was the most outstanding one among her peers, right now, she appeared to be the worst compared to Ellen.

Inside the office of the finance department, Selena could not seem to focus on her work. She remained in her seat
with a thunderous expression and kept fussing over Ellen’s date with Jared tonight.

“Lena, do you want to join me for dinner tonight? I’ll book a restaurant for us,” one of her male colleagues invited
fawningly as he walked past her.
However, Selena rejected him immediately. “I’m busy.”
At that moment, she was contemplating how to crash Ellen’s dinner date tonight. She paid no heed to my request
