Chapter 234 Anastasia’s Guts “Are you sure your husband is fine with you treatingto a meal, Anastasia?” Oliver asked in embarrassment.
It was then that Anastasia realized she didn't tell Oliver about herself. Thus, she smiled and replied, “| don’t have a husband. I'm a single mother.” Although Oliver had long had a feeling that Anastasia was a single mother, he was still surprised when he heard the lady admitting that by herself. “Isn’t the man | saw in your house last night your husband?” “Oh, no. Of course not. He... is just a friend of mine.” Anastasia refused to reveal Elliot's identity, but Oliver was sure about what he saw. After all, he could still remember Elliot's menacing gaze the night before, as if he was a beast that wanted to devour him alive. Thus, he was sure that Elliot was Anastasia’s admirer.
“Since we're living so close to each other, please don't forget to tellwhat you need, Anastasia.” Oliver scratched his head, enchanted by Anastasia’s pretty looks as he considered her a beauty, although she was already a mother.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn fact, when Oliver first laid eyes on Anastasia, he was deeply attracted by her elegance and gracefulness. After all, a charming lady like Anastasia was most attractive to men who hardly ever socialized.
“Alright. By the way, what tdo you go to work? Would you liketo give you a ride to work? Because that should also help you save smoney on traveling,” Anastasia asked.
Oliver's eyes lightened up as he happily smiled and replied, “Sure, but I'll either pay for your fuel or according to the mileage traveled.” Anastasia laughed it off and said, “No need for that. I'm driving to work anyway, so it causesno trouble to pick you up along the way.” “No way. You're puttingin a tough position to accept your offer.” Oliver insisted that he pay for her car fuel.
“Alright then, pay foronce every month when | gas up my car.” “Well, I'll pay for your fuel then.” Oliver insisted.
Anastasia smiled and said, “Sure, when we happen to stop by a gas station.” Thinking the chances of them stopping by the petrol station were slim, Anastasia was willing to give Oliver a ride to work because she wanted to have scompany so that she wouldn't feel bored.
At that moment, Anastasia’s phone, which was connected to her car’s audio, rang, whereupon the caller's nmade her heart sink when she saw it. Seriously, Elliot? Why are you calling me? Unwilling to answer the call, she let her phone ring while Oliver caught a glimpse of the caller's name—President Presgrave.
“Is he your boss?” “Yeah, he is.” “Hurry up and answer the call, then.” Oliver felt worried about Anastasia.
Thus, Anastasia showed Oliver a quiet gesture and picked up the call. “Hello, President Presgrave. What's the matter?” “Where is your car?” The man’s magnetic voice reverberated in the car’s interior.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“It's with me. I'm on my way to pick up my son now, so if there is nothing important..” “Watch out, Anastasia!” Oliver shouted out because Anastasia’s car was about to crash into another car.
Therefore, Anastasia applied an emergency brake, realizing that she must not let herself get distracted when driving.
“Who's the man in your car?” The caller questioned Anastasia, his voice echoing in the car.
“I'm driving now, President Presgrave, so it's not really a good tforto talk now. Bye.” Anastasia eventually lost her patience and told the man that she was about to hang up the call.
In the meantime, Oliver was puzzled by what was going on, as he couldn’t help but wonder about the relationship between Anastasia and her boss. Why is her boss so angry after he heard my voice? “Anastasia, if you ever dare to...” Before Elliot could finish his sentence, Anastasia went ahead and hung up on the former, only to receive another call from the man. Just when Oliver was nervously wondering why her boss was calling again, she heard Anastasia’s reply that was about to surprise him. “Don’t bother picking it up. Just let it ring.” Oliver was speechlessly stunned upon hearing Anastasia’s words but was impressed by her courage to let her boss’ call go unanswered. His respect for her grew greater when she subsequently switched her phone to silent mode.
In the meantime, Elliot was seen with a darkened gaze in the basement car park. | was only a few minutes late, and that lady is now gone with another man in her car. Who's that man, by the way? Why is he calling her Anastasia instead of Miss Tillman like she is his... What's worse is that she had the guts to hang up my call. Did | interrupt her affair with another man? At the thought of that, Elliot clenched his fists, feeling jealous of the man who was with Anastasia as it seemed to him that Oliver was having a good twith the woman he loved, just like he did earlier that afternoon.
Overwhelmed by his jealousy, he began to feel restless and uneasy.
