    Chapter 233 Show Me Some Respect


    “That was a sports car worth a few million! If I had caused so much as a scratch on it, I 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.


    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, I 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 a


    laughingstock 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! I 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, I applied for a leaveter in the afternoon, and I’m ready to make a move anytime.”


    “Really? I’ll pick you up then since I 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.
