Chapter 311 His Burning Gaze

“It’s the annual board meeting. It is of the utmost importance, so do take a day off and attend,” Francis

said solemnly.

Since she didn’t have much planned for the day as well, Anastasia called Felicia to request a day off

before driving over to Francis’ company.

At around 10:00AM, she entered the conference room that was located in his company to join the rest

of the attendees. Alex was seated next to her for the board meeting and although he was of a young

age, all the directors were full of praise for him as he was indeed capable and had made significant

contributions to the company.

He fought for a place on the board with his capabilities, but his attention today was captured by

Anastasia. She wore a white shirt with a black skirt, which was both simple and elegant. With her long

hair draped behind her, she looked stunning.

Anastasia was merely playing the role of an audience at the meeting as she listened to her father’s

presentation of their latest project. Elliot’s name came to mind as she listened since this project was

obtained with his assistance.

Meanwhile, Elliot was with Rey in the office on the eighth floor of Bourgeois Jewelry Atelier. He dialed

Anastasia’s office number as soon as he sat down, but it went unanswered.

What is she doing?

Then, he took out his phone and dialed her number, which went unanswered as well. He was starting

to become annoyed. This woman is not picking up my call now?

“Check to see whether Anastasia is in her office,” he instructed Rey while sitting in front of a stack of

documents.

Rey immediately went straight to the Department of Design and after enquiring Anastasia’s assistant,

Grace, he learned that Anastasia had taken a day off.

He relayed this information to Elliot. With that, Elliot immediately gave Felicia a call to ask about this.

“Anastasia said she’ll be going to her father’s company,” she answered honestly.

Hearing that, Elliot’s face darkened because he remembered Alex, who was in Tillman Constructions

too.

Alex was both Francis’ right hand and his most trusted subordinate. Francis had already begun training

Alex to oversee all company affairs for Alex to be Anastasia’s assistant when she took the company

over in the future.

In addition to that, Elliot had also discovered Alex’s feelings toward Anastasia since the previous

Tillman Constructions’ annual event.

Both Alex and Anastasia had previously gone on a dinner date and he even sent her loving messages

as well, but she still happily went to see him.

The more he thought about it, the more dissatisfied Elliot became. He was putting in all his efforts to

court her, but she didn’t reciprocate and even turned herself to another man!

“President Presgrave, are you going to Tillman Constructions to look for Miss Tillman?” Rey asked

curiously.

It was something Elliot would normally do, but he was hesitant to lower his ego today. A relationship

should be a two-way street; if he was the only one making an effort, nothing would come of it.

“I’m not going to,” he replied with his face looking solemn.

Meanwhile, at Tillman Constructions, Anastasia was having lunch with her father together with the

other shareholders. Due to the meeting, her phone had been on silent mode earlier and it was only now

that she was able to check it. A few missed calls appeared on her screen, and seeing that, she couldn’t

help but to be surprised.

Elliot called? Why did he call?

She considered returning his call, but after a brief hesitation, she decided not to because there

appeared to be nothing urgent.

After the meal, she wanted to return to work, but Francis insisted on taking her to the new project with

him, so she had no choice but to oblige and accompany him to the site. Alex was with her the entire

day and he appeared to be more excited and happy than usual.

When they were at the site, her helmet didn’t seem to be properly buckled, so he helped her with it.

She shyly allowed him to do so since it was a windy day and the wind was constantly blowing through

her hair. Her skin appeared fair and smooth in the bright sunlight and along with her red lips, they made

Alex lose his heart to her.

“Thank you,” Anastasia gratefully said.

“You’re welcome.” Alex’s burning gaze was locked on her and he could not take his eyes off her any

more for the rest of the day.

Anastasia, on the other hand, was too preoccupied with helping her father to notice Alex’s persistent

gaze.
