Chapter 1988

“Ten meals?” Ellen blinked in confusion. “Don’t worry. You can take me to a cheap restaurant. I won’t

make you go bankrupt,” replied Jared.

“It’s fine if you want that, but… won’t your girlfriend be upset about it?” asked Ellen as she bit her lip.

He must be dating that girl whom he hugged at his office! Ellen thought.

“Girlfriend?” Jared squinted his eyes and thought, When did I ever have a girlfriend?

Hearing his question, Ellen nodded her head seriously. “Which one?” Jared raised his eyebrow and

asked.

Ellen’s eyes widened when she heard his words. “How many girlfriends do you have?”

“Not much. I only have one.” As Jared spoke, he pointed at her and said, “That’s you.”

At that moment, Ellen’s mind went blank. Wait for a second. Does that mean that the woman he

hugged isn’t his girlfriend? No, I can’t let him know about this. Otherwise, he will give me a scolding! I

would rather treat him to ten meals! Thinking about it, she said, “Ten meals, right? No problem!” She

was quick to respond.

“This room is too cramped. I’m going to tell them to give you a better room,” Jared suggested, wishing

she would stay in a comfier place. “It’s fine. I think this is just perfect. Plus, it’s getting late. Why don’t

you go home and take a rest?” Ellen said. Jared pointed to her ceiling and replied, “I’m staying on the

top floor. Just call me if anything happens.”

“Okay.” Ellen nodded and didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. They had not seen each other

for more than a year! Thus, they were not as close as they used. To be.

However, Jared didn’t want to leave. At that moment, he took out his phone and took a picture of

Ellen’s trophy. After that, he took another selfie while smiling as he held the trophy. His handsome face

matched the golden trophy well!

Looking at his actions, Ellen was shocked. After all, even she was way past the age of taking cute

selfies. After taking the selfie, Jared uploaded it to his social media.

‘Guess who the owner of the trophy is? Bingo. It is my girlfriend’s, he wrote.

Just like that, he announced his relationship with Ellen. Plus, the trophy was titled the champion of this

year’s chess tournament. Hence, anyone would be able to know who the winner of the tournament was

as long as they searched for it.

“What did you post? Ellen asked in curiosity. When Jared heard her words, he immediately. closed his

phone and put it in his pocket. “Nothing. I’ll be going now. Get some rest!”

When he arrived at the door, he turned around and reminded her. ‘Don’t open the door for any men

tonight.” Ellen was speechless and thought that he was such a dominant man.

After Jared had left Ellen’s room, he breathed at sigh of relief and looked at the door.

His eyes were like a predator had its eyes on its prey. I won’t let her escape again, he thought. In the

meantime, Ellen was also relieved as she had a smile on her lips. For unknown reasons, she felt that it

was easier for her to face him, and it felt great.
