As he strode over from the elevator, he noticed the girl sitting behind the receptionist’s desk and frowned. Is she working overtagain for free? Receptionists had redundant jobs, hence the fixed salary. Hearing the rhythmic click, Ellen raised her head and met eyes with the incoming man. Her slightly weary eyes lit up instantly.
“Working overtime?” She smiled. “Yeah. It's quite late. You should get going too.” The way he spoke sounded as if the boss was speaking, but she shrugged it off because of his young face. He must be worried.
“About that... Can | buy you a meal?” She invited him for a meal on the spur of the moment. Jared, who intended to leave, halted and looked back at her for a few seconds. He checked the tthrough his wristwatch. “My pleasure. Let's go.” Her mind went blank at his cool acceptance. Holy moly. Just how bold am I to invite him for a meal? And to think that | hit a hrun! Squealing on the inside, she hurriedly tidied up the desk and accidentally dropped a file onto the floor. After picking it up, she banged her head against the chair. Judging from the loud sound, it had to hurt a lot.
Jared cup to her upon hearing the noise. “No need to rush. Take your time.” “Done.” Ellen took her bag and scurried out of the receptionist’s desk, revealing the red tinge on her forehead.
The sight of the red mark pricked his heart a little. “Be A, next time.” “I will. It's just—I didn’t expect a ‘yes’ from you.” She added, “I know a decent restaurant nearby.

You can have it your way next time.” Jared never let women foot the bills.

She sneaked a few peeks at the man beside her. A sophisticated aura seemed to be shrouding him under the streetlights as if they were of a different world.
“Where are we going?” She beccurious.
“You'll know when you're there.” He frequented a particular restaurant for meals. It served high-quality food but was not open to the public.
The car was driven into a garden before stopping at a vast field. Ellen scrutinized the stunning area in surprise, ignorant of such scenery at the city center. With the wispy fragrance from the rose garden and enchanting night sky, it was a rare sight to behold in the city.
“It must be expensive to have a meal here.” To not put her under pressure, Jared answered, “It’s affiliated with the company, so every expense made can be reimbursed.” She bought his words due to the great employee welfare at Presgrave Group. The moment she entered one of the lounges in the restaurant, she exclaimed once again. This is not a place | could step foot into in the past.
While they were ordering food, she noticed that the prices were excluded from the menu. She heard of most of the ingredients, but never once had she tasted them because it was not something ordinary people could afford.
