Chapter 315 He Did It Deliberately


    Elliot was staring at theputer screen with his thoughts wandering around. He was recalling Anastasia’s cheerful smile toward


    Alex the day before. With that, he did not intend to exin to her about his flower gift to Aliona this morning as well as his lunch


    with her.


    He simply did what Anastasia had done as she had made no mention of her meeting with Alex the day before.


    He needed to make her feel insecure at times.


    Their encounter in the restaurant today wasn’t a coincidence either. He was the one who instructed Rey to find where she was.


    After knowing she was having lunch with Felicia at the restaurant across the road, Aliona happened to invite Elliot for lunch,


    hence he epted it and suggested the same restaurant.


    At this moment, his office phone rang, and he answered it. “Hello?”


    “Hello, President Presgrave. The Department of Design is having a meeting. Do you want to join?” Felicia asked.


    “Sure. | will attend,” he nonchntly replied. After he hung up the phone, his gaze twitched, as if he was thinking of something.


    He was really interested to know whether Anastasia would be jealous.


    At the Department of Design, Felicia immediately called Anastasia after finishing her conversation with Elliot.


    “lll be there in a while, Felicia,” Anastasia’s voice resonated from the other end of the call.


    “Just to remind you, Anastasia, that President Presgrave will be attending the meeting as well.”


    Hearing that, her body stiffened. He is joining the meeting too? Is he doing so for Aliona and trying to mesmerize her in every


    possible way?N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    Then, Anastasia took a deep breath and walked toward the conference room with her notebook in her hand.


    Aliona had already taken her seat in the conference room. She had everyone''s attention since she entered the room because


    she now had a new identity: Elliot''s new lover.


    When Anastasia stepped into the room, everyone’s gaze was drawn to her—some were sympathetic, some were mocking, and


    others were simply rejoicing in her misfortune. She, like Aliona, had taken on a new identity: she was the pitiful old me who


    had been abandoned by Elliot.


    Anastasia walked right to thest seat and sat down. Knowing that everyone was staring at her, she lowered her head and


    yed with her phone.


    Alice couldn''t help but sneer. “Why are you sitting at the back, Anastasia?”


    At this instant, the door was opened again and an imposing figure stepped in. It was Elliot making his entrance.


    He was dressed simply but elegantly in a white shirt and pants. Walking with his long legs, he exuded such amanding


    presence that the entire conference room fell silent.


    Then, he took a seat next to Aliona after surveying the room. The corners of her lips curved when she saw this.


    Anastasia was sitting behind and raised her head to take a nce before quickly retracting her gaze. All she saw was his


    attractive side face while he was telling Felicia, “Let’s start.”


    Felicia began the agenda for today’s meeting after letting out a light cough. She began by reviewing the current month’s market


    study report, then moved on to the popr elements in the mainstream market.


    Throughout her presentation, Elliot remained silent. His gaze scanned the room before settling on the woman seated in thest


    seat behind him. Her head was bowed, her eyes hidden behind her longshes, as if he were looking at a painting. He couldn’t


    see the expression on her face, though.


    Sensing his gaze, she pretended to be emotionless as she bit her pen lid without looking at him.


    As he felt her intention, his lips pursed as he seemed to sense her resentment. Great. This is what | wanted.


    “Let''s give Anastasia a big round of apuse. Her designed products are always the most popr.” Felicia began pping.


    Several pping sounds followed.


    “I have a lot to learn from Anastasia,” Aliona said with a smile.


    She had to be friendly to Anastasia, or at least appeared to be so, because she needed to show Elliot her kind and generous


    side.


    Alice, on the other hand, was filled with jealousy. She had always been unwilling to ept that Anastasia’s designs were way


    above hers.


    “Do you have anything to add, President Presgrave?” Felicia smilingly asked Elliot.


    “No. Let’s end the meeting now. Aliona,e to my office.” He left right away after finishing his words.
