Chapter 158

“Didn't you send someone in the afternoon to summon me to youroffice?” Anastasia asked the man on the sofa.

Frowning, Elliot replied, “I didn't.”

Immediately, she remembered that it was Grace who came to relay themessage. But where did she get the orders from? Obviously, this wasplanned to make the situation look like a coincidence.

Sneering deep down, Anastasia already knew that this was another oneof Hayley’s ploys.

Still sitting on the sofa, Elliot asked with his seductive low voice, “Doyou still need me to explain all to you again?”

Giving his phone back to him, Anastasia noticed that his pale skin wasunnaturally flushed. Paired with a sweat-covered forehead, the usuallystern looking Elliot looked a bit weak under the light.

“A-Are you alright?” Anastasia asked guiltily. Don't tell me it's becauseof the spicy food tonight!

“My stomach hurts.” Covering his stomach with his big hand, he thenadded strugglingly, “It's fine, though. It's still bearable.”

Frightened, Anastasia kneeled by the man in panic as she askedhurriedly, “Does it hurt a lot? Do you want to go to the hospital? If youhave stomach problems, why did you eat all that spicy food just now?You could've just told me! Why are you so dumb?!"

Anastasia was panicking and she could no longer think straight, as sheblamed herself and him for not voicing this fact out.

Seeing her in this state, Elliot chuckled after admiring this scene in frontof him for a while. “If I didn't eat all that, how would you have forgivenme?"

Feeling her chest tighten, Anastasia knew that it was indeed her fault asshe made all those spicy food on purpose.

“Then what should we do now? Should we go to the hospital?” Shelooked at him guiltily.

“No need. There's a pharmacy at the entrance of the community, so justget me a box of stomach medicine from there.” After saying that, Elliothanded over the empty cup to her. “And I'll have to trouble you foranother cup of warm water.”

After refilling the cup with warm water and passing it to him, Anastasiathen rushed out with her bag and keys.

In the elevator, she was greatly regretting her actions. I shouldn't havepranked him like this! How was I supposed to know that he had a weakstomach?

Thinking about it, a workaholic like him having stomach problems wasnot out of the ordinary. However, it didn’t show because he took careof his body daily. It was due to the spiciness of the food tonight andthe amount that she fed him that the ugly head of his stomach painsreared itself as a result.

Let's just get the medicine as fast as possible! If it really doesn't work, Ican ask Rey to come and take him to the hospital.

And so, Anastasia rushed home after buying the medicine. However,when she opened the door, she was met with the sight of Elliotclutching his stomach. He looked as if he was in agony at that moment.“I've bought some medicine for you. Here, take two of these.” With that,she then saw that the instructions was actually to take three, so shetook out three pills before giving it to Elliot. “Just take it first! If it reallydoesn't work out, I'll call for Rey to come and take you to the hospital.”Elliot took the pills and swallowed it with the help of some water. Lyingon the sofa, he then said, “There's no need for that. I just have to restfor a while.”

A panicked Anastasia was drenched in sweat, as she had run back andforth from the pharmacy. Looking deeply at her, the man was secretlyquite happy inside due to her showing such concern for him.

As expected, this woman cares about me.

Yet, he was mistaken. The reason why Anastasia was in such a panic wasonly because she was trying to make up for the fact that she caused hisstomach to ache.

After all, she wasn't at peace with the fact that she harmed him.

“You really don’t need to go to the hospital? There's one quite nearby,you know?" Still worried, Anastasia asked as she did not want him tosuffer any longer.

I'm not as fragile as you think. I'll be fine after bearing with it for amoment.” With that, Elliot kept sipping from her cup from time to time.Relaxing for a bit, she finally sat down onto the sofa while she breathedout. Then, she said guilty, “You should've told me that you can'tstomach spicy food! Also, you should've told me earlier that you havestomach issues. Otherwise, I would've had...”

Meanwhile Elliot was starting to compile all the things that had takenplace. Why did she prank me? Is it because she saw the scene where Iwas blowing on Hayley's eyes? Did Anastasia think that I was going tokiss Hayley? Is that the reason why she’s angry? Is it out of jealousy thatshe pranked me? Can it be that Anastasia has fallen in love with me?
