Chapter 309 Take a Step Back in Order to Advance
As she truly felt like she didn’t deserve Elliot, Anastasia croaked, “Elliot, you don’t have to lower yourself like this. You deserve a better woman in your life. Take Miss Dora for example.”
“And let you and Alex be together? Do you think that I am not half as qualified as he is to be a member of the Tillmans?” he argued.
He was really going to get angry if she kept pushing him to another woman.
She was stiff with surprise when she heard the question. Since when did marrying into the woman’s family become such a sought-after matter? she thought.
“Why don’t you head back first, Elliot? It is late and you have to go to work tomorrow!” Anastasia really didn’t want to stay with him a second longer.
When she noticed that he was not moving from his position, she could only approach Elliot and give him a push on his firm chest to start chasing him off. “Shoo. Shoo.”
He looked down at the soft hands on his chest and he pouted as he hummed. “Don’t even think of sending me away without giving me a good night kiss.”
Anastasia’s blood seemed to rush to her head then and she kissed him on his cheek. “Off you go!”
“Lips,” the man curtly demanded.
In order to get Elliot to leave, she tiptoed and gently pecked him on his thin lips. “Are we done?”
With that, the man finally turned around and left through the door. It was like she had finally ended the war and breathed a sigh of relief as soon as she closed the door.
She thought about it, and she didn’t understand what gave him the right to threaten him like this.
After Elliot returned to his car, he asked Rey with a depressed expression, “Rey, have you ever successfully pursued a woman? Care to share your experience with me?”
The assistant only turned his head in shame and muttered, “President Presgrave, I have never had a girlfriend.”
Elliot halted for a few seconds after hearing his words and when he eventually spoke again, he asked, “You probably are too busy from the work that I have given you. Do you want to take a vacation?”
“There is no need for that, President Presgrave. I like doing my job.” Rey was used to this kind of work intensity. Ever since he became Elliot’s executive assistant, he had enjoyed the sense of achievement from doing his work.
