Chapter 1805 Luxurious Restaurant
Everyone got off work on time, but Ellen decided to stay. She loved working
overtime alone in the spacious area. Sitting at the receptionist’s desk, she took
her time organizing the documents and identifying every problem that occurred.
Time flew past without her realizing and it struck 7.00PM. A silhouette exited the
elevator, revealing a sculpture-like face. A sheen of light on him added lusters of
grace to his every movement.
As he strode over from the elevator, he noticed the girl sitting behind the
receptionist’s desk and frowned. Is she working overtime again 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 I 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 time through 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 I hit a home run!
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 came up 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.
