Ellen blinked, but considering his identity, she felt he must be particular. So, she poured water into her cup and handed it to him. He held the cute-looking cup in his hand and pursed his lips. Then, he scanned her apartment and mused, This entire home has a soft, feminine vibe, almost like a pink cloud is floating through it
“There’s a barbecue restaurant that recently opened nearby. I saw that the reviews online are excellent, and I’ve already made a reservation. Let’s go there to eat later!” she suggested to him.
Jared answered promptly. “Okay! I haven’t had a barbecue in a long time, and I’m a bit hungry now.” Ellen smiled and said, “I’m sure it won’t disappoint you.”
“I’m looking forward to it,” he answered while holding her cup. When she realized it was almost 11.00AM, she said, “I’ll go change clothes first. You wait here.”
Then, she went to her room to get changed.. There were few clothes in her closet, and the ones she did have were only average quality. Due to her attractive figure and elegant temperament, even a cheap, plain white T-shirt and a pair of simple jeans looked exceptionally stylish on her.
Shortly after, she strolled out of the door, her lengthy hair hanging loose, and he blinked slightly as his eyes widened at the sight of her.
This girl looks good in any outfit. She can dazzle anyone in a luxurious evening gown or a simple white T-shirt.
“Come here. There’s something I want to talk to you about,” Jared said to Ellen. She immediately sat down beside him and blinked her clear eyes twice. “What’s the matter?”
“Do you want to learn how to drive?” he asked. However, she was stunned momentarily by his question, then thought about it for a while before saying, “Yes! Before, I lacked the financial resources, but now I lack the time.”
While many of her classmates could afford and obtain their driver’s licenses during university, she could barely cover the tuition cost, let alone anything else.
“Then, I’ll give you three months off. You can focus on getting your driver’s license,” Jared suggested to Ellen.
She was startled by his unexpected proposal. Is he giving me time off to take the driver’s license test? However, she quickly waved her hand to refuse. “No, no, I’m here to work in your company and not to have fun.”
“This is my order. As my assistant, you must learn how to drive a car,” he insisted and came up with an excuse. “Still, I can’t take three months off from work! I heard that one can get a driver’s license quickly in only one month,” she said.
Jared could not help but chuckle at Ellen’s reply. He had indeed thought that she would be unable to pass it on the first try, which was why he had given her a three-month vacation.
“Okay! In that case, you can come to work in the morning and go to the driving school in the afternoon,” he suggested and scheduled her activities. Then, she nodded and smiled, “Okay. Thank you, President Presgrave.”
Soon, he was mesmerized by her radiant smile, which seemed to outshine the sun outside the window. She looks charming and lovely, especially with her sparkling eyes and pearly white teeth. Damn, this girl is so sweet.
The more he thought about how sweet she was, the more he wanted to do something wicked to her.
As soon as that thought crossed his mind, Jared made his move. He leaned over and cupped her face, then his thin lips pressed against hers. Ellen’s mind immediately went blank as their warm breaths intertwined. She could feel a sense of closeness and romance in the air.
After a brief kiss, he withdrew and smiled at her. “Do you like it?”
At that moment, she could feel her heart pounding. So, she shyly turned her face away, and her clear eyes blinked frantically. “Do you like kissing people, President Presgrave?” she asked, feeling bothered.
He was startled by her question, then burst out laughing. “Do you think I kiss every girl I meet? So far, only you have had the privilege.”
If any other man makes this comment after we’ve locked lips, I will reprimand him. On the other hand, hearing these words from this man makes me feel highly privileged.
“We should go to lunch now, or we’ll lose our seats,” she said, trying to regain her composure in that romantic atmosphere.
Then, Jared glanced at his watch and nodded. The two walked to the shoe cabinet, and Ellen changed her shoes. She squatted to pull the heels of her white shoes up, but when she stood up, she collided with something. Moreover, she was so caught up in her thoughts that she did not notice his long leg in front of her, and her face soon bumped into his waist.
Bam! Her face immediately turned red to the roots of her ears. However, he was not hurt by the collision and simply comforted her with a low chuckle. “It’s okay?
She could not help but glance at a specific part of him, thinking, what if she had hit it and hurt him?
Soon, the two of them left, and while waiting for the elevator, Ellen was still full of dirty thoughts. So, when the elevator door opened, Jared naturally put his arm around her and walked in with her.
As they descended, they did not encounter anyone on the way out of the elevator. They then got into Jared’s car and headed straight to the nearby barbecue restaurant that was recently opened.
The barbecue restaurant was a very stylishly decorated place. She had reserved a corner table where the two could eat and chat quietly without being disturbed. However, as soon as he entered the restaurant, he became the target of all the women’s attention in the entire restaurant.
As barbecue restaurants were typically frequented by young girls, several tables were filled with girls. Suddenly, they went gaga as they stared in disbelief at the man who had walked past the aisle. My God! Is this what a domineering president looks like in reality? How did we meet such a handsome man in a barbecue restaurant? What’s more, a girl is accompanying him! We’re so envious!
When Ellen was ordering food on the phone, she handed her phone to Jared, asking him to choose. “What do you like to eat?”
“Anything is fine. You can be the one to order the meal.” Following that, he supported his cheek with one hand while gazing affectionately at her.
So, she placed an order for more dishes, after which she got up to get some condiments and mixed up some sauce for him. Soon, many girls purposely walked by their table to catch a glimpse of him, as if he were an idol. However, they did not dare to disturb him and were content to observe him nearby.
When Ellen returned with the sauces, everything was set up and ready to go on the grill.
Soon, she was chowing down as she grilled up all her favorites. She was mid-meal when she suddenly remembered that she had let her long hair down without tying it back and that it was distracting her from her meal.
After hearing her rant about her long hair for the third time, the man sitting across from her got up.
Ellen watched as Jared’s silhouette disappeared, assuming he was going to the bathroom. After that, she hastily grabbed a few grilled vegetables from the grill, and while she was munching on them, a pair of soft hands suddenly appeared from behind her and tied her hair.
Ellen was startled and turned around to see Jared behind her, who was clumsily tying her hair. As he began to tie her hair, she became red in the face and remained motionless, but her heartbeat quickened.
When he heard her rant earlier, he recalled that when he entered the restaurant, he had seen some hair ribbons outside the door intended for customers with long hair, so he went to get one.
The girls around them noticed he had left the table, but when they looked over, they saw the utterly handsome man gently tying the girl’s hair.
Wow! That’s too much for our hearts to take! Where can we find such a handsome, considerate, and gentle boyfriend?
This girl is so lucky! At that moment, Ellen was delighted by his sweet and thoughtful gesture. So, when Jared finished tying her lengthy hair, she shyly smiled and said, “Thank you.”
Meanwhile, he gazed intently at his masterpiece. Hmm! At least the ponytail isn’t crooked.
Later, she discovered that he, like her, disliked spicy foods and preferred only vegetables. So, with great satisfaction, they ate everything they had ordered.
Following their meal, Ellen skulked off to the cashier without a word for fear that Jared would offer to foot the bill.
Although Selena had an unpleasant Saturday, she finally obtained Lambert’s phone number when she went into the computer system and chatted with the staff. There, she accidentally saw the guest list and found his phone number, which she had written down.
She clung to the phone number as if holding the key to riches. Despite her elation, she was at a loss for action. Moreover, she could tell that he was more interested in Ellen than in her, so she continued to ponder how to lure him with Ellen. She believed that if she could convince Ellen to come out, Lambert would also show up.
Meanwhile, Ellen went to a driving school near her workplace for driving lessons. It was a large driving school that offered one-on-one teaching and attentive and thoughtful service.
She stayed at the driving school as Jared had left for an urgent matter. In the evening, she brought her study materials home and started to read. She fell asleep while reading, and it was already morning when she opened her eyes.
Monday had arrived, and she hurriedly got ready before heading downstairs to call a cab. When Joanna from the finance department drove by and saw Ellen, she extended a hearty invitation for them to carpool to work.
