Chapter 123 The man’s expression dimmed as his lips twitched a little. “No;” he muttered. Anastasia let out a scoff. “I'm afraid someone as plain and normal as me will never be able to converse with someone as high and mighty as you.” After finishing her sentence, Anastasia picked her bag up and walked away.

Coincidentally, Hayley was walking over with some plates of food. The moment Hayley saw Anastasia walking in her direction, Hayley intentionally leaned closer to Anastasia so that she could allow herself to be hit by Anastasia’s shoulder. Then, Hayley started her grand performance.

She threw her plate onto the ground as she stumbled and clutched the table beside her. “Ah...” she let out a weak cry. Elliot had his back against them at first, but he immediately turned around when he heard the sound of glass shattering. The moment he turned, he saw Hayley clutching a chair, Anastasia looking back while scoffing, and glass shattered all over the ground.

Anastasia didn’t bother to take a second look at the situation and simply walked off. Hayley quickly bent down to pick up the shattered glass pieces, but the man stopped her. “Don’t pick that up! You might cut yourself. Get the servers to do it!” Hayley had done that on purpose-she knew that Elliot wouldn't watch her pick up the glass shards without saying anything, “What a waste,” she muttered as she put on a mournful look. As she spoke, she rubbed her shoulder.

“Did she hurt you?” Elliot asked in a caring tone.

“It's not her fault. | don’t blame her for anything.” Hayley bit her lip as if she were trying to force herself to endure all the ways in which she had been wronged. This would make it seem like Anastasia was the rude, demanding one. A rather troubled look flashed across Elliot's face. For some reason, he felt rather exasperated at Anastasia’s behavior-he didn’t want her to be such a rude person.

Anastasia clearly knew that Hayley was putting on an act, but she didn’t want to do anything about it. Elliot's blind, so he won't be able to realize anything on his own. | don’t want to be the person to tell him any of this, she thought.

Meanwhile, Nigel and his parents were still in the VIP room. Nigel's parents were introducing him to a few other senior figures in the business industry. They hoped that these seniors would provide their son with more guidance and support in the future. After Nigel clinked glasses and introduced himself to all of them, he finally got the chance to sneak out to the grand hall.

He only looked around for a few moments before he found the attractive, curvy figure he had been looking for in the crowd.

At the same time, Elliot strode out from the buffet area. Nigel caught sight of him almost immediately, and Nigel intentionally walked over to Anastasia before putting his arm around her waist. “Did you miss me?” he asked in an intimate tone.

Anastasia jumped a little before she turned to see Nigel. “You scared me!” she chuckled. Nigel then leaned closer to whisper into Anastasia’s ear. However, from Elliot's angle, it looked more like Nigel was giving Anastasia a kiss on the cheek. “You're so gorgeous tonight, Anastasia,” Nigel whispered into her ear before smiling while letting go of her.

But in Elliot's eyes, he was certain that he had just witnessed Nigel kissing Anastasia in front of everyone. Furthermore, Anastasia just let out a smile as if she enjoyed his kiss a lot. Elliot's entire face stiffened after he witnessed this scene, and he immediately turned and walked in a different direction after that.

Nigel watched his cousin walk away, and he let out a soft sigh as he thought, It seems like my little plan worked out! Anastasia had no idea what was going on, and Nigel quickly held her hand before leading her aside. “Hey, let's go to get some rest in one of the rooms on the second floor. There are too many people here; it's a little noisy.” Anastasia had no choice but to go up to the second floor with him since he was holding her. As they walked up the stairs, a few men who had been drinking bumped into them, which made Nigel more annoyed than before.

Once they got to the rooms on the second floor, Nigel told the waiter to send them some fruits. Then, he lazily loosened his tie while leaning back in his chair. He was dressed in a light blue suit and had his hair waxed and combed up. He looked especially handsome that day-he gave off a boyish, cool yet elegant aura.

Unfortunately, Anastasia only saw this handsome man as her good friend and nothing more than that. For the past two years, Anastasia only ever thought of him as a good friend. She couldn’t date someone she knew too well.
