Chapter 1920
One could not help but wonder about the girl that had commanded such care and attention from the car owner. Meanwhile, the girl in question was sound asleep, and she did not wake up from the long and comfortable evening nap.
At the same time, a figure who hurried into her neighborhood pressed urgently on the elevator button. When he arrived in front of the door, he was panting hard from the rush on his way here out of worry for Ellen.
“Ellen! Ellen, are you home?” Jared banged on her door without a care for the neighbors at that moment. He needed to know if she was home.
Ellen woke up groggily and thought she heard the sound of someone banging on her door in her dream. When she was fully awake, she realized that someone was indeed making a commotion.
Who is it? She tensed up. After taking a peek via the peephole, she immediately relaxed when she saw Jared. She opened the door for him and looked at his anxious demeanor, puzzled. “President Presgrave? What’s wrong?”
He immediately extended his arms and pulled her into a solid hug. He sighed softly and confessed, “I almost got a heart attack because of you.”
She looked even more lost. He appeared to have suffered from a great shock, judging from his tight hug that almost suffocated her. What did I do now?
He finally let go of her and held her by the shoulders. “Why is your phone turned off?”
“Is it turned off?” She rubbed her eyes. “I just woke up. Let me take a look.”
He broke into a smile when he realized that he had misunderstood the situation. It was his first time overthinking and worrying about a girl.
