Room for You

Chapter 109
Does she think I won’t go just because she didn’t invite me to it? Well, that makes me want to go even more. “Great. From now on, I want you to tell me everything about Elliot. Also, I want you to keep an eye on Anastasia. If she has any intimate interactions with Elliot, I need you to tell me immediately.”
Daniel held a relatively important position in the company, although he wasn’t as powerful as Elliot’s head assistant, Timothy. Regardless, Daniel still had access to most of Elliot’s daily schedules. After Daniel left, Hayley still felt too furious to go to bed. What does Old Madam Presgrave mean by this? Is she looking down on me? Does she want me to stay away from Elliot? Hayley was especially furious because of the unfair treatment .
The next morning, Anastasia rushed to her office after sending Jared to school. Today was a day she had been looking forward to. When she arrived at the office, Grace opened the door and came over to give Anastasia some words of comfort. “Don’t mind all the nonsense that they say about you, Anastasia. I trust that you and President Presgrave are innocent.” Anastasia could no longer be bothered by these things-she felt that there was no point in clarifying such matters, and that she shouldn’t be living her life based on others’ comments.
It was about 10.00AM when Anastasia’s landline rang. “Hello?” She picked the call up.
The rest of the staff members from the design department were already there, but Felicia had yet to arrive. Alice shot Anastasia a cold glare as Anastasia sat down opposite her. Anastasia merely cast her an uninterested glance.
“I wonder if it’s Alice or Anastasia who won the prize! I’m so excited! That’s 1 million worth of cash right there.” One of the junior designers made the atmosphere tenser on purpose.
“We’ll find out once the director arrives,” another person replied. Right then, Felicia walked into the room and glanced at the two competitors before taking a seat at the table. “The sponsored meal that you guys have been waiting for has been approved. Would you guys like to eat together tonight?”
“Of course! We’d love a feast, Director Evans,” someone cried. Both Alice and Anastasia exchanged glances. Judging by the look on Felicia’s face, they could tell that someone in the company must have won a prize. The winner had to be one of them.
A look of jealousy flashed in Alice’s gaze. It’s obvious. It has to be Anastasia. “Alright! Let’s organize dinner for tonight! Well, I’m going to proceed with announcing the winners and the prizes that they will receive. Firstly, I’d like to congratulate the champion of this jewelry design competition
-Anastasia! You’ve won a total of 1 million!”
Anastasia heard a loud ringing sound in her ears before Felicia even finished her sentence. Me? Am I the winner? Does the 1 million belong to me? Her heart was filled with joy at that moment-she had finally gotten the money she needed for her son.
Felicia turned to Alice before she continued speaking. “The company decided to also provide some rewards to those who were selected, so Alice gets 20,000 as a consolation prize.” Alice curled her lips up into a sarcastic smile. A consolation prize, huh? What a joke.
