Chapter 196 Elliot opened his eyes but he looked lost, obviously meaning that he was still tipsy.
It was due to too much alcohol in such a short amount of time that caused him to be like this.
Stopping the car at Anastasia’s community entrance, the bodyguard came to open the door immediately, while simultaneously reaching to help Elliot up. Not wanting his help, Elliot shook away his arm. “I’m fine. I don’t need any help.”
Even though Elliot was drunk, he still cared about maintaining his strong image in front of Anastasia, as he did not want her to think that he was already at his limit.
“Sir, please don’t leave first. You’ll have to send him back later,” said Anastasia to the bodyguard, to which the bodyguard nodded in response.
“Alright. I’ll stay here and wait for the president.”
Just as Elliot began to walk, Anastasia came over to help him. “Watch your step.”
Of course, he wasn’t drunk to the point of not being able to walk properly, but the slender arm holding him made him happy. Hence, he didn’t struggle, as showing the occasional weakness in front of this woman was necessary.
Passing through the romantic garden under the moonlight, they reached the elevator and went up to her floor. Opening the door, Elliot then walked inside her house.
Although it was just a small two room apartment, it had a strange attraction that made him feel even more at home than his own house.
Using his arm as a pillow, Elliot laid down lazily on the sofa, and he looked at the woman that was pouring water and searching for the medicine.
“I remember it was here! Where has it gone now? Did I throw it away?” The sound of the woman mumbling to herself came from the cabinet.
Meanwhile, Elliot was not in a hurry and he wished that she wouldn’t find the medicine anytime soon. That way, he could have a reason to stay for the whole night.
Because of the amount of work she had, Anastasia had some of her memories jumbled up. Finally, she remembered that she kept the medicine inside the cabinet of her room. Rushing over quickly, she found them, just as she expected.
After reading the instructions, she took three pills and poured a cup of warm water for him.
“Here are the pills. There you go.” Setting them down on the coffee table, Anastasia watched as the man took it.
Standing up, Elliot took the pills without any hesitation. After taking them, he continued to lie on the sofa, watching her. “I want to rest for a bit more.”
