    “It’s the annual board meeting. It is of the utmost importance, so do take a day off and attend,” Francis


    said solemnly.


    Since she didn’t have much nned for the day as well, Anastasia called Felicia to request a day off


    before driving over to Francis’pany.


    At around 10:00AM, she entered the conference room that was located in hispany to join the rest of


    the attendees. Alex was seated next to her for the board meeting and although he was of a young age,


    all the directors were full of praise for him as he was indeed capable and had made significant


    contributions to thepany.


    He fought for a ce on the board with his capabilities, but his attention today was captured by


    Anastasia. She wore a white shirt with a ck skirt, which was both simple and elegant. With her long


    hair draped behind her, she looked stunning.


    Anastasia was merely ying the role of an audience at the meeting as she listened to her father’s


    presentation of theirtest project. Elliot’s name came to mind as she listened since this project was


    obtained with his assistance.


    Meanwhile, Elliot was with Rey in the office on the eighth floor of Bourgeois Jewelry Atelier. He dialed


    Anastasia’s office number as soon as he sat down, but it went unanswered.


    What is she doing?


    Then, he took out his phone and dialed her number, which went unanswered as well. He was starting to


    be annoyed. This woman is not picking up my call now?


    “Check to see whether Anastasia is in her office,” he instructed Rey while sitting in front of a stack of


    documents.


    Rey immediately went straight to the Department of Design and after enquiring Anastasia’s assistant,


    Grace, he learned that Anastasia had taken a day off.


    He ryed this information to Elliot. With that, Elliot immediately gave Felicia a call to ask about this.


    “Anastasia said she’ll be going to her father’spany,” she answered honestly. This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    Hearing that, Elliot’s face darkened because he remembered Alex, who was in


    Tillman Constructions too.


    Alex was both Francis’ right hand and his most trusted subordinate. Francis had already begun training


    Alex to oversee allpany affairs for Alex to be Anastasia’s assistant when she took thepany over


    in the future.


    In addition to that, Elliot had also discovered Alex’s feelings toward Anastasia since the previous Tillman


    Constructions’ annual event.


    Both Alex and Anastasia had previously gone on a dinner date and he even sent her loving messages as


    well, but she still happily went to see him.


    The more he thought about it, the more dissatisfied Elliot became. He was putting in all his efforts to


    court her, but she didn’t reciprocate and even turned herself to another man!


    “President Presgrave, are you going to Tillman Constructions to look for Miss Tillman?” Rey asked


    curiously.


    It was something Elliot would normally do, but he was hesitant to lower his ego today. A rtionship


    should be a two-way street; if he was the only one making an effort, nothing woulde of it.


    “I’m not going to,” he replied with his face looking solemn.


    Meanwhile, at Tillman Constructions, Anastassa was having lunch with her father together with the other


    shareholders. Due to the meeting, her phone had been on silent mode earlier and it was only now that


    she was able to check it. A few missed calls appeared on her screen, and seeing that, she couldn’t help


    but to be surprised.


    Elliot called? Why did he call?


    She considered returning his call, but after a brief hesitation, she decided not to because there appeared


    to be nothing urgent.


    After the meal, she wanted to return to work, but Francis insisted on taking her to the new project with


    him, so she had no choice but to oblige and apany him to the site. Alex was with her the entire day


    and he appeared to be more excited and happy than usual.


    M


    When they were at the site, her helmet didn’t seem to be properly buckled, so he helped her with it. She


    shyly allowed him to do so since it was a windy day and the wind was constantly blowing through her


    hair. Her skin appeared fair and smooth in the bright sunlight and along with her red lips, they made Alex


    lose his heart to her.


    “Thank you,” Anastasia gratefully said.


    “You’re wee.” Alex’s burning gaze was locked on her and he could not take his eyes off her any


    more for the rest of the day.


    Anastasia, on the other hand, was too preupied with helping her father to notice Alex’s persistent


    gaze.
