Chapter 260 She Can’t Just Sit and Do Nothing
Alex could tell Anastasia might stand on ceremony with Elliot, but she cared deeply about Elliot.
After dinner, Alex went to pay the bill, only to learn that Rey had already done so. With that, he went back to the table to tell Francis. “President Tillman, President Presgrave had already paid the bill.”
“What?! Young Master Presgrave, I should be the one paying the bill!” Francis felt horrible. How could he continue to let Elliot spend the money?
“Don’t worry about it, Mr. Tillman; we’re all family here.” A hint of a smile laced Elliot’s eyes as he looked knowingly at the young woman next to Francis.
Anastasia reflexively lowered her head and retorted inwardly, Who’s family with you?!
On the other hand, Francis couldn’t thank Elliot enough. But just then, Francis got a call from his office, saying there was something he needed to see to urgently. It was only when Anastasia watched how her father kept shaking Elliot’s hand and thanking him again and again that she realized how rude she was to Elliot.
Look at what she had done when even her father behaved differently around Elliot, fearing that Elliot experienced any remiss.
She had no respect for him from the moment they met, and she even found him repulsive. Even at this point, she still saw him as an equal, in no way any more superior than her.
But now, looking at how her father behaved toward Elliot, she realized how horrible she had been acting toward Elliot.
It was time for Anastasia to go home as well. With that, she went up to Elliot. “Thank you for today, President Presgrave. I should take Jared home now.”
However, he had other plans. “Why don’t we go shopping instead? I’d like to get Jared some toys.” With that, he picked the little guy next to him up and headed toward the mall.
“Hey…” Anastasia called out anxiously and chased after them with resignation.
