However, Elliot managed to stir her mind into disarray and broke her last shred of sanity. His presence was dominating and lingering, so much so that it was impossible for Anastasia not to fall for him.

The kiss made Anastasia taste the feeling of being in love. Her shyness made her eyes red like her blushing cheeks.

Elliot stroked her long hair and kissed her on the forehead. He was pleased that she gradually accepted his feelings, which filled him with hope and expectations.

However, they didn’t know that a camera in a hidden corner captured their kissing scene. They continued flirting in the corner of the café, just like an average couple.

After lunch, the two returned to the company. Sitting in the office, Anastasia kept thinking about the moment when they spent time together. This was what lovebirds would do, throwing their works away and kept daydreaming.

Jeez! What a dangerous man.

Love was like nicotine. One would get addicted after first contact, and it would be hard to quit. At this moment, her cell phone rang. She picked up and looked at the screen, after which she couldn’t help but purse her lips and smile. It was Nigel, a man she had not been in contact with for a long time.

Oh, it’s Nigel. I wonder what’s up.

“Hey, Nigel.”

“Long time no see! I miss you and Jared. Want to have dinner together?” he immediately invited her to a meal.

“What have you been up to?”

“My dad sent me to study abroad for a month. I was so busy! I just got off the plane this morning.”

“Maybe you should rest.”

“Not now. So, it’s a deal! I’ll treat you to dinner tonight.” Nigel ended the call.

Anastasia couldn’t help but smile at the thought of dinner; however, her smile froze when the sudden thought of Elliot crossed her mind.

Oh no, will he misunderstand? Wait a minute. Why do I care about him so much? No, I should tell him. Or else he’ll get jealous.

After a train of thought, she picked up the phone and dialed his number.

“Hello.” His voice was cold, which was his usual tone to others.

“It’s me,” Anastasia said.

He immediately said with a deep voice, “Miss me?”

“No. Nigel invited Jared and me to dinner tonight. I have to inform you about this to prevent you from inviting yourself to my house for dinner tonight.”

“This little mutt didn’t invite me!” Elliot couldn’t help but complain. “I’ll find him.” After that, he hung up the call.

Anastasia felt amused at his antics. After a while, her phone rang again, and she picked it up. “Hi.”

“We can have dinner together tonight.” His mood was getting better after he was told that he could join them.

“Jeez, what are you doing? Nigel kindly invited us to dinner, but you are mad at him instead.”

“Why do you care?” Elliot’s tone was filled with jealousy.

“Jeez, knock it off.” Anastasia laughed.

The man on the other end of the line immediately answered, “Alright, I’ll stop.” His voice sounded like a tamed beast with a hoarse voice.

Those words turned into a feather and tickled her heart, and she quickly hung up the call after giving a simple response.

I can never win against Elliot’s teasing.

After a while, Felicia came over to Anastasia and asked about her son’s situation. She didn’t hide the truth from her superior and told her that Elliot had settled the incident.

…

Meanwhile, Aliona couldn’t concentrate on her work in the office, for her mind was filled with her desire to get closer to Elliot. Even so, she understood that Elliot was not an easy man. Aside from Anastasia, he would never give another woman a chance to get near him.

Landing herself a man was an easy job for Aliona, but even Riley couldn’t figure out Elliot’s temperament. Thus, Aliona wasn’t sure how she should seduce Elliot.

Right now, her biggest enemy was Anastasia. Aliona had acted too confidently in front of Riley before this, so she was reluctant to report her progress to him. Naturally, this made her anxious too.

At the same time, Alice had just received a call, and a smug smile appeared on her face. Her colleague had placed Anastasia’s manuscript on the counter, thus making it the company’s prized collection. Now, Alice simply needed to wait for the show where Anastasia would embarrass herself.

She wanted to thoroughly destroy Anastasia’s reputation in the design industry, and she was willing to wait patiently for that very moment.

…

Meanwhile, Hayley was lying on an operating table somewhere in Hogland. Her fists were clenched, and her heart was full of fear. After all, she was betting her life and face on her future.

The only thing that gave her the courage to risk it all was the possibility of being the Young Mistress of the Presgrave Family. After the surgery, she could seduce Elliot with a face similar to Anastasia’s and win his heart. In fact, she was certain that she would succeed.

When the anesthetic needle punctured her body, the pain she felt was unbearable. However, she gritted her teeth and imagined Elliot’s face to endure the pain. This was the only way for her to bear the agony.

The words of the translator resounded in Hayley’s mind. The surgeon warned her that this operation would be dangerous as he had to perform surgery on many parts of her face, and he wanted her to think about the possible consequences. Despite the risks, Hayley accepted the surgery without hesitation.

Her own face caused her too much suffering because of Anastasia. After this surgery, her inferiority complex and pain would disappear.

Therefore, she was desperate to change her face.

During the surgery, it seemed like she could hear the sound of her cheekbones being removed with a saw on her face, and the sound made her tremble in horror. She closed her eyes, blaming Anastasia for forcing her into the mess she was in right now.

This is all Anastasia’s fault. I hate her.

…

At 4.00PM, Anastasia held a bouquet of roses while leaving the company. Elliot was waiting for her in the car park to fetch her son from school together.
