Chapter 121

Hayley finally felt a little safer. My scheme worked perfectly, and Imanaged to enter without having to sneak in. “This is my first timecoming to a place like this, and I don’t know anyone. Can I stay withyou, Elliot?” Hayley knew that the most eye-catching spot she couldtake would be the one beside Elliot, which would make her his femalepartner. She wanted to stay by his side so that other women wouldn'tget a chance with him.

Elliot knew that Hayley grew up in a regular family, and he knew thatshe wasn't familiar with such places. “Okay. Bring a drink over, and youcan stay with me,” he said with a nod.

"Okay!" Hayley walked off happily. She glanced at her surroundings insearch of Anastasia, but she couldn't replace her anywhere as there weretoo many guests.

Meanwhile, Anastasia was sitting by a window seat near the buffet area.Right then, a male guest who was in his thirties walked over and satnext to Anastasia. “Hey there. I don't have a spot to sit, so can I sithere?”

“Sure!” Anastasia looked up and smiled. The man's eyes lit up themoment he saw her smile-he had noticed her gorgeous figure earlier,and he could tell that she was a pretty lady. However, he wasimmediately blown away when he saw her smiling. The man's heartpounded as he realized what he wanted to do-he wanted to get toknow her and chase after her. “My name is Samuel Stone. And youare?” he asked.

“I'm Anastasia Tillman,” she replied.

“That's a really pretty name, Miss Tillman. Are you here alone?” heasked.

“Yeah! I'm with a friend, but he’s busy now, so I'm alone,” she replied.“That's such a coincidence. I'm the general manager of First WorldCompany, and I'm involved in the asset transaction business.” Hehanded her his name card while speaking. He was consideredsuccessful for his age, and Anastasia eyed him with a surprised lookafter hearing what he said. “That's really impressive! You're already ageneral manager at such a young age.”

"You're being too nice. What do you do, Miss Tillman?”

“I'm a jewelry designer,” she replied.

“Woah. You must be really talented.” Samuel found himself moreattracted to her. She wasn't just a pretty face; she was also a designer.Right then, Anastasia’s phone began to ring. She glanced at her phonebefore picking it up. “Hello, Nigel.”

“Hey, Anastasia. My Dad's making me talk to guests, but I promise tocome and get you in ten minutes,” he uttered

“Don't worry about it. You should focus on entertaining the guests,”Anastasia said in an understanding tone.

“Ah! I'm so annoyed, but my dad wants to introduce me to morepeople. It's giving me a

headache,” he grumbled.

“You shouldn't think of it that way! Tons of people would love to havesuch connections. You should spend time with these guests since they'llbe really helpful for your work.” Anastasia tried to comfort him.

“Yeah. I feel a lot better after listening to your voice. Where are younow?” he asked.

“I'm eating at the buffet area,” she replied.

“Okay. I'll come to look for you in a while,” he replied. After Anastasiaended Nigel's call, she looked up to see a couple walking in. It was Elliotand Hayley. Anastasia narrowed her eyes when she saw Hayley as shehadn't expected Hayley to come. Furthermore, she hadn't expectedHayley to come with Elliot. A cold smirk spread across Anastasia’s faceas she thought, Hayley's scheming skills must have improved, huh?She's good at using manipulative tactics, but she’s even able to applythem to Elliot now. Impressive.

Anastasia looked away, and her eyes met Samuel's. He was staring ather with a look of admiration on his face. She gave him a cheerful smile,and he felt his heart rate doubling instantly. He felt like he was about toget a heart attack. “You're so pretty, Miss Tillman!” he said.

“Thank you.” She gave him a polite smile.

Elliot had walked over with Hayley for a meal, but his focus had beenshifted the moment he saw the woman by the window. He narrowed hisicy gaze when he saw Anastasia beaming at the man in front of her.They looked like they were having a fun time talking to each other.“Let's replace a spot to sit down, Elliot!” Hayley looked around hersurroundings, and she immediately caught sight of Anastasia. The tablebeside Anastasia’s had just gotten up to leave, so Hayley quicklygrabbed Elliot's arm and led him over. “There's a spot there,” sheuttered daringly.
