Chapter 1839
“I am now an assistant on the presidential floor, Ellen replied, not wanting to point out her job as Jared’s personal
assistant.
Selena’s mind went blank upon the shocking news, which attested to the receptionist’s guess-Ellen was indeed
working directly under Jared!
At that point, jealousy spurred in Selena. Does that mean she gets to meet Jared every single day? Working at such
a distance will be an advantage for her! If she’s up to something, Jared’s gonna be wrapped in her fingers sooner or
later. After that, no matter how wealthy my family is, we won’t be able to be on par with the Presgrave Family!
Ellie, my parents will be away for work. I’m scared to be home alone. Can I crash at your place for two days?
Selena made up her mind to curry favor with Ellen, who owned the resources she coveted.

Five minutes later, her phone rang as Connor called her. She quickly answered the call, “Uncle Connor”
“Hey, Elle Olivia and I are going outstation for a few days, so I’m wondering if Lena can stay with you while we’re
away” inquired Connor
Ellen was slightly stunned, for it was her initial assumption that it was a deliberate attempt by Selena to stay with
her. Now that he had made a personal request, she could only go along with it. “Sure. Not a problem.”
“Thanks. It’s time for you guys to spend some quality time together. You girls were separated for so many years
and haven’t hung out together,” he reasoned.
Still, she was aware that things would not go his way. Even if they shared the same space, it would not pull them
closer because they were of different worlds.
After the call terminated, Selena shot another message. See you tonight, Ellie. Mom and Dad will board the plane
tonight.
Okay, responded Ellen.
Meanwhile, Connor looked at Olivia with dubious eyes. “We will be at home, though. Why must we lie to Ellie that
we’ll be away?”
“Enough with the questions. Just do as I say. It’s for Lena,” she answered.
Despite the questions in his head, he was happy to have the girls hanging out together. That way, they would have
someone to rely on in the future
At 3:00PM, Ellen’s landline rang, prompting her to pick up the call immediately. “This is Ellen speaking*
*Please make me a cup of coffee
“Sure, President Presgrave.”
“Less sugar, no cream.”

facilitated area, she opened a cupboard that contained various kinds of coffee beans. As a trained barista, she was
able to brew a nutty aromatic coffee like a breeze with the beans and coffee grinder
Fifteen minutes later, she held a tray to bring Jared coffee. After knocking and opening the door, she saw the man
perusing documents on the couch. He set the files down with a smile upon her arrival.
“Wow. It smells great.” He praised as the aroma wafted his nose.
“Hope you like it.” Ellen proffered the coffee to him.
He took a sip and savored the aromatic light texture that came with a smidgen of bitterness. The pleasant texture
prodded him to nod approvingly. “Not bad. I like it.”
She pursed her lips, feeling the spiking sense of achievement inside her. “Enjoy. I’ll be outside.”
When she returned to the pantry, she saw a female assistant examining the coffee machine. Since Ellen had time,
she approached the woman. “Fancy a cup of coffee?”
“Yeah, but I think it’s broken.”
“I’ll make one for you. Give me fifteen minutes.”
“Really? Awesome! I like cappuccinos.”
