Chapter 164
Felicia smiled and left without saying another word. However, she had a strong hunch that the roses came from their big boss from upstairs.
The meeting was scheduled for 2.30 PM and Felicia sent an email to Elliot’s mailbox to inform him. It was up to him whether he turned up or not, but Felicia sure hoped that he would attend it. After all, the proposal for the snack area had been put on hold for quite some time now, so a lot of their staff were in fact quite looking forward to that.
As soon as Anastasia received Grace’s reminder about the upcoming meeting, she quickly tidied up the drafts she was working on and took her cell phone with her as she headed toward the direction of the meeting room.
Meanwhile, Anastasia realized upon walking in that everyone in the meeting room seemed to be addressing her in a very pleasant manner.
“Miss Tillman, thanks for the roses. I heard that it costs at least two hundred to buy a stalk of that!”
“Yeah! The rose can last for at least fifteen days too. The flowering period is so long!”
At that moment, Anastasia revealed a slight smile before pulling out a chair to take a seat. Suddenly, everyone focused their attention behind her. Elliot had arrived exactly on the dot.
Swiftly, Anastasia turned her head to glance at him before quickly shifting her eyes in the other direction. She intentionally kept a distance from him in the office as she wanted to avoid being involved in any rumors with him.
“Alright, enough with the chatter, guys. It’s time to start the meeting!” Felicia instructed her subordinates to stop their discussion.
Firstly, Felicia made a few announcements regarding some work and then she also reported on the situation recently with the manuscript submissions. She also talked about the situation with the market analysis she had found out.
ALL THE
Meanwhile, Anastasia sat by Elliot’s side and her thoughts ran wild as she sat there. For example, she recalled the incident with his gastritis last night and also the kiss they shared in her bed. Furthermore, she thought of the flowers from this morning
too.
“Anastasia… Ahem! Anastasia…” Felicia tried to get Anastasia’s attention once again.
Right away, Anastasia came to her senses and lifted her head to glance at Felicia with a slightly confused look.
Just then, Alice, who was seated across from Anastasia, was quite annoyed, so the former took the opportunity to deliver a scathing remark. “Miss Tillman, you seem to be quite preoccupied each time we have a meeting. This is rather disrespectful of you!”
Anastasia’s face turned slightly flushed when she heard that. She was quite embarrassed as she recalled what she had been thinking of earlier.
