Chapter 395 Keep an Eye on Her âDo you want me to help you out?â Elliot wanted to take over for Anastasia.
âNo, thanks.â She had to inspect it herself.
âIn that case, you should take a short break.â
âI'm good.â Anastasiaâs eyes were a little bloodshot, but she wasnât in the mood to take a break.
âYou'll wear your eyes out.â Elliotâs heart broke as he watched from the side.
â| have to finish watching it all.â At that, she forced herself to close her eyes and take a break. While she rubbed her temples, she suddenly felt a big, warm palm massaging her neck lightly. It felt super relaxing.
Meanwhile, Alice snuck a peek outside to find Elliot massaging Anastasiaâs neck, causing her to feel jealous yet horrified.
She had clearly underestimated Anastasia and Elliotâs relationship. More than that, she feared that theyâd discover her crimes.
After returning to her office, she unlocked her phone and grew nervous upon seeing the five hundred thousand transferred into her account earlier that day.
Anastasia returned to work after taking a short break. Meanwhile, Elliot took a sip from her coffee and suddenly thought of something. With that, he took his phone and headed out.
He didnât affect her progress, but it didnât mean he didnât have other ways of investigating.
When he came back in, Anastasia was still fixing her eyes on the laptop screen. However, her brows suddenly locked into a deep furrow upon seeing someone coming out of her office.
Alice had stayed in her office for less than two minutes before coming out. However, when she left, she looked visibly guilt-
ridden.
At that, Anastasia rewound and scrutinized Aliceâs expression. Then, she saved this portion of the footage before continuing her search.
Time had unknowingly come to 7.00PM, and Anastasia already had two cups of coffee at this point. Meanwhile, Elliot never looked away from her this whole time either. He finally grabbed her hand when he saw that her eyes were bloodshot and that she was refusing dinner.
âDinner first, and you can continue your search later.â
â| donât want to eat.â She was stressed out since she was being accused of plagiarism.
At that, Elliot's deep, domineering voice traveled to her ears. âYou have to even if you donât want to. If youâre worried that Savill won't let you off the hook, then thereâs no reason for you to fear at all. At worst, I'll acquire them tomorrow, and your problem will be solved.â
âAlright, you win! We'll eat at the restaurant across here,â Anastasia said, brushing her hair to the back.
While leaving Anastasiaâs office hand in hand, Elliot had his bodyguards come up and guard the space, forbidding anyone from entering.
When Alice found out that Anastasia was staying back to investigate, she stayed as well. Right then, she was texting Jacqueline and telling her about Anastasiaâs investigation progress.
âYou guys are sure you'll win the lawsuit, right? You canât drag me down with you.â
âMy boss is confident. Rest assured!â
Naturally, Alice couldnât be assured, for she didnât mention one important fact to JacquelineâAnastasiaâs relationship with Elliot.
Savill only knew that Anastasia was one of Bourgeoisâ designers. What they didnât know was that she was also the girlfriend of Presgrave Groupâs CEO.
This time, Alice had a creeping sense of panic that Savill would be meeting their doom.
She thought she should pack up and leave the country. When she came out, she snuck a peek at the two bodyguards stationed in front of Anastasiaâs office, and it affirmed her decision to leave the county immediately.
In the restaurant, Anastasia didnât have much appetite despite the table of good food in front of her.
âDon't overthink stuff. If anything, I'll support you.â With that, Elliot put some food on her plate, which she ate before saying with integrity, âI can support myself.â
Financially independent women were the most confident, after all.
Following that, he pushed a bow! of birdâs nest soup to her. âFinish this.â
Anastasia suddenly had a feeling she was being force-fed by this man. However, she still did as she was told.
Elliot's phone beeped just then, and he checked it to find a text from Rey. âPresident, | discovered that half a million was transferred to Alice Thompsonâs account at 2.00PM today. It was transferred from Savill Jewelry Atelierâs public account.â
In response to that, he replied, âKeep an eye on her.â
