Chapter 367 Can't COver for Lunch The next morning, Anastasia applied for toff for her son and called Felicia. When Felicia heard that she was going to take three months off, she was shocked.

“Did you tell President Presgrave about this?” Deep down, Felicia felt that it wasn’t in her power to approve Anastasia’s leave.

“You can discuss it with him, but if he doesn’t agree, | will resign from the job.” “Okay. I'll ask him,” answered Felicia.

Ten minutes later, Felicia returned the call. “President Presgrave has approved your request and will offer you three months of paid leave, but I'm going to miss you so much.” “Thanks.” Anastasia thought she would miss Felicia a lot too.

“Let's keep in touch!” “Sure. Thanks for taking care ofall this while, Felicia,” said Anastasia thankfully.

“Don’t say that. I'm aware that the reason President Presgrave acquired QR Group isn't that he sees the growth potential in us; he only did it because of you. Without you, Bourgeois wouldn't have been so lucky.” Felicia had seen through everything.

Anastasia’s heart twitched at that, so she asked Felicia, “Do you know who negotiated with the client | went to visit yesterday?” It was because her kidnapper seemed to expect her to be there, and it felt like she had stepped into a trap.

Felicia didn’t know about the kidnapping incident, so she didn’t think much about it as she answered, “Aliona was the one who negotiated with the client. She was supposed to go and meet them, but the client specified that they wanted to see you, so | sent you there instead.” Aliona? Is she anyhow related to the kidnapping case? Anastasia furrowed her brows and fell into deep thought.

She couldn't figure out if Aliona was related to Riley or the client, but why was the client assigned to Aliona first and passed on to her eventually? “Thanks, Felicia. Let's meet again soon.” “Sure!” Felicia replied with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, Anastasia glanced at the time. It was tto prepare lunch for her son.

However, there was nothing in the fridge, so she turned to Jared. “Jared, cgrocery shopping with me.” “Okay!” Jared exclaimed in excitement.

With that, Anastasia grabbed a parka and put it on him. The weather outside was already at 50 degrees Fahrenheit, so she had to make sure that he wouldn't catch a cold.

After going downstairs, Anastasia noticed that the bodyguards from yesterday were still standing in the sspot. When she left, they followed her.

Anastasia allowed them to follow her as she and Jared entered a supermarket to get sgroceries.

While Anastasia was picking svegetables, she heard her son's excited voice. “Mr. Presgrave!” As soon as she raised her head, she saw Elliot in a black trench coat walking toward her among the crowd. His tall and straight figure moved in an imposing manner. He crouched down and picked Jared up as the little boy rushed toward him.

Instantly, Anastasia’s mind turned chaotic. She had thought it through for the past two days and made up her mind to stop seeing him.

At this moment, however, he messed up all her plans.

“Mommy, you should buy extra ingredients! Mr. Presgrave will be coming over for lunch!” exclaimed Jared.

Anastasia felt as if there was something stuck in her throat, but she quickly retorted, “He’s busy. He can’t cover for lunch.” “Mr. Presgrave, are you really not coming over for lunch?” Jared asked Elliot.

Elliot looked at Anastasia, who was picking the vegetables, and asked tentatively, “Are you going to cook fortoo?” “Nope!” Anastasia uttered without raising her head. She was holding two bags of vegetables as if comparing them both, but in reality, she couldn't even focus.

Her attention wasn’t on the vegetables at all.

However, her indifferent reply hit Elliot the hard way. With a sullen face, he turned to Jared and said, “Your mom is right. I'm busy, so | can’t cover to have lunch with you.” “I really want you to come, though!” Jared pouted.

“I really want to ctoo!” Elliot offered a helpless chuckle.

Sadly, someone didn’t want him there.

At that moment, Anastasia’s eyes turned red, so she shifted to another area to pick other ingredients. At the stime, she looked far away, intending to stop her tears from flowing.

Elliot had sharp senses and realized that Anastasia was crying, so he quickly uttered behind her back, “I'll bring Jared home.” Anastasia didn’t respond. When she turned around, she saw his tall figure carrying her son out of the supermarket.
