“Why didn’t you discuss it with me?” She was hysterical after hearing him confirm it. She couldn’t believe how wilful Elliot was.

“I don’t think any discussion is needed for this kind of trivial matter. I made the decision almost instantly.” The man’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.

Anastasia felt like a boulder was pressed against her chest that she couldn’t breathe. The 5-million donation suddenly felt like her responsibility. No, she thought. I can’t let his donation go to waste. She had found a private kindergarten about 20 minutes from her workplace, and it had a yearly fee of one hundred thousand dollars that she could still afford.

Her attitude suddenly did a 180, and she flashed a bright smile at him. “I will take Jared to school in a while, then! Why don’t you go back to the company, President Presgrave? I will have to have a good conversation with the teacher after Jared has arrived at his new school!”

Elliot had postponed a morning meeting just to send the young boy to school. He glumly replied, “I will go with you.”

“No, no,” she immediately refused. “Go ahead and get busy with your work.”

He was about to say something when he got off the elevator when his phone began to ring. After he reached for his phone and accepted the call, he spoke into it. “Hey… Okay. I will come over.”

“Alright, then. You can send Jared to Eden Kindergarten. Everything has been arranged. He can attend classes straightaway.”

Anastasia was overjoyed when she saw that there was finally business that Elliot couldn’t step away from, and she gleefully bid him farewell. “Okay. Thank you for being so kind. Goodbye.”

After she and her son watched Elliot’s car drive off, she took her son by his hand and said, “Jared, Mommy will take you to your new school. Let’s go!”

She then drove her son to the school she chose. Although it wasn’t top-notch, it was not bad at all. She approved of the security measures, too. ALso, the school seemed to be extra safe as it was situated beside a police station.

She was lucky that there just so happened to be a spot for Jared because of a child who dropped out.

Even though Jared was a transfer student who joined class halfway, he was not afraid to be in the new environment at all. It was already eleven 11AM by the time she went through all the admission procedures. Anastasia watched as her son was brought into class by a teacher, and she waved at him. “Jared, Mommy will pick you up this afternoon.”

The young boy waved goodbye happily before he went off to see his new classmates. Without missing a beat, Anastasia went to visit the top private kindergarten in the city center.

The teacher had been waiting for Jared to come to handle the admission, but it was Anastasia who ended up appearing. Anastasia assumed the position as Elliot’s assistant to find her way to the principal’s office, where she started discussing the donation. She wasn’t ashamed at all to ask for a refund since Jared didn’t end up studying here.

The principal was not happy about it at first, but as Anastasia kept insisting on the refund, the principal could only give her his signature with a sour face. It was only after an hour when Anastasia had gotten the bank card for the 5-million-dollar refund that she could finally leave feeling relieved.

Anastasia had returned to Bourgeois after that.

As she was having lunch with Felicia outside, the latter told her that Elliot hadn’t been to Bourgeois ever since Anastasia had been on leave. She then teasingly added, “It looks to me you are the only reason President Presgrave comes to the company!”

Anastasia’s face immediately heated up. Felicia seemed to be someone who could see through everything. She also told Anastasia that a new designer had come over in the afternoon due to the expansion of the business. The person was a rather mysterious person whose gender Felicia didn’t know, and seemed to have had an airborne arrival at the company.

“For the designer to arrive in such a way, they definitely have some sort of relationship with President Presgrave,” Felicia speculated.

Hearing that, Anastasia couldn’t help but think to herself, Could it be a relative of the Presgrave family?

At 2:30PM, Anastasia went and greeted Lily, the assistant working in the general office. She reminded Lily to inform her as soon as Elliot reached the company.

She was sorting out the latest emails she had received when the landline rang, and she swiftly reached out to pick it up. “Hi,” she greeted briefly, in which Lily’s voice came from the other end of the call.

“Miss Tillman, President Presgrave has arrived.”

“Got it. Thank you.”

After she hung up the call, she took out the bank card with 5 million dollars from her bag. She couldn’t wait to give it to Elliot so that she could feel more at ease.

With the card in her hand, she walked in the direction of the elevator, where she then pressed the button to the eighth floor. She suddenly thought of what Felicia said about how Elliot had not been to Bourgeois this week. But he is here now, she mused. Could it be true that he is here because of me?

She had never believed that she had the ability to make Elliot give up the luxurious and spacious office of Presgrave Group’s headquarters, and transfer to a place like Bourgeois.

But it was for a fact that Elliot was here today.

As she passed by Lily’s office, she noticed that the assistant was not in her seat. She then walked directly to Elliot’s office, and when she saw the door that was hidden from plain sight, she was about to knock on it when she heard a coquettish laughter from behind the door. “I will definitely work hard and live up to your expectations, Elliot.”

“You don’t have to thank me,” Elliot said fondly in his deep voice. “You can always ask for my help with work in the future.”

“Mhm! I know. I will try my best not to bother you. I am already very happy to be your subordinate.” The female voice was pleasant to listen to. For her to have such a sweet and melodious voice, she probably was a beauty as well.

Is this the airborne designer that Felicia was talking about? She seems like she knows Elliot personally. Anastasia’s hand froze mid-air as multiple thoughts began to swim through her mind.

The woman suddenly sounded bashful as she spoke expectantly. “Are you free tonight, Elliot? I want to treat you to a meal.”

Anastasia had suspected that it might be one of the Presgraves’ relative’s children, but when she heard her flirtatious tone, it was obvious that they were not related by blood. The woman probably fancied the man, too.

Elliot was a dreamboat, after all.

He neither rejected nor agreed. “Tonight? I will check if I have the time.”

“It is so amazing how you alone manage such a big company.” The woman’s voice was full of admiration.

Hearing that, Elliot let out a low laugh and replied, “It can be tiring sometimes.”

“Which is why I want to buy you something good for dinner tonight and help you relax. Aww come on, just say yes!” The woman inside the office was half-seducing and half-pleading. Her soft voice seemed useful at making men listen to her.

“Miss Tillman, what are you doing?” Lily suddenly asked in an emotionless voice.

Anastasia was completely surprised by Lily’s sudden appearance. She didn’t even notice that her upper body was already leaning over. In that instant, she lost her balance, and she abruptly slammed open the office door in front of her as she stumbled into Elliot’s office.

She panickedly raised her head, only to see Elliot sitting at the desk, and there was a young woman in a suit leaning over on his desk. She had her chin plopped in her palms as she put on a cute and kittenish appearance.

Not brave enough to look at the man’s face, Anastasia bowed her head and stammered as she apologized. “So—sorry to bother you. I didn’t mean to interrupt. Please, continue with what you were doing…”

A look of displeasure flashed across Aliona’s face. Is she doing this on purpose? she fumed as she looked at Anastasia. She really knows how to pick the worst timing. Of all the time she could have come, she just had to choose to show up now.

Elliot’s comflicted gaze fell on the woman who had just barged in, and he was instantly overjoyed. Was she eavesdropping from outside?

After Anastasia had regained her composure, she began to explain in a serious manner. “I apologize. I have just arrived. I will come back later if I have interrupted your conversation.”

She was about to turn around and leave after saying that when a male voice called out from behind. “Wait a minute.” Elliot then turned to the woman at his table and said, “Aliona, go and get familiarized with your office first.”
