Chapter 152

At that point, Leah was cracking her head to figure out a way to obtainElliot's forgiveness. Therefore, when Anastasia suddenly added fuel tothe fire, she couldn't help but secretly glare at Anastasia.

On the other hand, when Elliot heard Anastasia’s words, the expressionon his face became colder, which made Leah even more anxious.

“I'm sorry, Mr. Presgrave. It wasn't intentional. I thought that MissTillman would fancy that coffee.” Leah tried hard to save her ownimage. After all, Elliot was Nigel's cousin, so she couldn't afford to ruinher image in front of Elliot!

Upon hearing that, Anastasia revealed a smile. “Miss Hart, how aboutthis-I'm willing to let this slide as long as you apologize to me andreturn the money for the coffee to me.”

Leah was really reluctant to accept her offer, but she was aware thatAnastasia’s suggestion could help her out of this embarrassingsituation. Hence, she had no choice but to suppress her rage andnodded. “Alright, I'll apologize to you. Just forget about thecompensation and I'll give you the money for the coffee.”

Upon seeing that Anastasia had named her conditions, Elliot remainedquiet and didn't raise any objections. Anastasia was seen taking out herphone and tapping on her phone to open the QR code that allowed herto receive payment. Then, Leah quickly used her phone to scan thecode and transfer the 5,888.

At the same time, she inhaled a deep breath and said, “Miss Tillman, I'msorry. Please forgive my impoliteness.”

Anastasia took her phone and confirmed that she had received themoney before replying without raising her head. “Okay, I forgive you.”When the man saw the woman eagerly checking the transfer with herhead bowed, the coldness in his eyes was replaced by a hint ofaffectionate smile. Her eyes are basically glued to the money.

“Mr. Presgrave, I'm sorry to have taken up your precious time. I havesomething else to attend to. I shall take my leave.” Leah tugged herfemale companion beside her. They quickly pulled the door open andfled the room for fear that they might offend the man if they were tostay for another second.

Anastasia took her phone and gratefully glanced at that man.“President Presgrave, thank you for standing up for me.”

"Add another dish tonight.” He raised his eyebrow at her, gesturing ather that he preferred her to show her gratitude through actions.

She suppressed her laughter and said while standing at the door, “Sure.How about two extra dishes? Will that be enough, PresidentPresgrave?” Her words ended with a long tone, but she totally had noidea that it actually sounded especially enticing when she called hisname like that. It resembled a feather that gently brushed across hisheart.

Elliot's heart skipped a beat, after which he replied with raised brows,“Don't forget to cook more

fice:

“Sure!” Anastasia, who was embarrassed to talk about this topic in theoffice, immediately pulled the door open and left.

Although she had been pissed that day, the whole incident ended in away that alleviated her anger.

By that point, Leah, who had returned to her car, was so enraged thatshe slammed the steering wheel while her female companion sittingnext to her had a look of displeasure. “I wonder what Anastasia did thatallowed her to get Elliot to stand up for him.”

“I'll definitely replace a chance to get my revenge on her for thehumiliation that I've endured today.” Leah was so mad that she nearlyfainted.

Felicia dealt with the matter that involved Leah so well that nobody inthe office knew that it was Elliot who actually took the initiative to setthings straight for Anastasia. Otherwise, Anastasia would have madeeveryone burn in jealousy.

In fact, Anastasia, who was carefree in character, wasn't bothered bythat incident as well since she had gotten back her money. She hadlearned that she shouldn't allow things that had nothing to do with herto occupy her time.

At 3:00 PM, after having a few words with Felicia, Anastasia pushedopen the door to her own office. Unexpectedly, she found Nigel sittingon her seat.

Upon seeing that she had returned, Nigel spun around on the chair andflashed a bright grin at her, revealing his dazzling, pearly white teeth“Why are you here? Are you done with the renovation work?” Anastasiaasked as she walked into the room.

“I'm here to check around and to pay you a visit and also to havedinner with you and Jared tonight.”

“Huh? Tonight?” Her heart leapt into her mouth as she had to cookdinner for Elliot that night.

“I'm thirsty,” Nigel said, then he extended his hand to grab the glass ofwater on her desk. Anastasia’s eyes widened. With speed as fast aslightning, she snatched the glass. “You can't drink from my glass.”“Don't be so stingy! Taking a sip won't hurt!” He bit his lips, looking asthough he was hurt by her reaction.
