Chapter 33

“Really? Then, is his girlfriend showing off their relationship onpurpose? That would explain why she would leave a mark on a spot asobvious as his neck.”

“Yes! This means that President Presgrave is a man as hot as fire. Iwonder how it feels like to stir things up on the bed with him.”

“Wait, who in our company has the ability to get on his bed?”

“I think Anastasia has a good chance. She's beautiful, of course, but shehas also dodged getting fired despite all the trouble she caused. I won'tbelieve it if she isn’t involved with President Presgrave in that sense.You do know that he fired Mr. Lawrence the other day, right? And Mr.Lawrence only committed a tiny mistake.”

“Could it be that the hickey wasn't from his girlfriend but Anastasiainstead? And she placed it there as a challenge to President Presgrave’sgirlfriend?”

The three female employees allowed their imagination to run wild, as ifthey were actually writers of detective novels.

In the cubicle, Hayley's expression kept shifting. She had alreadysuspected that the mark on Elliot's neck wasn't due to an allergy, butshe never expected it to be a hickey.

The girlfriend they were referring to must be Hayley herself, but thehickey had nothing to do with her. If it wasn't her, then some otherwoman must have done it.

Who was with him last night? Was it really Anastasia?

Hayley was green with so much jealousy that it seemed to overwhelmher. If not Anastasia, then who? Was there any other woman by Elliot'sside that he would willingly get so intimate with?

No matter who it was, Hayley wanted her gone. Elliot could only behers and hers alone.

She returned to the office to see Rey sitting on the couch, but Elliot wasnowhere in sight.

“Where's Elliot?”

"Apologies, Miss Seymour. President Presgrave had matters to take careof at the

main office, so he asked me to take you home instead,” said Reycourteously.

Immense disappointment welled up in Hayley’s heart. Although Elliothad fulfilled her material needs generously, he had never been intimatewith her before. She felt like they were both close and distant at thesame time.

Moreover, she had helplessly fallen for him. She would think about himevery day to the point where she wished to offer herself to him as soonas possible.

She didn't want some material compensation; she wanted hiseverything, to be his Mrs. Presgrave.

“I drove here myself. Rey, was Elliot working overtime last night?”Hayley asked curiously.

Rey nodded. “Yes! President Presgrave has been working overtime inthe company these days.”

Hayley pursed her lips. “Then, tell him to rest more often, and don'toverwork himself.”

"Of course.” Rey smiled.

Then, Hayley took her bag and left. She couldn't help but wonder whowas the woman accompanying Elliot last night.

At this moment, Hayley's phone rang. It was a call from Erica.

“Hayley, I'm sad! Drink with me, please!”

Hayley herself wasn't in a good mood either, so she responded, “Sure,where are you? I'll come and get you.”

An hour later, she had removed all the jewelry she was wearing and tiedup her hair to meet Erica. When Erica saw Hayley, she felt that Hayleywas much prettier with a clearer skin.

“What are you up to these days?” Erica asked as she sat with Hayley in amusic bar.

“I'm frequenting a beauty salon these days.” Hayley also knew that shehad become much prettier.

“Oh, hey, are you wearing that latest outfit from Chanel? I saw it onlinebefore.”

“It's a high quality replica. It was difficult for me to purchase it,” Hayleyimmediately lied.

Erica hastily scooted over to touch the fabric. “This fabric is excellent;it's like the real deal! Where did you get it? I want one too.”

“It was the only one in stock.” With that, Hayley changed the topic.“How are you these days?”

“That b*tch Anastasia ruined my family. My dad is spending less time athome now as he’s choosing to head to her place whenever he has thetime. He was even at her place last night until around 10 somethingand it was almost early morning when he came back.”

"Why?" a curious Hayley asked.

“Anastasia said that she had to work overtime, so she asked my dad tobabysit her son. I think she’s just ordering my dad around so that shecan have fun outside.”

Hayley could feel her mind buzzing. Rey had said that Elliot wasworking overtime in the company last night and Anastasia was alsoworking overtime-at the same place and time? Do such coincidencesexist?
