Chapter 152
Chapter 152 At that point, Leah was cracking her head to figure out a way to obtain Elliot’s forgiveness. Therefore,when Anastasia suddenly added fuel to the fire, she couldn’t help but secretly glare at Anastasia. On the other hand, when Elliot heard Anastasia’s words, the expression on his face became colder,which made Leah even more anxious. “I’m sorry, Mr. Presgrave. It wasn’t intentional. I thought that Miss Tillman would fancy that coffee.”Leah tried hard to save her own image. After all, Elliot was Nigel’s cousin, so she couldn’t afford to ruinher image in front of Elliot! Upon hearing that, Anastasia revealed a smile. “Miss Hart, how about this-I’m willing to let this slide aslong as you apologize to me and return the money for the coffee to me.” Leah was really reluctant to accept her offer, but she was aware that Anastasia’s suggestion could helpher out of this embarrassing situation. Hence, she had no choice but to suppress her rage and nodded.“Alright, I’ll apologize to you. Just forget about the compensation and I’ll give you the money for thecoffee.” Upon seeing that Anastasia had named her conditions, Elliot remained quiet and didn’t raise anyobjections. Anastasia was seen taking out her phone and tapping on her phone to open the QR codethat allowed her to receive payment. Then, Leah quickly used her phone to scan the code and transferthe 5,888. At the same time, she inhaled a deep breath and said, “Miss Tillman, I’m sorry. Please forgive myimpoliteness.”
Anastasia took her phone and confirmed that she had received the money before replying withoutraising her head. “Okay, I forgive you.” When the man saw the woman eagerly checking the transfer with her head bowed, the coldness in hiseyes was replaced by a hint of affectionate smile. Her eyes are basically glued to the money. “Mr. Presgrave, I’m sorry to have taken up your precious time. I have something else to attend to. Ishall take my leave.” Leah tugged her female companion beside her. They quickly pulled the door open
and fled the room for fear that they might offend the man if they were to stay for another second. Anastasia took her phone and gratefully glanced at that man. “President Presgrave, thank you forstanding up for me.” “Add another dish tonight.” He raised his eyebrow at her, gesturing at her that he preferred her to showher gratitude through actions. She suppressed her laughter and said while standing at the door, “Sure. How about two extra dishes?Will that be enough, President Presgrave?” Her words ended with a long tone, but she totally had noidea that it actually sounded especially enticing when she called his name like that. It resembled afeather that gently brushed across his heart. Elliot’s heart skipped a beat, after which he replied with raised brows, “Don’t forget to cook more rice.” “Sure!” Anastasia, who was embarrassed to talk about this topic in the office, immediately pulled thedoor open and left. Although she had been pissed that day, the whole incident ended in a way that alleviated her anger. By that point, Leah, who had returned to her car, was so enraged that she slammed the steering wheelwhile her female companion sitting next to her had a look of displeasure. “I wonder what Anastasia didthat allowed her to get Elliot to stand up for him.” “I’ll definitely find a chance to get my revenge on her for the humiliation that I’ve endured today.” Leahwas so mad that she nearly fainted. Felicia dealt with the matter that involved Leah so well that nobody in the office knew that it was Elliotwho actually took the initiative to set things straight for Anastasia. Otherwise, Anastasia would havemade everyone burn in jealousy. In fact, Anastasia, who was carefree in character, wasn’t bothered by that incident as well since shehad gotten back her money. She had learned that she shouldn’t allow things that had nothing to do withher to occupy her time. At 3:00 PM, after having a few words with Felicia, Anastasia pushed open the door to her own office.Unexpectedly, she found Nigel sitting on her seat. novelbin
Upon seeing that she had returned, Nigel spun around on the chair and flashed a bright grin at her,revealing his dazzling, pearly white teeth. “Why are you here? Are you done with the renovation work?” Anastasia asked as she walked into theroom. “I’m here to check around and to pay you a visit and also to have dinner with you and Jared tonight.” “Huh? Tonight?” Her heart leapt into her mouth as she had to cook dinner for Elliot that night. “I’m thirsty,” Nigel said, then he extended his hand to grab the glass of water on her desk. Anastasia’seyes widened. With speed as fast as lightning, she snatched the glass. “You can’t drink from my glass.” “Don’t be so stingy! Taking a sip won’t hurt!” He bit his lips, looking as though he was hurt by herreaction.
