Chapter 155


    At that moment, Rey knocked on the door from outside and reported, “President Presgrave, Miss Seymour is here.”


    A frown appeared between Elliot’s brows when he heard that. “Let her in.”


    Thereafter, Hayley came in, shing a charming smile at him as she sweetly announced, “Elliot, I’ve brought you some


    refreshments.”Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    As a matter of fact, she specially came at that time as she had nned to invite Elliot out for dinner.


    “Please don’t give me all these again. | don’t like desserts,” Elliot muttered as he leaned his back against the chair. The white


    shirt on him made him seem like a celibate, and he lookednguid and charming at the moment.


    Hayley’s heart started to race at that. No woman could resist such a dazzling and elegant man.


    And so, she walked toward Elliot step by step. Anastasia will be arriving at any moment now, Hayley thought to herself, as she


    had been keeping track of the time.


    Currently, Anastasia, who had been informed by May to go to Elliot’s office, did not suspect anything and was on her way


    upstairs. She merely wondered to herself the reason the man wished to see her. Could it be that he is going to use work as an


    excuse to scold me? she pondered.


    Meanwhile, Hayley, who had arrived by Elliot’s side, suddenly held her forehead and hissed.


    “What''s wrong?” Elliot rose up and examined her.


    Just then, Hayley seemed to hear the sound of ady’s high heels tapping on the floor, and coupled with the fact that it was


    almost the time that she had expected, she pretended to scowl in pain. The very next second, she fell into Elliot''s embrace.


    He supported her with his long arms, so she took the opportunity to wrap her arms around his waist. “Elliot, | feel so dizzy...”


    “Let me help you to the couch so that you can rest.” He attempted to keep his distance from her, but she tightened her arms


    around him and refused to let go. Then, she raised her head with her eyes shut and mumbled, “Elliot, is there something in my


    eye? Could you check it for me? It hurts!”


    Upon hearing that, Elliot narrowed his eyes and leaned in to take a look.


    At that moment, the door of the president''s office flung open. Anastasia didn’t knock the door before she opened it, as she


    thought that Elliot would be waiting to have a word with her.


    As soon as the door was opened, what came into view was a man and a woman intimately hugging each other. Elliot leaned in at


    Hayley’s face, while thetter raised her head with her eyes shut, as if she was eagerly waiting for the man’s kiss.


    Anastasia’s eyes widened. In the end, she stared at them for a couple of seconds before she calmly


    said, “Sorry for intruding. Please carry on.”


    With that, she turned on her heel and mmed the door behind her before she left.


    All that had happened in mere seconds, and it was so fast that Elliot didn’t manage to return to his senses. When he finally made


    sense of the situation, he immediately released his grip on Hayley’s shoulder. Forcefully removing her arms that were around his


    waist, he urgently dered to her, “I''ll get Rey to send you to the hospital.”


    Thereafter, Elliot pushed her away from him. It wasn’t a hard push, in fact, but Hayley went along with the force and deliberately


    fell and slumped on the floor.


    “Ah!” she shrieked.


    Elliot, who had barely arrived at the door withrge strides, looked behind and saw that Hayley had fallen. He clenched his fists,


    but he still turned back to help her up.


    “Are you alright?”


    Ou


    “I''m fine. Elliot, what''s wrong?” Hayley asked, intentionally feigning innocence.


    “Nothing,” he replied, then used thendline andmanded, “Rey,e over.”


    Soon, Rey knocked on the door and entered the room, and Elliot ordered, “Send Miss Seymour to the hospital for a checkup and


    then send her home.”


    For Hayley, her n had seeded since she had reached her goal. The scene earlier must have made Anastasia


    misunderstand that Elliot was going to kiss me!


    “Elliot, | want to have dinner with you,” Hayley mumbled begrudgingly.


    “I''m not avable tonight. Let’s have dinner some other time.” After he said that, he grabbed his phone that was on the desk and


    hurriedly strode out. He seemed to be in a fluster.


    Before long, Elliot showed up at the Department of Design. When he arrived at Anastasia’s office, he saw that her seat was


    empty, so he asked Grace, who was outside, “Where’s Anastasia?”


    “Miss Tillman just got off work early. Is there anything you need from her, President Presgrave?” Grace asked nervously.


    Elliot remained impassive and he casually replied, “No.”


    Then, he strode off and he used his phone to give a certain woman a call on his way out.


    At that moment, Anastasia was in a cab on the way to pick up her son. Upon hearing her phone ringing, she took her phone and


    nced at the screen. The corner of her lips curling upward, she snorted and decided to not pick up the call.
