Chapter 118 “Do you have a car?” Elliot asked.
“I’ll call a cab,” she replied.
“The roads will be closed, so cabs won’t be able to get in,” he explained. She frowned before answering
in a firm tone, “That’s fine. I’ll just walk over to the hotel.”
“I’ve never seen a woman as stubborn as you,” he uttered in a grumpy tone.
“Well, you’ve met me now. I’ll end the call now. I’m busy.” She ended the call right after finishing her
sentence. She was probably the only one who dared to speak to the president in such a tone. Even
those in Presgrave Group wouldn’t dare to speak to him in such an impolite manner.
Meanwhile, the man wore a dark look on his face after Anastasia hung up his call. I really don’t know
what to do with this woman. It’s hard for me to gain control over her, but that only makes me more
interested in achieving this. It’s like I’m challenging myself to conquer someone who can’t be conquered.
Anastasia got off work 30 minutes earlier, and she brought her evening gown home before pulling her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmakeup pouch out. She decided to put on some makeup since she hadn’t used her skills in a while.
At the same time, someone else was also getting ready for the dinner party. The more Hayley thought
about Harriet looking down on her, the more Hayley was filled with resentment. This drove Hayley to
attend the dinner party tonight. She couldn’t just go up to Elliot, so she had to pretend that she had just
shown up at the event somehow.
After thinking about it for a while more, she came up with a proper plan. At 7.30PM, she would pretend
that she needed to see Elliot for an emergency. That would explain why she ended up at the dinner party.
She had picked out a dress and put on makeup for the night, so all she had to do now was wait.
The sun had just started going down when Anastasia got ready to leave her house. Someone rang her
doorbell just before she headed out. She was shocked as she wasn’t expecting anyone at that hour. The
moment she opened the door, she saw a bouquet of roses covering a man’s face. The very next second,
the man moved the roses away to show his bright, handsome smile.
“What are you doing here, Nigel?” She stared at him in shock.
“I’m here to pick you up for the dinner party, of course. I can’t let my beautiful woman go to the party in a
cab, can I?” he replied.
“How did you know I was going to get a cab?” Anastasia gave him a sheepish smile.
“You love saving money, so I don’t think you’d hire a private car for the night, would you?” Nigel knew her
well. I guess I can save on my cab fees since he’s here to pick me up, she thought. “Why did you bring
flowers?” She was a little more taken aback by the way he had presented her with the roses.
“I feel like giving you flowers every time I see you,” he replied.
“Mr. Nigel!” Jared ran out when he heard Nigel’s voice. Nigel handed the flowers over to Jared.
“Here, Jared. Bring these flowers in. I’ll bring your mommy out for a dinner party now.”
Jared happily carried the flowers back into the house while Anastasia shut the door and left with Nigel.
While they were in the elevator, Nigel couldn’t help but glance at her outfit. She looked especially elegant
in her gray silk dress. It brought out her curves and enhanced her figure, making her look extremely
stunning.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“It fits you really well,” Nigel exclaimed. He was the one who hand-picked all three of the outfits, and he
had a feeling that she would choose the ash gray one. “I bet this dress costs more than 10,000, right?
Don’t lie to me!” Anastasia knew that the staff member had lied to her earlier, and she was certain that it
was Nigel’s instructions.
“The price of the dress doesn’t matter as long as it looks good on you,” he replied. As he stepped out of
the elevator, he casually slipped his hand into hers. “Tonight’s an important night, so we shouldn’t be
late.”
Anastasia didn’t know what to do after he held her hand, so she simply allowed him to lead her out of her
residential area. His flashy sports car was parked at the entrance of her residential area, and both of
them stepped out of the building looking like they were a prince and princess prepared for a party. Many
passersby glanced in their direction as they walked.
However, at that very moment, a black Rolls-Royce Phantom appeared from the other side of the road.
The man inside the black car happened to see the man and woman walking out while holding hands.
Nigel held the door open for Anastasia, and she got in the passenger’s seat elegantly. Then, Nigel
walked around the front of the car to get in the driver’s seat.
