Chapter 103

“Just go back first. I still have work to do,” Elliot continued.

Hayley looked at him longingly. Every time she visited him, she wouldcome with joy and expectation, but she would always leave indisappointment. Remembering how he had gone to save Anastasiawithout another word, she felt Anastasia must be more important tohim than anyone else.

Meanwhile, Anastasia returned to her office, void of all inspiration. Asense of annoyance stopped her from working, but she couldn't figureout what it was. Just then, a figure strode out of the elevator, and it wasnone other than the man himself-Nigel.

Nigel was about to go to Anastasia’s office when he bumped into Alice.When Alice saw Nigel, she immediately smiled and greeted him. “Hi,Handsome. Here to see Anastasia?”

“Yes. Is she in her office?”

“Handsome, a word of advice. Anastasia’s relationship with our boss iskind of suspicious. As her boyfriend, you have to be careful.”

Nigel's handsome face froze as he spoke to Alice. “Tell me. What sort ofunspeakable relationship does Anastasia have with your boss?”

Alice immediately pointed toward the deserted pantry. “We'll talkthere.”

Nigel followed Alice to the pantry out of curiosity. Alice gazed at himwith a pitiful look as she said, “Handsome, you probably don't knowthis. Anastasia joined a jewelry competition, and our company hasprepared a cash prize of 1 million for the winner.”

Nigel had heard Anastasia mention it before; it was something alongthose lines.

“In order to win the prize, your girlfriend is doing everything she can tosuck up to our boss. They were flirting in the office, and she even wenton dates with him quite often. They were so intimate, and I'm onlytelling you this because I can't stand it anymore. Handsome, you haveto be careful in case your girlfriend gets stolen.” As Alice gazed atNigel's handsome face, she felt that it was too unfair.

Where did Anastasia replace such a handsome boyfriend?

Nigel emerged from the pantry and went straight to Anastasia's office.Anastasia was still occupied with her troubled thoughts when she sawNigel walk in all of a sudden. She was stunned for a few seconds.“Nigel, what brings you here?” Anastasia smiled as she got up towelcome him.

Nigel looked at her, unable to believe the scenes he had witnessedtoday. He smiled. “Nothing much, just thought I'd drop by to see you.”“Do you have time tomorrow? I can treat you to a meal.” Anastasia stillfelt guilty about canceling her plans with him today.

“Anastasia, I heard some rumors in the office just now. It's about youand my cousin,” Nigel said on purpose.

Anastasia tensed up. “What did you hear?”

“I heard that you seduced my cousin just to win the jewelrycompetition. Is it true?”

“What are those people saying? How could I do such a thing?”Anastasia thought it ridiculous. Of course, she wouldn't appeal to Elliotjust to win a prize.

“Do you honestly don't have those kinds of thoughts about my cousin?”Nigel earnestly locked his gaze on her as he asked.

Anastasia said without hesitation, “Of course not! I'm just hissubordinate.”

Nigel bit his thin lip, then asked again, “Then were you really havinglunch in the company this afternoon?”

“I... I wasn't. I treated someone else to lunch. I owe him a lot, so I had totreat him.” Anastasia was honest now because she couldn't lie when shelooked into Nigel's pure eyes.

“Then where did you bring him for lunch?”

“Home. I cooked for him.” Anastasia didn’t want to lie, so she cameclean.

“Why don't you eat out? Do you really have to go home and cook?”Nigel asked.

“He probably thought my cooking was good,” Anastasia answeredwithout overthinking it.

At that moment, Nigel instantly realized something because Anastasiacouldn't possibly seduce his cousin. On the contrary, his cousin hadfallen for her, and he was trying to win her over in his own way!

“Do you want some coffee?” Anastasia asked him.

“It's fine. I'm leaving for a while to get something done.” With that,Nigel left right away, leaving her confused.

Where is he going?
