Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 1854

Chapter 1854

Jared looked at the silent Ellen before he turned to Selena. Then, he addressed Ellen, “Ellen, do you want to explain things?”

“I don’t want to because I lied to her,” Ellen admitted.

“But I want to hear it,” Jared insisted in seriousness.

She was startled and turned to look at the solemn man as she felt pressured.

Selena snorted because she knew that Jared would see what kind of person Ellen was. Let’s see how you’ll wriggle your way out!

As Ellen never expected that she’d be forced to explain, she took a deep breath and nodded. “Fine, I’ll explain those two matters. Firstly, the Human Resource Department Manager warned me not to tell anyone about the accommodation part. So, I’m sorry, Selena. I lied to you. As for me saying that President Presgrave has a girlfriend, that’s also a lie,” she admitted.

“Please. You’re full of lies! President Presgrave has no girlfriend, but you spread rumors that he has. What’s your intention? Could it be you wanted an exclusive chance with him?” Selena sneered again because Ellen was unqualified to be Jared’s girlfriend.

Ellen hurriedly explained, “No, I don’t mean that. I just hoped that you won’t disturb President Presgrave’s work and personal life.”

“Who are you to care about his life? You are just President Presgrave’s assistant. Did you think you are his girlfriend? Even if he has bad taste, he will not have the hots for you!” Selena shouted at that moment, making it sound like her words made sense.

Ellen’s face flushed even redder. She felt that Jared was looking at her and she had the urge to flee the scene in embarrassment. “I’m sorry, Ellen,” she apologized sincerely for her lies.

Seeing that she had scolded Ellen to the point where Ellen was so embarrassed, Selena suddenly felt that Jared would hate her too. However, when she turned in his direction, she noticed his gaze was on Ellen, but it wasn’t one of annoyance.

Am I hallucinating? He is distressed on her behalf? Selena couldn’t help but panic. “President Presgrave, you should know best what kind of person she is. Not only that, but I knew that she tried to seduce you through the messages. She has ulterior motives toward you,” she said in her attempt to portray Ellen as a bad person.
