Chapter 104 Where else would Nigel go? Of course, he went upstairs to see the man who was trying to get his woman. No matter who they were, Nigel wouldn't allow anyone to touch Anastasia.

The door to Elliot's office was pushed open before someone entered. Elliot looked up to see Nigel walking in with the aura of a young cheetah ready to attack.

Elliot narrowed his eyes as he looked at Nigel. “What brings you here? You should've told me you were coming.” Nigel placed his palms on the desk, his eyes full of warning. “Elliot, are you trying to court Anastasia?” Elliot's fingers that were typing away on the keyboard came to a pause, after which he said calmly, “What are you getting at?” “Anastasia is the woman | set my eyes on. You're not allowed to take her away, and you definitely mustn't get involved with her in the name of work.” Nigel defended his prey with all his might. No one will get near her, not even Elliot! No! Elliot glanced up with a distant look as he said calmly, “She doesn't belong to anyone. Everyone has the right to pursue her.” Nigel's handsome face froze as he instantly sensed an oppressive aura. If any other man were to pursue Anastasia, he wouldn't be so stressed out. However, if it were Elliot, Nigel would be overcome with the panic that came from having a tricky rival.

There was a certain sense of helplessness and frustration in Nigel's heart. If he succeeded, Anastasia would be his wife. If he failed, she would be his cousin's.

No, he definitely wouldn't give up.

Nigel wasn’t one to admit defeat easily, even if his rival was his own cousin. At that moment, he decided that he would do everything in his power to get Anastasia’s hand. He no longer had eyes for any other woman; his heart was already full of Anastasia.

Nigel looked at the man on the chair, who was exuding a certain mature charm. He took a deep breath and said, “Fine, let's compete on fairgrounds and see who gets her in the end.” With that, Nigel turned and left.

Elliot narrowed his eyes, for he had never thought that he and Nigel would fall for the same woman at the same time. In reality, Elliot wasn’t anxious at all. If Anastasia really loved his silly little cousin, he wouldn't fail to woo her for two whole years.

The events that happened to Anastasia had caused her to avoid men as much as she could. She guarded herself heavily with thick armor, and she wouldn’t entrust her heart and body so easily to any man.

As long as he knew this, even if Nigel pursued her with everything he had, it would just be a waste of effort. It wouldn't be easy to move this woman's heart.

In the office, Anastasia’s phone suddenly rang. Instantly, she lifted her phone to see that it was a call from Harriet, so she immediately answered the call.

“Hello, Old Madam Presgrave.” “Anastasia, are you busy?” Harriet's gentle voice asked.

“I'm all right. I'm not too busy right now.” “If you are, just tell me. I'll get Elliot to decrease your workload. You still have a child to take care of, so don’t overwork yourself.” “It's okay, Old Madam Presgrave. I'm not overwhelmed at all. Do you have something to tell me?” Anastasia didn’t want to bother Elliot, much less get special treatment from him.

“Are you free this Friday? I'd like to invite you to a charity banquet under my name.” Anastasia was dumbfounded. Attend a banquet? “Anastasia, many VIPs will be attending this banquet, so it will be very helpful for your work in the future. | can help you establish connections with people of a higher class and expand your network. This will help you a lot in your future circle.” Anastasia knew Harriet meant well, and it would be rude for her to decline.

“Yes, I'll attend the banquet,” Anastasia agreed.

“All right, I'll see you there. I'll send you the invitation card later.” “Thank you for the invitation, Old Madam Presgrave. I'm honored.” “Okay, see you. Take it easy, and just ask Elliot to help you if you run into any problems.” “All right. Thank you for your concern, Old Madam Presgrave,” Anastasia said with a smile.

When the call ended, Anastasia couldn't help but sigh in relief. She decided that when the day came, she would just hang around the banquet for a bit before leaving.

After all, she didn't like such occasions.
