    Chapter 314


    “Anastasia, it’s not a big deal. It’s perfectly normal for a superior to have a meal with his subordinate.


    Who knows that they may even be rtives?” Felicia attempted to console her


    Anastasia smiled in response. Acting as if she wasn’t affected, she answered, “They are not rtives.


    Aliona’s father was a close friend of Elliot’s father.”


    That stumped Felicia had no idea what to say. “Let’s eat.”


    While eating, Anastasia feigned that she was alright too. In fact, she believed she was genuinely


    unaffected and was not merely pretending. It’s Elliot’s choice to date anyone he wanted; it’s none of my


    business.


    “The uingpetition is quite pressing. Do you have any ideas?”


    “Yes, I’ve already sketched the first draft and will give it to you after some modifications.”


    “That’s great. We’ll try to get the product out before the jewelry show. I hope that you will be able to make


    a name for yourself through this.”


    “I’ll do my best.” Anastasia felt the same way. She wished she could attain some achievement in this


    industry and carve a name for herself.


    Throughout the meal, she kept looking at the private room subconsciously and imagining things.


    Considering Elliot’s flirting character and Aliona’s beauty, of course he wouldy his hands on her.


    Perhaps he was nning how to take advantage of Aliona.


    As a designer, she had a surprisingly rich imagination and started picturing Elliot pressing Aliona against


    the wall, trying to kiss her. The image she pictured was extremely vivid


    “I’m full.” Anastasia had no appetite and had only a few bites of the food on the table.


    “We’ll go back now then! I’m stuffed too.” Felicia wanted to bring her away from this restaurant.


    In the private room, Aliona was happily supporting her chin with her hand on the table in the private


    room. “I’m so happy.”


    “I promised your father that I’ll take good care of you in thepany.” This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “Thank you, Elliot. I’ll rely on you in the future! Oh, were you the one who sent me the flowers this


    morning?”


    He responded with a nod. “It was to wee you as a new employee in ourpany.”


    “Thank you. I love it!” Despite her broad smile, Aliona was disappointed in her heart. Doesn’t he have


    another meaning for sending the flowers?


    With that, she intentionally asked, “By the way, everyone in thepany is spreading rumors about us.


    Do you think I need to exin to them?”


    “You should if it affects your work.” Elliot appeared to be deep in thought as he looked out the window.


    “No, it doesn’t affect me at all! I’m not exining then.” She smiled, her lips pursed. Such a


    misunderstanding suited her perfectly, and she craved more of it!


    When Anastasia crossed the road after leaving the restaurant, her thoughts wandered and Felicia had to


    hold her across the pathway. Once she reached her office, she heaved a deep breath and sat on her


    seat. All she could think about was Elliot with nothing else about work on her mind. Why am I thinking


    about him?


    At this moment, Grace knocked on the door and entered. In hushed tones, she said, “President


    Presgrave had lunch together with Aliona earlier, Anastasia. Everyone thinks they’re dating. Are you all


    right?”


    Hearing that, Anastasia sneered in her heart. Well, he’s making it so obvious to everyone! He sent her


    flowers and took her out for lunch, not fearing that the entirepany would know. Is he now publicly


    showing his interest in Aliona?


    “Don’t tell me such matters anymore. I’m not interested.” Anastasia raised her head and reminded


    Grace.


    To that, Grace puffed her cheeks and replied, “Okay, noted.”


    Grace left after that. Anastasia then rubbed her brows, attempting to chase her messy thoughts away so


    that she could focus on her work.


    At about 3.00PM, Anastasia received Felicia’s call. “We’ll have a meeting in five minutes.”


    On the other hand, Aliona was admiring the roses in her office, her chin resting on her hand. Though


    they were meant to wee her, she wondered if they meant something else-Elliot was interested in


    her.


    After all, he did not reject her invitation for lunch earlier. Perhaps I overestimated how important


    Anastasia is to him.


    Furthermore, she was extremely confident in herself. Thus, sooner orter, he would be hers.


    In the president’s office.
