Chapter 382
Alex kept his eyes fixed upon Erica, seemingly thinking abou nat to do with his next move. After all, he knew as well that he didn’t stand a chance to get closer to Anastasia at all with Elliot by her side, but now that Erica was approaching him, he began to see it as an opportunity. “Miss Erica, I’m just an ordinary man without anything worth admiring, so I wònder what makes you like me so much.” Alex let out a sigh.
“I’m not like my sister who only wants to marry a rich man. I, on the other hand, prefer to trust my own feelings when choosing my Mr. Right.” Erica then looked at Alex seductively. “Mr. Hunter, you’re exactly the type that I like.”
Upon hearing the lady’s words, Alex felt as if there was an electric shock that ran through his body. Although Erica was not considered a beauty like her sister was, Alex, whose nature as a man got the better of his rational mind, could not resist her advances.
In the meantime, Anastasia, who was still in the lobby, pushed Elliot aside after wiping the water off him and said, “Leave once the rain lets up.”
“Alright!” Elliot nodded obediently.
“Come on, let’s go to my lounge! It’s cold out here.” Anastasia took the man with her upstairs.

As soon as both of them arrived at a warmer place, Elliot took off his coat and revealed the dark shirt that accentuated his muscular physique beneath it. However, Anastasia looked away like she was trying to resist something. In fact, she was trying to resist the man’s charming and masculine aura deep down so that she wouldn’t fall further for him.
At that moment, Alex knocked on the door and entered the place despite knowing Elliot was around; he was going to deliberately ruin his private moment with Anastasia. After all, Erica was just a substitute to him since Anastasia was still the woman he loved. Nonetheless, Alex’s presence, had put a frown on Elliot’s face as the latter immediately wrapped his arm around Anastasia while she made him some tea.
Before Anastasia could even finish making him tea, she lost her balance and sat on the man’s lap with the tea bag still in her hand. Just as she was about to lecture him, she noticed the coldness that filled his eyes before she quickly understood that it was Alex’s presence that put him on edge.
Okay, I guess that’s the nature of men. They can’t tolerate anyone else who sets foot on their turf, which is why this guy is trying to assert his dominance.
“You’re here, Mr. Presgrave.” Alex timidly greeted Elliot.
“I’ll stay here and keep Anastasia company. You may attend to your work now, Mr. Hunter,” Elliot coldly said to Alex.
“Alright!” Alex smiled, his face darkening the moment he turned around. It seems that Elliot really doesn’t give a damn about my presence.
Soon, Anastasia rose from her seat and reminded the man to behave. “Keep your mischiet in check while you’re here. I wouldn’t want to be caught in a lovey-dovey situation with you.”
“What’s wrong with that? Are you worried that Mr. Hunter is going to get jealous?” Elliot grunted in an annoyed manner.
“Alex is just an employee in my father’s company. That makes us nothing more than colleagues.” Anastasia explained herself.
While Elliot believed in the lady, his pride and jealousy wouldn’t allow him to stand by and watch any man get close to Anastasia. Soon, he faked a cough and looked at the woman, trying to feel her concern just as the lady turned around and met his eyes.
