Filed to story: Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel
She used to brag in front of her friends that her family was all wealthy, so it did not make sense that she had a relative who worked as a janitor!
Just then, one of the girls covered her mouth and exclaimed, “Oh my! Look at that man! He’s so handsome!”
The backs of two men were facing them, and the younger one resembled a prince under the morning light.
His thick raven hair was brushed backward, revealing a flawless face and sharp features. He had thick brows, a sharp nose, and beautiful lips. His overall temperament was elegant and charming.
Although they were nearly 30 feet away from him, all of them were in awe of the man’s good looks. Even Selena could feel her heart racing. Whether it was his temperament, figure, or his face, he was her ideal type.
“I wanna know him! Which family does he belong to?”
“I don’t think I have seen him before, but I can tell that he’s extremely well off.”
“He must belong to a higher class than us! How great would it be to know him? Why don’t we ask for his phone number?” one of the girls suggested.
“Then let’s decide with a game!” The four girls were here to take pictures of the scenery so that they could upload them online and maintain their perfect rich girl setup.
Eventually, Selena lost the game. She took a deep breath, and with eyes filled with ambition and desire, she mused, If I get his number, I won’t share it with anyone else!
“I’m going over now,” she declared while combing her hair with her digits and checking her outfit. Once she was content with her preparations, she walked up to the two men.
Beside the young man stood a middle-aged man. The duo was playing golf while chatting away. When Selena approached them, she heard the middle-aged man respectfully addressing the young man, “Sir, it’s getting late. Shall we head back?”
“Sure. Let’s leave in a few minutes.” The man’s voice was crisp and clear, carrying a hint of masculine charm. After he swung the golf club, Selena approached him. The middle-aged man turned to look at her and asked, “Is something the matter, miss?”
“Well, my friends and I… made a bet. Whoever can get this young man’s number will win the game. May I ask… if you are willing to help me out, sir? Can I get your contact number, please?” As Selena raised her head, she realized that the man had such a stunning face that she dared not look him in the eye. If she did so, her heart might beat even faster, and she might even risk stuttering in her speech.
Before the young man could reply, however, the middle-aged man rejected her request. “Sorry, miss. We cannot allow just anyone to have his phone number.”
Selena couldn’t help taking the opportunity to look at him and noticed that the collar of his white shirt was unbuttoned, and the cuffs of his shirt were rolled up to the middle of the arms, which revealed his fair and delicate skin. He had a pair of gleaming deep-set eyes, a sharp nose, and sexy lips. When all of those aspects were combined in one frame, he looked as perfect as a sculpture.
Without backing down, she boldly asked the man, “Sir, please. Please help me out!”
In response, the man took a glimpse at her and replied indifferently, “Sorry, I can’t.”
Even his voice is charming!
Though she was extremely disappointed by his response, she dared not act presumptuously anymore. She stared at the man greedily for a few seconds before turning around to leave.
“Let’s go, sir!” the middle-aged man initiated.
When Selena returned to her friends, she had to disappoint them by telling them that she couldn’t get his number, so the girls became depressed as well. They just missed out on getting to know a handsome man!
But Selena was even more disappointed because she had admired the man up close. The feeling she had for him had intensified after their brief exchange.
He honestly looked straight out of a comic!
Ellen, on the other hand, had been picking up garbage for some time and had to drag an extremely heavy bag of garbage on the road. A buggy stopped in front of her as she struggled to drag it, and a deep male voice asked, “Need help?”
She turned her head abruptly before widening her eyes. She felt dizzy as if being shone by the sun.
Except that it was not the sun, but a man’s face.
“N-No, thank you! I can do it by myself.” Ellen did not expect a handsome man would have such a kind heart.
“Let us give you a ride, miss! You’re working too hard.” After saying that, the middle-aged man got off the vehicle and helped her carry the garbage bag onto the buggy. Seeing that, Ellen thanked them with a flushed face.
“Don’t worry about it.” The young man smiled as he started scanning her before asking curiously, “Why are you working as a janitor here at such a young age?”
“This is not actually my job. The daughter of my grandma’s friend works here, but she fell sick, so I came over to take over her job for a few days.” After Ellen finished speaking, she wrung her hands nervously. She felt uneasy by the man’s stare.
Involuntarily, her face turned scarlet. She would rather drag that bag of garbage alone than be scrutinized under the gaze of such a handsome man!
She felt embarrassed.
When they arrived at the parking spot, the middle-aged man even carried the garbage bag down for her, but when she intended to thank them for their kind act, she realized that the young man had walked away with his elegant back facing her.
It made her stare blankly for a while, and when she came back to her senses, she felt quite puzzled but deep inside, she felt touched by their kindness.
After ending her job, she changed into a casual outfit and left the golf club. Since buses did not stop nearby, she had to walk about 20 minutes to the nearest bus stop. While strolling on the road, she hummed a tune and enjoyed the scenery, feeling carefree.
Right then, a Bentley drove up from behind her. Selena was in the driver’s seat. Her eyes glinted with hatred when she saw Ellen. Why does she have to be around all the time? Selena pressed down on the gas pedal and sped forward. She was afraid that Ellen would see her driving the car—that would make her seem like she was a heartless person. Selena didn’t want to pick Ellen up—she felt embarrassed to show her friends that she had a relative as poor as Ellen.
“Selena, did you say that your father’s going to send you to work at Presgrave Group? Is that true?” Selena’s friend asked. “Yeah. My father’s looking for connections,” Selena replied.
“Can you help me to get into the company too?!” Selena shook her head. “His friend can only help me to get a job there.” “You don’t even need a job! You can do any other job since your family’s so well off,” her friend commented.
“What do you know? I’m here to hunt for my future partner! I heard that tons of talented figures earn millions a year in that company! They’re way better than the regular person! They’re smart and rich… It’d be a plus if they are also handsome.” The group of girls chuckled among themselves—they were all picturing their ideal romantic encounters.
However, Selena was already hooked on the young man she had seen at the golf club earlier. That was the man she wanted to get married to. I wish I could find a way to get to know him!
Ellen walked for nearly 20 minutes to get to the bus stop. It was late at night, and she felt rather sorry for herself as she stood alone at an empty bus stop. When the bus finally arrived, she got on the bus and leaned her head against the window as she felt the air-conditioning against her face. She felt like a speck of dust in the universe as she looked at the bustling city outside the window. Oftentimes, she felt unworthy of being in this city. Those tall buildings and those brightly lit condominiums… I wonder what sort of people live there.
I know I’m in the lowest class among all these people. Even though I graduated from university, finding a job is simply too hard. It’s practically impossible to find a good job without having some connections. Ellen had gotten into a decent company once, but the manager kept harassing her. In the end, she had to quit her job because she was too afraid of him. She didn’t have the guts to tell anyone else about this matter because she knew that no one was going to support her even if she told them about it. She didn’t dare to tell her grandmother about it either—she was worried that she would make her grandmother worry and cause her grandmother’s health to deteriorate.
So, Ellen was like a lone kitten that was terrified yet curious about the rest of the world around her. She couldn’t help but recall her brother sometimes. Her brother was the only person who had ever risked his life to protect her. From what she could remember, her brother was both bold and warm. Whenever he had good food, he made sure to share it with her; whenever he had nice toys, he would give them to her as well. However, her loving brother had left her all alone.
When Ellen finally got home, she was greeted with her grandmother’s warm meal. Even though it was nothing special, she felt her insides warming up as she ate the meal.
Meanwhile, in the Fraser household, Selena told her mother all about how she had bumped into Ellen at the golf club. “She was so disgusting. I nearly got embarrassed in front of my friends because of her,” Selena complained.
“Alright. The next time this happens, you should just pretend not to know her. She can’t blame you for it.” Olivia had a beauty face mask that cost 1000 on her face, and she was enjoying herself while lying on the couch.
“Of course. I wouldn’t make eye contact with her even if I saw her on the streets. She totally embarrassed our family.” Selena had a resentful look on her face as she spoke.
“You should stay away from her. You don’t want her bad luck to rub off on you,” Olivia reminded her daughter. The truth was that she didn’t want her daughter to get close to Ellen as she was afraid that Ellen would start pestering their family someday. If they showed enough hostility toward Ellen, then Ellen wouldn’t have the guts to get too close to them.
“I know!” Selena nodded. “Mom, I have a question! How did we get so rich? Some people’s families have a company that they’re waiting to inherit. Do we have a company too?”
