Chapter 44

“Anastasia, have you missed me after we've been separated for solong?” Nigel held his chin and looked at her affectionately withseductive eyes.

Anastasia retracted her gaze, and when she looked at Nigel, she smiled."Of course!”

Then, he took out car keys with an attached crystal keychain. “When Imiss you, I'll take this out to look at it. What about the one I gave you?You didn't throw it away, did you?”

She was slightly embarrassed. “I think I forgot to bring it back here.”“You! How could you not properly keep the gift I gave you? I'll buy youanother one later,” he scolded with a smile.

“Is it necessary?”

“Yes. I'll buy another pair. One for you, and one for me. When we don'tsee each other, we can look at them and resolve our lovesickness.”Nigel was also quite the romantic and all his thoughts were now onAnastasia.

“Okay! I'll select them and give you one.”

“They must be a matching pair.”

“Okay.” Anastasia nodded as she smiled. As she looked away, her eyeshad once again met the cold eyes belonging to the man sitting not faraway from her. For some reason, she felt that Elliot's gaze had becomeicier as if someone had offended him.

Rey was called over for lunch by Elliot today, who said that he hadsome work to discuss, but after waiting for a long time, Elliot didn't talkabout work at all. Instead, Elliot's expression had suddenly becomeworse, Rey had been with him for 5 years, and he was the closestperson to Elliot, so he knew why Elliot's expression was dark.

Soon, the sumptuous lunch came. Anastasia was hungry, so shedecided to quickly begin eating

“This is delicious! Taste it.” Nigel picked up some food with his fork andheld it in front of a startled Anastasia. She subconsciously opened hermouth and took a bite.

“How is it? Is it delicious?” he asked with a happy smile.

Anastasia's face warmed slightly; she realized that this was somethingonly couples did! However, she still nodded. “Yeah, it's delicious.”

The man on the opposite side looked at their lovey-dovey manner witha gloomy face. Facing the lunch in front of him, he had no appetite."Sir, have some lunch! We have to go back to the Presgrave Group for ameeting in the afternoon.” Rey tried to persuade his boss. Elliotshouldn't refuse to eat just because he was angry about Anastasia'spublic display of affection!

Anastasia had just finished eating a cheese shrimp, and she accidentallyhad a little cheese sauce on the corner of her mouth. She didn't realizeit, but Nigel on the opposite side saw it. Thus, he immediately narrowedhis eyes and smiled. “Don’t move.”

Anastasia immediately stopped moving. She then blinked her beautifuleyes and looked at him as he stretched out his long arms to gentlywipe his fingers across the corners of her mouth. “You have sauce onyour mouth.”

At that, Anastasia’s face flushed red; she hurriedly grabbed her napkinand wiped the corner of her mouth elegantly. Nevertheless, her currentexpression was extremely shy and dainty in the eyes of those who sawher. Not only was Nigel attracted by her, but even the man at the tableopposite them also narrowed his eyes at the sight of her.

“I'm going to the restroom.” Anastasia got up and went off.

Not long after she left, Elliot also followed suit. When Nigel turnedaround, he saw Rey alone.

“Where's my cousin?” he asked.

“President Presgrave went out to take a call,” Rey replied, although hesaw that Elliot was clearly going to the restroom.

“Oh!” Nigel didn't think much about it.

In the restroom, Anastasia had just come out after washing her handswhen she suddenly saw Elliot smoking in the smoking area next to thecorridor. His long fingers were pinching the cigarette as he blew a cloudof smoke that hid his cold but handsome face. She pretended not tosee him and passed him while pretending to tidy her long hair.However, just as she approached him, the man’s hand elegantlysnubbed the cigarette out and as she passed him, he grabbed her withso much strength that she had no way to resist. Thus, she was pushedagainst the far wall of

the smoking area.

“Elliot, what are you doing? It hurts...” Anastasia felt that her boneswere about to be crushed by him.
