Chapter 233 Show Me Some Respect
“That was a sports car worth a few million! If I had caused so much as a scratch on it, I could kiss my
car and money goodbye,” Anastasia replied, knowing well about the risk.
Elliot was rendered speechless. “Screw that. Just drive like you’re supposed to. I’ll pay for the damage
if the worst comes to the worst.” His face darkened before he asked the lady on the inside if she had
forgotten who was sitting right next to her.
Oh, come on, I’m someone who is going to ensure everything turns out as a success for her. Has she
really forgotten who is sitting beside her now?
“What’s wrong? Are you getting scared of being my passenger?” Anastasia chuckled in irony.
Although Elliot felt helpless about the lady’s mischief, he somehow felt happy on the inside because no
one else had made him feel so relaxed in a while. When they stopped at the traffic light, Anastasia
turned to the man and said, “President Presgrave, there is a box of tissue paper that they gave as a
gift. Could you please give me two pieces of tissue paper? Thank you.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElliot then reached for the box and gave the lady two pieces of tissue paper. With sweat covering her
forehead, Anastasia immediately grabbed them and wiped her forehead just as the man sitting next to
her chuckled at the sight of her rare true self.
Not long after that, Anastasia anxiously drove her car to the basement car park at Bourgeois. With
Elliot’s guidance, she successfully parked her car in the VIP lot, which was among the lots where Elliot
usually parked his car in.
“This is going to be your parking lot from now on,” Elliot said as he opened the car door and stepped
out of the vehicle.
When Anastasia stepped out of her car, she started to feel a soreness in her back and shoulders, her
legs feeling a little numb. Thus, she swung her shoulders in circles to relax the muscles in her arms,
kicking to stretch her legs at the same time. Meanwhile, Elliot, who saw that, couldn’t help but look the
other way with a chuckle, thinking he shouldn’t embarrass her by letting him see her laughing at her.
As soon as the elevator arrived on the sixth floor, Anastasia stepped out of it and looked back at the
man behind her, meeting his gaze by coincidence. In that instant, she felt her heart pounding rapidly
just as she decided to walk away immediately. Then, she entered Felicia’s office and told her that she
had just collected her new car earlier. Also, she invited Felicia, along with both of their assistants, for
lunch the next day at noon to celebrate her new car. Moments later, Anastasia returned to her office
shortly before Alice entered in a hostile manner. “Where is the draft, Anastasia?”
“I talked to Felicia about that, and I’m allowed to submit it tomorrow.”
“That’s just procrastination. You’re abusing your power because you think you’re given the privilege to
do so.” Alice then propped herself with her arms on the table, ridiculing Anastasia. “Don’t ever think that
you’re going to win it all after seducing President Presgrave and stealing his heart.”
“Well, it takes a lot to win it all. Do you know that? But speaking of that, I don’t think my capability is
outmatched by yours in any way!” Anastasia folded her arms, refuting Alice’s words.
“A true woman never relies on a man to achieve success. You’re a disgrace to all the ladies!” Alice
humiliated Anastasia.
“Watch your mouth, lady! You’d better show me some respect.” Anastasia stood up and glared at Alice.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“If you want somebody else’s respect, you’re going to have to make sure you behave yourself.
Everyone in our company knows that President Presgrave has a girlfriend, but you won’t stop hanging
around with him every day. Do you know you look like a filthy lady to me, Anastasia?” Alice fixed her
gaze upon Anastasia in a sarcastic manner, yet her eyes were filled with envy and jealousy.
On the other hand, Anastasia was aware of how her relationship with Elliot was viewed to be a
laughingstock in her company, but only she knew that she didn’t do anything to seduce Elliot.
Therefore, she had no choice but to bear with the misunderstanding and disdain that everyone had
toward her.
“Get out of my face! I still have work to do.” Anastasia immediately cut the argument short as Alice
walked away satisfactorily. After all, she only swung by Anastasia’s office to get on the latter’s nerves,
trying to play on her emotions.
Soon, Anastasia gave Oliver a call fifteen minutes before she could leave work and discussed the
dinner they were going to have together later that night.
