Chapter 303 Try Dating Her

Aliona was slightly caught off guard when Anastasia had denied it without even needing to give it a

second thought and she couldn’t help but wonder, Could it be that she really does not like Elliot? Does

this mean she won’t get in my way?

“I am sorry that I was being presumptuous,” Aliona hurriedly apologized.

“It is fine.” Anastasia smiled with pursed lips as she picked up her teacup. “I will be heading back to the

office then.”

Aliona’s gaze seemed to darken as soon as Anastasia left the pantry. She wondered whether the

reason Anastasia denied having a relationship with Elliot was because she was being careful or if she

really didn’t like the man.

Anyhow, no one could disrupt her plan. She admitted that Anastasia was a gorgeous woman, but

Aliona was confident that she would be able to win over Elliot.

She was going to look her best during dinner tonight with Lucas and Elliot.

Anastasia had just returned to the office when the landline began to ring again.

Picking up the call, she spoke into the phone. “Hello?”

“Come up for a bit,” Elliot’s voice came through the other end of the call.

“It is almost time for me to get off from work.”

“It is about work.”

And of course, Anastasia wouldn’t possibly believe him. “Let’s talk tomorrow.”

“Anastasia Tillman, can you please show your boss a little respect?” he grumpily huffed in reply.

However, she really didn’t want to see him, so she insisted, “President Presgrave, just say what you

want on the phone.”

He stubbornly insisted, “We will talk in my office.”

Anastasia already had a feeling that he wasn’t going to talk about work, so naturally, she wouldn’t fall

into his trap.

“Forget it then.” She hung up the call after throwing that out.

The look on the big boss’ face in the president’s office immediately fell when the call was dropped. His

tall and lean figure swiftly stood up before he started taking big strides out of the office.

Anastasia was editing a few old drafts in her office when she clumsily dropped the documents in her

hands. Then, she sucked a deep breath before she squatted down.

At this moment, she heard the sound of someone opening the office door. Thinking that it was Grace,

she spoke from under the table. “Grace, help me to pick up these documents.”

The person who had just come in didn’t say anything in return and only reached down to help

Anastasia with her request. It was only when Anastasia crawled out from under the desk that she had

the surprise of her life.

Instead of Grace, it was Elliot standing there with some documents in his hands. There was a sour

expression on his face as he tossed the papers on her desk. “Do you think this kind of sloppy work is

acceptable?”

Anastasia knew that she probably deserved the scolding because she hadn’t been in her best condition

during work today. Like a dead mouse that felt no cold, she fearlessly challenged him, “Go ahead and

cut my salary then!”

“You want a deduction on your meager salary? Do you plan on feeding Jared air?” He let out an

annoyed puff.

Her eyebrows wiggled as she let out a bright laugh. “Then, maybe you should give me a raise!”

“You want a raise with the kind of attitude you are giving me?” Elliot was already being nice by not

cutting her salary.

Suddenly realizing that he had come all the way to her office, Anastasia looked at him solemnly and

asked, “Do you need me for something, President Presgrave?”

“Aliona’s father has invited me for dinner. He seldom asks me out and he is my senior. I can’t reject

him,” he started explaining without leaving out a single detail.

Anastasia froze for a moment with the only moving thing being her blinking eyelids. She couldn’t really

process the words she was hearing. Is this what he meant when he said he has something important to

talk to me about? Why does he need to report this kind of thing to me? It is not like I am his wife!

“No need for that. Please go ahead with your busy schedule, President Presgrave.” She was staring at

him with serious eyes. “You don’t have to go out of your way to worry about Jared and me in the

future.”

Elliot really didn’t have to tell her. It was not like she would have minded, anyway.

“Umm… You don’t have to tell me things like who you are having a meal with…” She let out an

awkward smile as she pressed her lips together into a tight line.

“I just don’t want you to misunderstand.” His dark gaze was locked onto hers.

When Anastasia heard that, she smilingly replied, “What is there for me to misunderstand? To be

honest, President Presgrave, I think you and Miss Dora look like you would suit each other. You can

definitely consider her if you are in a hurry to marry someone.”

She continued to ramble on in a serious manner when he didn’t answer her. “Miss Dora is both

beautiful and capable. She has a good background, and on top of that, she is your father’s best friend’s

daughter! You would know her in and out. I honestly think that you can try dating her.”
