My Baby’s Daddy

Chapter 163

At that moment, Anastasia stood up abruptly and she stared incredulously at the two bouquets of flowers

that were sent within the short span of ten minutes. Why did Nigel send two bouquets today?

And so, she stood up and walked to stand in front of the rose bouquet. Suddenly, she realized that there

was a card attached to the flowers, so she reached out to retrieve it. It turned out that there was a

succinct sentence on the card-‘I hope that there will be a favorable outcome for my patience!

Meanwhile, it was signed with the last name Pesgrave, with the date written below.

Anastasia’s beautiful eyes widened and she couldn’t believe it as she looked at the signature. There was

only one man that she knew who had that last name Pesgrave. Could it be from him?!

Shortly after that, she walked to stand in front of the table and took the landline. Next, she dialed the

number to the president’s office. However, no one answered the phone.

She refused to give up, so she took out her cell phone and dialed his number once again.

“Hello.” The low, baritone voice that rang out was quite melodious to the ears.

Meanwhile, Anastasia didn’t beat around the bush and she posed the question directly. “Did you send

me a bouquet of flowers?”

“Do you like it?”

“You’re being stupid. Don’t do that again.” She kept her eyes on the two bouquets of flowers on the

couch as she wondered how to deal with them.

“You love the flowers that Nigel sent you, but you’re actually disgusted by the ones I sent?” The man on

the other end of the line voiced out frustratedly.

Upon hearing that, Anastasia was at a loss for words. “Why are you comparing yourself to him? He’s my

friend but you’re my boss. Why did you send me flowers?”

“I like sending you flowers, so I’ll do as I please. The choice is yours whether to accept it or not.” After

Elliot finished his sentence, he immediately hung up on her.

Feeling slightly shocked, Anastasia glanced at the phone in her hands. This was the second time she

was hung up on and she lamented to herself, This guy’s mood is quite unpredictable.

Shortly after that, Grace sent some documents into the room. As soon as she noticed the two bouquets

on the couch, she couldn’t help going forward to admire them. “Wow! It’s so pretty! These roses are

imported and even a single stalk of it is quite pricey, not to mention that there are about thirty stalks in

this bouquet!”

“You can have it. Use it to accessorize the vase on your desk if you like.”

“Are you sure? Can I really take two stalks with me?” Grace asked joyfully.

“Yup. It will last a couple more days in a vase. If anyone else likes some, share it with them too. Just take

the whole thing with you.”

“Wow! Anastasia, you’re awesome! Thanks! I’ll take it and share with everyone else then.” Grace took

the huge bouquet of roses and walked out to distribute it to the others.

Indeed, in no time at all, the huge bouquet was disassembled and distributed to everyone. Subsequently,

the entire office got to know that Anastasia’s admirer had gifted her with some imported roses.

Everyone speculated that it must be a man from a well-to-do family.

In the afternoon, there was a weekly meeting, so Felicia knocked on the door to Anastasia’s office and

popped inside to have a chat with her. As they spoke, Felicia suddenly leaned forward and shot a

secretive look at Anastasia. “Anastasia, I’ve got a request. Could you help me with something?”

“Anything, Felicia.” Evidently, Anastasia was willing to help if she could.

“Well, the thing is, we’re in discussions to come up with another snack area. We’ve discussed this

together and everyone was thinking of getting Belle Patisserie to join the company, but I’m sure you’re

aware that they are overly expensive and the cost of it would bust our budget. The price is a concern.”

Anastasia couldn’t quite comprehend how this matter related to her despite listening intently to Felicia’s

words. How can I be of help then?

.

Soon after that, Anastasia directly voiced out, “Well, how can I be of any help?”

“I’ll invite President Presgrave to attend the meeting this afternoon. When the time

comes, could you mention this in the meeting? I want to seek his approval. Once he approves, it would

make things easier to proceed with the human relations department.” Felicia looked at Anastasia

expectantly.

At that moment, Anastasia was at a loss for words and after quite some time, she asked slightly

doubtfully, “Do you think my words would make a difference?” .

“If you’re the one who voices out, then the chances of this being a success would be much higher than if

any of us were to do it.” Felicia was confident that this would be approved if Anastasia brought it up.

“Okay, then. I’ll casually bring it up in the meeting. But I don’t have the confidence that it’ll be a success.”

“Sure. You just have to briefly mention it during the meeting.” Felicia reached out to pat her on the

shoulder before taking another look at the bouquet of flowers on the couch. “Anastasia, you’ve got plenty

of admirers, huh?”

Anastasia’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that and she hurriedly explained, “No, you’re

mistaken!”

“I also took a share of two stalks of that imported red roses that you received! It obviously looks like top-

quality red roses that came from Holland. The sender of the flowers is quite thoughtful!”

As soon as Anastasia thought of the sender of the flowers, she suddenly felt a looming headache. With a

chuckle, she replied, “I don’t know who sent the flowers because there was no name attached.”
