“What is there to help out with?”

“Anastasia, help me take a look if the amount of wine here is correct ornot. As you know, the employees in hotels can have less than desirablehabits sometimes.” Naomi's loud voice attracted the ire of nearbywaiters

Feeling extremely humiliated, Anastasia wished she wasn't acquaintedwith the woman. In the end, she said calmly, “This is a five-star hotel, sono such thing would happen. Now, if there isn’t anything else, then I'llbe excusing myself first.”

After that, Anastasia was going to open the door and go out, butNaomi made a move to grab onto her. “Wait! Anastasia, I havesomething to say to you.”

Feeling slightly disgusted, Anastasia avoided her touch. “You can saywhatever you want to without having to touch me.”

“Anastasia, you know that Erica has also bought a house recently, right?After your dad bought one for you, he insisted on buying one for hertoo. I couldn't even persuade him not to do so,” Naomi saidfrustratingly.

Smirking deep down, Anastasia kept up a calm facade as shecountered, “That's between you people. You don't need to tell me that.”"Of course I have to tell you that! Do you know how hard it is for yourfather to be the sole breadwinner of the family? On top of that, thecompany isn't going through its best period recently, so don't disturbhim if you don’t have much going on. Also, don't try to borrow moneyfrom him these days. Just try to spend within your means.” Everythingthat Naomi said pointed to one message-Anastasia had better notfurther spend any of Francis’ money.

Even if Naomi did not state this, Anastasia knew all this herself.

“Your dad hasn't been sleeping all that well these nights. I think it mightbe due to the stress.”

The guilt started to well up within Anastasia, as the house that her dadbought for her did cost a pretty penny. Maybe Dad really is quitestressed nowadays.

“Anastasia, I heard from your father that you're now working underYoung Master Elliot, right? Could I trouble you to ask if he’s still hiring?Erica is also hoping to land a job in his company,” Naomi immediatelymurmured.

Upon hearing that, Anastasia sneered deep down as she could see rightthrough Naomi's little trick. I think she just wants Erica to get close toElliot!

With that thought, she then opened the door and looked to the greathall. As expected, Erica had already made herself comfortable onAnastasia's original seat beside Elliot.

S

Anastasia then realized that Naomi was just calling her away as adistraction. And so, the former opened the door fully and left.

“Hey! Anastasia, I haven't even finished yet! Do you have any manners?I'm your senior! You should be respecting me!” Behind her, Naomi wasso livid she started to stomp her foot

At that point, practically all the guests had arrived, with Elliot's tablebeing the only one that had just one person sitting at it. This wasprobably because nobody dared to sit there.

Weaving through the various tables, Anastasia was making her wayback when another voice called out to her. “Miss Tillman, can I have thehonor of sitting with

you?"

Turning back, she saw that it was Alex, so she instantly smiled andreplied, “Of course you can! Let's go over to that table.”

Gleefully, he nodded and followed Anastasia to Elliot's table.

Seeing how Anastasia’'was coming over, Erica could not help the hint ofrevolt that flashed across her gaze, as she thought that a high andmighty man like Elliot wouldn't even spare an extra glance at Anastasia,like he did to herself.

Hearing the footsteps, Elliot finally drew his gaze from his phone, Hecoincidentally saw Anastasia sitting down together with a man oppositehim. It was the same man that was chatting happily along with her justnow.

“President Presgrave, this is Mr. Alex Hunter. He's responsible for thefinancial department in my dad's company.” Then, she continued, “Andthis is my company’s boss, Mr. Elliot Presgrave.”

“Hello, Mr. Presgrave,” Alex courteously greeted.

“Hello.” Raising his eyebrows slightly, Elliot gave off a feeling of asuccessful man that nobody at the venue could match up to.“Anastasia, have you seen Mr. Presgrave at the company before?” Ericaasked smilingly, as she thought that a normal employee wouldn't haveany chances to catch a glimpse of the boss.

Anastasia sneered in response. “President Presgrave is extremely busy.How would I be able to see him?"

Meanwhile, Elliot was looking at Anastasia with his deep gaze as shespun tales. At that instant, he could not help the loving smile thatplayed on his lips
