Can’t Wait for the Invitation
“Why do you care?” Elliot’s tone was filled with jealousy.
“Jeez, knock it off.” Anastasia laughed.
The man on the other end of the line immediately answered, “Alright, I’ll stop.” His voice sounded like a
tamed beast with a hoarse voice.
Those words turned into a feather and tickled her heart, and she quickly hung up the call after giving a
simple response.
I can never win against Elliot’s teasing.
After a while, Felicia came over to Anastasia and asked about her son’s situation. She didn’t hide the
truth from her superior and told her that Elliot had settled the incident.
…
Meanwhile, Aliona couldn’t concentrate on her work in the office, for her mind was filled with her desire
to get closer to Elliot. Even so, she understood that Elliot was not an easy man. Aside from Anastasia,
he would never give another woman a chance to get near him.
Landing herself a man was an easy job for Aliona, but even Riley couldn’t figure out Elliot’s
temperament. Thus, Aliona wasn’t sure how she should seduce Elliot.
Right now, her biggest enemy was Anastasia. Aliona had acted too confidently in front of Riley before
this, so she was reluctant to report her progress to him. Naturally, this made her anxious too.
At the same time, Alice had just received a call, and a smug smile appeared on her face. Her colleague
had placed Anastasia’s manuscript on the counter, thus making it the company’s prized collection.
Now, Alice simply needed to wait for the show where Anastasia would embarrass herself.
She wanted to thoroughly destroy Anastasia’s reputation in the design industry, and she was willing to
wait patiently for that very moment.
…
Meanwhile, Hayley was lying on an operating table somewhere in Hogland. Her fists were clenched,
and her heart was full of fear. After all, she was betting her life and face on her future.
The only thing that gave her the courage to risk it all was the possibility of being the Young Mistress of
the Presgrave Family. After the surgery, she could seduce Elliot with a face similar to Anastasia’s and
win his heart. In fact, she was certain that she would succeed.
When the anesthetic needle punctured her body, the pain she felt was unbearable. However, she
gritted her teeth and imagined Elliot’s face to endure the pain. This was the only way for her to bear the
agony.
The words of the translator resounded in Hayley’s mind. The surgeon warned her that this operation
would be dangerous as he had to perform surgery on many parts of her face, and he wanted her to
think about the possible consequences. Despite the risks, Hayley accepted the surgery without
hesitation.
Her own face caused her too much suffering because of Anastasia. After this surgery, her inferiority
complex and pain would disappear.
Therefore, she was desperate to change her face.
During the surgery, it seemed like she could hear the sound of her cheekbones being removed with a
saw on her face, and the sound made her tremble in horror. She closed her eyes, blaming Anastasia
for forcing her into the mess she was in right now.
This is all Anastasia’s fault. I hate her.
…
At 4.00PM, Anastasia held a bouquet of roses while leaving the company. Elliot was waiting for her in
the car park to fetch her son from school together.
At the same time, Aliona was also leaving the company. As soon as she left, she saw Anastasia
holding the bouquet. She immediately clenched her teeth, but Anastasia said nothing and walked past
her gracefully when she saw the woman.
Meanwhile, Elliot smiled in the driver’s seat when he saw Anastasia walking over with the bouquet in
her hands. Finally! She’s starting to accept my feelings.
With that, they picked Jared up and met Nigel for dinner.
…
At the restaurant, Nigel teased the boy happily. After hearing that Jared was involved in a fight in
school today, he immediately said, “When I have the time, I’ll teach you boxing. That way, you have
nothing to be afraid of when you get into a fight next time!”
“Okay!” Jared nodded happily.
Nigel looked at Elliot and Anastasia, who were both sitting opposite him. At that moment, he realized
that they were made for each other.
“Elliot, Anastasia, I can’t wait for your wedding invitation any longer!” urged Nigel.
Upon hearing that, Anastasia choked on the soup she was having.
Elliot immediately patted her back and found her reaction amusing.
