Room for You -
Chapter 5
“My grandma wants me to marry you, then take care of you and your
children for the rest of your life. Are you willing to marry me?” Elliot
said bluntly. Although he was talking about marriage, his gaze was
indifferent; it was like he was simply shouldering a responsibility.
Feeling suddenly amused, Anastasia fluffed her long hair and looked at
the man opposite. “Take a good look at me. Do I look like the type who
can never get married?” She was very beautiful. In fact, it was not an
overstatement to say that she was absolutely stunning. “Miss Tillman,
do you not want to marry me?” Elliot twitched the corner of his mouth
and silently breathed a sigh of relief. “Although you are powerful and
handsome, I don't care for you,” Anastasia replied very confidently.
Elliot's handsome face revealed a slightly startled expression. It seemed
that he was not attractive at all to this woman. Oh well, that is exactly
the result I wanted, anyway. As he wished, they were not attracted to
each other. “I hope you can visit my grandmother in person, Miss
Tillman.” After all, only this woman could deny his grandmother's
wishes because, in his heart, he was also responsible for another
woman. Anastasia pondered for a few seconds, then asked with
narrowed eyes, “You really have acquired QR International Group?”
“From now on, I'll be your boss, so don't worry. I'll take care of you.”
Elliot expressed that even though he couldn't marry her, he would take
care of her at work. Hearing that, Anastasia blinked. “Okay, let's do that
then! Goodbye, President Presgrave.” Elliot was startled again at her
words. Never before had a woman disregarded him so blatantly. Thus,
Elliot got up and left. After he did, Anastasia let out a small sigh.
Suddenly, Grace knocked on the door and asked, “Anastasia, what are
you talking about with President Presgrave? Does he like you very
much?” “Who said that?” “Everyone is saying that he has been staring at
you in the conference room,” Grace informed Anastasia with the current
juicy gossip. When Anastasia heard that, she was annoyed. It seemed
that Elliot was causing trouble for her at work. As a boss, he should be a
good boss. She would just work under him, and he should not appear
in front of her in the future. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling
window, Anastasia picked up the phone and called her father. “Hello!
May I know who it is?” A familiar voice came from the other end.
Anastasia's nose burned as she called out to the other side, “Dad, it's
me. I'm Anastasia.” “Anastasia? You... Where have you been in the past
five years? I couldn't find you.” Francis was pleasantly surprised. Now
that the father and daughter were connected, how could any hatred
last? Anastasia’s eyes filled with tears as she said, “Dad, I'm sorry. I have
lived abroad for all these years, and now I'm back to work in the
country.” “Okay, as long as you're back. When will you come home?” “I-
I'll go home in two days.” “Okay, as long as you are healthy and safe.
It's my fault. I shouldn't have driven you out.” “Let's forget about the
past.” Anastasia comforted him. She had gone through all the
hardships, and she didn't want to think about them anymore. “Okay,
come back home as soon as possible!” Francis sighed. Anastasia hung
up the phone and took a deep breath. Actually, she still didn't want to
go home yet. It was good enough as long as her father was healthy and
safe. At this time, Larry knocked on the door and came over with a box
in his hands. “Anastasia, I'm here to bring you something.” Anastasia
looked at the box he put on the table in surprise. “What is this?"
“Guess.” Anastasia looked at the box with the words “Cloud Residence
No. 1’ written on it. It was like the name of a building. “You better tell
me directly!” Anastasia smiled; she didn't want to guess. “Cloud
Residence No. 1 is a luxurious large condominium unit of 370 square
meters that is worth 120 million. It is a top property unit that is lavishly
renovated and decorated with luxurious decoration, and it is ready for
you to stay. You deserve it.” Larry finished speaking and opened the
box. There were six keys and a door card inside. Anastasia frowned. “Is
this for me?” “Anastasia, this is a special perk from President Presgrave.
He changed your residence to the Cloud Residence No. 1 unit. Aren't
you surprised and excited about it?” “Take it away; I don't need it.”
Anastasia refused coldly. She didn’t want to accept any favors from the
Presgrave Family at all. When her mother died, she had gone through a
very painful childhood. Her mother had died an honorable death, and
she had lost her closest loved one. Hearing her refusal, Larry was
dumbfounded for a few seconds. Did she just refuse such an amazing
perk? “Anastasia, you're not joking, are you? This is a perk that is only
for you!” Larry was 35 years old and single. He also fell in love at first
sight with Anastasia, who was young and beautiful, but he didn't expect
that Elliot had already gotten ahead first. “Tell President Presgrave that I
don't need special treatment in the company.” After Anastasia finished
speaking, she pushed the box toward Larry and repeated her words.
"Take it away.” “Don’t do this to me. How am I supposed to tell him?
Just accept it!” Larry could see that Elliot was interested in Anastasia.
However, Anastasia still said firmly, “Send it back. I really don't need it.
Thank you.” When Larry saw that she was serious, he had to take the
box away. At this moment, Elliot did not go back to work in his
company Dominion Corporation, but started working in the main office
of Bourgeois instead. “President Presgrave, Anastasia won't accept this
no matter what I said,” Larry reported helplessly. “Well.” Elliot's dark
eyes were cloudy. He had expected this, but it would be best if he could
repay his debt with material things so that he would not have to bind
himself to Anastasia by marriage. At the Tillman Residence, Francis had
just returned. He looked at his wife watching TV on the sofa, then
sighed happily and said, “Naomi, I received a call today. Guess who it
was?” “Who?” Naomi looked at him curiously. “It was Anastasia! She
had been living abroad for all these years. No wonder I had been
unable to contact her,” Francis said happily. He didn't realize that his
wife's expression had suddenly changed, and the resentment in her
eyes grew. “Why are you still thinking about her? She embarrassed you
in the past, so don't let her come back to this house.” “Naomi, I've been
thinking for some time, and I feel that she’s not that kind of person.
There must be a misunderstanding, and anyway, it has been so many
years since. Just let it pass!” “What misunderstanding? Erica
photographed her frequenting that kind of place in the middle of the
night. The evidence is solid.” Naomi really didn't expect Anastasia, who
had been driven out, to come back now. Did she notice our company’s
development and come back to compete for the family assets? Hmph! It
all belongs to my daughter. It will be over my dead body for Anastasia to
get her hands on it! Seeing that his wife was not happy, Francis said no
more and went upstairs, a little tired. Then, Naomi quickly picked up
her phone and dialed her daughter's number. “Hey! Mom.” “Erica, guess
who's back?” “Who?” “That little b*tch Anastasia contacted your dad
today. She's back.” “What? How can she even come back?" “She must
have taken a fancy to our family’s assets and wants to return for a piece
of the pie. With me here, she won't even get to lay a finger on it.”
Naomi snorted coldly, her face full of bitterness. “I was able to drive her
away five years ago, so even if she comes back, I can still drive her out
again.” Erica was also very confident about it.
