Chapter 1854

Jared looked at the silent Ellen before he turned to Selena. Then, he addressed Ellen, “Ellen, do you want to explain things?”

“I don’t want to because | lied to her,” Ellen admitted.

“But | want to hear it,” Jared insisted in seriousness.

She was startled and turned to look at the solemn man as she felt pressured.

Selena snorted because she knew that Jared would see what kind of person Ellen was. Let's see how you'll wriggle your way out!

As Ellen never expected that she’d be forced to explain, she took a deep breath and nodded. “Fine, I'll explain those two matters.

Firstly, the Human Resource Department Manager warnednot to tell anyone about the accommodation part. So, I'm sorry,

Selena. | lied to you. As forsaying that President Presgrave has a girlfriend, that’s also a lie,” she admitted.

“Please. You're full of lies! President Presgrave has no girlfriend, but you spread rumors that he has. What's your intention? Could it

be you wanted an exclusive chance with him?” Selena sneered again because Ellen was unqualified to be Jared's girlfriend.

Ellen hurriedly explained, “No, | don’t mean that. | just hoped that you won't disturb President Presgrave’s work and personal life.”

“Who are you to care about his life? You are just President Presgrave’s assistant. Did you think you are his girlfriend? Even if he has

bad taste, he will not have the hots for you!” Selena shouted at that moment, making it sound like her words made sense.

Ellen’s face flushed even redder. She felt that Jared was looking at her and she had the urge to flee the scene in embarrassment.

“I'm sorry, Ellen,” she apologized sincerely for her lies.

Seeing that she had scolded Ellen to the point where Ellen was so embarrassed, Selena suddenly felt that Jared would hate her too.

However, when she turned in his direction, she noticed his gaze was on Ellen, but it wasn’t one of annoyance.

Am | hallucinating? He is distressed on her behalf? Selena couldn't help but panic. “President Presgrave, you should know best

what kind of person she is. Not only that, but | knew that she tried to seduce you through the messages. She has ulterior motives

toward you,” she said in her attempt to portray Ellen as a bad person.

“Selena, | admit that I'm in the wrong. Please stop speaking.” Ellen raised her head to stop Selena from telling

more.

Selena sneered and added, “My cousin is with someone whom my parents introduced as a date, but she won't separate from you,

President Presgrave. What a busy person she is!”

This was enough to cause Ellen to snap. “Stop spewing nonsense! Harvey and | are no longer in contact.

*President Presgrave, Ellen has an innocent-looking face, but she actually schemes. She has resorted to all tactics to lie to you.”

Selena disliked Ellen so much that she wanted to ruin Ellen’s reputation.

Jared looked at Selena with a complicated look before he turned to Ellen, who apologized under his gaze. “President Presgrave, I'm

sorry. | lied to you.”

“About what?” He narrowed his eyes.

“Yesterday's messages were all sent by Selena, notShe took the opportunity to text you when | was away in the morning. | told

you that | was drunk texting you. That was a lie Ellen was so ashamed that she couldn't look him in the eye, which left him sad

The expression on Selena’s face changed because she never expected Ellen to turn the tables on her She quickly claimed, ‘I didn’t

intend to | was replying to the text messages that you sent Ellen on impulse,

President Presgrave.”

The frown on Jared's face deepened

Now that Ellen had finally raised her head and met Jared's gaze with clear eyes, she went on, “I would never dare to show any

disrespect to you or possess any fantasies about you, President Presgrave. | just want to do my job and be the best employee that |

can

These words left him insecure Why is she expressing her honesty? Did she think | would like it?
