    Chapter 209


    After all, her son had a handsome face.


    “Why does he look like him? Can’t he look like me?” Anastasia mumbled in dismay. Why would her


    son take after Elliot’s looks?


    Meanwhile, the poor child didn’t know that his own mother wasining about him.


    After sending her son to school the next morning, Anastasia didn’t return to thepany. Instead,


    she went to the shop. Just as she got out of the car, she saw a row of luxurious cars parked in front


    of Bourgeois Jewelry Atelier. The few ateliers next to it had no business, while Bourgeois’ gship


    store was currently flooded with customers. Not only that, every customer who came out of the shop


    carried a bag.


    Anastasia wanted to look for the shop manager, Miss Chastain, but thetter was so upied that


    Anastasia couldn’t even spot her. In fact, she was busy transferring the products, and they were


    short of many high-end pieces!


    Therefore, Anastasia could only return to thepany first. When she arrived, Anastasia saw Erica


    sitting in the lobby, but thetter pulled a cold expression and pretended not to know her. With that,


    k-walked to the elevator. The moment she arrived at the office, Felicia quickly came up to her.


    “Good job, Anastasia! Your family and friends have been a huge support!” Felicia bent down slightly


    and praised in a whisper.


    “Huh?” Anastasia didn’t know what she meant by that.


    “I heard that the shop you selected is doing really well! Although it’s only been a few days into the


    month, our sales have exceeded two million!”


    Anastasia was a little surprised, so she bit her lip and denied, “They are not my friends and family,


    though.”


    “Alice’s team has only umted four to five million sales. I’m sure you’ll be securing the


    associate director’s position this time!”


    “I-I’m just doing my best. I’m not trying to aim for the associate director’s position or anything,”


    replied Anastasia helplessly. She just wanted to get her sry increment!


    If that position didn’te with a sry increment, she wouldn’t have even applied.


    Alice pushed the door open and entered the office with a long face shortly after Felicia left. Once


    she arrived, she said mockingly, “Anastasia, didn’t we agree not to depend on our family and


    friends? Why did you do it?”


    Anastasia blinked her eyes at her question. Isn’t she using the same method as well? How dare she


    use me?


    “I’m not depending on my family and friends. They are just normal customers.”


    “Hah! Who are you trying to fool? Some of the customers who went to your shop are major


    shareholders of Presgrave Group. There were also some high-ranking managers there. Did you


    think I wouldn’t find out that you used your connections to bring in President Presgrave’s family and


    friends!!


    Anastasia’s mind instantly exploded. As she stared nkly at Alice for a few seconds, she was


    rendered speechless. Now, she finally understood why there was arge number of customers at


    her shop spending millions. Did all of theme from Elliot?


    “You promised a fairpetition, Anastasia. Aren’t you afraid of beingughed at for cheating?”


    “If you call this cheating, why can you do it but I can’t?” Anastasia retorted.


    “You…” Alice huffed as a shade of crimson crept up her neck and her face.


    Anastasia didn’t bother arguing with her anymore. Since Alice wasn’t particrly fond of her as well,


    Anastasia stood up and said, “I have to work now. Please leave.”


    “You will regret this!” Alice spat before stomping out the door.


    Once Alice left, Anastasia wrapped her arms around her head in frustration. Why did Elliot help her?


    She didn’t want to owe him any favors!


    With that, Anastasia dialed the number to Elliot’s office, but no one picked up.


    Instead of giving up, Anastasia called Elliot’s personal number. This time, the call was answered.


    “Hello?” His baritone and husky voice sounded as charming as ever.


    However, that didn’t affect Anastasia’s impolite tone as she scolded in frustration, “Are you the one


    helping me pull customers to my shop, Elliot Presgrave?!”


    “Do you think I have so much free time on my hands?” Elliot tossed the question back at her. Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    “Don’t lie to me. Someone recognized the customers that went to the store and said they were


    shareholders and managers from yourpany.” Anastasia exposed him mercilessly.


    After remaining silent for a while, Elliot uttered indifferently, “That’s their choice. It has nothing to do


    with me.”


    Elliot was obviously lying, for he didn’t want to admit that he had helped her.


    Once again, Anastasia was speechless.
