Chapter 105
Elliot was going through some of Presgrave Corporation’s documents when his phone rang. “Hello, Grandma,” he uttered after reaching to pick it up.
“Elliot, I told Mark to pass you one of the invitation cards for the party, and I want you to pass it to Anastasia on behalf of me.” Harriet’s voice came from the other end of the line.
“Are you inviting her?” Elliot’s eyebrow went up a little as he spoke. “Yeah. She agreed to come. I’m trying to create opportunities for you here, Elliot; you need to make good use of them. I’m not asking Hayley to join us,” Harriet said.
Naturally, Elliot didn’t wish to disappoint his grandmother after seeing how much the old woman was trying to put Anastasia and him together. “Okay. I got it,” he replied. Mark came over with the invitation card about an hour later, but he didn’t send it directly to Anastasia-he sent it to Elliot’s office instead.
After getting the invitation, Elliot used the landline to make an internal call to Anastasia. “Hello, Anastasia speaking,” the woman said through the phone.
“I want you to come to my office,” Elliot ordered in a deep voice.
“Is anything the matter?” she asked.
“Collect your invitation card!” He ended the call right after that. Anastasia had no choice but to let out a sigh before walking out of her office and toward the direction of the elevator. She knocked on the door once she arrived. “Come in,” the man said.
She entered the room to see the lanky man crossing one leg over the other where he sat on the couch. “Give it to me!” she muttered after glancing at him.
“Don’t forget about dinner tonight,” the man said while he took the invitation card out from his stack of documents. Anastasia froze for a moment. Last night, she had been the one who promised to buy him both lunch and dinner. “I’m not free tonight, so I won’t buy you dinner.” She refused to pay for him.
