Chapter 1817
After Selena replied to Kenny’s message, she immediately started her car and headed over to the restaurant. To
her surprise, she did not expect him to enter the restaurant and snap a photo of the window seat for her. ‘This is
where they’re seated.’
As she waited at the traffic lights, she noticed that text message and was delighted. Ellen chose a spot in the main
dining hall, so it’d be much easier for me to pretend I’d encountered them by chance.
She texted Kenny again to inform him that he could leave. Coincidentally, he had another appointment, so he left
accordingly.
By the window seat, Ellen fidgeted nervously as she sat across from Jared. She could no longer keep her cool and
behave naturally upon getting to know his identity. She appeared to behave cautiously around him in everything she
did.
“Take a look at the menu, President Presgrave,” she said.
Jared browsed the menu and selected a few dishes that were tasty and relatively inexpensive.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhile she was prepared to order and turned to the waitress, she realized the waitress was staring at the man and
ignoring her.
“Ahem..” Ellen had no choice but to cough purposely. At that point, the waitress finally retracted her gaze with a
reddened face and turned to her. “Ma’am, would you like to add on to the order?”
“Yes, two more.”
After Ellen was done, she turned around and realized that all of the young waitresses in the restaurant had their
eyes on her table. Undoubtedly, Jared resembled a magnet, which attracted all of the young girls‘ attention in the
restaurant.
He was a dazzling presence and caused all of the girls‘ hearts to flutter, even by just sitting there.
Ellen, too, could not help being drawn to him and stared at him. Under the lamp glow, the man had elegant
features with a milky–white complexion. He looked exquisite, yet there was a manly air to his looks. He held a
teacup in his hand while gazing out of the window, looking as if he was framed into a stunning portrait. He was
indeed blessed with gorgeous looks.
Downstairs, Selena had just parked her car and no longer cared whether her actions were embarrassing as she
grabbed her bag and went up the stairs. As she entered the dining hall, she immediately caught sight of Ellen and
Jared by the window seat.
She took a deep breath before heading over toward the two.
Coincidentally, Ellen lifted her head to glance in the direction of the entrance. Her eyes widened in surprise when
she saw Selena. What’s going on? Why is she here?
At that moment, Selena tugged her lips into a smile and called out Ellen’s name warmly, “Ellie, you’re having dinner
here too? This is such a coincidence! I’m meeting my friend at this restaurant too!”
Ellen could tell at a glance that she was lying. How can it be so coincidental? Is she truly here to meet a friend, or
did she follow me here?
Despite being well aware of the situation, Ellen could not possibly expose Selena’s lie because she had taken a seat
next to her, full of smiles.
At that moment, Selena’s phone went off, and she quickly answered it. “What?! You’re standing me up? So, you
can’t make it today? I’ve arrived at the restaurant. Oh, well. Forget about it if you can’t make it. My cousin’s here
too, so I’ll join her for dinner.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter that superb act, she pretended to hang up her call. In reality, she merely set an alarm to go off.
She turned to Ellen. “I’m sure you wouldn’t mind me joining you for dinner, right, Ellie?” Subsequently, she turned
to stare beseechingly at Jared and said coyly, “President Presgrave, my friend happened to stand me up. Can I join
you two for dinner?”
He nodded slightly. Naturally, he did not know that Selena had schemed hard to join this dinner date. As for Ellen,
she was stifled and overwhelmed by a heavy feeling within her. She had truly never encountered such a schemeful
person in her life.
“Ellie, President Presgrave has agreed. I’m sure you wouldn’t make me leave, right? How about this? My treat
tonight.” Selena smiled smugly as she turned to Ellen.
In the end, Ellen had no choice but to purse her lips and nod. “I said it would be my treat.”
Selena was pleased. I finally succeeded in joining their dinner date.
Along the way here, she had purposely retouched her makeup. At last, she could finally showcase herself in front of
Jared
“Ellie, does your face still hurt? Let me take a look.”
At that, Ellen instantly grabbed her incoming hand to stop her from touching her face. “It doesn’t, Selena.”
