Room for You novel Chapter 30

Chapter 30 

Anastasia tidied her messy hair, the red shape of a palm obvious on her pretty face. “Chase them out!” she said to Felicia.

“I am Anastasia’s stepmother, and I have a private business to settle with her,” Naomi barked.

“I don’t care who you are. This is a company, not the backyard of your house. If you refuse to leave, I’m calling the police.” Felicia had no regard for Naomi.

Naomi thought she couldn’t involve the police in this matter, so she pulled her daughter along as she said, “Let’s go, Erica. We’ll continue this later.”

Anastasia bit her red lip and let out a sigh as she watched the duo leave. As for the onlookers in the office, most of them couldn’t help but see Anastasia in a new light. Despite her slender frame, she could actually put up a fight against the duo.

“What’s wrong with you, Anastasia? How are people coming over so often to pick on you?” Felicia and Anastasia were equally exasperated by the recent events, and the latter made a promise to her superior. “I’ll try my best not to bring personal matters to the company.”

Anastasia returned to her office, and she was about to tie her hair up when her landline rang. She reached out and picked it up. “Hello.”

“Got into a fight again?” A man’s deep and upset voice came from over the phone.

Anastasia was speechless. How did this news travel to him so fast? But then she remembered that there were many busybodies in this company.

“Good news. I won,” Anastasia replied cheekily.

“And you still have the courage to brag. You’re a mother now; it’s unbecoming to fight all the time,” Elliot said in exasperation.

Anastasia grinned, but the movement affected the wound on her face, causing her to hiss. “I’ll hang up now. My face hurts.”

She ended the call right away. Soon, Rey arrived at Anastasia’s office, bringing an ice pack for her. “President Presgrave asked me to deliver this. Please be more careful next time, Miss Tillman.”

Anastasia gave Rey a look but accepted the ice pack anyway. “Thank you, Rey.”
