Chapter 314 He Would Be Hers in No Time


    “Anastasia, it''s not a big deal. It''s perfectly normal for a superior to have a meal with his subordinate. Who knows that they may


    even be rtives?” Felicia attempted to console her.


    Anastasia smiled in response. Acting as if she wasn’t affected, she answered, “They are not rtives. Aliona’s father was a close


    friend of Elliot''s father.”


    That stumped Felicia had no idea what to say. “Let’s eat.”


    While eating, Anastasia feigned that she was alright too. In fact, she believed she was genuinely unaffected and was not merely


    pretending. It’s Elliot''s choice to date anyone he wanted; it’s none of my business.


    “The uingpetition is quite pressing. Do you have any ideas?”


    “Yes, I’ve already sketched the first draft and will give it to you after some modifications.”


    “That’s great. We''ll try to get the product out before the jewelry show. | hope that you will be able to make a name for yourself


    through this.”


    “I''ll do my best.” Anastasia felt the same way. She wished she could attain some achievement in this industry and carve a name


    for herself.


    Throughout the meal, she kept looking at the private room subconsciously and imagining things.


    Considering Elliot''s flirting character and Aliona’s beauty, of course he wouldy his hands on her. Perhaps he was nning how


    to take advantage of Aliona.


    As a designer, she had a surprisingly rich imagination and started picturing Elliot pressing Aliona against the wall, trying to kiss


    her. The image she pictured was extremely vivid.


    “I''m full.” Anastasia had no appetite and had only a few bites of the food on the table.


    “We''ll go back now then! I’m stuffed too.” Felicia wanted to bring her away from this restaurant.


    In the private room, Aliona was happily supporting her chin with her hand on the table in the private room. “I’m so happy.”


    “| promised your father that I''ll take good care of you in thepany.”


    “Thank you, Elliot. I''ll rely on you in the future! Oh, were you the one who sent me the flowers this morning?”


    He responded with a nod. “It was to wee you as a new employee in ourpany.”


    “Thank you. | love it!” Despite her broad smile, Aliona was disappointed in her heart. Doesn’t he have another meaning for


    sending the flowers?


    With that, she intentionally asked, “By the way, everyone in thepany is spreading rumors about us. Do you think | need to


    exin to them?”


    “You should if it affects your work.” Elliot appeared to be deep in thought as he looked out the window.


    “No, it doesn’t affect me at all! I’m not exining then.” She smiled, her lips pursed. Such a misunderstanding suited her


    perfectly, and she craved more of it!


    When Anastasia crossed the road after leaving the restaurant, her thoughts wandered and Felicia had to hold her across the


    pathway. Once she reached her office, she heaved a deep breath and sat on her seat. All she could think about was Elliot with


    nothing else about work on her mind. Why am | thinking about him?


    At this moment, Grace knocked on the door and entered. In hushed tones, she said, “President Presgrave had lunch together


    with Aliona earlier, Anastasia. Everyone thinks they''re dating. Are you all right?”


    Hearing that, Anastasia sneered in her heart. Well, he’s making it so obvious to everyone! He sent her flowers and took her out


    for lunch, not fearing that the entirepany would know. Is he now publicly showing his interest in Aliona?


    “Don''t tell me such matters anymore. I’m not interested.” Anastasia raised her head and reminded Grace.


    To that, Grace puffed her cheeks and replied, “Okay, noted.”Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Grace left after that. Anastasia then rubbed her brows, attempting to chase her messy thoughts away so that she could focus on


    her work.


    At about 3.00PM, Anastasia received Felicia’s call. “We''ll have a meeting in five minutes.”


    On the other hand, Aliona was admiring the roses in her office, her chin resting on her hand. Though they were meant to


    wee her, she wondered if they meant something else—Elliot was interested in her.


    After all, he did not reject her invitation for lunch earlier. Perhaps | overestimated how important Anastasia is to him.


    Furthermore, she was extremely confident in herself. Thus, sooner orter, he would be hers.


    In the president''s office.
