Chapter 27
Another woman chimed in with a jealous tone, commenting, “Wow, they really went all in! I bet it’s his girlfriend! You know, the one who came to the company and got slapped by Anastasia?”
“I can’t help but wonder about Anastasia’s background, since she managed to get out unscathed after hitting President Presgrave’s girlfriend.”
“I guess President Presgrave was unwilling to fire her because of how pretty she is.”
“Do you guys think that President Presgrave likes her?”
“It is possible. Maybe her position in the company will change once she gets into his bed.”
“Damn! I want to have her beauty, too! President Presgrave won’t even spare any glances on ordinary employees like us.”
Right then, Anastasia, who was still in the toilet, knew well that she was the person who left a hickey on Elliot’s neck.
As for her possibly getting into his bed, she could give them a definite answer. Never! Never in a thousand years!
After the group of gossip girls left, Anastasia came out of the toilet and returned to her office before her landline rang.
“Hello.”
“Come to my office for a while.” Elliot’s unique magnetic voice rang out.
Before Anastasia could say anything, he hung up, causing her to sigh as he was the person that she didn’t want to face the most today.
Maybe he has something to discuss with me regarding work. At the thought of that, she started heading to the elevator.
When Anastasia reached the entrance of the president’s office, she knocked before entering the office to see Elliot reading through a document on the couch. He glanced at her before he continued reading the document.
“Why did you look for me?” Anastasia asked.
“Is vour body alright now?” Elliot started scanning her up and down while Anastasia replied in a tense manner, “I’m fine now. Thanks for asking.”
“Don’t be so stubborn next time.”
She frowned. Did he ask me to come up here just to say these to me?
“You don’t have to worry about me, President Presgrave. I’ll head back to resume my work now.”
