“It’s getting late. Let’s do it another day!” Jared did not want to talk to him because discussing his affair was pointless. “President Presgrave, just give me five minutes. Gavin strove for a chance as he said So.
However, Jared was still very angry at him for blocking his cars, so he said to his bodyguards,. “Please ask him to leave.”
“President Presgrave, I promise I won’t take up too much of your time. Please give me five minutes. He then pulled a folder from his backpack and handed it to Jared. “This is my son’s resume. He’s truly exceptional. Please consider giving him a chance!”
Jared did not accept it. He simply and calmly answered, ‘Mr. Turner, I respect you since you’re my elder, but please understand that the company is bound by its policies. I can’t break. them.”
“We can be merciful, can’t we? Can’t you please do me a favor?’ Gavin became agitated all of a sudden. “Is it necessary for you to be so cruel to my family? Do you have to go to such lengths?”
Jared gave the bodyguard a look before her turned to go back to his car.
Gavin quickly pursued Jared and dashed to his car. From the rolled-down window, he noticed Ellen, who was sitting in the shotgun seat. As a result, he soon realized why Jared was eager to return home. It turned out that there was a woman in the car.
The bodyguards came and carried him away at that instant. He watched as Jared drove away. After that, his gaze became slightly sinister and horrible under the dim light. He gritted his teeth as he watched that team of cars leave. “There’s nothing impossible in this world,” he murmured.
Sitting in the car, Ellen could not help but inquire curiously, “Who was that?” Jared did not want to frighten her, so he explained, “He’s my senior staff, and he came to discuss something with me.”
“It’s late now. Was it anything urgent?” “He made a very unreasonable request, so I refused him,” he elaborated. “What was his request?”
“He’s about to retire, but he wants his son to be promoted to his current post before his retirement. I didn’t promise him that, so he’s been begging me about it these few days. However, rules are rules. It’s prohibited to break the company’s policy,” he explained patiently.
“That is, in fact, against the rules.” After hearing the entire story, she concluded that the employee mentioned was indeed out of line. “I’ll strive for more benefits for him in terms of pension, but I can’t help him with the other. stuff.” Jared could only help him so far.
It was already dead of winter, but the warm bedroom was as warm as spring at night. Nobody was around to interfere with their private moment, so it was a pleasant experience to snuggle in bed and watch al movie projected on a screen together. That night, Jared and Ellen both chose a slightly romantic film to watch and only went to bed late at night.
He went to the chess club established by Brook Linton with Ellen the next morning. It was still under renovation, but Brook was very happy at how supportive she was toward his attempt at reestablishing the chess club.
He was. confident in nurturing better chess players and teaching more people about chess, so this game could be fostered and enhanced as it was passed down from generation to generation.
Ellen would go there to teach other students as she continued to learn as Brook’s disciple. It was her hope to achieve greater success in chess in the future.
Jared drove her back to the company after they had lunch nearby at noon. As she was a patient and quiet lady, she could pass the time with just a book and a cup of tea.
He then left for a meeting, leaving her in his office to read a book. Suddenly, she heard a female assistant’s voice from the door. “I’m sorry, Mr. Turner. President Presgrave isn’t in the office, so you can’t go in.”
“What do you mean? He just wants to avoid me. Step aside. Let me in, Gavin roared angrily, and he pushed the female assistant away roughly. He then pressed the doorknob down to barge into the office.
Consequently, Ellen was shocked as she looked. up at the fierce man. At a glance, she could tell that he was the one who blocked their car the previous night..
He looked at her and asked rudely, “Where’s President Presgrave?” “He is in a meeting,” she answered.
