Room for You novel Chapter 178

Chapter 178 

By then they had arrived in front of the company, so Anastasia instantly voiced out, “Why don’t you pull over right here? I’ll get down now.”

It was the peak hour during lunch, so she didn’t want anyone to see her getting out of Elliot’s car.

Upon hearing that, Elliot pulled over and Anastasia quickly grabbed her bag and got out of the car in a rush.

It was quite obvious that she was afraid of being seen by anyone else. Meanwhile, he continued to drive in the direction of the underground parking lot.

As soon as Anastasia got back to the office, she received a phone call from Felicia saying that the client was quite pleased with her design, so there were no changes necessary. They could now proceed to send it to the factory to get it customized. Felicia had also confirmed with the client the details of it, such as the grade of the diamond preferred, so Anastasia felt quite relieved.

At that moment, Grace walked in with her cell phone in hand and there was an excited look on her face. “Anastasia, look at this! The news of President Presgrave’s treat of Musang King durians from yesterday has gone viral! Furthermore, it’s one of the top three trending topics. The title is “The president of the Presgrave Group treated their staff to Musang King durians. They are so fortunate!”

Meanwhile, Anastasia was significantly speechless. After all, it wasn’t even a significant piece of news, but the media had deemed it important enough to publish it. The news published was in fact detrimental to Elliot, as it definitely reflected badly on his esteemed status.

Right before work ended, Anastasia realized that it was time to go and pick Jared up from school. Suddenly, her landline rang and she subsequently picked up the phone. “Hello, who’s on the line?”

“Come to the underground parking lot.” An abrupt male voice rang out.

At that instance, Anastasia hesitated for a few seconds before mentioning, “President Presgrave, there’s no need to bother with this. I can go and pick Jared up by myself. I’ve hurt my finger too and I can’t cook for you for the time being, so I would like to take a break for one week.”

Essentially, this meant that Anastasia didn’t want to see the man for the coming week.

“Are you avoiding me?” Elliot’s voice deepened and it turned colder too.

Anastasia wasn’t one prone to self-deception, so she responded, “Yes. From now on, we shouldn’t meet up unless necessary. That would be the best for both of us. Goodbye.”

After Anastasia said that, she hung up the phone. Subsequently, she decided to go and pick Jared up.

And so, she hailed a cab to his school and as soon as she entered the school compound, his teacher exclaimed in surprise, “Oh-you’re Jared’s mother, right? Why are you here? Jared’s father came and picked him up earlier.”

“What?!” Anastasia was caught by surprise.
