Chapter 150

The waiter named the price with a smile. “That will be 5,888, thank you!"Anastasia’'s almond-shaped eyes widened when she heard theunbelievably expensive price tag that the cup of coffee had. “That'sunreasonably expensive!”

"The coffee was brewed with coffee beans of the finest quality, so it isdefinitely worth the price.”

Anastasia was rendered speechless. The coffee cost me a fortunealthough I have barely sipped it-1 didn't even manage to relish thetaste. “Fine, just get me the bill. Pack the coffee too. Add some ice,sugar and cream please.” Then, she took out her card and handed it toa stunned waiter.

The waiter immediately asked his colleague to pack the drink. However,Anastasia's action led Leah, who was sitting near the window, to scoff ather. “Anastasia, my apologies. I've forgotten that you are an ordinarywhite-collar employee. I reckon that this cup of coffee must have costabout half of your monthly salary!”

Anastasia wasn't bothered to respond and she was unfazed by theunusual glances from the waiters around. When the waiter handed herthe coffee, she took the coffee and left with her chest puffed out.

Upon seeing that, Leah was so pissed that she clenched her teeth.Anastasia's really a tough nut to crack, she thought.

It was almost lunch hour when Anastasia returned to the office. Sheasked Felicia out for lunch and told her about all that had happenedearlier that day.

“What? She was spiteful to you?” Felicia asked in shock.

“Yes! She even attempted to force me to leave my friends, so shedeliberately made things difficult for me. It wasn't her intention to dobusiness with us at all.” At that point, Anastasia had yet to mention theincident about the coffee!

“In that case, I'll make a request with the management to collectliquidated damages from her instead. I can’t put you in a difficultsituation because of this,” a reasonable Felicia replied, to whichAnastasia nodded and responded, “Sorry for the trouble, Felicia.”

“No worries. We can't let anyone bully us because of this, eh?” Feliciasmiled. Besides, with Elliot around, nobody can lay a finger on you!

At about 2.00PM, she went upstairs to Elliot's office. Elliot was sitting onthe couch reading a document. The man displayed high work efficiency;the large pile of documents that had been on his desk that morninghad vanished with only a few remaining documents.

“President Presgrave, I have something I'd like to report to you,” Feliciauttered.

Elliot placed the documents down and nodded. “Go ahead.”

She reiterated the incident that had happened that morning, wherebyAnastasia had met Leah, before she added, “I'd talk to you regardingtheir request for liquidated damage.”

It was apparent that Elliot's expression darkened when he heard thestory. “How dare she request for liquidated damages from ourcompany after she bullied my staff! Does Miss Hart think that our legaldepartment is good for nothing?” he coldly replied:

Felicia was stunned by his response. It seems like President Presgrave isreally enraged!

“I'll phone Miss Hart and discuss with her to see whether we can resolvethis amicably.”

“Invite Miss Hart over in the afternoon. I'd like to personally talk to herabout the liquidated damages,” he impassively replied. It seemed likehe had no plans to let this slide easily.

She was pleased upon seeing his reaction. I can't wait for theinteresting drama to unfold. “Noted, President Presgrave.”

After Felicia had left the room, Elliot narrowed his eyes and thought,That woman was bullied?

On the other hand, Felicia called Leah the first thing after returning toher office. She invited Leah over to talk about the liquidated damageswithout mentioning that Elliot wanted to see her: personally. Leahcoincidentally happened to be nearby, so she would be arriving in 20minutes, at most.

Thereafter, Felicia went to Anastasia’s office to inform her that Leah'smatter would be handled by Elliot, which stunned Anastasia. “Does heeven have the time to deal with this?"

“Anastasia, do you think Leah would receive the liquidated damages?”“She would be really lucky if she really gets it; it would be as if earningtwo million is like a walk in the park. I would have done so if it's reallythat good of a deal.” Anastasia’s eyes beamed at the discovery of a newway to become rich.

“Don't be foolish. That's a crime. It's more realistic to go to work.” Withthat, Felicia left the scene with a grin.

Anastasia propped her chin on her arm and dropped the thought.Twenty minutes later, Leah arrived at their office along with her bestfriend. Felicia invited them into a reception room and greeted themwarmly.
