Chapter 112 – Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel

Filed to story: Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel >>

Anastasia’s past made it hard for her to be with any guy as her heart was protected by an invincible shield. Although his grandmother had told him to give up on her, he had just realized that it was too late at this point. He had fallen in too deep, and he couldn’t tear himself away from this woman anymore.

After that, Anastasia headed downstairs to meet Felicia. She told Felicia everything about the reward, but Felicia didn’t seem too impressed. Is she an idiot? Felicia thought. Why would she want to let all of this go? Even if Elliot was the one who had gotten her this trophy and money, she should just appreciate her luck.

“No. I don’t want this money, and I don’t want the trophy either,” Anastasia insisted.

“If you do this, your reputation will be ruined as well. Everyone will know about how you relied on connections to get your prize. Are you sure you want to sacrifice your reputation for this?” Felicia asked.

“Do I have a choice? The whole judge panel knows about this, and I feel like a joke to all of them. I’d rather they laugh at me for one month than for the rest of my life,” she explained. Felicia didn’t know what else to do, so she let out a sigh. “You’re the most stubborn person I know. Sure, I’ll gladly hand the trophy to someone else. I’ll get this done for you!”

“Thank you, Felicia,” Anastasia uttered happily. After Anastasia returned to the office, she felt like she had just come back from war. Her entire body was sore. She sipped on some water and zoned out for a while. Right then, she noticed someone sending flowers to the front entrance of the office. Soon enough, Grace pushed the office door open with a smile on her face. “The flowers are for you, Anastasia.”

Anastasia didn’t need to think to know who had sent her the flowers. She eyed the relatively pricey blue roses as she felt a headache forming. She had no choice but to take them in. After bringing the flowers to her desk, she gave Nigel a call. “Hey! Did you get the flowers? Do you like them?” Nigel asked with a smile.

“Stop sending me flowers, Nigel. I’m serious. It affects my work.” Anastasia didn’t want to attract too much attention to herself.

“Can’t I give you flowers?” He sounded rather hurt.

“We can keep in contact, and we can have meals together, but I just don’t want you to send flowers, okay? It’s a request,” she replied.

“Deal. I’ll buy you lunch today, then. I’m at the building opposite your company. I just started renovating my office,” Nigel explained with a smile.

“Fine! Let me buy this meal.” Anastasia was speechless. “Okay. I’ll see you later,” he replied.

By 11.30AM, Nigel was already waiting by her company’s front door. When he was there, a black car came to a halt in front of him, and Rey walked past him with a stack of folders in his arms. Rey walked over to greet Nigel when he saw Nigel’s car.

“Good afternoon, Young Master Nigel,” Rey greeted.

Nigel smiled. “Are you here to drop off some documents?” he asked.

“Yeah! President Presgrave is working here,” Rey replied.

“My cousin has a huge office, yet he insists on working in your company. I wonder why…?” Nigel asked in a thoughtful tone.

Rey pushed his glasses up while smiling. “I don’t know the actual reason for this.”

“Cool. You should go ahead, then. I’ll be here waiting for my girlfriend to have lunch with me.” The two men waved goodbye. Rey had just walked into the office lobby when he saw Anastasia heading out with her bag. “Are you going for lunch, Miss Tillman?”

“Yeah!” She beamed at Rey.

Rey took the elevator up to the eighth floor. When he saw Elliot sitting by the desk, he told Elliot about what he saw. “I bumped into Young Master Nigel downstairs, President Presgrave. He came over to bring Miss Tillman out for lunch.”

Elliot had been signing some papers, but one of his strokes turned crooked after he heard his assistant’s words. He frowned as he completed his signature.

After Nigel and Anastasia got to the restaurant, Nigel told her about the renovation that was going on in his office. “I prepared a space for you, Anastasia. In the future, you can always go over to my office if you need some inspiration at work. I’ll make sure that the design of the place is really trendy and aesthetic,” he said.

Anastasia nearly spat her tea out of her mouth. She looked up and stared at him with a rather helpless expression on her face. “Why did you prepare a room for me?” she cried.

“If you no longer want to be a designer in the future, you can just work with me. I’ll give you a high-paying job.” Nigel was already planning for the future.

“Are you trying to headhunt me now? Designing is the only type of work I’m capable of. I don’t know how to do anything else.”

“That’s no big deal. I just acquired a jewelry store, so you can always work there.” Nigel looked her in the eye for a moment before his eyes lit up. “That’s right! Why didn’t I think of that earlier?”

“Stop being so stubborn, Young Master Nigel. I don’t think we’ll even be able to remain as friends if you continue acting like this. I just want us to be friends—I don’t want you to give me anything else.” For the rest of their meal, Nigel continued to find ways to convince Anastasia to work at his company, and she got really frustrated by the end of it. After lunch, Anastasia got back to her office just in time to have Alice barge into her room with a cold smirk on her face. “I heard you returned your trophy. The entire company knows how you won the competition now. Don’t you feel ashamed to continue staying here?”

Anastasia looked up at her. “You were the one who got someone to call me this morning, right?”

Alice hadn’t expected Anastasia to be smart enough to realize this, but Alice didn’t bother to hide anything. “Ah, this world is truly filled with people lacking both skill and intellect!” Alice let out a hearty laugh.
