Chapter 154
When she was about to use her phone to do a calculation, a message popped up on her screen. It was a message from Elliot.
‘I’ll deal with it. Anastasia’s heart skipped a beat when she saw his message. What does he mean?
About ten minutes after Felicia had seen the female client out, she knocked on Anastasia’s door and said, “Anastasia, please try your best to come out with the design draft in three days’ time, even if you have to work overtime. You must not let the client down.”
“Sure. I’ll work overtime to come out with the draft,” Anastasia promised. The requested design elements happened to be those that she was skillful in, so the work wouldn’t be much of a hassle for her.
Felicia had faith in Anastasia’s quality of work, so the former left after a short discussion.
When Anastasia was staring at the sketch in an attempt to capture inspiration when it struck, Nigel was seen entering her office. He looked at her apologetically and muttered, “Anastasia, I’ll treat you and Jared to a meal another day. I have something else to attend to tonight.”
Anastasia, who wasn’t surprised at all to hear that, pursed her lips and flashed a smile at him. “No worries. We can always do that when you are free.”
“I just received the news that an overseas company will be holding their team-building event in my hotel, so I have to rush back to attend a meeting,” Nigel explained in frustration, to which
Anastasia responded, “Please go ahead with your business. You have just taken over the company; you must not disappoint your father.”
Nigel felt helpless as well. He finally had the time to invite Anastasia to dinner, but the plan was still ruined in the end.
After seeing him off, Anastasia fell into a daze. Elliot actually made such a huge move just to eat my cooking? He actually gave Nigel the profit that could be generated from the team-building event of the overseas company?
Just then, her landline rang, and she picked up the call. “Hello, who’s on the line?”
“Has he left?” A sonorous voice rang from the other end of the line, leaving Anastasia speechless. She then questioned, “Did you really have to drive him away?”
“What’s wrong? Or were you looking forward to having dinner with him?” The man’s voice from the other end suddenly took on a menacing edge.
“Alright! I’ll go and buy some groceries tonight.” At that point, Anastasia had no choice but to go through the trouble of making him dinner.
However, the man on the other end refused to give up. “Answer my question.”
