Just as Ellen arrived at the head office and was going to enter Jaredâs office, a female assistant approached her. âPlease wait for a moment, Miss Reiss. President Jared is entertaining someone.â She stopped Ellen from entering the office.
âOkayâ Ellen nodded. Then, she headed toward the washroom. Just as she entered the cubicle, she heard footsteps coming in. Two women were talking as they walked into the restroom.
âOh my god! You saw it too, right?! President Jaredâs friend is so beautiful!â âI heard that he had hugged her as soon as they saw each other. They almost kissed.â âReally?!â
âI saw it with my own eyes. That woman looked like she came from the riches. Like, OMG! I never knew President Jared had so many girlfriends!â
When Ellen heard their words, she froze. A woman in Jaredâs office? âOh! Have you seen the news about Ginovia? She had the perfect wedding, but now she is miserable.
Her husband was out drinking and flirting with other women while she raised the children and took care of him. In the end, although she had raised her three children to be outstanding, she was kicked out of the house.
Then, her husband married another woman. who had the same status as him. Arenât the tycoons complicated?â
âThatâs right! I heard she became married into Prusle Family because her father had lent at helping hand to Old Mr. Prusle. Thus, the Prusles took her in to repay Ginoviaâs father. I remembered it was shocking news! Everyone thought that she would be living in her dreams. Unfortunately, even she couldnât escape the fate of being dumped!â
âThat is why you canât choose a wealthy man as your husband. You can only think of them as your lover. After hooking up with them, take the money and leave. Sometimes, itâs better to do this than being a wealthy manâs wife.â
âYouâre right. I think Ellen might be the second Ginovia. She is beautiful when she is still young but will have nothing after she becomes old.â
âToo bad she is busy enjoying the love President Jared gave her. Hence, how will she be able to think about her future? If I were her, I would have left after taking a huge amount of money from him.â
âNo way. I would have enjoyed it for some time before leaving. After all, President Jared is eye candy!â
âYouâre right. I havenât thought about it.â The two women giggled while leaving the washroom.
After they left the restroom, Ellen walked out of the cubicle with a pale face. Then, she left the restroom and went back to the lounge. Sitting on the couch, she took out her phone and searched about the Prusle Family.
At that moment, the news about Ginoviaâs divorce was trending. The media expressed their opinions on this matter, and one of them touched Ellen. âWomen must never fall in love with a man they canât subdue. Otherwise, there will only be a bad ending, it wrote.
While looking at the news, a female assistant approached her with some desserts and placed them on the table. Before she left, she looked at Ellen pitifully and said, âYou might still need to wait for a moment, Miss Reiss. President Jared is still entertaining the guest.â
Hearing her words, Ellen nodded. However, just before the assistant could leave, Ellen took her purse and stood up. âCan you help me with something, Miss Reese?â she asked.
âYes, Miss Reiss.â âI suddenly remembered that I have some urgent business to attend to. Can you not tell him that I have been here?â she asked. Miss Reese was startled by her words, but she soon understood and nodded. âOkay, Miss Reiss.â
Then, Ellen walked toward the elevator with mixed feelings. Maybe itâs better if I leave without saying goodbye! she thought. When she left the building, she went back to Jaredâs mansion.
Since she didnât have many belongings, she quickly finished packing her things. She put everything in a big box and decided to leave. Although this was a sudden idea, she had thought it through.
Ellen wanted to leave, as she knew Jared was not a man she could be with. Although she couldnât control his life, she could control her own.
