“Oh. You haven’t had breakfast?”
“What about you?”
“Me neither. I haven’t eaten the bread I bought, answered Ellen honestly, feeling slightly awkward.
“Let’s go, then Jared beckoned her over with his finger. “Follow me downstairs.”
She trailed him into the elevator to head to the underground parking lot. Then, they departed from Presgrave Group in his cool sports car.
Compared to the rushing crowd of white collared workers, the man appeared laid back. Judging from his composed action amidst the fast-paced society, it was as if he held sway over everything.
Ellen had a hearty breakfast at the restaurant. If I work for President Presgrave any longer, I’ll unavoidably gain a few extra pounds. I don’t even feel like I’m working!
Jared enjoyed his breakfast while his gaze glued onto the girl as though it was his duty to ensure she filled her stomach. When he noticed she stopped halfway through her meal, he questioned, “Why stop?”
It was not that she could not finish it, but her stomach was filled to the brim. Furthermore, the epiphany of the importance of keeping fit just struck her. She would look different if she put on a few extra pounds!
“I-I’m trying to lose weight. I can’t have too much, Ellen replied truthfully. She could lie with a deadpan face in front of Selena, yet it seemed like she could not do the same to him.
“What weight?” Jared scanned her from head to toe, realizing that her proportion was perfect when his gaze swept across her chest
“My waist is getting plumper,” she grumbled.
“I don’t think so,” he refuted.
“It might not seem like it, but that is the truth.”
“Didn’t I hug you the day we hiked? You’re too thin to me. You should have some more” The smile on Jared’s face made him glow.
In the face of his engaging smile, Ellen blushed so hard that her heart raced. At that moment, she realized one of the benefits of working by his side. Sharing the same space with him is testing my heart’s limit. He keeps pushing the acceleration! I can’t take it anymore!
“Finish them. Don’t waste,” he cooed.
Hearing that, she found no other reason to stop eating because she was only half full.
People were jostling each other to get on the train for work, yet she spent her morning with a lovely breakfast with her boss. On top of that, she could relish in her coffee as the slanted morning sunlight crawled through the French windows, warming her up.
If this is how it feels to be working, it must be a guilty pleasure.
Suddenly, her phone rang. Realizing it was Harvey, she turned on the silent mode and put it aside.
“Why aren’t you picking up?”
“It’s that guy again. I don’t feel like talking to him.”
Yet, Jared reached out for her phone to answer the call, “Hello”
“Hey, isn’t this Ellen’s number? Who are you?” Harvey was surprised
“Yes, it is. I’m her boyfriend. Who are you?” Jared interrogated coldly.
“I–I’m her friend. Harvey stuttered.
“I don’t care who you are, but leave Ellen alone,” warned Jared before ending the call.
His actions confounded Ellen as her expression went blank for a couple of moments, but she was thankful for his help nevertheless.
He placed her phone in front of her “Let’s go elsewhere.”
“Where?”
His silence was the only response she received. After that, he drove his sports car to a smartphone store to purchase her a new phone. Ellen also thought it was time to change a new one, but the man had swiped his card before she could foot the bill.
“President Presgrave, y-you don’t have to do that. I can afford it. She tried to stop him.
“Think of it as a gift from me.” He smiled, taking pleasure in buying her stuff.
“I wouldn’t feel at ease.” Ellen blushed bright red. He treated her so kindly, but she had nothing to repay him.
“You don’t have to feel bad about it. I’m always happy to help Jared’s smile was dazzling.
Ellen blushed once again under his beaming smile. She realized she would feel quite guilty if someone treated her too nicely.
“President Presgrave, I would like to buy you a present. What do you think would be a suitable present?” Ellen asked
“Just show me a smile, Jared replied.
Ellen was initially quite shocked before pursing her lips and saying, I’m being serious.”
“I’m also being serious here!” Jared enjoyed teasing her and seeing her face turn bright red. She looked adorable
Ellen was tickled by that and burst into laughter as she smiled at him.
Ellen was wearing a white shirt which gave her a slightly charming air She looked like a budding flower about to bloom in the wee hours of the morning, she appeared to be concealing her shyness and coyness within.
To Jared, her smile felt like a gift to him and made him feel quite joyful
Jared accepted her smile as repayment. After looking at his wristwatch for the time, he said, “Come on. Come along with me to the company for a meeting.”
Both of them had just walked out of the phone shop when a pedestrian suddenly rushed toward them and nearly bumped into Ellen. Ellen had barely reacted when she felt a strong arm grab her around her waist, and then there was a tug at her waist. At that point, Ellen fell into a man’s firm chest. Her chest bounced against his body.
A slightly pleasant scent hit Jared’s nostrils, and he lowered his head to look at the girl in his arms. Her body scent caused his body to tighten, and for a moment, he felt a sensation rush at him on this pleasant morning.
Jared’s handsome face flushed for a few seconds, and he didn’t expect that he would develop such thoughts toward Ellen.
As he drove toward the airport, Jared’s eyes flickered slightly. The reaction he had from this morning caused some slight turmoil in him. He had helped Ellen so much purely because she needed help, and he didn’t approach her with any underlying motives
After they arrived at the company, Ellen went back to her office. Jared requested her to make him a cup of coffee and send it to his office at ten thirty.
