Anastasia sent him to the elevator. “Drive safe,” she uttered.
He turned around to give her another stern reminder. “Promise me that you won’t bring other men home, okay, Anastasia?” For the sake of reassuring him, she gave him a firm nod. “Okay, okay. I know you care for me. I’ll take note of what you said.”
Once he got into the elevator, she heaved a sigh of relief before returning home to give Jared a bath. She read a book with him before she went to shower. When she came out of the shower, she heard her phone ringing, and she rushed over to see Elliot’s name on her screen.
“Hello?” She picked up the call.
“Are you home?” The man’s voice was deep and thick, which made Anastasia’s ear tingle. She knew that it was wrong for her to have stood him up, but she didn’t have much of a choice. It’s not my fault that Nigel showed up all of a sudden, right?
“It’s nearly 10.00PM. Of course I’m at home,” she replied.
“What’s going on between you and Nigel?” The man’s voice carried a hint of distaste as he questioned her. “We’re more than good friends,” she replied.
“I told you not to fool around with his feelings. If you don’t want to get married to him, then you shouldn’t give him hope.” The man gave her a stern warning.
Anastasia felt like he was too much of a busybody, so she rolled her eyes. “What’s wrong with us being friends? Furthermore, you are in no position to warn me about my relationship with Nigel. What are you going to do if I fall for him and decide to marry him?”
“Do you want me to tell him about how you forcefully kissed me twice?” The man’s voice sounded extremely sinister all of a sudden. She was taken aback by his words, and she immediately let out a cry. “Don’t talk nonsense, Elliot!”
“What? Does he know about how the lines are blurred between us?” he asked.
“There are no blurred lines between us. Things are clear between you and I—there’s nothing going on between us at all,” she replied with a determined look in her eyes.
“You owe me dinner. You have to make up for this in the future.” The man scoffed before ending the call. Anastasia held onto her phone and gritted her teeth in anger. How can there be a man as annoying as him? He’s really sticking his nose into all aspects of my life.
Anastasia lay on her bed for a while, but she couldn’t seem to fall asleep as she knew that the prizes would be revealed the next day. Furthermore, there was going to be an award ceremony at 3.00PM. If she won a prize, she wouldn’t just get the trophy; she would also win a cash prize of 1 million. Anastasia needed the money, so she naturally hoped to be the lucky winner. Such thoughts made it hard for her to fall asleep.
Meanwhile, Hayley was also losing sleep in her luxurious villa. Ever since she took up her fake identity of being Anastasia, she had been enjoying her life as a rich girl. However, she still felt empty with just materialistic pleasures—she didn’t have the relationships she desired. She desperately wanted her relationship with Elliot to blossom. Ideally, she’d be able to get physical with him.
If Hayley got another child, she would be able to better secure her position as Mrs. Presgrave. But how am I supposed to get Elliot into bed with me? Even though he’s nice to me, he has never given me the chance to get close to him. If I didn’t initiate hugs with him the past few times, he would have never been the first to hug me. Ultimately, Anastasia’s the only one he approaches willingly. Ever since they slept together five years ago, he has been searching for her. It’s obvious that he fell for her the first time their bodies touched. I have to find a way to get Elliot drunk so that I can get my chance. Maybe I should bribe one of the people around him to help me with this. But would any of them listen to my orders?
A cold look flashed in her gaze. She had done all sorts of things in the past, and she had dated a few men, so she was far from being a pure, chaste woman. Elliot had a male assistant, Daniel, who had delivered items to her in the past. This male assistant was an educated man who had good looks and a well-built figure—he was much more qualified to be her boyfriend than all her previous boyfriends.
Hayley’s ultimate goal wasn’t just to conquer Elliot’s heart, but also to own the entire Presgrave Corporation. So, she was willing to take all sorts of risks just to achieve this. After taking a glance at the time, she gave Daniel a call.
“Hello, Miss Seymour.” Daniel sounded rather surprised to receive her call.
“Are you free to come over, Mr. Lancaster? There’s a huge rat in my house, and I’m a little scared,” she lied.
“What? Okay. I’ll come over right now.” It was Daniel’s duty to fulfill all of Elliot’s orders, and taking care of Hayley was one of his jobs. He arrived at her house 30 minutes later, and Hayley already had a sexy nightgown on under her shirt. When Daniel saw how Hayley looked, he twisted his expression into one of panic. Hayley told him to check the master bedroom, and he walked in obediently while Hayley stepped aside to get him a glass of water.
Daniel gulped down the whole glass as he was thirsty from all the nervousness that he felt. After he was finished with the water, he felt like his whole body was on fire. When Hayley leaned forward to hug him, he was afraid for a few seconds, but he allowed her to take over him just moments later. They had a heated session in Hayley’s master bedroom.
