Chapter 313 The New One for Him

“Let’s go.” Elliot’s tone became solemn as it was clear that he took it to heart.

With that, Rey had no choice but to follow his instructions and left using another exit.

On the other hand, Alex brought Anastasia and Jared to meet Francis whereby the three of them had

dinner near the company. Then, she returned with Jared at around 8.30PM.

After they arrived home, she was busy showering her son and checking his homework. Before she

even realized it, it was already 9.30PM, whereupon she tucked her son to bed.

It was only after Jared fell asleep that she went back to room and yawned all the way there. Just before

she headed off to bed, she scrolled through her phone and recalled Elliot’s missed call. Looking at the

screen, she wondered whether she should ask Elliot why he had called her.

However, it was already past 10.00PM. If she were to text him, she would be disturbing his rest.

Well, let’s see how things go tomorrow, she thought.

It was a new day the next morning.

Anastasia rushed to her workplace after dropping Jared off at his school.

She was already in her office at about 10.00AM and reading all of her unread emails when Grace

suddenly entered without even knowing on the door.

“Anastasia!” Grace supported herself on the table with her hands, as if she had heard something

shocking.

“What happened?” Anastasia asked as she blinked at Grace.

“Miss Dora, who is new here, received a bouquet of blue roses! Do you know who sent it to her?”

‘Who?” Anastasia raised her teacup and asked, seemingly uninterested.

To that, Grace responded with envy. “I heard that it’s from President Presgrave.”

When Anastasia heard that, she almost choked on her tea. She quickly swallowed it and pretended to

be calm. “Well, President Presgrave is always on the lookout for newcomers!”

Grace stared at her. “Anastasia, aren’t you jealous?”

It was a question that Anastasia found amusing. “Why should I be?”

This answer of hers stunned Grace. Being someone unrelated, she was slightly dissatisfied with the

situation, so how could Anastasia not feel anything?

Anastasia was aware of Aliona’s identity. Since she is the daughter of Elliot’s late father’s close friend

and her first day in the company, it is perfectly normal for Elliot to send her flowers.

With such a thought in her mind, Anastasia opened her unfinished sketch and wanted to devote her

mind into it.

However, looking at the sketch in front of her, she felt as if her mind was blank with no inspiration. She

had no idea where to begin.

As a result, she decided to put it aside for the time being. She didn’t want to push herself when she

didn’t know where to begin. Following that, she went to the dessert bar to get some afters, knowing that

the newly introduced dessert was very popular.

Just as she sat down, she heard a voice mocking her from behind her. “It appears that someone has

fallen out of favor, huh.”

It was Alice. She was holding her cup of coffee and staring at Anastasia with those eyes that bore no

good intention.

Anastasia did not want to entertain her and merely continued eating the cake.

Such an action merely increased Alice’s arrogance. “Anastasia, I heard that President Presgrave has a

new target now. Don’t be too sad about it. Men are like that; they’ll ditch the previous one once they

replace someone new.”

And Anastasia remained ignoring her.

Faced with Anastasia’s attitude, Alice found no fun in it and left shortly after.

In the afternoon, Anastasia went for lunch with Felicia at the western restaurant opposite their

workplace where both of them took the table by the window. Not long after they sat down, Felicia was

shocked to see a couple walking into the restaurant.

After that, she immediately tried to divert Anastasia’s attention. “Look at that car outside, Anastasia. Do

you think it’s lovely?”

She looked toward the direction that Felicia was pointing at and replied, “Kind of. I like the color, but it’s

beyond what I can afford.”

However, at this moment, they heard a clear woman’s voice. “Director Evans and Anastasia, both of

you are having lunch here too! What a coincidence!”

It was Aliona.

Anastasia turned her head in response and when she saw Elliot standing next to Aliona in the

restaurant, her heart twitched for a moment. They are having lunch together?

“Enjoy your lunch. Ours is in the private room.” Aliona waved to both Felicia and Anastasia before

intentionally turning around to knock into Elliot’s embrace. “Ahhh! My head!”

“Be careful,” Elliot advised in a deep, concerned voice as he added while extending his long arms

toward her, “Don’t be so careless.”

Then, both Elliot and Aliona made their way to the private room in front of Anastasia. With this,

Anastasia suddenly realized the reason why Felicia had diverted her attention earlier. Was she worried

that I’d see both of them?
