    Chapter 192


    “What is there to help out with?”


    “Anastasia, help me take a look if the amount of wine here is correct or not. As you know, the


    employees in hotels can have less than desirable habits sometimes.” Naomi’s loud voice attracted


    the ire of nearby waiters.


    Feeling extremely humiliated, Anastasia wished she wasn’t acquainted with the woman. In the end,


    she said calmly, “This is a five-star hotel, so no such thing would happen. Now, if there isn’t anything


    else, then I’ll be excusing myself first.”


    After that, Anastasia was going to open the door and go out, but Naomi made a move to grab onto


    her. “Wait! Anastasia, I have something to say to you.”


    Feeling slightly disgusted, Anastasia avoided her touch. “You can say whatever you want to without


    having to touch me.”


    “Anastasia, you know that Erica has also bought a house recently, right? After your dad bought one


    for you, he insisted on buying one for her too. I couldn’t even persuade him not to do so,” Naomi


    said frustratingly.


    Smirking deep down, Anastasia kept up a calm fa?ade as she countered, “That’s between you


    people. You don’t need to tell me that.”


    “Of course I have to tell you that! Do you know how hard it is for your father to be the sole


    breadwinner of the family? On top of that, thepany isn’t going through its best period recently,


    so don’t disturb him if you don’t have much going on. Also, don’t try to borrow money from him


    these days. Just try to spend within your means.” Everything that Naomi said pointed to one


    message-Anastasia had better not further spend any of Francis’ money.


    Even if Naomi did not state this, Anastasia knew all this herself.


    “Your dad hasn’t been sleeping all that well these nights. I think it might be due to the stress.”


    The guilt started to well up within Anastasia, as the house that her dad bought for her did cost a


    pretty penny. Maybe Dad really is quite stressed nowadays.


    “Anastasia, I heard from your father that you’re now working under Young Master Elliot, right? Could


    I trouble you to ask if he’s still hiring? Erica is also hoping tond a job in hispany,” Naomi


    immediately murmured.


    Upon hearing that, Anastasia sneered deep down as she could see right through Naomi’s little trick.


    I think she just wants Erica to get close to Elliot!


    With that thought, she then opened the door and looked to the great hall. As expected, Erica had


    already made herselffortable on Anastasia’s original seat beside Elliot.


    S


    Anastasia then realized that Naomi was just calling her away as a distraction. And so, the former


    opened the door fully and left.


    “Hey! Anastasia, I haven’t even finished yet! Do you have any manners? I’m your senior! You


    should be respecting me!” Behind her, Naomi was so livid she started to stomp her foot


    At that point, practically all the guests had arrived, with Elliot’s table being the only one that had just


    one person sitting at it. This was probably because nobody dared to sit there.


    Weaving through the various tables, Anastasia was making her way back when another voice called


    out to her. “Miss Tillman, can I have the honor of sitting with


    you?”


    Turning back, she saw that it was Alex, so she instantly smiled and replied, “Of course you can!


    Let’s go over to that table.”


    Gleefully, he nodded and followed Anastasia to Elliot’s table.


    Seeing how Anastasia’wasing over, Erica could not help the hint of revolt that shed across


    her gaze, as she thought that a high and mighty man like Elliot wouldn’t even spare an extra nce


    at Anastasia, like he did to herself.


    Hearing the footsteps, Elliot finally drew his gaze from his phone, He coincidentally saw Anastasia


    sitting down together with a man opposite him. It was the same man that was chatting happily along


    with her just now.


    “President Presgrave, this is Mr. Alex Hunter. He’s responsible for the financial department in my


    dad’spany.” Then, she continued, “And this is mypany’s boss, Mr. Elliot Presgrave.”


    “Hello, Mr. Presgrave,” Alex courteously greeted.


    “Hello.” Raising his eyebrows slightly, Elliot gave off a feeling of a sessful man that nobody at the


    venue could match up to.


    “Anastasia, have you seen Mr. Presgrave at thepany before?” Erica asked smilingly, as she


    thought that a normal employee wouldn’t have any chances to catch a glimpse of the boss.


    Anastasia sneered in response. “President Presgrave is extremely busy. How would I be able to see


    him?”


    Meanwhile, Elliot was looking at Anastasia with his deep gaze as she spun tales. At that instant, he


    could not help the loving smile that yed on his lips.
