Chapter 224 – Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel

Filed To Story: Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel

Felicia began the agenda for today’s meeting after letting out a light cough. She began by reviewing the current month’s market study report, then moved on to the popular elements in the mainstream market.

Throughout her presentation, Elliot remained silent. His gaze scanned the room before settling on the woman seated in the last seat behind him. Her head was bowed, her eyes hidden behind her long lashes, as if he were looking at a painting. He couldn’t see the expression on her face, though.

Sensing his gaze, she pretended to be emotionless as she bit her pen lid without looking at him.

As he felt her intention, his lips pursed as he seemed to sense her resentment. Great. This is what I wanted.

“Let’s give Anastasia a big round of applause. Her designed products are always the most popular.” Felicia began clapping.

Several clapping sounds followed.

“I have a lot to learn from Anastasia,” Aliona said with a smile.

She had to be friendly to Anastasia, or at least appeared to be so, because she needed to show Elliot her kind and generous side.

Alice, on the other hand, was filled with jealousy. She had always been unwilling to accept that Anastasia’s designs were way above hers.

“Do you have anything to add, President Presgrave?” Felicia smilingly asked Elliot.

“No. Let’s end the meeting now. Aliona, come to my office.” He left right away after finishing his words.

Being called out by him publicly, Aliona pretended to be shy and nodded. She then replied with a sweet smile, “Sure. I’ll be there shortly.”

“You’re blessed, Miss Dora! President Presgrave treats you well,” a female designer said to Aliona.

“There’s nothing between President Presgrave and me. Please don’t misunderstand,” Aliona replied smilingly. Then, she walked away with her documents in her hand.

At the same time, Anastasia was packing her belongings as well. For unknown reasons, she did not hold her notebook tightly and it fell onto the ground.

“Oh, it appears that someone was offended.” Alice took advantage of the situation to mock Anastasia.

To that, Anastasia ignored her and calmly picked her notebook up.

However, Alice had no intention of letting Anastasia off the hook so easily. “Isn’t being abandoned a terrible feeling, Anastasia? Your reign has ended, and Aliona has taken your place.”

An emotionless Anastasia left the conference room in the midst of Alice’s mockery. Offended? Me? Impossible!

There was nothing between Elliot and her at all. They had only kissed a few times where she had been taken advantage of several times by him as well. Those weren’t a big deal.

The moment she returned to her office, she heaved a deep breath and intended to use the remaining working hours to revise her sketch. However, just when she was about to start working, an image of Elliot and Aliona flashed through her mind.

She imagined Aliona in Elliot’s office with this man eagerly pressing Aliona down to the table.

Go away! Anastasia patted her own head, wanting to chase these messy thoughts away. What has happened to me? I must have been with this man for too long that I started having these dirty thoughts.

Her office phone rang at this instant and she answered it immediately, “Hello.”

“I’m going over to your place for dinner tonight. Prepare my portion as well.” Elliot’s deep and mesmerizing voice resonated.

She somehow seemed to pull her rage from the air and responded indifferently, “Tonight I’m not going to cook. President Presgrave, please eat your dinner outside with Aliona.”

“Why are you not cooking?” he asked curiously.

“No reason,” she answered again stoically.

“Fine. Drive carefully when you’re picking Jared up later.”

“I don’t need your concern,” Anastasia stubbornly responded, and she ended the conversation right away.

In the president’s office, the man who had just ended a call couldn’t stop smiling because he knew that Anastasia was jealous.

Well, she only had herself to blame for getting so close with Alex. Since she had enraged Elliot, he had to return the favor as well.

In the afternoon, Anastasia and Jared had returned home. She bought sausages on the way and decided to make them for dinner.

“Mom, is Mr. Presgrave coming later? Should we buy more?” He immediately thought of Elliot when he saw the sausages.

“He’s not coming, and he won’t be coming anymore in the future,” she replied while preparing the sausages.

Jared’s eyes immediately widened as he inquired, “Why?”

“Because… he’s busy.” She simply stuffed him with an excuse. She couldn’t possibly tell her son that Elliot was busy dating, could she?

Although this was something that Jared should know sooner or later, Anastasia decided to keep it from him at the moment. She regretted allowing him to become so close with Elliot in the first place, as he had grown attached to Elliot and even bore expectations for Elliot as well. She had no idea how to get her son out of this relationship.

After finishing the sausages, Jared knew that she was busy and he played by himself.

In the wee hours, when Jared was already asleep, Anastasia, on the other hand, wasn’t sleepy at all. Some images kept on appearing in her mind including that of Elliot kissing her. All of these were like ants that persistently scratched at her heart.

His breath, his domineering strength, his possessive gaze, his approaching lips…

Frustrated, she rolled on the bed again and had tried a variety of laying positions but still couldn’t fall asleep.

Each domineering kiss from Elliot became vivid in her mind, and the more she thought about them, the angrier she became. Who was he to kiss her so many times? Why didn’t she refuse him?

Not to mention, all of these things were the ones that he would do to Aliona as well. Perhaps he had also brought her to the villa!

Elliot derived no benefit from her whereas Aliona clearly admired and courted him. Would they both be emotionally and physically attracted to each other at first instance?

Anastasia then closed her eyes, attempting to quiet her mind. Having such a vivid imagination was not a good thing since she already had all sorts of things that Elliot and Aliona would do in her mind.

And in her mind, this man was like a wild wolf, never satisfied with what he wanted.

She had no idea how long it had been before she finally fell asleep due to exhaustion. However, even in her dreams, she saw Elliot and Aliona behaving intimately at every possible location she could think of: the office, his villa, or in the hotel.

However, she had no idea that her brows were furrowed throughout her dreams.

Finally, the alarm rang and she immediately opened her eyes. Her dreams remained vivid and the last thing she envisioned was receiving their wedding invitation.

As she held her face, Anastasia was furious. Why did Elliot become a nightmare that she couldn’t get rid of?

After making herself a cup of coffee, she immediately sent Jared to school before rushing to her company.

It was only a few minutes away from her prize of full attendance, but she was extremely lazy to even fight for it. In the end, she was late and lost the prize subsequently. Feeling hopeless, she entered her office while drinking her coffee.
