    However, this was the exception that Elliot couldn’t have no matter how much he wanted her…


    After Anastasia came out of the office, she breathed a sigh of relief. She really didn’t want to ept too


    much kindness from the man since she feared that she would not .. be able to repay him enough if she


    were to give herself up as coteral.


    In order not to get to that ce, she had to refuse wherever she could.


    As expected, the regr meeting held at 3:00PM that day was to introduce the airborne designer, Aliona


    Dora, to the rest of thepany. Despite Felicia making a formal introduction to the other workers, other


    than the male employees, the female ones were obviouslycking in enthusiasm as they weed her


    into the team. It was to be expected as beautiful women were naturally the enemies of other women.


    Furthermore, why would they be happy about having one morepetitor whose strength they didn’t


    know?


    “Hi, everyone! My name is Aliona Dora. I graduated from a design institute in Flor, and I specialize in


    jewelry design. I look forward to working together.” She herself did not expect the education she received


    from young would turn out to be one of her advantages in approaching Elliot.


    Alice was visibly more irritated now that there was another person who joined via personal connections


    when she wasn’t even done dealing with Anastasia.


    Anastasia was also feeling the pressure. Bourgeois would soon be holding a grand jewelry show in the


    early spring of the new year and it was her chance to show her talents. She, too, wanted to have this


    opportunity to show what she was capable of.


    “Alright, let’s talk about the jewelry show in early spring,” Felicia continued. “Since we have be one


    of the brands under QR, the jewelry show will be set up in the country. We must not miss this opportunity


    to show what we have in store during the show. Thepany will also provide utmost support to our


    designers to participate in thepetition.”


    She then added calmly, “This is a show worth millions of dors. It depends solely on your potential to


    win the race and be the one on top. I wish all of you the best of luck. The deadline will be at the end of


    this month.”


    After the meeting ended, Anastasia was in the middle of clearing the desk when Aliona came to greet her


    in a surprisingly friendly tone. “Hello, Miss Tillman. We


    met earlier in President Presgrave’s office.”


    “It was my fault for interrupting.” Anastasia smiled lightly.


    Aliona pressed her lips together and replied with a smile as well, “No worries. We were done talking by


    then.”


    Anastasia thought that she shouldn’t be too cold to the daughter of Elliot’s father’s friend, so she politely


    said, “Since we are colleagues now, I look forward to working together with you.”


    However, as soon as Anastasia left, Aliona’s eyes immediately darkened. She only came to thepany


    with one purpose in mind: she was going to be Elliot’s woman and marry him. She was fully


    prepared to sacrifice anything and everything else to achieve the purpose. She was even willing to


    sacrifice herself to Elliot, give birth to his child, and use the child to legally obtain the right to the


    inheritance.


    Riley had given her 2 years to get everything done. When the time came, Riley would get rid of Elliot and


    the entirety of the Presgrave Group would fall in the hands of Aliona and her child.


    Aliona was a child Riley had adopted from an orphanage. He had spent a lot of money to raise her. Not


    only did she learn all the advanced etiquette, she also


    graduated from a prestigious school and she was fluent in 4nguages. At the same time, in order to


    hide from the Presgrave Family’s investigation, Riley had made her a member of the Dora Family, and


    had presented her as Lucas’ illegitimate daughter to Elliot.


    Lucas was a close friend of Elliot’s father and unfortunately had a weakness that Riley had gotten hold


    of. He was the puppet Riley was using through Aliona to take over Presgrave Group.


    Since she wanted to repay Riley for raising her, Aliona listened to his words as though they were


    absolute. Her mission in life was to help her adoptive father regain the Presgrave Group.


    And Anastasia was, undoubtedly, the biggest obstacle in herpletion of the task.


    She decided to first be good friends with Anastasia, and after she had gained her trust, AlionaContent bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.


    would find an opportunity to let her disappear from Elliot’s side.


    Anastasia was sitting in the office since Felicia had asked her to solely focus on the uing jewelry


    show. Thepany was also putting great importance in the developing haute couture.


    Not long after that, Grace pushed the door open from outside and she came in with a cup of coffee in her


    hand. “Here, Anastasia. This is for you,” she said to Anastasia.


    · A frown began to appear on Anastasia’s face as she looked at the coffee before she


    asked, “Who is this from?”


    “Didn’t you know? Miss Dora has gotten all of us coffee. The coffee beans are freshly ground!”
