Chapter 99

Fine, my wallet would be safe this way. If Anastasia cooked lunch, shewouldn't have to spend more than 100.

When she was getting out of the car, she was lost in her thoughts. Shewas about to run over to the supermarket on the other side of the roadwhen an electric car sped near her, not giving her time to even respond.Instantly, the man behind her held her waist at lightning speed, pullingher into his embrace to get her out of danger.

Anastasia glared furiously at the speeding electric car, shouting, “Watchwhere you're going!”

When she was done, she realized a strong arm was still wrappedaround her waist. Therefore, she reached out and pushed him away.“Just wait here. I'll get some ingredients at the supermarket over there.”“We'll go together.” With that, the man crossed the road with her.

They failed to notice that in one of the cars near them, a pair ofsurprised eyes were watching them. Disappointment flitted across thedepths of Nigel's eyes. Anastasia declined a lunch date with me andchose to go shopping with my cousin?

Nigel thought that they were just buying things and they would goback to the car later. Hence, he decided to wait for them.

In the supermarket, Anastasia was picking out some vegetables. Elliotsaid she could just cook whatever dishes she was best at, and hewouldn't be choosy. Hence, she just bought ingredients for somedishes she usually cooked for her son. Well, it's easier for me this way.When she paid for the ingredients, the total was below 100 asexpected. The cashier had just finished putting the items in the bagwhen she saw the bag being lifted and carried by Elliot. Whileattempting to steal another look at him, the young cashier messed upthe calculations, and she had to count the money again with a blush onher face. After Anastasia paid for the items, the two left together.

They walked across the street toward Anastasia’s residential area.Meanwhile, Nigel was still hiding in the car when he watched Elliot carrythe bag of groceries, chatting with Anastasia as they walked throughthe entrance.

- The sight of the duo gave Nigel the shock of his life. Why did theyenter a residential area? He immediately remembered that Anastasia’sfather had bought a house for

her, so could it be that the aforementioned house was the wholeresidential area?

So, my cousin is going to Anastasia’s house with her? And they'll have adate with a home cooked meal?

Nigel began to fret, a huge wave of disappointment washing over himCould it be that Anastasia preferred mature men like Elliot? Is this thereason she kept rejecting me?

Nigel returned to his car, his handsome face forlorn. Soon, he reachedout and grabbed his phone, then dialed Elliot's number.

“Hello, Nigel,” Elliot's voice said over the phone.

“Elliot, are you free right now? I can treat you to lunch.”

“I have an appointment, so maybe next time!” Just as expected, Elliotdeclined

“How important is this appointment? It's not every day I offer to buyyou lunch, so can't you cancel the appointment and have lunch with meinstead?” Nigel was poking at his cousin to get an answer out of him.“It's an important client, so I can’t cancel. I'll treat you next time, allright?” With that, he hung up.

Nigel felt like a knife was stabbed in his chest. Elliot knew very well thatNigel was 1. pursuing Anastasia, so was he trying to snatch the womanNigel fell for?

In the elevator, Anastasia was tense as she listened in on Elliot's phonecall with Nigel. She had rejected Nigel today, and she felt a bit guilty forthat.

Elliot swept a meaningful gaze over her, and then he narrowed his eyeswith a complex look. Upon arriving, Anastasia invited him in, after whichshe began busying about in the kitchen. She was wearing a whiteblouse with a black skirt, looking very professional. However, with thisman around, she deemed it unfitting to change, so she just donned anapron before getting to work.

However, little did she know that her cutting vegetables in the kitchenin full business attire was like a seduction to men who loved themselvessome good uniforms.
