Chapter 158

“Didn’t you send someone in the afternoon to summon me to your office?” Anastasia asked the man on

the sofa.

Frowning, Elliot replied, “I didn’t.”

Immediately, she remembered that it was Grace who came to relay the message. But where did she get

the orders from? Obviously, this was planned to make the situation look like a coincidence.

Sneering deep down, Anastasia already knew that this was another one of Hayley’s ploys.

Still sitting on the sofa, Elliot asked with his seductive low voice, “Do you still need me to explain all to

you again?”

Giving his phone back to him, Anastasia noticed that his pale skin was unnaturally flushed. Paired with a

sweat-covered forehead, the usually stern looking Elliot looked a bit weak under the light.

“A-Are you alright?” Anastasia asked guiltily. Don’t tell me it’s because of the spicy food tonight!

“My stomach hurts.” Covering his stomach with his big hand, he then added strugglingly, “It’s fine,

though. It’s still bearable.”

Frightened, Anastasia kneeled by the man in panic as she asked hurriedly, “Does it hurt a lot? Do you

want to go to the hospital? If you have stomach problems, why did you eat all that spicy food just now?

You could’ve just told me! Why are you so dumb?!”

Anastasia was panicking and she could no longer think straight, as she blamed herself and him for not

voicing this fact out.

Seeing her in this state, Elliot chuckled after admiring this scene in front of him for a while. “If I didn’t eat

all that, how would you have forgiven me?”

Feeling her chest tighten, Anastasia knew that it was indeed her fault as she made all those spicy food

on purpose.

“Then what should we do now? Should we go to the hospital?” She looked at him guiltily.

“No need. There’s a pharmacy at the entrance of the community, so just get me a box of stomach

medicine from there.” After saying that, Elliot handed over the empty cup to her. “And I’ll have to trouble

you for another cup of warm water.”

After refilling the cup with warm water and passing it to him, Anastasia then rushed out with her bag and

keys.

In the elevator, she was greatly regretting her actions. I shouldn’t have pranked him like this! How was I

supposed to know that he had a weak stomach?

Thinking about it, a workaholic like him having stomach problems was not out of the ordinary. However, it

didn’t show because he took care of his body daily. It was due to the spiciness of the food tonight and the

amount that she fed him that the ugly head of his stomach pains reared itself as a result.

Let’s just get the medicine as fast as possible! If it really doesn’t work, I can ask Rey to come and take

him to the hospital.

And so, Anastasia rushed home after buying the medicine. However, when she opened the door, she

was met with the sight of Elliot clutching his stomach. He looked as if he was in agony at that moment.

“I’ve bought some medicine for you. Here, take two of these.” With that, she then saw that the

instructions was actually to take three, so she took out three pills before giving it to Elliot. “Just take it

first! If it really doesn’t work out, I’ll call for Rey to come and take you to the hospital.”

Elliot took the pills and swallowed it with the help of some water. Lying on the sofa, he then said, “There’s

no need for that. I just have to rest for a while.”

A panicked Anastasia was drenched in sweat, as she had run back and forth from the pharmacy.

Looking deeply at her, the man was secretly quite happy inside due to her showing such concern for him.

As expected, this woman cares about me.

Yet, he was mistaken. The reason why Anastasia was in such a panic was only because she was trying

to make up for the fact that she caused his stomach to ache.

After all, she wasn’t at peace with the fact that she harmed him.

“You really don’t need to go to the hospital? There’s one quite nearby, you know?” Still worried,

Anastasia asked as she did not want him to suffer any longer.

I’m not as fragile as you think. I’ll be fine after bearing with it for a moment.” With that, Elliot kept sipping

from her cup from time to time.

Relaxing for a bit, she finally sat down onto the sofa while she breathed out. Then, she said guilty, “You

should’ve told me that you can’t stomach spicy food! Also, you should’ve told me earlier that you have

stomach issues. Otherwise, I would’ve had…”

Meanwhile Elliot was starting to compile all the things that had taken place. Why did she prank me? Is it

because she saw the scene where I was blowing on Hayley’s eyes? Did Anastasia think that I was going

to kiss Hayley? Is that the reason why she’s angry? Is it out of jealousy that she pranked me? Can it be

that Anastasia has fallen in love with me?
