Even though Alex self-admittingly thought that he was an outstanding individual, he knew he did not hold

a candle to Elliot.

Hailing from a poor background, Alex always acknowledged that the world wasn’t fair. He had sacrificed

a lot to reach the top, but some people were simply born up at the very top.

Anastasia was a girl that he liked the first moment he laid eyes on her, and she made him feel intoxicated

through the short conversation they had. With every breath and smile that she took, it served only to

make him fall for her deeper and deeper.

Yet at that moment, Alex could only look on, clenching his fists as the one he loved was by Elliot’s side.

Failing to make Elliot budge, Anastasia was about to give up when a middle-aged woman’s voice called

to her, “Oh-Anastasia, there you are! Come help me out for a bit.”

What Anastasia saw was Naomi had a kind and warm smile at that moment, something the former didn’t

see everyday.

“Is there anything you need help with?” Anastasia asked as Elliot also turned over to look at Naomi.

Upon seeing his face, Naomi felt her heart actually skipped a bit over how perfect the man’s face was.

The only flaw was the distant and cold aura he emanated that made him feel like an invisible barrier was

surrounding him.

“And this must be the honorable guest your father mentioned, Young Master Elliot!” Hastily, Naomi

greeted him, “Hello, Young Master Elliot. I’m Francis’ wife, Naomi Lowell. I hope you’ll replace it in your heart

to forgive us if there’s anything inadequate at the venue!”

To this, Elliot only returned a subtle nod. Thinking back on how the mother daughter duo bullied

Anastasia back then at the company, he wouldn’t even have upheld common courtesy if not for the

celebration taking place right then.

“Anastasia, come with me for a second. I have something urgent that could use your help,” Naomi

announced, pretending to look like something urgent was going on.

Since it was her father’s company celebration today, Anastasia didn’t want to slack off

either, so she said to Elliot, “President Presgrave, I’ll be stepping away for a bit. Please make yourself

comfortable.”

Stating that, Anastasia then stood up and left. At the instant Naomi turned around, the older woman

quickly hinted at her daughter.

The actual reason Naomi came was just to make Anastasia leave so that a chance could open up for her

daughter, as Elliot was their real target for tonight.

Meanwhile, Erica, who was standing not far away, saw her mother’s hint. Immediately, she became

anxious and excited, wanting to run right to Elliot’s side Using the mirror at the side, she looked at herself

for a few seconds before purposefully lowering her neckline and pushing her chest up, thereafter walking

toward him seductively.

Upon closing in on him, Erica could feel her breath being taken away as she looked at the man’s sharp

silhouette. With every look at his clean-cut sideburns and his stunning side profile, she was falling

deeper for the charismatic man.

After a deep breath, she mustered up the sweetest tone she could and said, “Hello, Young Master Elliot,

Since my sister is busy with something else, my father asked me to accompany you for a bit.”

Saying that, Erica naturally sat on Anastasia’s seat. Her brain instantly turned into mush the second she

made eye contact with Elliot, and she did not know what to say next.

At that moment, Erica, who wanted to transform into a princess just to show him her most elegant side,

was unaware that the man sitting in front of her had witnessed the fight between her and Anastasia a

month ago.

“I don’t need any company, thank you.” Finishing his sentence, Elliot then picked up his phone and

began scrolling through it, all the while emitting a distant feel.

“What about some drinks, Young Master Elliot? I can bring you some, if you so wish.”

“There’s no need.”

“Fruits? There’s some freshly cut fruits there. I can–”

“No.” Elliot cut her off without even moving his gaze away from his phone.

Even though Erica knew that Elliot was hard to approach and cold, she wasn’t just giving up yet, as she

was satisfied by just staying close to him. “In that case, I’ll just

stay here with you. Do let me know if you have any needs.” Propping up her chin, she looked at him, her

expression lovestruck.

As Elliot couldn’t make her go away, he just left such a lovestruck looking person be.

On the other side, Anastasia, who was called to the pantry, was a bit puzzled as no help was actually

needed. There were even a few workers who could be seen sitting down and chatting.
