Chapter 7


    Felicia immediately coughed. “Okay, the subject of today’s meeting is thepetition that we’re


    participating in. First, congrattions to the two shortlisted designers, Alice and Anastasia.” Anastasia


    raised her head and met Alice’s provocative gaze. If she won this time, thepany would give her a


    large bonus. Hence, they were rivals. Felicia immediately analyzed the situation of thispetition. As


    an experienced designer, she was very confident in her work. While Anastasia was staring at the table,


    she suddenly felt eyes on her. Judging from the direction, it was undoubtedly Elliot’s. Is this man really


    so free? Why is he staring at me all day long? Anastasia’s mother sacrificed her life for him. To be


    honest, Anastasia really didn’t want to see him. Although he was only five years old at the time, and


    she couldn’t me him for anything, she still had a kind of resentment in her heart. “Anastasia, tell me


    your opinion.” Felicia suddenly cued her. Anastasia was daydreaming just now, and now she had no


    idea what Felicia was talking about. She raised her head and looked at Felicia in confusion. “Uh…


    Which aspect are you referring to?” Felicia’s face immediately turned ugly. How dare someone


    daydream at my meeting? “Anastasia, although you are a designer dispatched from the headquarters,


    you shouldn’t be too arrogant and disregard me. You didn’t listen to what I said just now, did you?”


    Felicia was a harsh woman and wanted to teach Anastasia a lesson. The other designers looked at


    Anastasia as if they were watching her make a fool of herself, while Anastasia’s face was also a little


    hot. While she didn’t know what to say, a low male voice sounded. “Tell me what the unique selling


    point of your design is.” Elliot was giving her a reminder. When it came to her work, Anastasia


    immediately became confident. “My work this time uses tinum, which is the most suitable material


    for iys, with the addition of rhodium and padium. Its gloss, hardness, and durability are very good,


    and it is also a rare material. It holds a superior connotation, it’s not easy to depreciate, it’s guaranteed


    not to change color, it has good stability, and it is suitable for collection purposes. My target customers


    are people who like to collect and buy luxury goods.” After Anastasia finished speaking, she suddenly


    caught the deep gaze of the man opposite her, and she at once avoided it. “In short, it’s expensive!”


    Alice sneered. “I’m not the same as you. I focus on fashion elements. Nowadays, trendse and go.


    I think my work is more suitable for the market.” Anastasia pursed her lips and smiled. “Each of our


    work has its own selling point.” Soon, the meeting finally ended. Elliot only came to listen and did not


    express his opinion too much. “Okay, the meeting is over,” Felicia announced. “Anastasia, stay here.


    The others may leave,” Elliot said suddenly. Anastasia was about to take a sip of water to moisten her


    throat when she almost choked on hearing this. She was instantly surrounded by envious and hateful


    gazes, especially Alice, who red at her resentfully as if she had seduced Elliot by some dirty means.


    Anastasia was also lost for words. Can’t this man see my situation in thepany? I’m being scorned


    by other people, and he still has to fan the gossip by doing this! After everyone left, Anastasia leaned


    against her chair and said coldly, “Is there something you need, President Presgrave?” “Why didn’t you


    ept the house I gave you yesterday?” Elliot narrowed his eyes and stared at her. “Why should I? I


    already said that I will not ept any repayment from the Presgraves.” Anastasia emphasized again.


    “You should think about your son. The ce I chose has great facilities that can support him. There is a


    much better kindergarten for the elites in themunity. It is also safer and more suitable for you to


    live with your child.” Elliot left his status as a superior president and turned into a salesperson. What he


    said was very attractive to Anastasia because, as a mother, it was her biggest wish to provide her son


    with the best education and environment. “No need. I can give my son the best.” Anastasia disagreed.


    For a businessman like him, he couldn’t realize that the most precious thing was not material wealth


    but emotionalpanionship. As long as her son was with her, even if she lived in less than ster


    conditions, she would be happiest. Frowning, Elliot stared at the ruthless woman and felt troubled. “In


    the future, if it’s not for work purposes, please don’t look for me again.” After Anastasia finished


    speaking, she picked up her documents, then got up and left. In the afternoon, Anastasia received a


    call from her father, who asked her to go home for dinner tomorrow. He also said he wanted to see her.


    Thus, she agreed, thinking that she needed to go home for a visit. At the president’s office, Elliot sat


    gracefully in his seat, listening to the work report of the assistant beside him. “Go check the information


    regarding the father of Anastasia’s son for me.” Since materialpensation did not impress


    Anastasia, Elliot could only start in other areas. “Very well.” Rey immediately went off to investigate. At


    this moment, Elliot’s phone rang, so he picked it up and saw that it was from Hayley. “Hello,” he


    answered as gently as possible. “Elliot, are you busy with work? Can I have dinner with you tonight?”


    “Okay, I’ll book a restaurant.” Elliot agreed. “Then I’ll wait for you to pick me up.” Hayley was excited.


    “Sure.” Elliot hung up the phone while Hayley’s face appeared in his mind. For some reason, Hayley


    didn’t feel anything like the woman from that day to him. He vaguely remembered the woman that


    night. Her lips were unbelievably soft, and her body had a faint fragrance. Although she cried


    throughout the whole process, her voice was appealing, while Hayley’s voice was a little too sharp.


    Since it had been five years, anyone would undergo significant changes. Thus, Elliot just wanted to


    make up for her. After all, what he did that night caused irreversible damage to her life. At a fine dining


    restaurant, Hayley came in a new Chanel dress, dressing to the nines. Using expensive cosmetics and


    the skill of a makeup artist, she enhanced her rather average looks, but she was still not eye-catching


    enough. She belonged to the category of an average pretty girl. She was not ugly, but not stunning


    either. However, tonight, she was the most enviable woman in the entire restaurant. Sitting opposite her


    was a top-level man who was handsome, elegant, charming, and exuded a regal aura. “Elliot, cheers.”


    Hayley took the initiative to raise her ss and looked at the man opposite her eagerly. Although she


    had known him for almost three weeks, Elliot had always treated her civilly and politely. However, what


    Hayley wanted was far more than that, for she wanted his heart, body, and eventually, to be his wife.


    Now, because she had gotten his attention and everything he gave her, she was absolutely terrified of


    losing it all. She felt delighted to be wealthy. What she wanted could be delivered to her in the next


    second. Her favorite new Chanel dresses could be delivered directly to her door for her to choose from.


    If she wanted a specific bag, she could get one in every color avable. If she wanted diamond jewelry,


    all she needed to do was pick her favorite. This feeling was like floating in the clouds, and Hayley never


    wanted to fall back to the ground again as long as she lived.Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.
