Room for You

Chapter 98
After the meeting ended, Alice suddenly stopped Anastasia. “Anastasia, let’s compete fairly if you have the skills. If you win the prize just because of your connections, you’re barely worth my time.”
Anastasia didn’t know where Alice was coming from. Why is Alice saying such things to me, anyway? Since we’re both rivals, and Alice was rude to me first, I have every right to defend myself.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’ve always gotten by with my skills.”
“Hah!” Alice snorted and left.
At around 11 am, Anastasia took a deep breath and made a call to the president’s office.
“Hello.” Elliot’s exclusively alluring voice rang out.
“Anastasia here. Would you have time for lunch together at noon, President Presgrave?” she asked.
“Sure! I’ll make the reservations,” Elliot answered.
“I know a place with good food. Why not,” Anastasia attempted to save her wallet.
“Why? Not willing to splurge on me?” the man questioned her mockingly before she finished her sentence.
“Of course not. Never mind, you can make the reservations,” Anastasia replied boldly.
The call ended, and she couldn’t help but let out a sigh. Since Elliot wanted to break her bank with food, she would have to allow it. She decided to go all out, since he had saved her last night after all. It was almost half-past eleven when Anastasia received a private message from Elliot. ‘See you in the parking lot in 10 minutes.’
Anastasia replied with a ‘ok.
– She took her bag and went out, heading directly toward the elevator. After she got in,
she pressed the button that would take her to the second basement, where the VIP
car park was.
When Anastasia emerged, she didn’t notice a gray sports car at the side that had just pulled up. Inside, a man was about to get out of the car when he spotted her and stared at her through the window in disbelief.
Then, the man watched as she opened the door of a Rolls-Royce and got in.
That’s Elliot’s private car. That’s my cousin’s car. Nigel’s eyes went wide, quite unable to believe that Anastasia had canceled her date with him, only to go on a date with his cousin.
Where are they going?
Unable to keep his curiosity in check, Nigel started his car and tailed Elliot’s car right away. As Anastasia sat in Elliot’s car, she wondered which restaurant this man was taking her to.
This city was full of private kitchens that boasted premium ingredients, and a single meal could cost 10 thousand or even up to 100 thousand. This might be the normal price of a meal for a man of Elliot’s stature, but for common folks like her, it was an unbelievable number.
