Chapter 191

Even though Alex self-admittingly thought that he was an outstandingindividual, he knew he did not hold a candle to Elliot.

Hailing from a poor background, Alex always acknowledged that theworld wasn't fair. He had sacrificed a lot to reach the top, but somepeople were simply born up at the very top.

Anastasia was a girl that he liked the first moment he laid eyes on her,and she made him feel intoxicated through the short conversation theyhad. With every breath and smile that she took, it served only to makehim fall for her deeper and deeper.

Yet at that moment, Alex could only look on, clenching his fists as theone he loved was by Elliot's side.

Failing to make Elliot budge, Anastasia was about to give up when amiddle-aged woman's voice called to her, “Oh-Anastasia, there you are!Come help me out for a bit.”

What Anastasia saw was Naomi had a kind and warm smile at thatmoment, something the former didn't see everyday.

“Is there anything you need help with?" Anastasia asked as Elliot alsoturned over to look at Naomi.

Upon seeing his face, Naomi felt her heart actually skipped a bit overhow perfect the man's face was. The only flaw was the distant and coldaura he emanated that made him feel like an invisible barrier wassurrounding him.

“And this must be the honorable guest your father mentioned, YoungMaster Elliot!” Hastily, Naomi greeted him, “Hello, Young Master Elliot.I'm Francis’ wife, Naomi Lowell. I hope you'll replace it in your heart toforgive us if there's anything inadequate at the venue!”

To this, Elliot only returned a subtle nod. Thinking back on how themother daughter duo bullied Anastasia back then at the company, hewouldn't even have upheld common courtesy if not for the celebrationtaking place right then.

“Anastasia, come with me for a second. I have something urgent thatcould use your help,” Naomi announced, pretending to look likesomething urgent was going on.

Since it was her father's company celebration today, Anastasia didn'twant to slack off

either, so she said to Elliot, “President Presgrave, I'll be stepping awayfor a bit. Please make yourself comfortable.”

Stating that, Anastasia then stood up and left. At the instant Naomiturned around, the older woman quickly hinted at her daughter.

The actual reason Naomi came was just to make Anastasia leave so thata chance could open up for her daughter, as Elliot was their real targetfor tonight.

Meanwhile, Erica, who was standing not far away, saw her mother's hint.Immediately, she became anxious and excited, wanting to run right toElliot's side Using the mirror at the side, she looked at herself for a fewseconds before purposefully lowering her neckline and pushing herchest up, thereafter walking toward him seductively.

Upon closing in on him, Erica could feel her breath being taken away asshe looked at the man's sharp silhouette. With every look at his clean-cut sideburns and his stunning side profile, she was falling deeper forthe charismatic man.

After a deep breath, she mustered up the sweetest tone she could andsaid, “Hello, Young Master Elliot, Since my sister is busy with somethingelse, my father asked me to accompany you for a bit.”

Saying that, Erica naturally sat on Anastasia’s seat. Her brain instantlyturned into mush the second she made eye contact with Elliot, and shedid not know what to say next.

At that moment, Erica, who wanted to transform into a princess just toshow him her most elegant side, was unaware that the man sitting infront of her had witnessed the fight between her and Anastasia amonth ago.

“I don't need any company, thank you.” Finishing his sentence, Elliotthen picked up his phone and began scrolling through it, all the whileemitting a distant feel.

“What about some drinks, Young Master Elliot? I can bring you some, ifyou so wish.”

“There's no need.”

“Fruits? There's some freshly cut fruits there. I can-"

“No.” Elliot cut her off without even moving his gaze away from hisphone.

Even though Erica knew that Elliot was hard to approach and cold, shewasn't just giving up yet, as she was satisfied by just staying close tohim. “In that case, I'll just

stay here with you. Do let me know if you have any needs.” Proppingup her chin, she looked at him, her expression lovestruck.

As Elliot couldn't make her go away, he just left such a lovestrucklooking person be.

On the other side, Anastasia, who was called to the pantry, was a bitpuzzled as no help was actually needed. There were even a few workerswho could be seen sitting down and chatting.
