Chapter 192
“What is there to help out with?”
“Anastasia, help me take a look if the amount of wine here is correct or not. As you know, the employees in hotels can have less than desirable habits sometimes.” Naomi’s loud voice attracted the ire of nearby waiters.
Feeling extremely humiliated, Anastasia wished she wasn’t acquainted with the woman. In the end, she said calmly, “This is a five-star hotel, so no such thing would happen. Now, if there isn’t anything else, then I’ll be excusing myself first.”
After that, Anastasia was going to open the door and go out, but Naomi made a move to grab onto her. “Wait! Anastasia, I have something to say to you.”
Feeling slightly disgusted, Anastasia avoided her touch. “You can say whatever you want to without having to touch me.”
“Anastasia, you know that Erica has also bought a house recently, right? After your dad bought one for you, he insisted on buying one for her too. I couldn’t even persuade him not to do so,” Naomi said frustratingly.
Smirking deep down, Anastasia kept up a calm façade as she countered, “That’s between you people. You don’t need to tell me that.”
“Of course I have to tell you that! Do you know how hard it is for your father to be the sole breadwinner of the family? On top of that, the company isn’t going through its best period recently, so don’t disturb him if you don’t have much going on. Also, don’t try to borrow money from him these days. Just try to spend within your means.” Everything that Naomi said pointed to one message-Anastasia had better not further spend any of Francis’ money.
Even if Naomi did not state this, Anastasia knew all this herself.
“Your dad hasn’t been sleeping all that well these nights. I think it might be due to the stress.”
The guilt started to well up within Anastasia, as the house that her dad bought for her did cost a pretty penny. Maybe Dad really is quite stressed nowadays.
“Anastasia, I heard from your father that you’re now working under Young Master Elliot, right? Could I trouble you to ask if he’s still hiring? Erica is also hoping to land a job in his company,” Naomi immediately murmured.
Upon hearing that, Anastasia sneered deep down as she could see right through Naomi’s little trick. I think she just wants Erica to get close to Elliot!
With that thought, she then opened the door and looked to the great hall. As expected, Erica had already made herself comfortable on Anastasia’s original seat beside Elliot.
