Room for You

Chapter 323

Chapter 323 Anastasia’s long locks were swept to one side as she glared into his ocean eyes. Her own eyes looked as though there were stars in them as they reflected the light on the room. She also looked like a red rose that had emerged from a bed of snow-despite how thorny she was, she was a beauty that no one could resist. Elliot’s mood began to fluctuate violently because he could feel how strong her jealousy was. “You are late, Elliot. Your punishment is to drink a glass.” Aliona immediately brought a glass of red wine in front of him, and she smiled sweetly as she propped her chin in her hands. “That is right! President Presgrave, you have to show us!” Alice was also fanning the flames. Without saying a word, he picked up the wine glass and elegantly drank its content in one gulp. The light shone on the buttons of his French cuff shirt as the dark gemstones flashed a deep blue color. In short, he was elegant, extravagant and fatally charming. Anastasia’s eyes were half-lidded as she gloomily brought her beer to her mouth. Everyone was watching the man across from her drinking as a punishment, but all she wanted to do was drink by herself. While remaining in the same pose as earlier, Aliona was looking at him with eyes full of admiration. Elliot, on the other hand, was enjoying the punishment in front of everyone.

The entire scene was an eyesore for Anastasia. Is my glass extremely small? Why is the glass empty after just a few sips? she thought grumpily. She could only pour herself another glass before bringing it to her lips again. Without Felicia noticing, half of Anastasia’s beer bottle had already been emptied. “Elliot, have something to eat!” After Aliona finished speaking, she reached over to place some food on his plate. The man, however, only responded in a low voice, “I will do it myself.” Aliona could feel her heart jolt upon hearing his cold words. She didn’t dare act casually with him after that. As Elliot took his fork to eat, his gaze shifted to the woman across from him who was moodily

downing one drink after another. Anastasia’s eyes were fixated on one spot, but her drinking never ceased oñce. At that sight, Elliot furrowed his eyebrows when he saw it and he reminded her, “Anastasia, don’t drink too much.” She deliberately picked up the glass full of beer and raised it in his direction before she gulped it at one go again. After she drank it, she clicked her tongue and he could tell from her gaze that she didn’t need him to worry about her. The man couldn’t help feeling helpless and angry at her because it seemed like she was drinking herself silly. “Aliona, you and President Presgrave must be having some sort of special relationship!” Alice brought it up to Aliona to start the conversation. She knew that these were the kinds of topics Aliona liked talking about. Just as Alice had expected, Aliona elegantly put down her glass and she smilingly boasted, “To tell you the truth, my dad and Elliot’s father have been good friends for years. We are family friends.” Everyone was surprised when they heard her words. None of them had expected her to come from such an influential background. For her to be the daughter of Elliot’s father’s good friend meant that Elliot and Aliona were definitely from the same status! May, who was sitting aside, quietly let out a relieved breath and was glad that she had not told Hayley about this. If not, May was sure that Aliona would come for her if she were to offend Aliona in some way. May knew that Hayley was one of the many of Elliot’s admirers, and that she had not secured the position as Mrs. Presgrave. Seems like Anastasia is out of luck as well even after everything that happened between her and the president, she thought. The joy in Aliona’s eyes only went up a few notches when she turned to look at Anastasia Even though Anastasia didn’t directly meet her gaze, she could feel how Aliona felt. now that Aliona had emerged as the winner. : “Miss Dora, let me pour you a drink.

don’t know from now on. I will make sure to help you if I can.” Alice took the chance to flatter Aliona. Aliona had indeed fancied this colleague of hers, so she said her thanks. “Miss Tillman,” Alice suddenly called out to make Anastasia’s presence known. She wanted everyone to look at Anastasia who looked like an abandoned wife. “What are you doing there drinking beer by yourself?” Anastasia suddenly shot up from the seat instead of answering Alice. “I am going to the washroom.” “I will go with you,” a worried Felicia offered after noticing that 2 beer bottles in front of her had already become empty. She was somewhat baffled by how she didn’t realize it when Anastasia had drunk so much by herself. Anastasia took wobbly steps and pushed her way into a private room along the corridor. The private room was empty because the place had been fully booked. Seeing how Anastasia weakly leaned against the door frame for support, Felicia quickly supported her and asked, “Are you okay?!”
