Room for You
Chapter 7

Felicia immediately coughed. "Okay, the subject of today's meeting isthe competition that we're participating in. First, congratulations to thetwo shortlisted designers, Alice and Anastasia.” Anastasia raised herhead and met Alice's provocative gaze. If she won this time, thecompany would give her a large bonus. Hence, they were rivals. Feliciaimmediately analyzed the situation of this competition. As anexperienced designer, she was very confident in her work. WhileAnastasia was staring at the table, she suddenly felt eyes on her.Judging from the direction, it was undoubtedly Elliot's. Is this man reallyso free? Why is he staring at me all day long? Anastasia“s mothersacrificed her life for him. To be honest, Anastasia really didn't want tosee him. Although he was only five years old at the time, and shecouldn't blame him for anything, she still had a kind of resentment inher heart. “Anastasia, tell me your opinion.” Felicia suddenly cued her.Anastasia was daydreaming just now, and now she had no idea whatFelicia was talking about. She raised her head and looked at Felicia inconfusion. “Uh... Which aspect are you referring to?” Felicia’s faceimmediately turned ugly. How dare someone daydream at my

meeting? “Anastasia, although you are a designer dispatched from theheadquarters, you shouldn't be too arrogant and disregard me. Youdidn't listen to what I said just now, did you?” Felicia was a harshwoman and wanted to teach Anastasia a lesson. The other designerslooked at Anastasia as if they were watching her make a fool of herself,while Anastasia’s face was also a little hot. While she didn’t know whatto say, a low male voice sounded. “Tell me what the unique selling pointof your design is.” Elliot was giving her a reminder. When it came to herwork, Anastasia immediately became confident. “My work this timeuses platinum, which is the most suitable material for inlays, with theaddition of rhodium and palladium. Its gloss, hardness, and durabilityare very good, and it is also a rare material. It holds a superiorconnotation, it's not easy to depreciate, it's guaranteed not to changecolor, it has good stability, and it is suitable for collection purposes. Mytarget customers are people who like to collect and buy luxury goods.”After Anastasia finished speaking, she suddenly caught the deep gazeof the man opposite her, and she at once avoided it. “In short, it'sexpensive!” Alice sneered. “I'm not the same as you. I focus on fashionelements. Nowadays, trends come and go. I think my work is moresuitable for the market.” Anastasia pursed her lips and smiled. “Each ofour work has its own selling point.” Soon, the meeting finally ended.Elliot only came to listen and did not express his opinion too much.“Okay, the meeting is over,” Felicia announced. “Anastasia, stay here.The others may leave,” Elliot said suddenly. Anastasia was about to takea sip of water to moisten her throat when she almost choked onhearing this. She was instantly surrounded by envious and hatefulgazes, especially Alice, who glared at her resentfully as if she hadseduced Elliot by some dirty means. Anastasia was also lost for

words. Can't this man see my situation in the company? I'm beingscorned by other people, and he still has to fan the gossip by doing

this! After everyone left, Anastasia leaned against her chair and saidcoldly, “Is there something you need, President Presgrave?” “Why didn'tyou accept the house I gave you yesterday?” Elliot narrowed his eyesand stared at her. "Why should 1? I already said that I will not acceptany repayment from the Presgraves.” Anastasia emphasized again. “Youshould think about your son. The place I chose has great facilities thatcan support him. There is a much better kindergarten for the elites inthe community. It is also safer and more suitable for you to live withyour child.” Elliot left his status as a superior president and turned intoa salesperson. What he said was very attractive to Anastasia because, asa mother, it was her biggest wish to provide her son with the besteducation and environment. “No need. I can give my son the best.”Anastasia disagreed. For a businessman like him, he couldn't realizethat the most precious thing was not material wealth but emotionalcompanionship. As long as her son was with her, even if she lived inless than stellar conditions, she would be happiest. Frowning, Elliotstared at the ruthless woman and felt troubled. “In the future, if it's notfor work purposes, please don't look for me again.” After Anastasiafinished speaking, she picked up her documents, then got up and left.In the afternoon, Anastasia received a call from her father, who askedher to go home for dinner tomorrow. He also said he wanted to seeher. Thus, she agreed, thinking that she needed to go home for a visit.At the president's office, Elliot sat gracefully in his seat, listening to thework report of the assistant beside him. “Go check the informationregarding the father of Anastasia’s son for me.” Since materialcompensation did not impress Anastasia, Elliot could only start in otherareas. “Very well.” Rey immediately went off to investigate. At thismoment, Elliot's phone rang, so he picked it up and saw that it wasfrom Hayley. “Hello,” he answered as gently as possible. “Elliot, are youbusy with work? Can I have dinner with you tonight?” “Okay, I'll book arestaurant.” Elliot agreed. “Then I'll wait for you to pick me up.” Hayleywas excited. “Sure.” Elliot hung up the phone while Hayley's faceappeared in his mind. For some reason, Hayley didn't feel anything likethe woman from that day to him. He vaguely remembered the womanthat night. Her lips were unbelievably soft, and her body had a faintfragrance. Although she cried throughout the whole process, her voicewas appealing, while Hayley's voice was a little too sharp. Since it hadbeen five years, anyone would undergo significant changes. Thus, Elliotjust wanted to make up for her. After all, what he did that night causedirreversible damage to her life. At a fine dining restaurant, Hayley camein a new Chanel dress, dressing to the nines. Using expensive cosmeticsand the skill of a makeup artist, she enhanced her rather average looks,but she was still not eye-catching enough. She belonged to thecategory of an average pretty girl. She was not ugly, but not stunningeither. However, tonight, she was the most enviable woman in theentire restaurant. Sitting opposite her was a top-level man who washandsome, elegant, charming, and exuded a regal aura. “Elliot, cheers.”Hayley took the initiative to raise her glass and looked at the manopposite her eagerly. Although she had known him for almost threeweeks, Elliot had always treated her civilly and politely. However, whatHayley wanted was far more than that, for she wanted his heart, body,and eventually, to be his wife. Now, because she had gotten hisattention and everything he gave her, she was absolutely terrified oflosing it all. She felt delighted to be wealthy. What she wanted could bedelivered to her in the next second. Her favorite new Chanel dressescould be delivered directly to her door for her to choose from. If shewanted a specific bag, she could get one in every color available. If shewanted diamond jewelry, all she needed to do was pick her favorite.This feeling was like floating in the clouds, and Hayley never wanted tofall back to the ground again as long as she lived.
