Jared had no choice but to take out his phone and retrieve last night’s chat history to show her. “Refresh your memory.”
She couldn’t help but reach out for his cell phone to take a look. Her pretty eyes widened, and her mouth was agape when she saw their chat history last night. When did I talk about this with him last night? HI actually requested that he take a photo to show me too?! As she looked at the photo of him revealing his abs, she couldn’t help but take another look.
Subsequently, Ellen took out her cell phone to check their chat history from her end, but she saw nothing at all. She couldn’t help recalling that last night, during that period, she had gone to warm some milk for Selena. Maybe Selena chatted with him using my phone?
That must be it! Ellen was mortified and angered inside. “How could she do something like that?! She conveniently took my phone and chatted about such an intimate topic with President Presgrave! How am I supposed to end this? Ellen always behaved respectably, but looking at last night’s chat history, the things she said made her seem so lustful.
Do I really have to tell him that the things yesterday were sent by Selena? It would make the situation even awkward! In the end, Ellen had no choice but to take the rap for everything.
“Oh! Yesterday I-I drank some alcohol, so I was a little wasted. President Presgrave, please don’t be mad at me. That were just some random things I said. Please don’t take them to heart.” Ellen could only conjure up a random excuse.
Meanwhile, Jared narrowed his eyes slightly. “Why did you drink alcohol so late at night?”
“Well, I-I found it hard to go to sleep, so I drank a tiny glass,” Ellen said with a bright-red face before looking at him awkwardly. “I’m not secretly interested in you, alright?”
After Jarod heard her explanation, his expression turned darker than before. She is not interested in me but purely enjoys checking out my body, huh?
“Don’t drink alcohol unnecessarily next time, and don’t send such titillating stuff to anyone else randomly!”
Jared instructed her domineeringly.
Ellen immediately nodded in response. She promised meekly, “I promise I won’t.”
Jared was significantly vexed. After all that, she isn’t interested in me at all? It was just her rambling in a drunken state!
Meanwhile, she was also quite frustrated deep inside. Using my phone to chat with Jared and then deleting the chat history?! This has crossed the line!
She had agreed to allow Selena to stay with her, but that didn’t mean Selena was allowed to breach her privacy in this way.
“President Presgrave, I’m sorry if I have offended you. Please forgive me,” Ellen apologized because she found that her actions were truly affrontive
“That’s alright.” Jared lifted his brows and glanced at her. Actually, I enjoy being affronted like this.
After breakfast, Jared returned to the company with her for a meeting.
As for Selena, she finally got out of bed. After rummaging in the kitchen for food for quite some time but to no avail, Selena went downstairs to grab a bite. She opened the door and waited for the elevator with her bag in her hand. Soon, the elevator arrived. Ping! Selena was startled when the elevator doors opened.
It was because the person standing in front of Selena was her male manager.
“Mr. Rhodes, do you live here?” Selena asked in surprise
Jeffrey glanced at her and said, ‘Yes, I live here.”
Selena entered the elevator awkwardly. Subsequently, Jeffrey asked, ‘Do you live here as well?”
“M-My cousin lives here.” Selena was slightly nervous as she replied.
“What position does your cousin hold in the company?”
“S-She works at the level of the president’s office.”
“Oh! That makes sense then.”
The elevator stopped at two levels below them, and two people entered the elevator. They greeted Jeffrey warmly. “Hi, Mr. Rhodes.”
At that point, Selena was shocked to discover that everyone knew each other. Furthermore, she faintly remembered that one of them was the director of the Finance Department.
“Why does everyone live here? This is such a coincidence,” Selena interrupted.
“This is the residential area provided by the company for the management-level staff, so that’s why we all live here!” the female director mentioned.
Selena couldn’t contain her shock and quickly asked, “Are the houses here available for rent for the public?”
“This is a residential area developed by our company, so none of the properties has ever been rented out to the public. Those who are eligible to stay here hold at least a managerial position in the company. Which department do you work in?” The female director couldn’t contain her curiosity and asked.
At that point, Ellen was mortified. She had no other option but to say, “I-I work under Mr. Rhodes.”
“Her cousin lives here,” Jeffrey quickly explained, just in case they misunderstood that something was going on between him and his female subordinate
“Which department does your cousin work in?”
“She works at the president’s office.”
Quite impressed, the female director instantly replied, “Your cousin’s very capable to get a job by the president’s side at such a young age.”
Selena exited the elevator, significantly dumbstruck. So, Ellen actually lied to me! This isn’t a place she rented at all! She was granted this accommodation for free by the company! How on earth did Ellen get this perk? The location and amenities of this residential area are way more luxurious and better than my area! Ugh, how could she lie to me?
Selena was angered beyond words and reached out for her phone to give Ellen a call.
Ellen was coincidentally free at the moment, and upon seeing the call from Selena, she answered it angrily, “Ellen speaking!”
“Ellen, how could you lie to me! The house you’re staying at right now isn’t a rental property at all! It’s a luxury apartment provided by the company!”
Stunned, Ellen didn’t expect Selena to have found out, but Ellen admitted frankly, “Yes, it is provided by the company.”
“So why did you lie to me? I’m your cousin!
“Yeah. Are you still in my house?”
“Yes, of course!”
“Please gather your belonging right now and move out of my home. You’re no longer welcome to stay.”
“What did you just say?”
“Last night, you secretly used my phone and sent some flirty messages to President Presgrave. Don’t assume I’m unaware of things! Ellen furiously exposed Selena’s misdeed.
Selena was taken aback by that. She didn’t expect Ellen to find out, so she ended up saying, “It wasn’t intentional. Your phone was by my side, so I randomly replied to a few messages. I was worried that you would tell me off, so I deleted the messages.
