“She works at the reception. She’s the one seated on the furthest to the left. She’s about to leave work soon, so please hurry. Thanks!” After Selena said that, she winked at him suggestively.
The man known as Kenny instantly felt his heart flutter and agreed. After all, it was only a small matter, and he would even get the chance to have a meal with Selena, so this was undoubtedly a good deal.
As such, Kenny left work earlier and stood in the lobby staring at the reception area. It was then he was momentarily stunned by the pretty young girl on the furthest left. He did not expect the girl Selena wanted him to trail to be a beauty.
Ten minutes before work ended, Ellen received a text message from Jared. He told her that he would pick her up from the front entrance in ten minutes.
When the time came, she gathered her belongings and left work, after which Kenny. immediately followed her. He was shocked to see her walk toward a gray sports car parked by the side. This girl has found a rich prospect. The cost of obtaining this sports car is substantial!
At a glance, the sports car appeared to be an internationally limited edition. There were not many people in Averna who could afford this top-of-the-line luxury sports car.
Despite Kenny’s shock, he saw a cab parked by the side and instantly entered it before instructing the driver, “Please follow that sports car.”
The cab driver was skillful and trailed behind the sports car steadily. Twenty minutes later, the sports car turned into a junction leading to a high-end food street before parking at the entrance of a Mediterranean restaurant. Subsequently, a young man and girl came out of the car.
Kenny immediately snapped a photo of the restaurant and sent it to Selena. ‘Lena, I’ve found out what you’re after. They entered this restaurant.’
Selena was currently waiting for his reply at the entrance of the company, so as soon as she realized that he had succeeded in locating them, she sent him a love emoji. Thanks, Kenny. I’ll treat you to a meal tomorrow!”
