Chapter 122

Elliot’s arm tensed for a moment, but he didn’t fling the woman’s hand away. He was also interested to

take a look at the man in front of Anastasia, who had made her laugh so heartily.

The moment Anastasia looked up, she saw Elliot and Hayley walking in her direction. She then realized

that the table next to her had just been cleared. They’re not going to sit here, are they? Hayley shot

Anastasia a smug look when she walked over and pretended to greet her. “I didn’t know you were here,

Anastasia!”

Anastasia gave Hayley a cold glare before turning her head to face the window. She didn’t bother being

nice to Hayley as she saw no point in it. Hayley could only settle in her seat with a bitter smile on her

face. Meanwhile, Elliot took his seat opposite Hayley. The position of his seat allowed him to stare

directly at Anastasia’s face. He took a glance at the man opposite her as he thought, I don’t know who

this guy is. That means that he’s probably just some regular person.

“My company’s really near to yours, Miss Tillman! It’s just two streets away. I’ll have to buy you lunch and

coffee next time!” Samuel’s gaze remained on Anastasia the whole time, and he didn’t notice the icy

glare that was boring into the back of his head.

Anastasia ran her fingers through her hair as she put on a shy smile. “Sure! We can grab coffee when

we’re free. Since you’re such an impressive individual, I bet I can learn some investment related things

from you,” she uttered.

“I do have some achievements in that field, so I’d gladly teach you some tricks,” Samuel replied in a

confident tone. He was secretly pleased when he noticed how Anastasia seemed to have a better

impression of him after he talked about his career.

“Let’s get some food, Elliot!” Hayley said.

“You go ahead. I need to make a call,” Elliot replied while staying put in his seat. Hayley had no choice

but to go on her own. As she turned to gaze at the man sitting opposite Anastasia, she scoffed. What’s

Anastasia’s taste in men like? This guy doesn’t look good at all.

At the same time, Elliot’s gaze was fixed on the woman sitting at the next table. There was a light

hanging from above Anastasia’s head, and her gray evening gown made her skin seem fairer than usual.

Her sharp features and her mesmerizing eyes made her seem especially attractive, and her glossy red

lips looked extra seductive. Any man who saw her perky, glossy lips would yearn to bite on them.

Although Anastasia wasn’t paying any attention to the man beside their table, she could feel him staring

at her. What’s he looking at? Doesn’t he already have Hayley with him? she scoffed silently. While

Samuel lowered his head to drink water, Anastasia took the opportunity to roll her eyes at Elliot before

glaring at him.

Elliot’s confused eyes met her eyes, and he felt a surge of inexplicable emotions in his chest. Anastasia

smiles in such a happy manner when she’s with this man, yet she has never smiled at me like that

before. Why? Don’t I deserve her smiles?

These thoughts made Elliot more frustrated than before. As he watched Anastasia continuing to engage

in conversation with the other man, Elliot felt like he couldn’t handle it anymore. In the end, he stood up

and walked to Samuel. “Excuse me, sir. I need this seat for a while as there are

some work-related things I’d like to discuss with my staff.”

Samuel felt rather annoyed. Which brat’s trying to mess with my attempt at chasing after Anastasia? The

moment Samuel turned around, he was utterly shocked by what he saw. Isn’t this the young master of

the Presgrave Group?

“P-Please sit down, President Presgrave.” Samuel moved at the speed of lightning as he gestured for

Elliot to sit. Then, Samuel realized… Does Anastasia work for Elliot?

Anastasia stared at the man in a rather troubled manner. “I’m not at work right now, President Presgrave.

Let’s talk about work during work hours,” she uttered coldly.

“I think talking about work is better than chatting with this boring man here.” Elliot had instantly attacked

Samuel’s personality by calling him a boring man. Samuel was speechless for two seconds before he put

on a polite smile. “You’re right, President Presgrave. I’m a rather naggy person who likes to have

conversations on useless topics,” he explained.

Anastasia didn’t know how to respond as she stared at Elliot. “This might be the first time I’ve seen

someone talk so rudely about others in front of their face,” she muttered.

“Did I say anything wrong?” Elliot raised an eyebrow in a cocky manner.

He’s right that Samuel brags, but I’m willing to listen to him! I’d rather listen to Samuel than Elliot!

Anastasia thought.

“I like it when others brag. Do you have the ability to do that, President Presgrave? Why don’t you try it?”

Anastasia said in a provoking manner.
