“No wonder you have the touch. Thanks” said the assistant who left thereafter.
Ellen had the luxury of time serving the employees here. To work in the presidential office, one had to be the best of the best, their jurisdictions revolved around the incoming reports from all around the world.
When it was time to get off work, she was uncertain whether to leave, so she decided to stay temporarily. It was then that a figure appeared by the door before resting himself against the door frame. “It’s time to go home”
“President Presgrave, is there anything that I can help you with?” She stood up at the drop of a hat.
“There is. Come with me for dinner.” Jared often had dinner alone, so he would not mind the extra company.
Is this also my job? A curious Ellen blinked her eyes. “Is this one of my tasks?”
“Yes.” He reassured her.
“Okay. Let’s go.” She nodded with red cheeks.
Together, they headed to the underground parking lot and that private restaurant Jared frequented. The kitchen served different menus every day, and enticing dishes were on today’s menu. Every dish was meticulously concocted, and the chefs prioritized taste and nutrition over quantity. So, Jared ordered six from them.
As though it was a gustatory feast, the dishes were served in ones and twos while he recounted their background stories. For instance, the fish’s origin and the type of shrimp used for today’s dish. Ellen pricked her ears at his broad insight.
Despite the little age gap between them, his knowledge knew no bounds. She was deeply impressed by the fact that he knew everything from A to Z
Youngsters nowadays were relatively untrammeled, hence the mindlessness to study and desire to enjoy life with little money in hand. However, this man possessed not only an abundance of wealth but also knowledge. His nature itself was more charming than his handsome looks
“President Presgrave, may I read when I don’t have incoming work? Ellen requested on the account that daydreaming was simply an act of wasting time.
“Sure. You can do whatever you fancy Jared nodded because he did not transfer her to his jurisdiction to make her work in the first place. His sole wish was to protect her and that smile on her face.
Feeling touched, she felt her eyes getting watery. No one had ever treated her so well ever since Jessica passed away Just how lucky am I to meet such a capable gentleman? How can I repay his kindness? I don’t think I have anything to repay him.
At that moment, her phone rang upon receiving a call from Selena. She rose from a seat and said, “Excuse me, President Presgrave.”
She went to the garden and answered the call, after which Selena’s voice resounded. “Ellie, where do you live? I’ve packed up my stuff and am on my way to your place.”
“I’m out, Selena. Why don’t you have dinner on your own first?”
“Who are you with? Selena questioned curiously.
“A-A friend of mine.”
“Who? Don’t tell me it’s President Presgrave.” Selena guessed.
Nothing can ever escape her grasp. Ellen let out a silent sigh. “Yeah. I’m still working.”
“Okay. Just inform me when you’re home,” said Selena.
“Sure.” Ellen ended the call and returned to the restaurant.
Jared was grilling a piece of beef for her. Now that she was back, he placed it on her plate. “I’ve grilled it. Have a try.”
Elated by the pleasant surprise, Ellen took a small bite of the meat. Its smooth yet juicy texture elicited a smile on her face. “It’s delicious.”
The duo enjoyed their dinner until 8.00PM, after which Jared gave her a ride back home. She alighted from the car and waved at him. “Be careful on your way back.”
He blinked at her as an acknowledgment. The control panel exuded faint blue light, which shrouded him in a glowing sheen with a touch of sophisticated grace.
Only when he left the place that she finally sent her address to Selena, who would arrive soon. Ellen wandered outside the neighborhood to buy some necessities. By the time Selena’s car halted at the entrance, Ellen happened to be there with a bag of daily necessities.
“You live here?” Selena scanned the area in disbelief because she was aware no ordinary people would be able to afford a house there. Never had she imagined that Ellen would be this rich after Jessica’s house was demolished.
“Yup, for the time being.” Ellen reciprocated.
Selena carried her luggage into the neighborhood when Ellen became curious about something. “Where are Uncle Connor and Aunt Olivia going? Is it something important?”
“Dad’s friend passed away, so they’ll be helping with the funeral for the next few days. I’m scared” Selena made up an excuse for herself. Since she had set her heart to approach Jared by leveraging Ellen, she put down her egoism
On the other hand, Ellen bought her lies without a shadow of a doubt since she did not know her family that well
When they arrived at the door to Ellen’s place, Selena wondered if the rental house comprised only one bedroom. However, her eyes widened in astonishment the second Ellen opened the door. She lives here? It’s huge and luxurious! And how is this a one-bedroom house? It stretches more than two hundred square feet!
“Ellen, how much is the monthly rent? The question escaped Selena almost instantly.
Ellen recalled the conversation she shared with Joanna, who told her not to reveal that employee welfare included accommodations, so she glossed it over. “About five thousand.”
Selena deemed it impossible. “No way. That cheap?”
“The owner was in a hurry to leave the country. That’s why, Ellen elucidated.
Selena stopped prying further on the notion that it was better to stay in such a place than a one- bedroom apartment. After her shower, she entered Ellen’s room on her own accord. She became salty at Ellen, who was donned in a thin nightgown.
She appeared slim, but she had the curves that one desired, her body proportion was the epitome of perfection. Her slick tress fell over her shoulders, covering her angelic features and smooth skin.
“Ellie, I can’t sleep. Let’s have a girls talk!” Selena planned on digging into Jared because girls tend to be more sentimental at night. They naturally spilled secrets when they lowered their guard.
“Ellie, do you meet President Presgrave every day? There went her first question.
Ellen thought for a moment. “Almost. I’m in charge of making him coffee.”
Selena did not look down upon that job, for she desired to take over that position. Too bad, she was not offered the chance. “Ellie, tell me more about him! I’d love to hear ’em.”
It was not like Ellen could not see through her intentions. Thus, an idea sprouted in her mind as she nodded. “Sure There’s this one beautiful lady he knows”
“What? A beautiful lady?
“Yeah! She’s really pretty and seemed to be from a rich family. They’re quite close. I think they’re going out.”
Selena blurted, “He’s taken?”
“Who said he was single? Of course, he has one.” Ellen put on a serious face while making up a story, hoping it would stop Selena from bothering Jared.
