Meanwhile, Ellen had a good nightâs sleep, and the following morning, Ellen knocked on Selenaâs room to wake Selena up. Finding it tough to get out of bed, Selena told Ellen she wanted to take the day off to catch up on some sleep and told Ellen to go ahead to work alone.
Ellen had no choice but to leave for work first, and she hailed a cab to work. Before she arrived at work, Ellenâs cell phone went off. She looked at the caller ID and was shocked because it was Jared on the line.
âHello, President Presgrave. Have you arrived at work?â
âWhere are you?â âIâm about to arrive.â âDonât come upstairs. Wait for me at the entrance, and Iâll bring you to get some breakfast.â
Jared hung up upon saying that and didnât give her a chance to say no. Meanwhile, Ellen felt slightly awkward. Is my job here just to keep him company for meals? This is such an easy job!
Although Ellen stood at the entrance, she chose a secluded spot in the corner because she was worried about being the topic of speculation. The gossip she had heard in the elevator yesterday frightened her.
Jared was quite eagle-eyed and spotted her, so he accelerated and drove his sports car in front of her.
She quickly yanked the door open to take a seat inside as soon as she noticed that Jared had parked the car.
Jared directed a complicated look at her with his deep eyes, and Ellen could feel him staring at her, so she blinked. âIs there something on my face?â
âNo.â Jared curved his lips slightly. This is unexpected. This girl was actually bold enough to titillate me last night, but now, sheâs putting on an innocent front. Is she aware that I was kept awake until two in the morning last night because of that? He couldnât tell why she would want to check out his abs and wondered whether she felt something for him.
Jared took the opportunity to look at the lady next to him as he looked in the rearview mirror. She had a dainty face that was quite innocent- looking, and she kept mum about her titillating actions last night.
âDid you have a good nightâs sleep last night?â He couldnât help asking. She nodded. âYes. I did.â
âHow would you rate my body?â Jared suddenly wanted her to give a rating. After all, she had seen it at no cost.
Hearing that, she blushed bright red and stared aghast at her big boss. Whatâs wrong with President Presgrave today? Why did he suddenly want me to rate his body?
âItâs great. Itâs better than a modelâs figure.â Ellen could only choose some complimentary words.
Besides, he did actually have an exceptional figure.
âSoâ¦. Do you like it?â Jared turned his head and asked. At that point, Ellen blushed bright red once again, and she replied brazenly, âEvery girl would like it.â
Whatâs wrong with President Presgrave? Ellen was quite dumbfounded deep down.
Meanwhile, Jared curved his lips into a smile. That means she actually loves it, huh? No wonder it wasnât enough for her last night, and she wanted to see more. What else does she actually want from me? There is only my face left, other than my figure. Is she hinting at something else?
âEllen, do you like me?â Jared suddenly asked.
At that point, Ellenâs mind buzzed. Did President Presgrave get dumped by someone? Why is he suddenly randomly asking someone whether they like him or not?!
âOf course, I do! Youâre my boss, so how could I possibly dislike you?â Ellen replied with a smile. âWhat if I wasnât your boss? Would you still like me?â Jared asked. Ellenâs reply was not to his liking.
She nodded once again. âYes, I would still like you.â
After Jared heard that, he kept having a feeling that she wasnât sincere and sounded perfunctory.
Shouldnât she be specific and list out what she likes about me? She wasnât ambiguous like this when she teased me last night.
Just then, they arrived at the breakfast joint, and Ellen finally got out of the car with slightly wobbly knees as soon as he parked the car. There is something wrong with President Presgrave today. Why is he acting so strange?
Ellen trudged along upstairs by trailing after the man in front of her. At the same time, she couldnât stop studying his body from top to bottom. His figure is even more perfect than al modelâs. His clothes also perfectly accentuate that!
Ellen cupped her chin with her hands after they had taken a seat and ordered their meal. Inadvertently, her eyes met his as he stared at her from across the table. Her heart raced in response. The look in President Presgraveâs eyes is strange. Why does he keep staring at me? Is there some dirt on my face?
