Chapter 333 Worth Betting Your Heart On

As though she had been scalded by boiling water, Anastasia immediately retracted her hand and hissed,

“Elliot! Stop messing around!”

“Okay, then! I am fine with a leather belt as well. I want one that fits.” Elliot decided to stop teasing her.

“That is fine. I will give you a leather belt,” she agreed quickly. It was as if she wanted to get away from

him as soon as she could.

After she returned to her office, she was called by a nearby Felicia. “Anastasia, can you come here for a

second?”

Then, Anastasia followed her to a quiet corner in the pantry.

“Anastasia, have you heard news about our company’s relocation?” Felicia suddenly asked.

As she was surprised by Felicia’s words, Anastasia asked in return, “Relocation? Where to?”

“I heard that they have vacated 2 floors in Presgrave Corporation for us to use as our new office space.”

She added with a smile, “We are moving to Presgrave Corporation.”

“What?!” Anastasia couldn’t help but feel surprised about it. Why didn’t Elliot tell me? she thought. Why

are we moving to his company out of nowhere?

“Regardless, this is a good thing. Our new office will definitely be bigger than now. I am sure we will have

more benefits working there too.”

Anastasia blankly blinked after hearing Felicia’s words. She wanted to replace a time to ask Elliot if the

rumor about the relocation was true.

Right at this moment, Felicia’s observant eyes landed on the new bracelet on her friend’s wrist and she

laughed out loud. “A present from President Presgrave?” she asked.

The question left Anastasia’s cheeks burning. “Felicia, did you choose this?”

“Sure did! He gave me a rather abrupt call one day, and I had to rush off to a jewelry store to pick out a

pair. I finally chose two matching ones that came to 2,000,000 and thought it was for Aliona!”

Anastasia’s breath hitched. 2,000,000? That is super expensive!

A smiling Felicia then continued, “I didn’t expect it to be for you. I would have chosen something more

expensive if I had known.”

Anastasia started to turn red from embarrassment under Felicia’s scrutinizing eyes. She felt as though all

her thoughts and emotions were being read like she was an open book.

Felicia lightly patted her on the shoulder a few times. “You have to be braver if you like President

Presgrave. Don’t let anyone slip in when they replace the opportunity to. The president always has some

rather ambitious women revolving around him.”

“I—” Anastasia stammered.

“Admitting that you like someone isn’t something for you to feel ashamed of. Anastasia, I know that you

feel pressured about bringing a child into a new marriage, but President Presgrave is worth betting your

heart on,” Felicia advised genuinely.

Indeed, Anastasia agreed that Elliot was someone whom she could fall in love with. However, she had

an emotional hurdle that she couldn’t easily overcome. That night from 5 years ago had left a deep scar

within her. On top of that, knowing that Hayley and Elliot had shared a past made it so much harder for

her to open her heart to him.

Anastasia’s phone started going off at 11:00AM sharp. As soon as she saw that it was Elliot calling, she

picked up the call and greeted, “Hello!”

“Underground car park. I will see you in five.” In his low, clear voice, he added, “And you can’t say no.”

Since Elliot insisted on buying her a meal, she had no choice but to accept it.

By the time Anastasia arrived at the car park at the appointed time, Elliot was already in his car. She then

opened the door to the passenger’s seat, but didn’t notice how two black SUVs, one at the front and

another behind, had started moving to keep them safe as soon as he drove out of the car park.

They soon arrived at a high-end restaurant.

After they ordered their meal, she blurted out a question that she really wanted to ask him. “I heard that

the company is relocating. Is it true?”

“Mhm. It is.” He briefly nodded in reply.

She picked up her tea cup and asked with a smile, “Why are we moving? The Bourgeois building may be

a little short, but everything else has been perfect.”

“Did you know that I go to and fro from Bourgeois and Presgrave Corporation everyday just to see you?”

Elliot rested his hands in front of his collar with his fingers intertwined as his elbows rested on the table.

His deep gaze was extremely enchanting. “It has been tiring, yes, but I loved every moment of it.”

Anastasia’s breath seemed to stop for a second there. Does he really come to Bourgeois everyday just

to see me?

“But I have realized recently that the security measures in Bourgeois are quite poor. It doesn’t help me

with my work, and this is why I decided to relocate the company. By moving, we can finally work in the

same building. We can also see each other every day, get to and from work together, have coffee

together… It will be easier for us to do anything we want to.”
