Chapter 338 An Unexpected Call
Elliot nodded and replied, âYes.â
âThen, I wonât give it away.â Anastasia didnât want to waste his effort in choosing these roses for her. The
last time she gave it away, he blew his top.
He pursed his lips after he heard her as happiness flashed across his eyes. Does this mean that
Anastasia has finally started to accept my love?
At that moment, Anastasia noticed there were more nosy coworkers gathering outside her door, which
was when it dawned on her that Elliot had just strutted through the entire design department with the
roses before entering her office. Great. There is no way out of this scandal now.
âNext time, let the flower shopâs worker deliver it. You donât have to send it yourself,â she reminded him
with a grin.
He squinted his upturned eyes and assured, âIn the future, any flowers for you will be chosen and
delivered by myself.â
Anastasia didnât know how to respond to Elliotâs voice. At that very moment, her landline rang. She
picked up the receiver and answered, âHello?â
âAnastasia, itâs meeting time.â Feliciaâs voice sounded from the other side.
âOkay. Iâll be right away.â After she hung up the phone, she placed the flower on the table and said to
him, âI need to attend a meeting.â
Then, he gave her a cheeky smile and said, âWeâre going together.â
As soon as Elliot pushed open the office door, the onlookers immediately dispersed but he was not
bothered with them. He gazed at Anastasia and instructed, âYou should proceed to the conference room
first.â
When Anastasia stepped out of her office after Elliot left, a female assistant approached her and asked,
âAnastasia, why did President Presgrave send you flowers?â
âWhat else? It is because President Presgrave is pursuing Anastasia!â someone answered in the
background.
âGuys, let us just focus on work,â Anastasia insisted with a polite smile as she headed toward the
conference room. â
However, when she was passing a corner, she suddenly bumped into someone. Her shoulder was hurt
by the force and the other person was pushed against the wall. When she raised her head, Aliona
squinted at her and her eyes were filled with malice. âDonât you even look while youâre walking?â she
chided.
In that instant, Anastasia deduced that Elliotâs flower show had agitated her.
âSorry about that,â she faintly apologized to Aliona.
However, her smile seemed to add fuel to the fire as Aliona turned around and walked away, looking
even more aggravated.
In the conference room, Felicia instructed Anastasia to take her previous seat and the empty seat next to
Anastasia was reserved for Elliot.
At this moment, Aliona had just entered the conference room and as she walked to her seat, a female
designer tried to intentionally flame the fire. âAnastasia, President Presgrave personally bought you such
a big bouquet of roses. You are so lucky!â she stated purposefully.
Another designer concurred, âOf course. Anastasia is President Presgraveâs true love!â
Anastasia was not happy to hear that as she lifted her head and glanced at the two female designers,
warning them silently with her gaze. Immediately, the two designers stopped making waves and
exchanged a timid smile.
âI have received your design manuscripts. From now on, we will spare no effort in preparing the jewelry
show.â
Finally, the meeting had started.
âWhat should we do if plagiarism happens, Felicia?â Alice asked suddenly.
Feliciaâs expression became serious. âLet me reiterate. In our industry, plagiarism is a serious matter.
When plagiarism occurs, it first damages the individualâs reputation, and more importantly, it brings
dishonor to the company. Furthermore, it results in significant losses for the company, hence our
company strictly prohibits plagiarism.â
Alice curved her lips with a satisfied look after hearing Feliciaâs statement. âI agree. If such behavior is
found, this person must leave the atelier,â she concurred.
After speaking, Alice glanced at Anastasia wittingly with a smug expression.
At this moment, the conference roomâs door was pushed open. Elliot entered and sat beside Anastasia.
At first, Anastasia was calm with Elliotâs appearance, but she noticed that both of their arms were on the
table and their couple bracelets were on display.
She blushed and quickly hid her arm under the table , but fortunately no one had noticed this.
When Felicia was talking about the current prospects of the international market, Anastasiaâs cell phone
rang suddenly. She glanced at the phone and noticed it was an unknown number. She bent down to hide
her head under the table to answer in a low tone, âWho is this?â
