Chapter 457: 0457 The secretary is Naya York’s cousin_1

"Only a little bit?"

Upon hearing this, Ruffy felt somewhat disappointed, but still found it amusing, "I’ve been thinking about you the whole time."

Ellen’s response was indifferent, "Really? Can you still get any work done while thinking about me?"

Ruffy paused for a moment, then chuckled, "It’s precisely because I miss you so much that I need to find something to do, otherwise I’d spend the whole day yearning for you, and you know just how unbearable that is when I can’t see you."

Before they started dating, Ellen thought Ruffy was somewhat a dutiful person.

Now she felt that she had misjudged him initially; Ruffy wasn’t dutiful, he simply had not had the opportunity. Now that an opportunity had arisen, he was becoming even more excessive.

He could spout sweet nothings with ease, Ellen was not particularly averse to them, yet they did not quite stir her heart.

Perhaps it was because she was someone with rather detached emotions to begin with, unable to express the bashful feelings that came naturally to most people, let alone anything beyond that.

Ellen reached out and petted Blackie by her side, saying, "I’ll come over tomorrow afternoon, and we can have a meal together then."

This was the first time she had taken the initiative to invite him for a meal, and Ruffy’s eyes lit up immediately, "Great, what would you like to eat?"

Ellen, "I’m fine with anything."

Ruffy, "Then I’ll wait for you to come over."

After discussing their plans, Ruffy was in high spirits as he got ready to leave work, and Ellen also needed to attend to some tasks.

In WhatsApp, the "lonely genius" sent Ellen a message, saying he was planning to return to the country soon and was asking if Ellen had time; they could meet up earlier. He was eager to discuss with Ellen in person about the AI project they had talked about online and to embark on creating a great venture together.

Ellen had no objections, of course; she was free at any time. Checking the schedule, the "lonely genius" would be returning next week, which coincided perfectly with just after Taylor’s birthday party, allowing her to meet up with him. Ellen confirmed the final details with him and put together a comprehensive set of materials.

She would show them to him then, and if he had any insights, their AI research project could officially get underway.

The next day, Ellen was set to travel to Imperial City. Because she was bringing both Blackie and Michael, she simply had Clinton White’s private plane pick her up. When she got off the plane, Ruffy was still at the company, and she didn’t tell him she had arrived early; she was met by someone from her own company.

Clinton White’s secretary.

The new secretary was responsible mainly for external affairs and was a young and pretty girl; it was fortunate that Zoe Lewis had no objections.

However, this secretary was obviously not as calm and composed as the previous ones, frequently glancing at Ellen with eyes full of admiration when she met her.

She had only known that Ellen was an academician. Ellen’s identity had only recently been made public, and she hadn’t expected the big BOSS whom the deputy had sent her to pick up to be Ellen.

This world really was so unfair!

Thinking back to her own struggles with studying, as if it were a matter of life and death, to finally become successful, and then to see how someone could casually establish a super group, possessing an immensely high IQ, she felt the adage "comparisons between people can be deadly" was indeed true.

But envy was useless against such a person; after all, their intelligence was so high it trumped everything, they were truly above all, deserving the title of ’immortal.’ One could only admire, not envy.

After delivering Ellen to the company, during her next break at work, the secretary sent a message to her cousin, miles away.

Unexpectedly, her distant cousin was none other than Naya York.

The two had known each other since childhood and had a good relationship. Other than the York Family, no one else knew the real reason Naya went abroad. At this moment, the secretary was filled with pride as she showed off.
