Room for You
Chapter 5

“My grandma wants me to marry you, then take care of you and yourchildren for the rest of your life. Are you willing to marry me?” Elliotsaid bluntly. Although he was talking about marriage, his gaze wasindifferent; it was like he was simply shouldering a responsibility.Feeling suddenly amused, Anastasia fluffed her long hair and looked atthe man opposite. “Take a good look at me. Do I look like the type whocan never get married?” She was very beautiful. In fact, it was not anoverstatement to say that she was absolutely stunning. “Miss Tillman,do you not want to marry me?” Elliot twitched the corner of his mouthand silently breathed a sigh of relief. “Although you are powerful andhandsome, I don't care for you,” Anastasia replied very confidently.Elliot's handsome face revealed a slightly startled expression. It seemedthat he was not attractive at all to this woman. Oh well, that is exactlythe result I wanted, anyway. As he wished, they were not attracted toeach other. “I hope you can visit my grandmother in person, MissTillman.” After all, only this woman could deny his grandmother'swishes because, in his heart, he was also responsible for anotherwoman. Anastasia pondered for a few seconds, then asked withnarrowed eyes, “You really have acquired QR International Group?”“From now on, I'll be your boss, so don't worry. I'll take care of you.”Elliot expressed that even though he couldn't marry her, he would takecare of her at work. Hearing that, Anastasia blinked. “Okay, let's do thatthen! Goodbye, President Presgrave.” Elliot was startled again at herwords. Never before had a woman disregarded him so blatantly. Thus,Elliot got up and left. After he did, Anastasia let out a small sigh.Suddenly, Grace knocked on the door and asked, “Anastasia, what areyou talking about with President Presgrave? Does he like you verymuch?” “Who said that?” “Everyone is saying that he has been staring atyou in the conference room,” Grace informed Anastasia with the currentjuicy gossip. When Anastasia heard that, she was annoyed. It seemedthat Elliot was causing trouble for her at work. As a boss, he should be agood boss. She would just work under him, and he should not appearin front of her in the future. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceilingwindow, Anastasia picked up the phone and called her father. “Hello!May I know who it is?” A familiar voice came from the other end.Anastasia's nose burned as she called out to the other side, “Dad, it'sme. I'm Anastasia.” “Anastasia? You... Where have you been in the pastfive years? I couldn't replace you.” Francis was pleasantly surprised. Nowthat the father and daughter were connected, how could any hatredlast? Anastasia’s eyes filled with tears as she said, “Dad, I'm sorry. I havelived abroad for all these years, and now I'm back to work in thecountry.” “Okay, as long as you're back. When will you come home?” “I-I'll go home in two days.” “Okay, as long as you are healthy and safe.It's my fault. I shouldn't have driven you out.” “Let's forget about thepast.” Anastasia comforted him. She had gone through all thehardships, and she didn't want to think about them anymore. “Okay,come back home as soon as possible!” Francis sighed. Anastasia hungup the phone and took a deep breath. Actually, she still didn't want togo home yet. It was good enough as long as her father was healthy andsafe. At this time, Larry knocked on the door and came over with a boxin his hands. “Anastasia, I'm here to bring you something.” Anastasialooked at the box he put on the table in surprise. “What is this?"“Guess.” Anastasia looked at the box with the words “Cloud ResidenceNo. 1’ written on it. It was like the name of a building. “You better tellme directly!” Anastasia smiled; she didn't want to guess. “CloudResidence No. 1 is a luxurious large condominium unit of 370 squaremeters that is worth 120 million. It is a top property unit that is lavishlyrenovated and decorated with luxurious decoration, and it is ready foryou to stay. You deserve it.” Larry finished speaking and opened thebox. There were six keys and a door card inside. Anastasia frowned. “Isthis for me?” “Anastasia, this is a special perk from President Presgrave.He changed your residence to the Cloud Residence No. 1 unit. Aren'tyou surprised and excited about it?” “Take it away; I don't need it.”Anastasia refused coldly. She didn’t want to accept any favors from thePresgrave Family at all. When her mother died, she had gone through avery painful childhood. Her mother had died an honorable death, andshe had lost her closest loved one. Hearing her refusal, Larry wasdumbfounded for a few seconds. Did she just refuse such an amazingperk? “Anastasia, you're not joking, are you? This is a perk that is onlyfor you!” Larry was 35 years old and single. He also fell in love at firstsight with Anastasia, who was young and beautiful, but he didn't expectthat Elliot had already gotten ahead first. “Tell President Presgrave that Idon't need special treatment in the company.” After Anastasia finishedspeaking, she pushed the box toward Larry and repeated her words."Take it away.” “Don’t do this to me. How am I supposed to tell him?Just accept it!” Larry could see that Elliot was interested in Anastasia.However, Anastasia still said firmly, “Send it back. I really don't need it.Thank you.” When Larry saw that she was serious, he had to take thebox away. At this moment, Elliot did not go back to work in hiscompany Dominion Corporation, but started working in the main officeof Bourgeois instead. “President Presgrave, Anastasia won't accept thisno matter what I said,” Larry reported helplessly. “Well.” Elliot's darkeyes were cloudy. He had expected this, but it would be best if he couldrepay his debt with material things so that he would not have to bindhimself to Anastasia by marriage. At the Tillman Residence, Francis hadjust returned. He looked at his wife watching TV on the sofa, thensighed happily and said, “Naomi, I received a call today. Guess who itwas?” “Who?” Naomi looked at him curiously. “It was Anastasia! Shehad been living abroad for all these years. No wonder I had beenunable to contact her,” Francis said happily. He didn't realize that hiswife's expression had suddenly changed, and the resentment in hereyes grew. “Why are you still thinking about her? She embarrassed youin the past, so don't let her come back to this house.” “Naomi, I've beenthinking for some time, and I feel that she’s not that kind of person.There must be a misunderstanding, and anyway, it has been so manyyears since. Just let it pass!” “What misunderstanding? Ericaphotographed her frequenting that kind of place in the middle of thenight. The evidence is solid.” Naomi really didn't expect Anastasia, whohad been driven out, to come back now. Did she notice our company’sdevelopment and come back to compete for the family assets? Hmph! Itall belongs to my daughter. It will be over my dead body for Anastasia toget her hands on it! Seeing that his wife was not happy, Francis said nomore and went upstairs, a little tired. Then, Naomi quickly picked upher phone and dialed her daughter's number. “Hey! Mom.” “Erica, guesswho's back?” “Who?” “That little b*tch Anastasia contacted your dadtoday. She's back.” “What? How can she even come back?" “She musthave taken a fancy to our family’s assets and wants to return for a pieceof the pie. With me here, she won't even get to lay a finger on it.”Naomi snorted coldly, her face full of bitterness. “I was able to drive heraway five years ago, so even if she comes back, I can still drive her outagain.” Erica was also very confident about it.
