Chapter 118


    Chapter 118


    “Do you have a car?” Elliot asked.


    “I’ll call a cab,” she replied.


    “The roads will be closed, so cabs won’t be able to get in,” he exined. She frowned before


    answering in a firm tone, “That’s fine. I’ll just walk over to the hotel.”


    “I’ve never seen a woman as stubborn as you,” he uttered in a grumpy tone.


    “Well, you’ve met me now. I’ll end the call now. I’m busy.” She ended the call right after finishing her


    sentence. She was probably the only one who dared to speak to the president in such a tone. Even


    those in Presgrave Group wouldn’t dare to speak to him in such an impolite manner.


    Meanwhile, the man wore a dark look on his face after Anastasia hung up his call. I really don’t


    know what to do with this woman. It’s hard for me to gain control over her, but that only makes me


    more interested in achieving this. It’s like I’m challenging myself to conquer someone who can’t be


    conquered.


    Anastasia got off work 30 minutes earlier, and she brought her evening gown home before pulling


    her makeup pouch out. She decided to put on some makeup since she hadn’t used her skills in a


    while.


    At the same time, someone else was also getting ready for the dinner party. The more Hayley


    thought about Harriet looking down on her, the more Hayley was filled with resentment. This drove


    Hayley to attend the dinner party tonight. She couldn’t just go up to Elliot, so she had to pretend that


    she had just shown up at the event somehow.


    After thinking about it for a while more, she came up with a proper n. At 7.30PM, she would


    pretend that she needed to see Elliot for an emergency. That would exin why she ended up at


    the dinner party. She had picked out a dress and put on makeup for the night, so all she had to do


    now was wait.


    The sun had just started going down when Anastasia got ready to leave her house. Someone rang


    her doorbell just before she headed out. She was shocked as she wasn’t expecting anyone at that


    hour. The moment she opened the door, she saw a bouquet of roses covering a man’s face. TheContent held by N?velDrama.Org.


    very next second, the man moved the roses away to show his bright, handsome smile.


    “What are you doing here, Nigel?” She stared at him in shock.


    “I’m here to pick you up for the dinner party, of course. I can’t let my beautiful woman go to the party


    in a cab, can I?” he replied.


    “How did you know I was going to get a cab?” Anastasia gave him a sheepish smile.


    “You love saving money, so I don’t think you’d hire a private car for the night, would you?” Nigel


    knew her well. I guess I can save on my cab fees since he’s here to pick me up, she thought. “Why


    did you bring flowers?” She was a little more taken aback by the way he had presented her with the


    roses.


    “I feel like giving you flowers every time I see you,” he replied.


    “Mr. Nigel!” Jared ran out when he heard Nigel’s voice. Nigel handed the flowers over to Jared.


    “Here, Jared. Bring these flowers in. I’ll bring your mommy out for a dinner party now.”


    Jared happily carried the flowers back into the house while Anastasia shut the door and left with


    Nigel. While they were in the elevator, Nigel couldn’t help but nce at her outfit. She looked


    especially elegant in her gray silk dress. It brought out her curves and enhanced her figure, making


    her look extremely stunning.


    “It fits you really well,” Nigel eximed. He was the one who hand-picked all three of the outfits, and


    he had a feeling that she would choose the ash gray one. “I bet this dress costs more than 10,000,


    right? Don’t lie to me!” Anastasia knew that the staff member had lied to her earlier, and she was


    certain that it was Nigel’s instructions.


    “The price of the dress doesn’t matter as long as it looks good on you,” he replied. As he stepped


    out of the elevator, he casually slipped his hand into hers. “Tonight’s an important night, so we


    shouldn’t bete.”


    Anastasia didn’t know what to do after he held her hand, so she simply allowed him to lead her out


    of her residential area. His shy sports car was parked at the entrance of her residential area, and


    both of them stepped out of the building looking like they were a prince and princess prepared for a


    party. Many passersby nced in their direction as they walked.


    However, at that very moment, a ck Rolls-Royce Phantom appeared from the other side of the


    road. The man inside the ck car happened to see the man and woman walking out while holding


    hands.


    Nigel held the door open for Anastasia, and she got in the passenger’s seat elegantly. Then, Nigel


    walked around the front of the car to get in the driver’s seat.
