Chapter 236 An Assertion of Dominance
Soon, it turned out that neither of what Anastasia was expecting happened as the man propped his body with his arms on his car frame and bent over slightly. The next second, he spoke with a magnetic voice, “I’ve been waiting for you at your doorstep. Hurry up and get inside.”
Before Anastasia could react, Elliot went to the backseat and greeted Jared with a gentle smile. “Hello, Jared.”
“Mr. Presgrave, you’re not mad, are you?” the child asked.
“Of course, I’m not.” Elliot smiled as he worked past his anger about the 28 missed calls that Anastasia didn’t pick up earlier. However, when he shifted his gaze to Oliver, his eyes were like a sharp blade, warning him not to get any closer to the lady.
Needless to say, Oliver understood the man’s warning gesture, knowing that Elliot was trying to assert his dominance over Anastasia.
After the car in front of Anastasia made its way, Anastasia turned her attention to Elliot and said, “I’ll park my car in the basement first.”
Then, she went ahead to park her car in a serious manner after locating a nice parking lot. In the meantime, Oliver caught a glimpse of the side view of Jared’s face, feeling shocked by what he saw when he was trying to remind the kid to bring his belongings out of the car with him. This kid looks just like the man we just met. Is he the father of this boy? So, does that mean Anastasia bore a child for her boss?
Although Oliver was not someone who was afraid of trouble, he was a man with a sense of shame within him. At the same time, he pitied himself for having to give up the idea of wooing Anastasia before he even had the chance to do anything. “Anastasia, I’ll deliver your computer to you in a while.”
“Sure, I’m going to be working overtime later anyway.” Anastasia expressed her gratitude, whereupon she entered the elevator with her son and made their way to the 15th floor. As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, Anastasia was greeted by the sight of a man leaning against the wall with a gloomy look on his face.
“Have you eaten, Mr. Presgrave?” Jared asked the man in a concerned manner.
“No, I haven’t.” Elliot shook his head in exhaustion.
The child told his mother, “Mom, Mr. Presgrave hasn’t eaten yet!”
