Chapter 165

At that point, Elliot paused in his tracks and his handsome face significantly darkened. He strode back toward the direction of the working area and instantly, he saw that every single vase of all of the staff in the office was adorned with a stalk of red rose. From his observation, it was in fact the imported roses that he had carefully hand-picked from the florist before his morning meeting. That woman just gave it away after taking a glance at it?!

His handsome face was as cold as ice and there was an annoyed look in his eyes. He turned around and walked back toward the meeting room. Subsequently, he yanked open the door and hollered toward the woman inside, “Anastasia, come and see me in my office.” After he had said that, he added, “Now.”

His tone of voice caused everyone in the meeting room to tense up as they directed slightly sympathetic looks at the woman specifically mentioned by Elliot. Deep down, they thought to themselves, What sort of major mistake has she committed this time? Why is the big boss using such a commandeering tone of voice?
