Currently, in the meeting room, the man received the message, the corners of his mouth curling upward as he read it. However, he couldn’t see the sunset in the meeting room, and it made him curious whether the evening sunset today was really that beautiful.
After taking a glance at the time, he dismissed the meeting and left the room. As he stood in the hallway, he admired the evening sunset, which was even more magnificent and spectacular with the bird's eye view. He then took a photo of it before replying to Ellen.
‘I saw it. It's beautiful! After sending the message, Ellen was filled with sudden regret. He was busy, so how could she send him trivial text messages? Wouldn't that take up his time? Either way, it was too late to think about deleting her message now. Ellen was just berating herself for not doing something as thoughtless as this anymore when she heard a message notification and saw his reply. Instantly, her earlier frustration disappeared, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a smile.
So, he was looking at it too! He even sent a picture. ‘Are you still at work?’ Ellen asked, noticing keenly that the place he was standing at was a hallway in the company.

What an honest girl, he thought. If it were anyone else, they'd be able to tell that he was going to treat her to a meal, while she told him that she’d already eaten instead, making him somewhat embarrassed to invite her out.
‘All right. I'll treat you to a meal next time! Upon seeing his text, Ellen lost interest in the bread in her hands. She couldn't help but let out a forced laugh.
Was he planning to treat her to a meal earlier? ‘No, no, I only ate sbread, so I'm still hungry. Why 8 we eat together?’ Ellen replied, attempting to salvage the dinner he mentioned.
Jared was just about to enter the elevator when he heard the notification. His lips curled up into a smile, making Dean, who was trailing along next to him, curious about whom he was texting.
‘Okay, I'll pick you up, he replied. Ellen asked, ‘Do you know which neighborhood I'm staying in?’ ‘Of course, | do. | won't take long, so cto the entrance in ten minutes.
Ellen sent a smiling emoji in reply. ‘Okay! After their texts ended, Ellen couldn't help but blush and cover her face happily. She couldn't believe she had taken the initiative to ask him out for dinner so boldly. If he'd refused, she did not know how she would face him again. Upon looking down, she realized that she was still wearing her uniform. As she was going to have dinner with him, she decided to put on something casual.
Therefore, Ellen went digging through her clothes. Soon, she found a white dress that she was most satisfied with and put it on. Although its design was nothing out of the ordinary, fortunately for her, she had a pretty face and a decent figure, so it didn’t look too bad on her. With that, she took her bag and went out quickly.
Ten minutes later, a gray sports car slowly cfrom the driveway, and she reached out to wave at it before heading over. The door of the car opened and revealed Jared in a black suit, who was exuding the charm and elegance befitting of a business elite.
“You look really good in a suit.” Ellen praised him. In fact, she wanted to tell him that he was the best-looking man she had seen so far.

He took her to the restaurant they had been to in the past. As it was her second visit, she didn’t feel constrained.
Besides, it had a homey and warm atmosphere, and it was quiet and private.
“Are your relatives still harassing you with phone calls?” he asked, his eyes narrowing.
“Not anymore. Speaking of it, it’s all thanks to you. | wouldn't have known what to do otherwise.” She looked at him thankfully. As soon as he made a move, even people like Garrett obeyed him wholly.
“If you find yourself in a tight situation in the future, you can just telland I'll solve it for you, Jared assured readily.
