Ellen bit her lip and thought, This boss is too kind to the point that I'm slightly embarrassed.
“You can go back to the office now,” Jared said to her before getting up to walk over to his desk and starting on work.
Ellen didn’t want to be disruptive, so she took the takeaway box and returned to her office. She opened the box in her office and saw a dainty dessert inside. The dessert was made from fresh ingredients, and it was quite fragrant and tasty.
It definitely looks pricey. Suddenly, Ellen felt tears well up in her eyes. Other than her grandma and brother, this man was the only person who treated her well.
