Chapter 224 Is He Back?

“All right. Next, our company will give our all to pull through this season. By the end of this month,

everyone will be expected to submit double of your usual workload. Also, make sure you show me the

extent of your capabilities, and don’t be lax about it.”

After the meeting, Felicia knocked on Anastasia’s office door and came in with a cup of coffee, meaning

to have a chat with Anastasia.

“Anastasia, Alice is now promoted to associate director, and she’s trying to make things hard for you in

every aspect in the company. You should watch out in case you fall into her traps.”

“Okay, got it. Thanks for your concern, Felicia.” Anastasia pursed her lips and smiled, grateful for a

wonderful friend like Felicia.

“Oh, you’re looking at cars! You decided to get one, then?” Out of curiosity, Felicie leaned over and

peered at the screen of her monitor.

Anastasia nodded. “I’m looking at some models. It’s not very convenient to hail rides to and from work

every day, and the expenses add up quite a lot as well. It’d be more convenient if I had a car.”

“Did anything catch your fancy? Which model?”

“I’ve never driven a car ever since I got my license, so I’ve decided on this hatchback.” Anastasia pointed

at a smaller BMW hatchback. It was right within her budget.

Felicia looked through the configurations with Anastasia, then in the afternoon, she went with Anastasia

to look at the car in person. Anastasia gave it a test drive, and it was quite a decent experience. The

performance was satisfactory, and the car looked nice and elegant with its white exterior.

Anastasia had been deliberating over cars for around 5 days now, and she finally decided on this model.

Right on the spot, she paid the price in full with her card, and let the shop handle the paperwork and

whatnot before going back to the company with Felicia.

The car would be ready to drive the day after tomorrow, and Anastasia was also looking forward to the

first car she would own in her life. This was an important milestone for normal folk like her.

Anastasia had also invited Oliver to lunch, but this programmer never really had time. He was tackling a

tricky project at the moment, so he was extremely busy. Anastasia could only wait until Oliver had more

time before treating him to lunch. She still owed him one for picking up her phone the other day.

These few days, Anastasia’s life had been very peaceful because it lacked one person.

Elliot!

If that man didn’t take the initiative to appear in front of her, Anastasia would have a zero chance of

bumping into him.

This was because this man dwelled only in high-ranking areas. Even his own subordinates didn’t get to

meet him once in the span of a whole year, much less normal people.

Six days passed in the blink of an eye. Halfway through her drafting, Anastasia paused her actions

before a domineering figure appeared in her mind. He should be back from his business trip by now.

Anastasia immediately shook her head. Why am I thinking about him?

Anastasia bit her red lip and returned her attention to her draft. Just then, her landline rang. Anastasia

looked up with her pretty eyes and hastily answered the call. “Hello, who is it?”

“Anastasia, have you finished signing the document sent to you just now?” Grace’s voice sounded.

“Oh… Yes, I’m done. You can come and take it back.” With that, Anastasia hung up, then slapped her

head in annoyance.

What’s wrong with me? Did I just hope that it was Elliot? I can’t believe how much this dude can affect

me!

Just then, the phone rang again, and her heartbeat quickened a little. She reached out and picked up the

call. “Hello, who is it?”

“Anastasia, when are you submitting your drafts for this month? I’ve already delayed your deadline by

two days. Don’t you dare slack off” Alice’s voice went through the device, urging her.

“I’ll work overtime tonight, and I’ll try my best to submit it tomorrow,” Anastasia replied.

“Listen, I’m keeping an eye on you. If you still haven’t submitted it by 10am tomorrow, I’ll deduct your

performance bonus. Humph!” Without saying goodbye, Alice hung up.

Anastasia felt a little troubled. Alice was now starting to bully Anastasia with her new position as the

associate director. She would use every small mistake Anastasia made to get at her.

Anastasia knew she couldn’t keep on daydreaming. Therefore, she returned to her drawing pad, but

when she looked at the time, it was already 3.30pm. She was forced to give up and continue her work at

home later at night because she had to pick up her son.

At the kindergarten, the little fellow had asked her about Elliot before, and she had told him that Elliot

would be away on a business trip for one week. Unexpectedly, the little guy remembered this detail.

“Mommy, did Mr. Presgrave come back today? Will he be having dinner at our house?” Jared had a look

of expectation on his face.
