An Unexpected Call
Elliot nodded and replied, “Yes.”
“Then, I won’t give it away.” Anastasia didn’t want to waste his effort in choosing these roses for her.
The last time she gave it away, he blew his top.
He pursed his lips after he heard her as happiness flashed across his eyes. Does this mean that
Anastasia has finally started to accept my love?
At that moment, Anastasia noticed there were more nosy coworkers gathering outside her door, which
was when it dawned on her that Elliot had just strutted through the entire design department with the
roses before entering her office. Great. There is no way out of this scandal now.
“Next time, let the flower shop’s worker deliver it. You don’t have to send it yourself,” she reminded him
with a grin.
He squinted his upturned eyes and assured, “In the future, any flowers for you will be chosen and
delivered by myself.”
Anastasia didn’t know how to respond to Elliot’s voice. At that very moment, her landline rang. She
picked up the receiver and answered, “Hello?”
“Anastasia, it’s meeting time.” Felicia’s voice sounded from the other side.
“Okay. I’ll be right away.” After she hung up the phone, she placed the flower on the table and said to
him, “I need to attend a meeting.”
Then, he gave her a cheeky smile and said, “We’re going together.”
As soon as Elliot pushed open the office door, the onlookers immediately dispersed but he was not
bothered with them. He gazed at Anastasia and instructed, “You should proceed to the conference
room first.”
When Anastasia stepped out of her office after Elliot left, a female assistant approached her and asked,
“Anastasia, why did President Presgrave send you flowers?”
“What else? It is because President Presgrave is pursuing Anastasia!” someone answered in the
background.
“Guys, let us just focus on work,” Anastasia insisted with a polite smile as she headed toward the
conference room.？”
However, when she was passing a corner, she suddenly bumped into someone. Her shoulder was hurt
by the force and the other person was pushed against the wall. When she raised her head, Aliona
squinted at her and her eyes were filled with malice. “Don’t you even look while you’re walking?” she
chided.
In that instant, Anastasia deduced that Elliot’s flower show had agitated her.
“Sorry about that,” she faintly apologized to Aliona.
However, her smile seemed to add fuel to the fire as Aliona turned around and walked away, looking
even more aggravated.
In the conference room, Felicia instructed Anastasia to take her previous seat and the empty seat next
to Anastasia was reserved for Elliot.
At this moment, Aliona had just entered the conference room and as she walked to her seat, a female
designer tried to intentionally flame the fire. “Anastasia, President Presgrave personally bought you
such a big bouquet of roses. You are so lucky!” she stated purposefully.
Another designer concurred, “Of course. Anastasia is President Presgrave’s true love!”
Anastasia was not happy to hear that as she lifted her head and glanced at the two female designers,
warning them silently with her gaze. Immediately, the two designers stopped making waves and
exchanged a timid smile.
“I have received your design manuscripts. From now on, we will spare no effort in preparing the jewelry
show.”
Finally, the meeting had started.
“What should we do if plagiarism happens, Felicia?” Alice asked suddenly.
Felicia’s expression became serious. “Let me reiterate. In our industry, plagiarism is a serious matter.
When plagiarism occurs, it first damages the individual’s reputation, and more importantly, it brings
dishonor to the company. Furthermore, it results in significant losses for the company, hence our
company strictly prohibits plagiarism.”
Alice curved her lips with a satisfied look after hearing Felicia’s statement. “I agree. If such behavior is
found, this person must leave the atelier,” she concurred.
After speaking, Alice glanced at Anastasia wittingly with a smug expression.
At this moment, the conference room’s door was pushed open. Elliot entered and sat beside Anastasia.
At first, Anastasia was calm with Elliot’s appearance, but she noticed that both of their arms were on
the table and their couple bracelets were on display.
She blushed and quickly hid her arm under the table , but fortunately no one had noticed this.
When Felicia was talking about the current prospects of the international market, Anastasia’s cell
phone rang suddenly. She glanced at the phone and noticed it was an unknown number. She bent
down to hide her head under the table to answer in a low tone, “Who is this?”
