Chapter 171


    “Uh... Can I return it?”


    “Fruits are non-returnable goods! Don''t worry, miss. We provide top-grade Musang King so it''s definitely of good quality.” sa


    “| know that and | do trust that your goods are of good quality, but | don’t need that many.”


    “Miss, | really can’t process a return for this. Fruits are non-returnable once sold!” On the other end, the owner tried hard to


    express his keenness toplete the sale.


    Meanwhile, Anastasia was at a loss for what to do. “Alright, then. I''ll make a phone call and get back to you.”


    As soon as Anastasia put down her cell phone, she instantly grabbed thendline and dialed the number to the office of a


    specific man.


    “Hello?” The man answered the phone in a low voice.


    “Did you order me a truckload of Musang King durians?” Anastasia questioned him immediately.


    “Yup. You mentioned that you wanted the freedom to have durians whenever you crave them, so I’ll help you achieve this wish


    today. You can have as many of them as you want.” Elliot spoke up and implied that the durians today were his treat.


    However, Anastasia was quite speechless and she thought, Doesn’t he realize that one can’t have too many durians? It’s fine to


    have some asionally, but if too much is consumed in one day then there are a lot of side effects that would ur


    subsequently. The milder symptoms would be a sore throat and as for the worst-case scenario, one would even experience


    constipation!


    “| think you should return it. | can’t finish that many. | just had onest night so | can’t have too many at a time.”


    “Why not?” On the other end, the man clearly knew nothing about durians. Although he was a knowledgeable man, there were


    also some things that he was totally clueless


    of.


    “That’s because durians can cause sore throats. | can’t have too much.” Anastasia could only try her best to exin, but the


    other side effect sounded slightly indecent so she


    didn’t mention that.


    “| never return any item that I’ve paid for. You can decide how you want to deal with it.”


    “But... You...”


    “| have a meeting to attend now.” After Elliot said that, he hung up on her.


    Meanwhile, Anastasia had to return the call of the fruit store owner, yet the purchaser of the items refused to pay heed to her


    words, so she was in a dilemma at the moment. In the end, she thought to herself, | guess I''ll just treat everyone to durians, then.


    Subsequently, she reached out and dialed Felicia’s number to exin the situation. On the other end of the line, Felicia was


    ted. “This is a simple matter. I''ll arrange for everyone in the office to have one each.”


    “Okay. Please make the arrangements, then, but don’t say that this is my treat. Let them know that it’s President Presgrave’s


    treat.”


    Upon hearing that, Felicia burst intoughter. “Are you sure that you want to let them know it’s his treat?”


    “Yes, just say that. | don’t want to take this credit,” Anastasia insisted.


    “Sure! We''ll leave it at that, then.”


    Ten minutester, the fruit store owner happily distributed durians by the entrance of the office, and every staff member of the


    company who walked past was given one. This went on and no one was left out until every piece of fruit was gone.


    After all that, Grace came back upstairs in good spirits and she held two durians in her hands. Anastasia expressed her gratitude


    as Grace excitedly mentioned, “Anastasia, do you know who treated us to this? It’s President Presgrave! It’s the Musang King


    variety too. Everyone’s so happy.”N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    At that moment, Anastasia tried to stifle herughter. “That’s great! I’m quite happy too.”


    After Grace had walked out of the room, Anastasia clutched at her stomach and ced her head on the tabletop. She was


    consumed with uncontrobleughter and she nearly fell to the ground. | wonder what Elliot''s expression will be like if he finds


    out about this?!


    Meanwhile, in the meeting room at the Presgrave Group, the room was solemnly silent as Elliot sat at the head of the table. He


    gave out an air of dominance seen in a leader and under the illumination of the projectormp, he clearly gave out the feeling of


    a strong president.


    The people in attendance today were all the upper management team of the Presgrave Group, and each one of them was


    involved in running variousrge-scale projects all over the world. They had to report back to Elliot on the progress of their


    projects daily and there was no room for any errors or omissions.


    The Presgrave Group was involved in various financial schemes worldwide, so thepany was, in fact, much more than just a


    leading business in the country. After Elliot''s appointment as the president, he had kept close control of the development of the


    company. He ended up leading the Presgrave Group toward a much brighter future than ever.


    Despite the Presgrave Group going through several financial crises, the giant corporation remained strong and continued to sail


    through the waves of the corporate world.


    The meeting ended at 11.30 AM and Elliot went back to his office after that. At that moment, Rey stood by his side with pursed


    lips, and he looked as if he had something to report on.


    Elliot nced at him and questioned, “What''s wrong?”
