Chapter 359 Tell Me What You Know

“I just want to let you know that I will never give up on my feelings for Elliot,” Aliona said. She was here for no other reason than to try and get on Anastasia’s nerves after her own bitter resentment overwhelmed her. “For the rest of your life, you’ll have me as competition,” she added confidently. “I’m sure it’ll only be a matter of time before President Presgrave notices me and falls for me.”

Anastasia, however, was neither impressed nor intimidated. “Your non-achievements do not interest me, so take your gloating elsewhere,” she pointed out sarcastically.

Contempt flashed in Aliona’s eyes as she snorted and said haughtily, “We’ll see who the real winner will be!” Now that Father’s already plotting her demise, Elliot will be mine sooner or later once we get rid of her!

Anastasia, on the other hand, was admittedly affected by what Aliona said even though the latter had already left. It seemed as if Elliot constantly had a barrage of women who would not hesitate to seize even the slightest of chances to get close to him.

When noon rolled around, Anastasia made up her mind to invite Elliot out for a meal as an apology for what happened last night. If it hadn’t been for her overreaction, things might not have ended on such a tense note, and the night would have been perfectly wrapped up.

She picked up the phone on her desk and dialed Elliot’s extension. When he did not pick up, the call was automatically transferred to his assistant’s line.
