Filed To Story: Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel
Felicia only disregarded Anastasia’s words and continued making fun of her. “Why not? It might just happen one day. I have to build a good relationship with you before that day comes.” She had a strong feeling that her words might come true in the end.
Felicia’s assistant knocked on her door right this moment. The person was carrying a whole stack of files in her hands as she walked in. “Felicia, all these will need your signature before 10:00AM.”
Not wanting to disturb her any further, Anastasia automatically went and pushed the door open to return to her own office.
As Grace poured her a cup of coffee, Anastasia clicked open the file that she used to save her drafts. The inspiration she had lost two days ago had seemingly returned to her in that instant.
It made her heart cold. She was terrified of how it felt when she thought she had lost her inspiration. Her skills and creativity were her money maker!
Anastasia arrived at a conclusion with that: Never get involved with a man without thinking it through. Or else, she would end up being the one suffering.
A knock on her door came before she could even start with her work. Aliona, who was clad in an all-white suit, then walked in as she enthusiastically said to Anastasia seated at the desk, “Anastasia, I want to have a chat with you.”
Knowing that this was a mere act Aliona was putting on, Anastasia crossed her arms as she stated with her eyebrow raised, “There is nothing you and I have to talk about.”
“Anastasia, I would like to apologize for saying the thing I did before. I am really sorry for hurting you by saying something so out of line. Can you please forgive me for my ignorance and impudence?” Aliona apologized to save her image. At the very least, she didn’t want to be on bad terms with Anastasia.
It all only seemed like a bad joke to Anastasia. She knew that there was no sincerity in Aliona’s apology as the woman was merely apologizing because she was afraid that Anastasia would tell Elliot the truth.
“I accept your apology,” Anastasia said indifferently. “You can leave my office now.”
“If you accept my apology, this also means that you won’t tell Elliot what happened between us, right?” Aliona had her palms pressed against the surface of the desk, her gaze staring holes into Anastasia. “I beg of you, please don’t tell him about us.”
This was Aliona’s only reason for admitting defeat—she wanted to maintain that innocent mask of hers in front of Elliot.
Anastasia’s raised eyebrow went slightly higher at that. “So, you don’t actually want my forgiveness? You are only scared that I will tell him the truth, huh?”
“I was only against you because I love Elliot too much! I am not usually someone like that,” Aliona tried her best to explain herself.
However, Anastasia had no intention to accept her insincere apology. She answered, “This is not a good reason for you to verbally attack me.”
Aliona looked at her with sharp eyes when she heard that. “Anastasia,” she coldly began. “We don’t have to turn into each other’s enemies. What do you think?”
“I am not afraid of you.” Anastasia glared back at her with an equally unintimidated gaze.
“I heard that you are a single mother. It must be tough to bring a kid up by yourself.” Even though Aliona was smiling when she said that, the threat in her eyes was evident.
Anastasia immediately felt her whole body freeze when she heard Aliona’s words. She felt a strange discomfort at seeing the threatening smile on Aliona’s face.
“What are you going to do?” Anastasia questioned her coldly.
“It all depends on what you do! If you make things hard for me, I will have to make things hard for you too!” Aliona raised her own brow and glanced at Anastasia with a pleased look. “Anastasia, you better know what is best for you. Don’t stand in my way.”
Anastasia stood up from her seat and she gravely warned the woman in front of her. “Try laying a finger on my son and see what happens.”
Aliona was startled by the fight Anastasia was putting up and the proud expression on her face was instantly wiped off. She soon got close to Anastasia again. “That is why it is better for us to come out of this unharmed, no?”
After saying that, she turned around and opened the door to leave the office.
Anastasia’s heart was still thumping wildly as she looked at Aliona’s retreating back. Jared had been her Achilles heel ever since he was born into this world, so she would always feel uneasy whenever someone were to get too close to her son.
There was nothing Aliona wouldn’t do to have Elliot.
She was still worried by the time she returned to her own office. Her mission should have been carried out flawlessly, and yet, she had to face off against Anastasia, who was also the biggest stumbling block in her path to completing her plan.
Elliot looked as though he could never fall for any woman other than Anastasia. Aliona held a grudge against Anastasia because of that and it made her angry that she couldn’t win against Anastasia.
It was around 11.00AM when Anastasia’s landline began to ring, so she picked up the phone and swiftly said hello.
“Come to my office,” a man’s voice informed her from the other side of the call.
When she heard that, she immediately rejected him. “I am busy with work.”
“Come and get your bracelet.” The man’s low voice rang out again.
Not wanting to make a trip to his office for a bracelet, she brushed him off. “Give it to someone else. I don’t want it.”
Elliot started to threaten her. “Anastasia, do you want me to give it to you in front of the whole office?”
His words immediately gave Anastasia a headache and she asked in a baffled manner, “Elliot, must I accept it just because you want to give me it?”
“I will give you 2 minutes. If you don’t come up by then, I will be coming down to you.” He then hung up after saying that.
Anastasia took in a deep breath and she eventually still stood up from her chair.
A man was fiddling with an exquisite woman’s bracelet in the president’s office. He had a bracelet thicker than the one he was playing around with on his wrist and it complemented the limited edition wristwatch he had on.
As she pushed open the door to come in, a smile instantly appeared on the man’s face. With his deep eyes locked on her, he elegantly stood up and made his way toward her.
“Why don’t you ever listen to me?” Elliot asked grumpily as he looked at her being all upset. It was always after he threatened her that she would listen to him.
Seeing the thin bracelet in his palm, she declared with no mercy, “Bring it for a refund. I don’t want to accept this present.”
However, just as she finished saying that, the man had grabbed her by her wrist and was trying to put it on her despite her refusal. “A refund? For what? I want to wear matching bracelets with you.”
And just like that, Anastasia now had a bracelet on her wrist. Even though the design was simple, the gemstones on it probably weren’t cheap.
“It looks quite lovely on you. You aren’t allowed to remove it,” he demanded.
She looked at the bracelet, her emotions a mess. She was troubled as to whether she should accept it or give it back.
Elliot suddenly started undoing the buttons of his top at this moment, making Anastasia look at him with her guard up. “What are you doing?” she asked him thereafter.
The man only continued to unbutton the first 3 buttons of his shirt, and the moment he did so, she noticed a familiar-looking necklace hanging on his neck. She unknowingly gasped, “How did you manage to get it done so soon?”
It was the necklace that she had designed for him before. She hadn’t expected him to wear it so soon.
