Felicia smiled and left without saying another word. However, she had astrong hunch that the roses came from their big boss from upstairs.The meeting was scheduled for 2.30 PM and Felicia sent an email toElliot's mailbox to inform him. It was up to him whether he turned up ornot, but Felicia sure hoped that he would attend it. After all, theproposal for the snack area had been put on hold for quite some timenow, so a lot of their staff were in fact quite looking forward to that.As soon as Anastasia received Grace's reminder about the upcomingmeeting, she quickly tidied up the drafts she was working on and tookher cell phone with her as she headed toward the direction of themeeting room.

Meanwhile, Anastasia realized upon walking in that everyone in themeeting room seemed to be addressing her in a very pleasant manner.“Miss Tillman, thanks for the roses. I heard that it costs at least twohundred to buy a stalk of that!”

“Yeah! The rose can last for at least fifteen days too. The floweringperiod is so long!”

At that moment, Anastasia revealed a slight smile before pulling out achair to take a seat. Suddenly, everyone focused their attention behindher. Elliot had arrived exactly on the dot.

Swiftly, Anastasia turned her head to glance at him before quicklyshifting her eyes in the other direction. She intentionally kept a distancefrom him in the office as she wanted to avoid being involved in anyrumors with him.

“Alright, enough with the chatter, guys. It's time to start the meeting!”Felicia instructed her subordinates to stop their discussion.

Firstly, Felicia made a few announcements regarding some work andthen she also reported on the situation recently with the manuscriptsubmissions. She also talked about the situation with the marketanalysis she had found out.

ALL THE

Meanwhile, Anastasia sat by Elliot's side and her thoughts ran wild asshe sat there. For example, she recalled the incident with his gastritislast night and also the kiss they shared in her bed. Furthermore, shethought of the flowers from this morning

too.

“Anastasia... Ahem! Anastasia...” Felicia tried to get Anastasia’s attentiononce again.

Right away, Anastasia came to her senses and lifted her head to glanceat Felicia with a slightly confused look.

Just then, Alice, who was seated across from Anastasia, was quiteannoyed, so the former took the opportunity to deliver a scathingremark. “Miss Tillman, you seem to be quite preoccupied each time wehave a meeting. This is rather disrespectful of you!”

Anastasia's face turned slightly flushed when she heard that. She wasquite embarrassed as she recalled what she had been thinking ofearlier.

“Forgive me. I was too preoccupied thinking about work-relatedmatters,” Anastasia apologized.

By then, everyone in the meeting room had turned to glance at Elliot,who was seated next to her, and each of them wondered how he wouldreact to knowing that his staff was daydreaming during a meeting.However, they were stunned to see Elliot's expression. Right now, hewas looking at Anastasia with a doting gaze that held a hint ofamusement.

"Anastasia, we were just talking about the introduction of a tea breakarea. What do you think about that?” Felicia chose that moment tobring up this topic.

Instantly, Anastasia recollected herself. “Uh... I think that we shouldswitch to a different dessert shop. I've heard of a very popular placeand I think it would be awesome if we could arrange for that companyto prepare the pastries for our tea break.”

“Oh—could you share the name of the place?” Felicia immediatelyasked.

“It's a patisserie located in town and the name of the place is BellesPatisserie. I've been there plenty of times with my son and the pastriestaste very good. The ingredients that they use are very fresh too.”

With a torn expression, Felicia muttered, “But as far as I know, the pricesof pastries from this place are on the higher end and we do have abudget restraint. Well..."

“Then let's just make arrangements for this shop to join our company.”Suddenly, a low yet dominating male voice rang out.

At that instance, Felicia turned to glance at Anastasia, and there was anapproving

look that flashed across the former's eyes. Indeed, this plan worked andElliot is agreeing

to it!

Meanwhile, Anastasia was quite shocked when she heard that. How canhe just agree to it so easily?!

On the opposite end, Alice shot Anastasia a jealous look as she thoughtto herself, Anastasia is treated so favorably in the company; evenPresident Presgrave gives in to her whims.

“You guys continue with the meeting.” Elliot glanced at his watch andlooked at the time. “I've got something else on, so I'll head off now.”After he left the room, everyone in the meeting room heaved a sigh ofrelief and the first thing that they obviously did was to thank Anastasiafor suggesting the new patisserie, thus successfully obtaining suchgreat staff benefits for them.

Anastasia had merely mentioned it in passing, so she actually didn'texpect that Elliot would agree to her suggestion just like that.

Right after Elliot walked out of the meeting room, he suddenly heardtwo female staff chatting to each other excitedly by the end of thecorridor.

"The flowers were given to us by a designer. The roses are verybeautiful! It's a shame that you weren't here earlier so you missed thechance.”
