Room for You
Chapter 196

Chapter 196 Elliot opened his eyes but he looked lost, obviouslymeaning that he was still tipsy.

It was due to too much alcohol in such a short amount of time thatcaused him to be like this.

Stopping the car at Anastasia’s community entrance, the bodyguardcame to open the door immediately, while simultaneously reaching tohelp Elliot up. Not wanting his help, Elliot shook away his arm. “I'm fine.I don't need any help.”

Even though Elliot was drunk, he still cared about maintaining hisstrong image in front of Anastasia, as he did not want her to think thathe was already at his limit.

“Sir, please don't leave first. You'll have to send him back later,” saidAnastasia to the bodyguard, to which the bodyguard nodded inresponse.

“Alright. I'll stay here and wait for the president.”

Just as Elliot began to walk, Anastasia came over to help him. “Watchyour step.”

Of course, he wasn't drunk to the point of not being able to walkproperly, but the slender arm holding him made him happy. Hence, hedidn't struggle, as showing the occasional weakness in front of thiswoman was necessary.

Passing through the romantic garden under the moonlight, theyreached the elevator and went up to her floor. Opening the door, Elliotthen walked inside her house.

Although it was just a small two room apartment, it had a strangeattraction that made him feel even more at home than his own house.Using his arm as a pillow, Elliot laid down lazily on the sofa, and helooked at the woman that was pouring water and searching for themedicine.

“I remember it was here! Where has it gone now? Did I throw it away?”The sound of the woman mumbling to herself came from the cabinet.Meanwhile, Elliot was not in a hurry and he wished that she wouldn'treplace the medicine anytime soon. That way, he could have a reason tostay for the whole night.

Because of the amount of work she had, Anastasia had some of hermemories jumbled up. Finally, she remembered that she kept themedicine inside the cabinet of her room. Rushing over quickly, shefound them, just as she expected

After reading the instructions, she took three pills and poured a cup ofwarm water for him.

“Here are the pills. There you go.” Setting them down on the coffeetable, Anastasia watched as the man took it.

Standing up, Elliot took the pills without any hesitation. After takingthem, he continued to lie on the sofa, watching her. “I want to rest for abit more.”

On the other hand, Anastasia couldn't chase him right away too, due tohis current state being caused by him attending her father's banquet.Under the light, it was obvious that Elliot had a flush on his handsomeface, showing the signs of being drunk.

Even Anastasia, who drank a glass of alcohol on his behalf, was feelingthe burn of the alcohol in her stomach, which was why her heart achedfor Elliot, who had downed a few glasses.

“Why did you drink that for me just now? You really do care about me,don't you?” Elliot asked in his low baritone.

Glancing at him, Anastasia replied, “You think too much of yourself. Ijust don't want anything to happen to you at my father's banquet.”Upon hearing that, Elliot was a bit speechless by the woman who keptrunning away from her own feelings. “Is it that hard for you to admitthat you care about me?”

Snorting, Anastasia rolled her eyes in response. “President Presgrave,you really do like to indulge in your own fantasies, don't you?”However, Elliot suddenly hissed as he clutched his chest.

Anastasia, who was just snorting at him, immediately asked, “What'swrong?”

As she asked that, she walked over to the side of the sofa, leaning downto look at his face. “Is there anywhere else that hurts?"

But at that instant, Elliot caught hold of her wrist and with a tug, hepulled her into his embrace. The next second, he flipped over andpressed her against the sofa

Seeing the man's sly smile made Anastasia realize that she had beentricked.

"You..."

“And you say you don't care for me. Aren“t you showing plenty of careright now?” Elliot smirked as he wasn't going to let her escape thateasily.

"You... Get off me! Who said that I was concerned for you? I-1 just didn'twant anything that happened to you to implicate my dad too.”Anastasia simply picked an excuse and went with it.

But in Elliot's eyes, that was all just nonsense.
