Chapter 1814

More importantly, if she interpreted correctly, Ellen had his private number!

Heavens! That was something she could not have asked for.

“President Presgrave, you can rest assured that I will tell my parents about this and let them do justice

for Ellie” Selena desperately wanted to get the man’s attention.

However, he merely glanced at her before looking back at Ellen. “No matter what, you can come to me if

you face any problems.”

Ellen was applying the cold compress and felt embarrassed while asking, “President Presgrave, why are

you so kind to me?”

Selena, too, was curious about this.

Jared knew that every Ellen-related thing he did was certainly something he would not usually do, but he

felt willing to do all that. That was a new revelation for him.

“Isn’t it good that someone’s nice to you?” he asked with a smile, revealing his dazzling row of snowy-

white

teeth.

Both Ellen and Selena were stunned by his smile, especially the latter. That was the first time she saw

his smile, and she found it mesmerizing.

Blushing, Ellen felt especially restrained before this man. She could act so naturally with him back then

because she thought he was just an employee and they were at the same level.

Yet, now that his identity suddenly ‘upgraded’ to the Presgrave Group’s president, she found herself way

out of his league!

It made her feel so self-deprecated that she thought she was undeserving of his kindness.

“Regardless of my identity, you can still treat me as your friend,” Jared added.

Selena thought that if she came up with them, she could find a chance to talk with him and get to know

each other. However, at that moment, she could only sit on the sideline and watch him all nice to Ellen,

which was torturous.

“President Presgrave, we’ve met before. Do you remember me?” Selena suddenly mentioned their past

encounter.

Jared gazed at her and narrowed his eyes, asking, “Have we?”

“Yes, I came to greet you when you were at the golf range last time.”

After thinking about it, he finally remembered that incident. “Oh! My apologies, I don’t recall that event.”

After saying that, he shifted his attention back to Ellen and smiled. “But I do have a deep impression of

her.”

By now, Ellen’s cheeks were hot enough to fry eggs. She was never afraid of being humiliated before

anyone, but for some reason, she was terrified of embarrassing herself before him.

“Did you guys meet on that day as well?” Selena asked in shock.

Ellen nodded and asked, “Why did you tell me your name was Jared Tillman?”

“Tillman is my mom’s last name. I told you that because I didn’t want you to know my real identity.” He

laughed again as he thought teasing Ellen was fun.

She puffed out her cheeks and accused, “And I thought you were just an employee at Presgrave Group!”

“As I’ve said, you can still treat me as your friend. You don’t have to feel pressured because of my

identity.” He

sighed.

Selena nudged Ellen. “Ellie, how could you blame President Presgrave? He’s only trying to help.”

Though her words seemed like she was blaming Ellen, she intended to sow discord between them.

Yet, Jared’s hooked into a smile. “Yes, it’s my fault for not telling you my identity in the first place. To

compensate for it, how about I treat you to dinner tonight?”

As soon as Ellen heard that, she shook her head. “No, I should be the one treating you!”

“That works too. You’re rich now, so you can do that.” Jared was teasing her.

His reply made Ellen burst into laughter as she looked at him and asked, “Tell me what you’d prefer. It’s

on

me.”

Drowning in jealousy, Selena told herself that she had to find a way to join their dinner tonight!

After exiting the president’s office, Ellen returned to her workspace while Selena followed her to the lobby

and grabbed her shoulder. “Ellie, can we talk?”

Selena was way too enthusiastic today, so it stunned Ellen and made her uncomfortable. Perhaps it was

because they had not spent much time together since young, so she did not know much about Selena.

All she knew was Selena had a cold personality and lived a life similar to a princess at home
