Chapter 233 Show Me Some Respect


    “That was a sports car worth a few million! If | had caused so much as a scratch on it, | could kiss my car and money goodbye,”


    Anastasia replied, knowing well about the risk.


    Elliot was rendered speechless. “Screw that. Just drive like you’re supposed to. I''ll pay for the damage if the worstes to the


    worst.” His face darkened before he asked thedy on the inside if she had forgotten who was sitting right next to her.


    Oh,e on, I’m someone who is going to ensure everything turns out as a sess for her. Has she really forgotten who is


    sitting beside her now?


    “What''s wrong? Are you getting scared of being my passenger?” Anastasia chuckled in irony.This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Although Elliot felt helpless about thedy’s mischief, he somehow felt happy on the inside because no one else had made him


    feel so rxed in a while. When they stopped at the traffic light, Anastasia turned to the man and said, “President Presgrave,


    there is a box of tissue paper that they gave as a gift. Could you please give me two pieces of tissue paper? Thank you.”


    Elliot then reached for the box and gave thedy two pieces of tissue paper. With sweat covering her forehead, Anastasia


    immediately grabbed them and wiped her forehead just as the man sitting next to her chuckled at the sight of her rare true self.


    Not long after that, Anastasia anxiously drove her car to the basement car park at Bourgeois. With Elliot''s guidance, she


    sessfully parked her car in the VIP lot, which was among the lots where Elliot usually parked his car in.


    “This is going to be your parking lot from now on,” Elliot said as he opened the car door and stepped out of the vehicle.


    When Anastasia stepped out of her car, she started to feel a soreness in her back and shoulders, her legs feeling a little numb.


    Thus, she swung her shoulders in circles to rx the muscles in her arms, kicking to stretch her legs at the same time.


    Meanwhile, Elliot, who saw that, couldn’t help but look the other way with a chuckle, thinking he shouldn’t embarrass her by


    letting him see herughing at her.


    As soon as the elevator arrived on the sixth floor, Anastasia stepped out of it and looked back at the man behind her, meeting his


    gaze by coincidence. In that instant, she felt her heart pounding rapidly just as she decided to walk away immediately. Then, she


    entered Felicia’s office and told her that she had just collected her new car earlier. Also, she invited Felicia, along with both of


    their assistants, for lunch the next day at noon to celebrate her new car. Momentster, Anastasia returned to her office shortly


    before Alice entered in a hostile manner. “Where is the draft, Anastasia?”


    “I talked to Felicia about that, and I’m allowed to submit it tomorrow.”


    “That’s just procrastination. You’re abusing your power because you think you''re given the privilege to do so.” Alice then propped


    herself with her arms on the table, ridiculing Anastasia. “Don’t ever think that you''re going to win it all after seducing President


    Presgrave and stealing his heart.”


    “Well, it takes a lot to win it all. Do you know that? But speaking of that, | don’t think my capability is outmatched by yours in any


    way!” Anastasia folded her arms, refuting Alice’s words.


    “A true woman never relies on a man to achieve sess. You''re a disgrace to all thedies!” Alice humiliated Anastasia.


    “Watch your mouth,dy! You''d better show me some respect.” Anastasia stood up and red at Alice.


    “If you want somebody else’s respect, you’re going to have to make sure you behave yourself. Everyone in ourpany knows


    that President Presgrave has a girlfriend, but you won''t stop hanging around with him every day. Do you know you look like a


    filthydy to me, Anastasia?” Alice fixed her gaze upon Anastasia in a sarcastic manner, yet her eyes were filled with envy and


    jealousy.


    On the other hand, Anastasia was aware of how her rtionship with Elliot was viewed to be aughingstock in herpany,


    but only she knew that she didn’t do anything to seduce Elliot. Therefore, she had no choice but to bear with the


    misunderstanding and disdain that everyone had toward her.


    “Get out of my face! | still have work to do.” Anastasia immediately cut the argument short as Alice walked away satisfactorily.


    After all, she only swung by Anastasia’s office to get on thetter’s nerves, trying to y on her emotions.


    Soon, Anastasia gave Oliver a call fifteen minutes before she could leave work and discussed the dinner they were going to have


    togetherter that night.


    “Anastasia, | applied for a leaveter in the afternoon, and I’m ready to make a move anytime.”


    “Really? I''ll pick you up then since | just got my new car today.” Anastasia finished her words and mocked herself. “Well, that is, if


    you''re not afraid to let a new female driver give you a ride.”


    “No worries, I’m pretty gutsy. I''lle to your office right now.”


    “Sure. I''ll be waiting then.” Anastasia smiled and hung up the call.


    As soon as Oliver arrived, Anastasia descended to the basement car park with him. Then, Oliver rode shotgun just as Anastasia


    switched her phone to hands-free mode and yed some music. After the first time she drove on the road with Elliot by her side,


    she felt less nervous now that she was driving again, not to mention the fact that it was past peak hour. Therefore, her driving


    journey was smooth all the way until she arrived at her son’s kindergarten.
