Chapter 42

“The subject of today's meeting is that each person will submit amarket research report and regular design works at the end of thismonth. Anastasia and Alice should get ready to participate in thejewelry competition at the end of the month,” Felicia announced.“Felicia, isn't there a rule in the company that outsiders are not allowedto come in and out of the company at will? Why do Anastasia’s familymembers, friends and boyfriends get to come in? It's not in line withthe rules!” Alice immediately spoke up.

Felicia was also a little awkward at this. She looked at Anastasia andmentioned, “Anastasia, tell your boyfriend not to come to the companyoften. By sending flowers to the company, it will affect other employeesin our company.”

Anastasia’s face was slightly hot when she heard that. Does everyoneregard Nigel as my boyfriend?

Then, she felt a deep and probing gaze on her as well.

“That's right! Seeing that bunch of roses makes me jealous! Anastasia,your boyfriend is so handsome. How could you dare to bring him to thecompany? Aren't you afraid that someone will steal him away?” anotherfemale designer joked.

“Okay, I'll talk to him.” Anastasia simply admitted that Nigel was herboyfriend since it would be more troublesome to explain otherwiseanyway.

Elliot's gaze became a little more complicated at that. Thinking of thetime when Nigel and Anastasia had hugged each other at the airport,he remembered that the woman did not refuse the man’s advanceseither. Now, she was even openly admitting that Nigel was herboyfriend.

After the boring regular meeting was over, Elliot said with a sullen face,“Anastasia stays while the others may leave.”

Everyone in the room felt the surliness of the big boss, so they quicklyrose and left for fear of being taken out upon by his anger.

Anastasia was also speechless. Why does he have such an uglyexpression?

When the door of the meeting room was closed, he turned in his chairand an oppressive aura swept over her. Looking at her with cold eyes,he said, “You should be aware of my relationship with Nigel.”

She nodded. “I do. What's wrong?”

Elliot's face became uglier. “Remember that you owe me something?”He locked eyes with her deeply, exuding inexplicable danger.

Anastasia thought for a while, but couldn't remember what she owedhim, so she asked, “Do I owe you anything?”

“You've forgotten?” He flew into a rage all of a sudden because thewoman had really forgotten.

“Give me a hint.” How could I have time to remember unimportantthings?

The man stood up abruptly before clasping her wrist with his long arms.Pushing Anastasia’s waist against the table, he pressed down upon herwith his body raging with hormones. As Anastasia instinctively leanedback, the man’s hand held the back of her head. Then, he pinched herchin and raised it coldly before his lips came to cover hers with a strongsense of fury.

And so, the kiss fell on the woman's soft lips without any advancenotice. It was domineering, rough, and full of aggression as if it wassome kind of punishment.

Anastasia's beautiful eyes widened in shock; she couldn't believe thatthis man would do this to her in public.

His breath swept through her without her consent, causing her mind togo blank. As such, her first reaction was to be annoyed. She pushed himwith all her strength and shouted, “Elliot, what are you doing?”

“Didn't you ask me to remind you? This is what you owe me.” Theman’s voice was hoarse, while his eyes were dark, and his words werefull of mockery.

Taking a deep breath, Anastasia then lifted her hand and wiped her lipswith disgust. When she thought that Hayley was in a relationship withthis man, and that he had touched Hayley before kissing her, she feltextremely disgusted.

“Don't kiss me!” Anastasia shouted angrily. “If you do this again, I willsue you.”

Elliot stared at her eyes; she was like a flaming rose. Her lips wereincredibly soft, which made him unable to detach himself from her. Iteven reminded him of the touch of that night 5 years ago. In fact, it wasindeed such a delicate feeling that made him go under. Why does thiswoman make me feel this way? She's obviously a stranger.
