My Baby’s Daddy novel (Anastasia) novel Chapter 1816

Chapter 1816

Sometimes, hostility might not be stemmed from someone else’s actions. It could merely be because the person’s existence accentuated the weak point of one and caused one to suffer injustice.

This new receptionist was Wendy Skeen. She had put in a lot of effort to gain a job at Presgrave Group. Though she was the most outstanding one among her peers, right now, she appeared to be the worst compared to Ellen.

Furthermore, she had just witnessed with her own eyes how Jared saved Ellen from trouble earlier, so that was a cause of annoyance for her.

Inside the office of the finance department, Selena could not seem to focus on her work. She remained in her seat with a thunderous expression and kept fussing over Ellen’s date with Jared tonight.

Perhaps the rumors about them would spread like wildfire in a couple more days. At that moment, it was hard to describe how horrible Selena felt. She was worried and fearful that Ellen would surpass her in the future.

She could not accept her cousin’s excellence or lead a better life than her because, to her, it seemed that Ellen deserved a life of impoverishment.

“Lena, do you want to join me for dinner tonight? I’ll book a restaurant for us,” one of her male colleagues invited fawningly as he walked past her.

However, Selena rejected him immediately. “I’m busy.”

At that moment, she was contemplating how to crash Ellen’s dinner date tonight. She paid no heed to my request and didn’t even care to invite me, but that doesn’t mean I can’t pop over by myself! She revealed a cold sneer. Let’s see how Ellen’s going to kick me out of the place by then!

To approach Jared, Selena had resorted to every plot and scheme she could come up with because she wanted badly to get to know him. If only she could get hold of his phone number, she would do everything she could to win his affection.

As such, tonight’s date was critical to her, and there was no way she would miss this dinner.

Suddenly, a male colleague who was interested in Selena walked past her. She clung to his arm and revealed an affectionate face while saying, “Kenny, can I ask you for a favor? If you succeed in helping me, I’ll treat you to a meal tomorrow.”
