Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 150

Chapter 150

The waiter named the price with a smile. “That will be 5,888, thank you!”

Anastasia’s almond-shaped eyes widened when she heard the unbelievably expensive price tag that the cup of coffee had. “That’s unreasonably expensive!”

“The coffee was brewed with coffee beans of the finest quality, so it is definitely worth the price.”

Anastasia was rendered speechless. The coffee cost me a fortune although I have barely sipped it-I didn’t even manage to relish the taste. “Fine, just get me the bill. Pack the coffee too. Add some ice, sugar and cream please.” Then, she took out her card and handed it to a stunned waiter.

The waiter immediately asked his colleague to pack the drink. However, Anastasia’s action led Leah, who was sitting near the window, to scoff at her. “Anastasia, my apologies. I’ve forgotten that you are an ordinary white-collar employee. I reckon that this cup of coffee must have cost about half of your monthly salary!”

Anastasia wasn’t bothered to respond and she was unfazed by the unusual glances from the waiters around. When the waiter handed her the coffee, she took the coffee and left with her chest puffed out.

Upon seeing that, Leah was so pissed that she clenched her teeth. Anastasia’s really a tough nut to crack, she thought.

It was almost lunch hour when Anastasia returned to the office. She asked Felicia out for lunch and told her about all that had happened earlier that day.

“What? She was spiteful to you?” Felicia asked in shock.

“Yes! She even attempted to force me to leave my friends, so she deliberately made things difficult for me. It wasn’t her intention to do business with us at all.” At that point, Anastasia had yet to mention the incident about the coffee!

“In that case, I’ll make a request with the management to collect liquidated damages from her instead. I can’t put you in a difficult situation because of this,” a reasonable Felicia replied, to which Anastasia nodded and responded, “Sorry for the trouble, Felicia.”

“No worries. We can’t let anyone bully us because of this, eh?” Felicia smiled. Besides, with Elliot around, nobody can lay a finger on you!

At about 2.00PM, she went upstairs to Elliot’s office. Elliot was sitting on the couch reading a document. The man displayed high work efficiency; the large pile of documents that had been on his desk that morning had vanished with only a few remaining documents.

“President Presgrave, I have something I’d like to report to you,” Felicia uttered.
