Chapter 1802 I’ll Drop You Home
Laura was more than delighted. “Sure, go ahead!” Selena left the department
with the document in her hands, and the only thought on her mind was the
possibility of meeting the company president later when she went upstairs. She
was filled with hope and anticipation as she stepped into the elevator, which
shot up to the fifty-eighth floor directly.
Her heart galloped madly against her chest, and finally, the elevator stopped
with a ding, and she felt that the entire floor was shrouded in a solemn air, as
though she shouldn’t do as she wished here.
A few steps later, a female assistant approached and asked her, “Are you here
to deliver a document?”
“Yes, I am.” “Just pass it to me.” The assistant took the document from her, and
she quickly asked, “Miss, do you have a washroom here? I really need to go
now.”
“Over there,” the lady answered, pointing somewhere.
She thanked her and strolled toward the washroom, watching the entire floor
intently during her brief tour. After she used the restroom, she pretended to have
lost her way and saw a huge, golden door with the word ‘President’s Office’
written over it.
Her heart skipped a beat almost immediately. Oh, how she wished to meet the
president here, even if it was just a glance from a distance!
Unfortunately, Lady Luck wasn’t on her side. That door didn’t even budge even
though she waited for more than ten minutes, and she could only leave in
disappointment because if she hung around any longer, people would be
suspicious of her motive.
When it was time to clock off, she stole a glance at the reception once again.
Ellen was still there, placing her in a really foul mood. Dressed in the dark blue
uniform assigned to the reception desk, Ellen had transformed from a poor little
girl into an elegant white-collar worker.
She was like an ugly duckling who had turned into a white swan.
To Selena, this was very frustrating because, in her opinion, Ellen should always
live in her shadows and not have the chance to do well in life.
Everyone had already left for home. Nevertheless, Ellen decided to stay behind
to work overtime. She didn’t stay because of the extra hour fees, but she
needed the computer in the company to finish her work.
Soon, she was the only one left at the reception in the lobby. She was so
engrossed in finishing the document that she didn’t even notice that her
“You should head home! It’s late.”
“Okay, I was about to leave soon anyway,” she said, keeping away her
document and looking like she was planning to leave.
When Jared checked the time on his watch, he suddenly offered, “I’ll drop you
home.”
“Oh, it’s fine! I can’t trouble you because my place is quite far away.”
“I’m free. This is nothing,” he insisted.
She was delighted by his kindness and shyly accepted his offer. “Thanks for the
trouble, then,” she said and quickly grabbed her bag.
There was no one else in the lobby, and she followed in the footsteps of the
man in front of her all the way until they had descended the steps. After that,
she saw a very dashing and eye-catching sports car in front of her, and she
couldn’t help but gush in awe. This can’t be his car, can it?
Sure enough, the man pushed the unlock button, and the car beeped twice in
response. Finally, he opened the passenger seat door and urged, “Hop in!”
“Thank you!” Ellen was overwhelmed with excitement that she couldn’t help
herself from doing something silly. She stomped her feet several times to get the
dirt off her soles before she dared to cautiously get into his expensive car.
