Chapter 193
“Anastasia, why didn’t you bring your son along?” Erica immediately exposed the fact that Anastasia had a son.
Bluntly, the latter replied, “You don’t have to worry about that. My son is being taken care of just fine.”
“President Presgrave, do you know that my sister has a kid? He’s already four now. It was quite tough on her, having to raise him all on her own.” At that point, Erica wanted to just spill the fact that Anastasia was a single mother.
Since Alex already knew that Anastasia had a child, he thought that he stood a better chance at being with her due to a single mother’s lowered standard in choosing her partner.
In turn, Anastasia only smirked while looking at Erica’s little show.
On the other hand, Erica kept thinking that Elliot would ask her something out of sheer curiosity. Never in a million years did she think that he wouldn’t care about this at all, with him not even listening to her.
Coughing awkwardly, she then kept quiet.
Meanwhile, Alex was trying to find a topic to chat with Anastasia, so he asked, “Miss Tillman, you said that you wanted a tour of the company, right? When are you free? I’d love to bring you around.”
When facing Alex, Anastasia always smiled politely back. This made a certain man feel jealous inside, as she did not even smile at him like that from the start.
D
The only things that she showed him were her temper, stubbornness and willfulness, all of which were bad sides.
But now, she actually left her best smile, sweetest voice and best side of her to a stranger that she just met.
“Alright, then. I’ll contact you if I’m ever in Dad’s company.” Anastasia then proceeded to exchange numbers with Alex.
“Sure thing!” Happiness was written all over Alex’s face when he said that.
Anastasia’s gaze then met with a chilling, upset one, and her smile froze in place
before disappearing altogether. In the end, she picked up her goblet and averted her gaze.
At that moment, Francis brought a few of his friends over to the table, and he said to Anastasia as soon as he came over, “Anastasia, why are you sitting here? Quickly now! Go and sit beside President Presgrave.”
Left with no choice, Anastasia could only relocate her seat beside Elliot’s. Now, Elliot was surrounded by both of Francis’ daughters.
Hurriedly, Alex also switched seats and sat beside Anastasia.
“President Presgrave, I’m sorry for this lack of proper treatment. Please, if you have anything, just order Anastasia to do it for you!”
“I will be sure to do so, Mr. Tillman!” Smiling, Elliot exuded the aura of an elitist.
