Chapter 150
The waiter named the price with a smile. âThat will be 5,888, thank you!â
Anastasiaâs almond-shaped eyes widened when she heard the unbelievably expensive price tag that the
cup of coffee had. âThatâs unreasonably expensive!â
âThe coffee was brewed with coffee beans of the finest quality, so it is definitely worth the price.â
Anastasia was rendered speechless. The coffee cost me a fortune although I have barely sipped it-I
didnât even manage to relish the taste. âFine, just get me the bill. Pack the coffee too. Add some ice,
sugar and cream please.â Then, she took out her card and handed it to a stunned waiter.
The waiter immediately asked his colleague to pack the drink. However, Anastasiaâs action led Leah,
who was sitting near the window, to scoff at her. âAnastasia, my apologies. Iâve forgotten that you are an
ordinary white-collar employee. I reckon that this cup of coffee must have cost about half of your monthly
salary!â
Anastasia wasnât bothered to respond and she was unfazed by the unusual glances from the waiters
around. When the waiter handed her the coffee, she took the coffee and left with her chest puffed out.
Upon seeing that, Leah was so pissed that she clenched her teeth. Anastasiaâs really a tough nut to
crack, she thought.
It was almost lunch hour when Anastasia returned to the office. She asked Felicia out for lunch and told
her about all that had happened earlier that day.
âWhat? She was spiteful to you?â Felicia asked in shock.
âYes! She even attempted to force me to leave my friends, so she deliberately made things difficult for
me. It wasnât her intention to do business with us at all.â At that point, Anastasia had yet to mention the
incident about the coffee!
âIn that case, Iâll make a request with the management to collect liquidated damages from her instead. I
canât put you in a difficult situation because of this,â a reasonable Felicia replied, to which Anastasia
nodded and responded, âSorry for the trouble, Felicia.â
âNo worries. We canât let anyone bully us because of this, eh?â Felicia smiled. Besides, with Elliot
around, nobody can lay a finger on you!
At about 2.00PM, she went upstairs to Elliotâs office. Elliot was sitting on the couch reading a document.
The man displayed high work efficiency; the large pile of documents that had been on his desk that
morning had vanished with only a few remaining documents.
âPresident Presgrave, I have something Iâd like to report to you,â Felicia uttered.
Elliot placed the documents down and nodded. âGo ahead.â
She reiterated the incident that had happened that morning, whereby Anastasia had met Leah, before
she added, âIâd talk to you regarding their request for liquidated damage.â
It was apparent that Elliotâs expression darkened when he heard the story. âHow dare she request for
liquidated damages from our company after she bullied my staff! Does Miss Hart think that our legal
department is good for nothing?â he coldly replied:
Felicia was stunned by his response. It seems like President Presgrave is really enraged!
âIâll phone Miss Hart and discuss with her to see whether we can resolve this amicably.â
âInvite Miss Hart over in the afternoon. Iâd like to personally talk to her about the liquidated damages,â he
impassively replied. It seemed like he had no plans to let this slide easily.
She was pleased upon seeing his reaction. I canât wait for the interesting drama to unfold. âNoted,
President Presgrave.â
After Felicia had left the room, Elliot narrowed his eyes and thought, That woman was bullied?
On the other hand, Felicia called Leah the first thing after returning to her office. She invited Leah over to
talk about the liquidated damages without mentioning that Elliot wanted to see her: personally. Leah
coincidentally happened to be nearby, so she would be arriving in 20 minutes, at most.
Thereafter, Felicia went to Anastasiaâs office to inform her that Leahâs matter would be handled by Elliot,
which stunned Anastasia. âDoes he even have the time to deal with this?â
âAnastasia, do you think Leah would receive the liquidated damages?â
âShe would be really lucky if she really gets it; it would be as if earning two million is like a walk in the
park. I would have done so if itâs really that good of a deal.â Anastasiaâs eyes beamed at the discovery of
a new way to become rich.
âDonât be foolish. Thatâs a crime. Itâs more realistic to go to work.â With that, Felicia left the scene with a
grin.
Anastasia propped her chin on her arm and dropped the thought.
Twenty minutes later, Leah arrived at their office along with her best friend. Felicia invited them into a
reception room and greeted them warmly.
