My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1844
Night of Destiny
Chapter 1844
Ellen indeed came to work too early-it was only 8.20AM!
âOh. You havenât had breakfast?â
âWhat about you?â
âMe neither. I havenât eaten the bread I bought, answered Ellen honestly, feeling slightly awkward.
âLetâs go, then Jared beckoned her over with his finger. âFollow me downstairs.â
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, Iâll
unavoidably gain a few extra pounds. I donât even feel like Iâm 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, âWhy
stop?â
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!
âI-Iâm trying to lose weight. I canât 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.
âWhat weight?â Jared scanned her from head to toe, realizing that her proportion was perfect when his
gaze swept across her chest
âMy waist is getting plumper,â she grumbled.
âI donât think so,â he refuted.
âIt might not seem like it, but that is the truth.â
âDidnât I hug you the day we hiked? Youâre too thin to me. You should have some moreâ The smile on
Jaredâs 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
heartâs limit. He keeps pushing the acceleration! I canât take it anymore!
âFinish them. Donât waste,â 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.
âWhy arenât you picking up?â
âItâs that guy again. I donât feel like talking to him.â
Yet, Jared reached out for her phone to answer the call, âHelloâ
âHey, isnât this Ellenâs number? Who are you?â Harvey was surprised
âYes, it is. Iâm her boyfriend. Who are you?â Jared interrogated coldly.
âIâIâm her friend. Harvey stuttered.
âI donât care who you are, but leave Ellen alone,â 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 âLetâs go elsewhere.â
âWhere?â
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.
âPresident Presgrave, y-you donât have to do that. I can afford it. She tried to stop him.
âThink of it as a gift from me.â He smiled, taking pleasure in buying her stuff.
