Chapter 117


    Anastasia arrived at the office at 2.00PM. She saw her trophy on the shelf when she walked past the hall of her department. For


    some reason, she still felt like the trophy didn’t belong to her. Did Elliot pull some strings to get me this? He’s the only one who


    knows the truth, and | can’t do anything if he doesn’t want to admit to anything.


    Awhile after she arrived in the office, someone came over and asked for her. A few staff members of some high-endpany


    that tailor-made evening gowns for their clients were there to see her. They had prepared three different dresses for Anastasia to


    try on. So, this is the mystery gift that Nigel was talking about earlier, huh? She didn’t know what to feel about it.


    It was true that Anastasia didn’t have the right formal outfit for such dinner parties, so she decided to ept Nigel’s offer. She


    picked a ssy-looking gray gown made of silk. It didn’t look too shy nor too simple-it fit what she was looking for. “Hello. Can |


    know the price of this dress?” she asked one of the staff members.


    “Oh! It was not too expensive. It costs about 10,000,” the person replied. She narrowed her eyes when she heard the answer. Is


    it really that cheap? This silk looks really expensive!


    After the staff members left her office, the three of them let out a long sigh as they got into the elevator. Thisdy’s boyfriend


    loves her so much! He forced us to say that this dress is worth 10,000 when it’s actually worth 1 million. Is he afraid that she


    wouldn''t ept his gift otherwise?


    Soon enough, Anastasia received a call from Nigel to check if she had taken the evening gown. “Thank you for preparing this


    outfit for me, Nigel. That was really thoughtful of you,” she uttered.


    “It''s no worries at all. This is my grandmother’s dinner party, so | hope that you enjoy it as well. Also, I’m looking for a ce in the


    building opposite your office. My new office will be located there if everything goes as nned,” he uttered.


    Anastasia immediately got up to stare out of her window. There was a new building that had only beenpleted a while ago.


    “You can do whatever you want since you''re rich,” she replied in a yful tone.


    “Okay. I''ll see you at dinner tomorrow night. | can’t wait to see how stunning you look in your dress.” Nigel sounded like he was


    busy with other things. “Okay! You go on with your work, then!” Anastasia didn’t want to bother him, and she was busy with her


    own duties as well.


    Meanwhile, Nigel stepped out of the building opposite Anastasia’s office after he ended the call. He took a look at his wristwatch


    before he realized that there was one more thing he had yet to do.


    He immediately hurried over to the most high-end mall in the city center. This was the only mall that sold all of the international


    jewelry brands, and he wanted to pick a diamond ring that fitted his taste. He was going to use it for his proposal.


    Elliot arrived at Presgrave Group for work that morning. He stood in front of hisrge window, dressed in a simple white shirt and


    straight-fitting cks. His aura fit his role as the leader of apany. Right then, Daniel knocked on the door before greeting


    Elliot politely. “I''ve arranged your dinner with the president of Benson Corporation,” Daniel said.


    “Okay!” Elliot nodded. Then, Daniel lowered his gaze for a while. He didn’t dare to look Elliot in the eye after what he had done


    with Hayley that night. Although Daniel hadn’t done it voluntarily, he still felt bad when he thought about Hayley and Elliot''s


    rtionship.


    Elliot nced at his wristwatch. He had intended to pay a visit to the Bourgeois Jewelry Atelier, but he didn’t have any time left as


    he had a client to meet in 30 minutes. Since when did | start thinking about this woman? | used to only think about work.


    Nowadays, I’m even thinking of her adorable son. For some reason, Elliot felt happy just thinking about how he would see her at


    his grandmother''s dinner the next day.


    Later that night, Anastasia had a good sleep with Jared in her arms. She knew that Jared enjoyed being with his grandfather, so


    she figured that she would get Francis to stay with Jared for another night during the charity dinner she had the next day.


    The charity dinner was hosted on a Friday in a seven-star hotel in the city center. Many important people from various industries


    had been invited, and many of them felt honored to receive an invitation. That afternoon, Anastasia was still busy working on her


    drafts in the office. She had already informed her dad that she would need him to care for Jared that night.


    She had just gotten into work when herndline began to ring. “Hello?” She picked the call up.


    “Do you need me to pick you up for the dinner party?” A man’s deep voice came from the other end.


    She rejected him without thinking twice. “No, thanks.”
