Jason Turner soon became disappointed and even slightly enraged. “Dad, didn’t you claim that you have a very close relationship with the Presgraves? Didn’t you promise to help me get a promotion? You must keep your word!”
“I’m doing everything I can for you! Easy. Let me handle it. When was the last time I let you down?” Gavin patted his son’s shoulder. Since his son had grown up in a single-parent household, Gavin was everything to him, which was why he handled all his son’s affairs well.
Now that Jason was still a manager of a small department in the Presgrave Group, he wished that he could inherit his father’s position to feel elated and proud of himself..
Consequently, he was soon overjoyed. “Okay, Dad, I’ll leave it to you. When I’m in your post, those who looked down on me won’t be able to laugh at me again.”
“Expect good news!” Gavin nodded. He would never fail his son. After the meeting that lasted for an afternoon, Jared left the conference room to walk to his room quickly.
“President Presgrave, about tonight’s social gathering-” “Just reject it,” he answered without even turning around.
Stanley inevitably smiled helplessly. I’m afraid there’s nothing else he cares about except Miss Reiss. Ellen enjoyed her quiet alone time. She dozed off, however, while reading a book on the sofa in front of the French window.
Jared was taken aback when he opened the door and entered the room. He noticed the setting sun shining on the sofa and Ellen was sound asleep with a book on her face. He squatted and gently removed the book to reveal Ellen’s adorable and sweet face. Her slightly apart rosy lips were appealing, so he kneeled to steal a kiss and did so repeatedly until she awoke from his kisses.
Finally, she opened her doe eyes, which were slightly glassy from the sleep. When she saw him, she smiled. “Is the meeting over?” Her long hair was draped behind her head as she sat up.
Anyone would wish to adore and pamper her forever because she resembled a fairy with a gentle and natural temperament. “Yes, it’s over. Come. I’ll take you to dinner.”
“Okay!” She nodded.
“Let’s go back to my mansion tonight. It’s the weekend tomorrow. Let’s sleep in.” He touched her nose briefly, and she soon blushed. She no longer felt shy around him.
That night, they had a candlelight dinner. He had taken her to various high-end restaurants in Averna to enjoy different dishes from countries all over the world. Regardless, she found herself the happiest eating with her loved one, and it did not matter how tasty the food was.
Jared drove her to his mansion at around 9.00PM. His bodyguards were clearing the way for them. Suddenly, something happened that caused the bodyguards to slam the brakes.
The other bodyguards at the rear had also consequently braked, which then led Jared to follow suit. As a result, Ellen was caught off. guard and bumped her head on the dashboard.
“Are you okay? Does it hurt?” Jared rubbed the spot where she hurt herself, and he was enraged. He wondered what happened in front of them.
“I’m fine.” Ellen shook her head. Although it was slightly painful, something seemed to have happened in front of them. “What’s the matter?”
He asked her to stay in the car before he alighted from the vehicle and noticed that all of his bodyguards had gotten out as well. A figure quickly dashed toward him and screamed, “President Presgrave, it’s me!”
“Mr. Turner? He knitted his brows in slight shock. “Mr. Presgrave, this person rushed out of nowhere and blocked the way, so we had to brake. Are you hurt?”
Jared was fine, but Ellen hurt her head. Nevertheless, he was still frustrated. “Mr. Turner, what do you want?”
“I’d like to meet with you privately to talk.” Gavin did not give it much thought. He could not see Jared in the company, so he wanted a private meeting with him. Thus, he acted rashly and blocked the car.
