    Chapter 122


    Elliot’s arm tensed for a moment, but he didn’t fling the woman’s hand away. He was also interested


    to take a look at the man in front of Anastasia, who had made herugh so heartily.


    The moment Anastasia looked up, she saw Elliot and Hayley walking in her direction. She then


    realized that the table next to her had just been cleared. They’re not going to sit here, are they?


    Hayley shot Anastasia a smug look when she walked over and pretended to greet her. “I didn’t


    know you were here, Anastasia!”


    Anastasia gave Hayley a cold re before turning her head to face the window. She didn’t bother


    being nice to Hayley as she saw no point in it. Hayley could only settle in her seat with a bitter smile


    on her face. Meanwhile, Elliot took his seat opposite Hayley. The position of his seat allowed him to


    stare directly at Anastasia’s face. He took a nce at the man opposite her as he thought, I don’t


    know who this guy is. That means that he’s probably just some regr person.


    “Mypany’s really near to yours, Miss Tillman! It’s just two streets away. I’ll have to buy you


    lunch and coffee next time!” Samuel’s gaze remained on Anastasia the whole time, and he didn’t


    notice the icy re that was boring into the back of his head.


    Anastasia ran her fingers through her hair as she put on a shy smile. “Sure! We can grab coffee


    when we’re free. Since you’re such an impressive individual, I bet I can learn some investment


    rted things from you,” she uttered.

    “I do have some achievements in that field, so I’d dly teach you some tricks,” Samuel replied in a


    confident tone. He was secretly pleased when he noticed how Anastasia seemed to have a better


    impression of him after he talked about his career.


    “Let’s get some food, Elliot!” Hayley said.


    “You go ahead. I need to make a call,” Elliot replied while staying put in his seat. Hayley had no


    choice but to go on her own. As she turned to gaze at the man sitting opposite Anastasia, she


    scoffed. What’s Anastasia’s taste in men like? This guy doesn’t look good at all.


    At the same time, Elliot’s gaze was fixed on the woman sitting at the next table. There was a lightAll rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    hanging from above Anastasia’s head, and her gray evening gown made her skin seem fairer than


    usual. Her sharp features and her mesmerizing eyes made her seem especially attractive, and her


    glossy red lips looked extra seductive. Any man who saw her perky, glossy lips would yearn to bite


    on them.


    Although Anastasia wasn’t paying any attention to the man beside their table, she could feel him


    staring at her. What’s he looking at? Doesn’t he already have Hayley with him? she scoffed silently.


    While Samuel lowered his head to drink water, Anastasia took the opportunity to roll her eyes at


    Elliot before ring at him.


    Elliot’s confused eyes met her eyes, and he felt a surge of inexplicable emotions in his chest.


    Anastasia smiles in such a happy manner when she’s with this man, yet she has never smiled at me


    like that before. Why? Don’t I deserve her smiles?


    These thoughts made Elliot more frustrated than before. As he watched Anastasia continuing to


    engage in conversation with the other man, Elliot felt like he couldn’t handle it anymore. In the end,


    he stood up and walked to Samuel. “Excuse me, sir. I need this seat for a while as there are


    some work-rted things I’d like to discuss with my staff.”


    Samuel felt rather annoyed. Which brat’s trying to mess with my attempt at chasing after Anastasia?


    The moment Samuel turned around, he was utterly shocked by what he saw. Isn’t this the young


    master of the Presgrave Group?


    “P-Please sit down, President Presgrave.” Samuel moved at the speed of lightning as he gestured


    for Elliot to sit. Then, Samuel realized… Does Anastasia work for Elliot?


    Anastasia stared at the man in a rather troubled manner. “I’m not at work right now, President


    Presgrave. Let’s talk about work during work hours,” she uttered coldly.


    “I think talking about work is better than chatting with this boring man here.” Elliot had instantly


    attacked Samuel’s personality by calling him a boring man. Samuel was speechless for two


    seconds before he put on a polite smile. “You’re right, President Presgrave. I’m a rather naggy


    person who likes to have conversations on useless topics,” he exined.


    Anastasia didn’t know how to respond as she stared at Elliot. “This might be the first time I’ve seen


    someone talk so rudely about others in front of their face,” she muttered.


    “Did I say anything wrong?” Elliot raised an eyebrow in a cocky manner.


    He’s right that Samuel brags, but I’m willing to listen to him! I’d rather listen to Samuel than Elliot!


    Anastasia thought.


    “I like it when others brag. Do you have the ability to do that, President Presgrave? Why don’t you


    try it?” Anastasia said in a provoking manner.
