âYes, and Iâve just got back from there! I went to teach Ellen a lesson for causing your dismissal.â Olivia did not think that she was in the wrong. To her, she was merely seeking justice for her daughter.
âThis has caused quite a stir in the office, Mom. Everyone is talking about it!â âGreat! Itâs entirely my intention to smear Ellenâs reputation.â
âI heard that President Presgrave even appeared in the end. Did he do anything to you, Mom?â/ âWhat can he do to me? This Young Master Jared would have died more than ten years ago if we hadnât signed the papers back then! That jerk is so ungrateful.â Olivia was still enraged by what Jared had done.
âMom, donât ever let Ellen know what happened to Kevin back then. Iâm concerned that sheâll demand compensation from you,â Selena reminded Olivia.
That made Oliviaâs heart palpitate for at moment. Recalling that she had not mentioned it today, she quickly said, âDonât worry. Sheâll never find out. Her brother has been buried for a long time.â
âThatâs good. Iâm only worried about this. By the way, what has Dad been up to lately? Keep at close eye on him. Arenât you concerned that he has a mistress outside since he isnât at home every day?â
Olivia merely let out a sneer at that. âHe wouldnât dare. If he really did so, Iâll kill him.â
Selena was at a loss for words. Olivia had been a strong and obstinate woman her entire life, but she couldnât stop Connor from having a mistress, and even an illegitimate child, outside their family.
âNo matter what, Mom, keep an eye on Dad. I noticed he has two mobile phones.â Selena hoped Olivia would discover the truth on her own for Connor to return to the family and cut all ties with his mistress outside.
âIs he carrying two phones? I had no idea about that!â Olivia was completely in the dark. âYes. I previously saw it by chance,â Selena responded. âOkay, Iâll keep an eye on him. Where are you?â
âI will be staying at a friendâs place for a few days.â Selena didnât want to go home as she recalled that Connor no longer cared about her and that returning home would only make her feel annoyed.
Time flew by and it was 5.00PM. Nobody from the Presgrave Group dared to bring up Ellenâs matter again. The instructions from the presidentâs office were indeed deterrent enough to keep everyone quiet.
Jared came out from the meeting earlier and quickly walked back to his office. When he entered his office, he noticed Ellen sleeping on the couch. Seeing that, he quickly slowed down his steps to prevent Stanley, who was behind him, from entering.
He then shut the door while unbuttoning his suit before removing it and draping it over her. He smiled as he looked at the woman curled up on the couch.
While waiting for Ellen to wake up, Jared remained in the office, carrying on with his work. It wasnât until the sky darkened that Ellen finally awoke and realized she was still in Jaredâs office.
She quickly sat up in surprise and the suit that was covering her slipped down, startling her. âAre you awake?â A manâs voice suddenly rang out.
Her face flushed instantly. Sh*t! Why did I doze off in his office and even use his suit as a blanket?
âWhatâs the time now?â Ellen asked in embarrassment. â7.00PM.â
âIâm sorry. I accidentally fell asleep,â she said with an apologetic expression, feeling guilty for delaying Jaredâs dinner.
âIâll punish you by having a meal with me, then, Jared announced as he stood up. After taking his car keys from the table, he told Ellen, âItâs a good thing you slept. Youâll be energetic enough to accompany me somewhere tonight.â
Ellen couldnât help herself and she asked, âWhere are we going?â However, Jared wanted to keep it a secret. âYouâll know later.â
With that, she didnât pursue it further and simply followed him to the underground parking garage to collect his car. Then, both of them went to a private restaurant that Jared frequently visited.
The dinner was sumptuous and since Ellen had taken a rest, her appetite was good. When Jared saw her eat happily, his appetite grew as well.
