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.” s?


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


    “Miss, I 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!


    “I think you should return it. I can’t finish that many. I just had onest night so I 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. I 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.


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


    “But… You…”


    “I 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, I 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. I 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 thepany 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.”


    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. I 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 thepany. 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?”
