“What are you afraid of? I’m not ashamed.” Elliot didn’t seem to mind and he wanted everyone to see it!
Anastasia simply allowed him to do what he wanted. After all, she had to admit that he was quite brazen.
“Are you tired? Would you like a massage from your husband?” he asked in a hushed tone.
“I’m fine! I enjoy working, she answered as she shifted her head to look at him with eyes that sparkled with enthusiasm.
Elliot was content when he saw how happy she was. Then, he acknowledged, “You can work for as long as you wish.. Just don’t exert yourself.”
Anastasia scrunched up her nose. playfully and replied, “I know, I know! Don’t worry about me.”
He then released her and took two steps back before checking her from head to toe.
She felt a little bashful when he observed her in this manner because it made her feel like he was admiring a piece of art. “What are you looking at?”
This made him grin before he said, “Your outfit is making me have wild thoughts.”
She immediately narrowed her gaze at him. “Do not try anything silly at the office.”
When Elliot heard this, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “Does this mean I can do whatever I want when we get home?”
Anastasia didn’t know what to say, so she gave him a shy, angry look, but she was still happy in her heart that he wanted her so much. Then, she said in a low voice, “We’ll see.”
“Did Mason look for you?” Elliot inquired as he drew a chair for himself and took a seat before he gracefully crossed his long and slender legs.
Only then did Anastasia realize the
reason for his visit. Was he jealous?
How could someone be so easily jealous?
“Yeah, we had a little chat,” she said
truthfully.
When he heard this, his eyes lit up with jealousy. “What did you two discuss?”
“He wanted my help to secure an endorsement contract for his sister. I agreed.”
Elliot blinked when he heard this. “I see.”
She was shocked by what she saw and her face blushed due to her being shy, which resulted in her fleeing the scene.
The scene inside the room was not appropriate for young folks!
Anastasia pushed the man away and Elliot left with a satisfied look..
When Grace returned, Anastasia smiled and puckered her lips. “Do not tell anyone what happened just now.”
Grace, of course, didn’t dare! However, it looked like she had changed her mind about Anastasia, who had become more gutsy.
“I won’t dare to. Don’t worry, President Tillman,” Grace answered thoughtfully.
At the hospital, Sophia walked out to get some fruits for her dad. She had just returned and was making her way toward the entrance of the ward when she heard her father’s anxious voice coming through the open door. “Please don’t tell Sophia anything about this. Do not land her in such stress.”
“The bank has been pressuring us daily, though. If you do not repay them, you will have no other option. We need to think of something!” Tiana sighed.
“We’ll see what it takes. If there’s nothing else I can do, I’ll just go to jail for two years,” Drake commented.
“You can’t do that. What should I do when you’re gone? The York Family was interested in our Sophia and is willing to pay off your debts. Why don’t we just let Sophia…”
