Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

“I wouldn't feel at ease.” Ellen blushed bright red. He treated her so kindly, but
she had nothing to repay him. “You don't have to feel bad about it. I'm always
happy to help.” Jared's smile was dazzling.

Ellen blushed once again under his bearing smile. She realized she would feel
quite guilty if someone treated her too nicely. “President Presgrave, I-l would like
to buy you a present. What do you think would be a suitable present?” Ellen
asked.

“Just show me a smile,” Jared replied. Ellen was initially quite shocked before
pursing her lips and saying, “I'm being serious.”

“I'm also being serious here!” Jared enjoyed teasing her and seeing her face turn
bright red. She looked adorable. Ellen was tickled by that and burst into laughter
as she smiled at him.

Ellen was wearing a white shirt which gave her a slightly charming air. She
looked like a budding flower about to bloom in the wee hours of the morning; she
appeared to be concealing her shyness and coyness within.

To Jared, her smile felt like a gift to him and made him feel quite joyful.

Jared accepted her smile as repayment. After looking at his wristwatch for the
time, he said, “Come on. Come along with me to the company for a meeting.”
Both of them had just walked out of the phone shop when a pedestrian suddenly
rushed toward them and nearly bumped into Ellen. Ellen had barely reacted
when she felt a strong arm grab her around her waist, and then there was a tug
at her waist. At that point, Ellen fell into a man's firm chest. Her chest bounced
against his body.

A slightly pleasant scent hit Jared's nostrils, and he lowered his head to look at
the girl in his arms. Her body scent caused his body to tighten, and for a moment,
he felt a sensation rush at him on this pleasant morning.

Jared's handsome face flushed for a few seconds, and he didn't expect that he
would develop such thoughts toward Ellen.

As he drove toward the airport, Jared's eyes flickered slightly. The reaction he
had from this morning caused some slight turmoil in him. He had helped Ellen so
much purely because she needed help, and he didn’t approach her with any
underlying motives.

After they arrived at the company, Ellen went back to her office. Jared requested
her to make him a cup of coffee and send it to his office at ten thirty.

Ellen held a cup of coffee and came to the third meeting room. She gently
knocked on the door and pushed it open. Instantly, the atmosphere inside the
meeting room caused her heart to skip a beat. Everyone’s so solemn here!

The projector was on, so the meeting room lights were slightly dimmed. Ellen
focused her eyes on the man in the center of the room, and he looked as if he
was royalty shrouded in darkness. He exuded an air exclusive to a person of
authority but when matched with his young face, the aura he emitted seemed
exceptionally at odds.

At the same time, he was captivating, and one couldn't help being attracted to
him. Ellen placed the cup of coffee in front of him and heard him chuckle in a low
voice. “Thanks.”

She blushed and turned around to leave. As soon as she walked out of the
meeting room, she sighed. Jared emitted a totally different aura when he was at
work, and she didn’t even dare to breathe in front of him nor dare to cast eyes at
him.

Ellen went back to her office and heard her landline go off. She headed over and
reached out to answer the phone, “Hi, who's on the line?”

“Ellie, it's me.” Selena’s voice rang out on the other end. “Selena, do you need
something?”

“No, I don’t need anything. I want to have a chat with you, that's all. Gosh. Has
President Presgrave’s girlfriend arrived? Could you sneakily snap a photo of her
to show me?”

“His girlfriend isn't here, and I wouldn't dare to sneak a photo either. Selena, I
can't help you with this.” Ellen rejected Selena’s request.

“Why not? What's there to be afraid of?” Selena attempted to incite Ellen.
“Selena, it's working hours right now. Don't you have work to do?”

“I have nothing to do right now. Can I come upstairs to see you for fun?”

“Uhh. I-I'm actually quite busy.” Ellen had no choice but to tell a lie. “What are you
busy with?” “Anyway, Selena, I don’t have time for fun, so don’t come upstairs,
alright? It's working hours right now, Ellen advised Selena.

“Snap a photo of President Presgrave's girlfriend when you have time and send it
to me, okay?” Selena requested. Selena refused to give up until she actually saw
Jared's girlfriend.
