“My name is Jared Tillman.”
Ellen flashed him a brilliant smile. “Hi, nice to meet you.”
He was slightly taken aback by her grin and felt a little sense of familiarity with this girl in his chest. Despite this being only the second time that they had met, she made his heart beat slightly out of pace like she was someone he had known for a long time.
“Nice to meet you,” he greeted in return.
Only then did she remember that she wanted to go to the twelfth floor and hurriedly pressed the button. She smiled at the hunk next to her awkwardly as her face inexplicably turned crimson.
Gosh, this man is gorgeous!
He was the most good-looking of all the men she had met since she was young.
From him, she could feel a very comfortable and assuring presence that was gentle and strong at the same time. Since he’s working here, will I get to see him all the time after this? Jared Tillman… That’s a lovely name!
Ding!
They reached the twelfth floor, and she gave him another smile. “I’ve arrived.
See you!”
“Bye.” He stuffed one hand into his trousers pocket and nodded at her slightly.
Yet, when the elevator doors closed, Ellen’s bright smile still remained in his mind.
He could feel his heart was still racing, so he reached out and pressed his chest gently with his palm. Only then did his heartbeat gradually return to normal.
What’s happening? he asked himself in bewilderment.
After Ellen dropped off the document and wanted to press the elevator button again, she pressed the button for the elevator that she had arrived in. A kindhearted staff reminded her politely, “Miss, you can’t use that elevator.”
“Why?”
“Don’t you know that that’s our president’s private elevator? It’s not for other employees to use.”
“Oh, really?” She was surprised as she thought, But I just used it earlier and ran into another guy inside!
“Thank you,” she said to the female employee and didn’t dare to push the button again.
At the finance department, Selena had a few male colleagues around her, taking turns to guide her. She was doing exceedingly well, especially with her pretty face. As long as she flirted a little, a guy would help her finish her job.
Then, she heard that an assistant had a document that needed to be sent to the president’s office and immediately scurried over to intercept the task, “Laura, let me run this errand for you! I can use this chance to familiarize myself with the company.”
Laura was more than delighted. “Sure, go ahead!” Selena left the department with the document in her hands, and the only thought on her mind was the possibility of meeting the company president later when she went upstairs. She was filled with hope and anticipation as she stepped into the elevator, which shot up to the fifty-eighth floor directly.
Her heart galloped madly against her chest, and finally, the elevator stopped with a ding, and she felt that the entire floor was shrouded in a solemn air, as though she shouldn’t do as she wished here.
A few steps later, a female assistant approached and asked her, “Are you here to deliver a document?”
“Yes, I am.” “Just pass it to me.” The assistant took the document from her, and she quickly asked, “Miss, do you have a washroom here? I really need to go now.”
“Over there,” the lady answered, pointing somewhere.
She thanked her and strolled toward the washroom, watching the entire floor intently during her brief tour. After she used the restroom, she pretended to have lost her way and saw a huge, golden door with the word ‘President’s Office’
written over it.
Her heart skipped a beat almost immediately. Oh, how she wished to meet the president here, even if it was just a glance from a distance!
Unfortunately, Lady Luck wasn’t on her side. That door didn’t even budge even though she waited for more than ten minutes, and she could only leave in disappointment because if she hung around any longer, people would be suspicious of her motive.
When it was time to clock off, she stole a glance at the reception once again.
Ellen was still there, placing her in a really foul mood. Dressed in the dark blue uniform assigned to the reception desk, Ellen had transformed from a poor little girl into an elegant white-collar worker.
She was like an ugly duckling who had turned into a white swan.
To Selena, this was very frustrating because, in her opinion, Ellen should always live in her shadows and not have the chance to do well in life.
Everyone had already left for home. Nevertheless, Ellen decided to stay behind to work overtime. She didn’t stay because of the extra hour fees, but she needed the computer in the company to finish her work.
Soon, she was the only one left at the reception in the lobby. She was so engrossed in finishing the document that she didn’t even notice that her surroundings were as dead as a graveyard.
Just then, a graceful and charming figure walked out of the elevator. Tall and well-built, the man recalled something after he stepped out, turned to look at the reception, and suddenly saw that girl named Ellen.
She was the only one still working behind the reception counter. Jared contemplated for a moment before he started walking toward the counter.
Meanwhile, Ellen had her head buried in work until she heard the sounds of footsteps approaching her. So, she hastily raised her head to greet them. When she saw someone she knew, she immediately smiled at that gorgeous face. “Mr.
Tillman, are you just heading home?”
“Why haven’t you finished work yet?”
“That’s because I was recently employed and still familiarizing myself with the work here. So, I’m returning to work a little more,” she said with a smile.
Suddenly, Jared remembered that the two girls from the family that Mr. Caine was taking care of, one of them had joined the finance department while the other was working at the reception. Could she be the latter?
“When did you start working here?”
She blinked and promptly answered, “Two days ago!”
That’s probably her, he thought. What a coincidence that she’s the relative of that boy that donated his heart.
“You should head home! It’s late.”
“Okay, I was about to leave soon anyway,” she said, keeping away her document and looking like she was planning to leave.
When Jared checked the time on his watch, he suddenly offered, “I’ll drop you home.”
