Then, she felt a deep and probing gaze on her as well.

“That’s right! Seeing that bunch of roses makes me jealous! Anastasia, your boyfriend is so handsome. How could you dare to bring him to the company? Aren’t you afraid that someone will steal him away?” another female designer joked.

“Okay, I’ll talk to him.” Anastasia simply admitted that Nigel was her boyfriend since it would be more troublesome to explain otherwise anyway.

Elliot’s gaze became a little more complicated at that. Thinking of the time when Nigel and Anastasia had hugged each other at the airport, he remembered that the woman did not refuse the man’s advances either. Now, she was even openly admitting that Nigel was her boyfriend.

After the boring regular meeting was over, Elliot said with a sullen face, “Anastasia stays while the others may leave.”

Everyone in the room felt the surliness of the big boss, so they quickly rose and left for fear of being taken out upon by his anger.

Anastasia was also speechless. Why does he have such an ugly expression?

When the door of the meeting room was closed, he turned in his chair and an oppressive aura swept over her. Looking at her with cold eyes, he said, “You should be aware of my relationship with Nigel.”

She nodded. “I do. What’s wrong?”

Elliot’s face became uglier. “Remember that you owe me something?” He locked eyes with her deeply, exuding inexplicable danger.

Anastasia thought for a while, but couldn’t remember what she owed him, so she asked, “Do I owe you anything?”

“You’ve forgotten?” He flew into a rage all of a sudden because the woman had really forgotten.

“Give me a hint.” How could I have time to remember unimportant things?

The man stood up abruptly before clasping her wrist with his long arms. Pushing Anastasia’s waist against the table, he pressed down upon her with his body raging with hormones. As Anastasia instinctively leaned back, the man’s hand held the back of her head. Then, he pinched her chin and raised it coldly before his lips came to cover hers with a strong sense of fury.

And so, the kiss fell on the woman’s soft lips without any advance notice. It was domineering, rough, and full of aggression as if it was some kind of punishment.

Anastasia’s beautiful eyes widened in shock; she couldn’t believe that this man would do this to her in public.

His breath swept through her without her consent, causing her mind to go blank. As such, her first reaction was to be annoyed. She pushed him with all her strength and shouted, “Elliot, what are you doing?”

“Didn’t you ask me to remind you? This is what you owe me.” The man’s voice was hoarse, while his eyes were dark, and his words were full of mockery.

Taking a deep breath, Anastasia then lifted her hand and wiped her lips with disgust. When she thought that Hayley was in a relationship with this man, and that he had touched Hayley before kissing her, she felt extremely disgusted.

“Don’t kiss me!” Anastasia shouted angrily. “If you do this again, I will sue you.”

Elliot stared at her eyes; she was like a flaming rose. Her lips were incredibly soft, which made him unable to detach himself from her. It even reminded him of the touch of that night 5 years ago. In fact, it was indeed such a delicate feeling that made him go under. Why does this woman make me feel this way? She’s obviously a stranger.

An irritated Anastasia pushed open the door and left. This b*stard actually kissed me! How dare he?

Back in the office, she suddenly recalled the last time he was in the hospital. When he rescued her, she said she wanted to thank him, but he said she would owe him instead. So, was this kiss what she owed him?

Ugh. In the future, I can owe anything to anyone, but I can’t owe this man anything. It’s grave! He’s simply a beast.

Nigel had just finished playing a game when he saw his unhappy cousin walking in. “Elliot, what’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing.” Elliot sat down on the chair in a bad mood.

“Elliot, Bourgeois’ office is so modest that it doesn’t match your identity at all. Why don’t you return to the Presgrave Corporation office?”

“What do you care?” Elliot snorted lightly.

Nigel stared blankly at him. Elliot, are you in a bad mood? Who messed with you?

“What’s your relationship with Anastasia?” Elliot asked him all of a sudden.

Joy immediately flashed in Nigel’s eyes. “Well… You know! I like her, and I’m pursuing her!”

“Have you succeeded?” Elliot looked at the computer screen and asked again in a deep voice.

“It’ll be soon.” Nigel was extremely confident that he would definitely capture Anastasia’s heart when he launched a series of romantic attacks soon.

“Don’t send flowers to her in the company in the future; it will affect her work efficiency, and it will also make her colleagues have negative opinions of her,” Elliot commented.

Nigel was secretly surprised; how did Elliot receive the news of him sending flowers so soon?

“Elliot, give me a hand! How about using your power as her boss to give her a vacation and let me take her out to have fun? Or, if you arrange her office to be on the same floor as yours, it will be much more convenient for me to date her,” Nigel spoke with a naive smile.

“Impossible.” Elliot snorted coldly.

“You are the big boss! You have this power.” Nigel gritted his teeth and tried again.

Elliot raised his eyes icily. “You need to depend on your ability to pursue her; don’t expect me to help you.”

“You’re so mean.” Nigel huffed and continued to play his game. At this moment, a call came in and he answered, “Hello!”

“Young Master Nigel, are you booking a reservation at Cardi Restaurant?”

“Yes, Cardi.” Nigel confirmed and hung up the phone.

Elliot suddenly and unceremoniously drove him away. “If you want to play games, go to the lounge next door. Don’t disturb me at work.”

Nigel obediently rose to his full height and went to the next door.

Then, Elliot caressed his upper thin lip with slender fingers. The kiss in the meeting room earlier still lingered in his mind. Surprisingly, the soft touch made him very much wanting more.

At this moment, Rey knocked on the door and came in. “President Presgrave, where do you want to have lunch at noon?”

Elliot’s thin lips parted elegantly. “Cardi.”

“Very well. I’ll immediately reserve a place for you.” Rey withdrew from the room.

In Anastasia’s office, the woman was still annoyed because all of the ideas in her head had disappeared. All of this was caused by Elliot’s sudden kiss in the meeting room. When she thought that this man had kissed Hayley before, she felt uncomfortable in her heart. In the future, this kind of thing must never happen again.

At noon in the Cardi Restaurant, Anastasia and Nigel sat by the window. She was so hungry that she picked up the menu and started ordering thereafter. At this moment, the waiter ushered in another two guests.

She glanced curiously at them, and instantly, her beautiful eyes widened at the sight of the figures of Elliot and his assistant Rey coming over.

How could it be so coincidental?

Looking in the direction that she was looking, Nigel was also surprised. Then, Rey politely greeted him, “Young Master Nigel, good afternoon.”

“You… Why are you guys eating here too? Would you like to join us?” Nigel immediately rose to his full height and walked toward Elliot and Rey.

“No need. We have work to discuss.” Elliot refused and walked to his reserved table, but he chose to sit where he could face Anastasia’s way.

Nigel was also busy trying to please his love interest, so he immediately returned to his seat. As for Anastasia, she stared at the menu while cursing her bad luck in her heart. How unfortunate it is that I keep bumping into Elliot everywhere!

Raising her head, she abruptly glanced past Nigel and her gaze fell on the man at the table opposite holding a cup of tea.

Meeting those bottomless eyes, the light in Anastasia’s eyes turned cold. Thinking about what this man had done to her in the meeting earlier, she was even madder.
