Chapter 331 Her Biggest Stumbling Block

Anastasia arrived at a conclusion with that: Never get involved with a man without thinking it through. Or else, she would end up being the one suffering.

A knock on her door came before she could even start with her work. Aliona, who was clad in an all-white suit, then walked in as she enthusiastically said to Anastasia seated at the desk, “Anastasia, I want to have a chat with you.”

Knowing that this was a mere act Aliona was putting on, Anastasia crossed her arms as she stated with her eyebrow raised, “There is nothing you and I have to talk about.”

“Anastasia, I would like to apologize for saying the thing I did before. I am really sorry for hurting you by saying something so out of line. Can you please forgive me for my ignorance and impudence?” Aliona apologized to save her image. At the very least, she didn’t want to be on bad terms with Anastasia.

It all only seemed like a bad joke to Anastasia. She knew that there was no sincerity in Aliona’s apology as the woman was merely apologizing because she was afraid that Anastasia would tell Elliot the truth.

“I accept your apology,” Anastasia said indifferently. “You can leave my office now.”

“If you accept my apology, this also means that you won’t tell Elliot what happened between us, right?” Aliona had her palms pressed against the surface of the desk, her gaze staring holes into Anastasia. “I beg of you, please don’t tell him about us.”
