“Ellen, are you sure about this?” She held on the chance that Ellen saw it wrongly. “No cap.” Ellen nodded seriously, putting her plan into operation. “Selena, do you perhaps have feelings for President Presgrave?” A deflated Selena did not hide the truth. “So what if | like him? He's already taken.” “Selena, | bet there's a lot of people lining up for you out there. Why don’t you choose someone from an influential family to be your husband? | think President Presgrave is off-limits. He will never fall for someone ordinary like us,” Ellen advised.

Still, Selena gave her an eye roll. “Not me.” Ellen returned a smile instead of getting angry. “Yeah, yeah. I'm the only one. You studied abroad, at least.” “Yup! And | am a graduate of a privileged. school!” Selena’s eyes twinkled with pride. It was, in actuality, a hoax because she paid someone to write her thesis.

“You're a genius, Selena! How did you enroll in that university?” It piqued Ellen’s interest because Selena had always had poor grades, let alone scoring on the SAT. Therefore, how was it even possible for her to study in a recognized school? Selena sneered. “I pulled sstrings. Dad has his connections. | told him | wanna get into that university, and they offereda place a few days later. You have no idea how happy | was.” Never once had Selena opened up to her toxic friends, so she felt like bringing up her ‘remarkable’ past she took pride in..

“Really? Uncle Connor's the best!” Ellen feigned envy. “He sure is.” Selena was proud to have a father like Connor, who granted every of her wish.

“It took him a phone call to geta position in presgraVEZsroup.” Then, she wondered how Ellen got a job in the company. ‘Did you pass the interview with flying colors?” The doubt plaguing Ellen's mind was finally answered, so she reconfirmed. ‘Uncle Connor helped you with that?” “Yep. He called one of the senior employees.” Selena nodded. | think Uncle Connor helpedtoo. She mustn't know about this, or she'll throw a fit at him.

Therefore, Ellen lied. “A-As you've guessed, | passed the interview.” Selena observed the attractive Ellen while thinking that receptionists were indeed dolls. Next, she steered the topic back. “Tellmore about Mr. Presgrave.” Ellen was helpless. “I don’t know what else to talk about.” “What about that gorgeous lady you mentioned? Who is she? Is she a celebrity or someone rich?” “Not the former, but she appears to be from a rich family. She has that air around her.” Ellen continued faking it.

Selena did not doubt one bit of her story. Judging from Jared's identity, it was nearly impossible that he was single. Women would throw themselves at a capable man like him, so that marked the end of Selena’s sweet dreams.

“But why does he treat you so special?” She could not understand why Jared noticed a newcomer like Ellen amongst the employees.

“It's probably because of my circumstances.” Ellen added, “I once cried at work when | bumped into him. He asked, and | told him that Grandma left, | seem pitiful now that I'm all by myself.”
