Then, Stanley knocked on the door before he opened it and entered the office. ‘President Presgrave, Miss Quins is here.” She immediately revealed a sweet, faint smile. After she received a look from Stanley, she stepped into the office elegantly. However, her smile stiffened the moment she saw another woman sitting on the sofa because she had never expected to see Ellen in Jared's office. Hence, she was shocked as she turned to Stanley and stated, “I... I'd better cagain tomorrow because | have an urgent matter to attend to.” “President Presgrave needs to leave for abroad at 3.00PM today. Miss Quins, you'd better hurry up and say it if there's anything on your mind. Otherwise, you won't have the chance to meet him,” Stanley explained. He was involved in the whole incident, so he knew what to do.
Hannie’s expression bechideous. Then, I've got to bow down and beg Jared in front of Ellen in this one hour? Ellen sat on the sofa and looked at Hannie awkwardly standing at the door. She then resumed reading the magazine in her hand and did not even acknowledge Hannie. Although she was rarely rude to others, she despised people like Hannie-shameless.
“Miss Reiss, good afternoon. I-Is President Presgrave around?’ Hannie could only behave cheekily and walked to the sofa to greet Ellen.
“What's up?” Ellen asked while raising her eyebrows. | wonder if Jared did it purposely, considering that he leftin his office before heading off on sbusiness.

Thus, she uttered aloofly. “Miss Quins, aren't you capable? Why are you begging me?” Hannie’s face becslightly flushed as she explained awkwardly, “I'm sorry for offending you before. Please forgive me, Miss Reiss.” She was smart, so she knew that she had to soothe Ellen’s anger toward her since Ellen was in the office. Otherwise, it would be useless no matter how she begged Jared as long as Ellen wasn’t on her side.
Ellen supported her chin as she looked at the forced look of plea on Hannie’s face. Serve you right! You should keep a low profile and be humble.
Just when Hannie put her palms together to beg Ellen again, the door behind her was opened. Jared strode into the office with Stanley. Seeing that, she leaped to her feet in delight. “Mr. Presgrave, here you are.” Jared sat next to Ellen.
Hannie, on the other hand, stood up and took a few steps back. She put up a pleading front and bowed while sincerely begging, ‘Please help me, Mr. Presgrave. | was just fooling around. | never intended to compete against you. | was simply too naive and childish. I'm truly sorry.” “Ellie, did she help you cool down?” He tilted his head and asked Ellen. As a result, Hannie’s heart skipped a beat. She was worried now because of how much she had belittled Ellen at the party.
She had no idea Ellen would have the power to decide her fate. “Miss Reiss, I'm sorry. Please forgivefor being so ignorant.” She had succumbed to a very humble level now as she just hoped that Jared could save her.
Jared glared at her, his expression was cold. “Get lost and go back to your country. Don’t letsee you again.” Her face was deeply flushed. That was the largest humiliation she had ever suffered, but she could only endure it because she had to reap what she had sown.
