Chapter 349 The Scandal
Since she had known in her sleep earlier that morning that he had sneaked onto her bed, she wasn’t
really surprised.
The winter sun shone in from the window, and it cast a warm and gentle feeling into the room. She
began to pull herself away lightly. Meanwhile, Elliot’s even breathing indicated that he was still in a deep
sleep.
It was rare to have such an opportunity for her to just stare at him and appreciate his looks. Hence, she
immediately grasped at the chance and took in the sight of his eyes and brows closely with her bright
eyes.
It was needless to say how handsome he was! All she could think of was how every edge and angle of
his facial features ticked all the boxes of her ideal aesthetic points. Elliot’s looks were flawless, and it was
the definition of a perfect face.
His face looked like it was delicately carved by a pair of skillful hands. Those thick and long eyelashes
gracefully grazed over his lower eyelids, and there was a pure child-like charm to his looks. However,
Anastasia knew that once those eyes were opened, they would glare with a burning force, like an
emperor.

aggression.
Little by little, her gaze drifted down. It swept across Elliot’s refined jawline, down to his sexy Adam’s
apple, and onto the honey-toned skin near his chest. She even caught a glimpse of his hunky chest
muscles. After noticing that, she hurriedly withdrew her gaze.
She knew that she had to stop staring. Otherwise, it would seem like she was committing a crime.
But there was no doubt that this man, even in his sleep, had a noble aura to him, which made people not
dare to approach him but would rather admire him from afar.
Following that, Anastasia couldn’t help but pull herself out of his arms and slip out of bed as gently as
possible. When she looked at the time, she was dismayed to have found out that it was already half-past
ten.
There’s no way I’m going to be able to make it to work. I’m still in Belros right now!
She wondered if she should inform Felicia. It didn’t mean that she could skip work as she liked just
because she was with Elliot, after all!
No matter what, she would still have to respect her boss! Upon making her decision, Anastasia picked up
her phone and walked out of the master bedroom to the balcony in the living room. When she glanced at
her phone, she was shocked. Why are there eight missed calls? Did something happen to Jared? She
quickly unlocked her phone and realized that two missed calls belonged to Felicia, three belonged to
Grace, two more belonged to her father, and one was from an unknown number.
What happened? Anastasia’s phone had never been so busy in the morning. She hadn’t picked up the
calls because she muted her phone last night to get more sleep in the morning.
She hadn’t expected to receive so many missed calls after having muted her phone for the first time in
forever.
When Anastasia scanned through the list, she saw Grace’s name on top, so she went on and gave her a
call first.
“Hey, Anastasia! You’re finally answering your phone.”
Anastasia listened to Grace’s voice. Instead of sounding anxious, it sounded rather excited instead.
Does she have exciting news that she can’t wait to share with me?
“I saw the missed calls, Grace. What happened?”
“Anastasia, I’m just happy for you! I didn’t expect your relationship with President Presgrave to be real.”
Upon hearing her words, Anastasia became dumbfounded. She grinned sheepishly and said, “What are
you talking about?”

shop!”
Anastasia was mindblown, and she blanked out for a few seconds before asking stupidly, “What cafe?
What was it that you saw?”
Her heart was filled with shame and guilt. Could it be that Grace accidentally saw me kissing Elliot in the
cafe last night?
“What? Anastasia, are you still unaware of the news surrounding you and President Presgrave all over
the internet?! The whole world knows that you guys are dating! The paparazzi took pictures of you and
President Presgave kissing in the cafe yesterday, and they’ve exposed your relationship!”
When those words struck her, Anastasia was so shocked that she couldn’t even hold her phone properly,
and her mind went blank. What? The paparazzi took pictures of us last night?
“I just woke up. Let me take a look first.” As soon as she finished speaking, she hung up on Grace and
quickly went online. At once, a headline that read, ‘Shocking! The Mysterious Girlfriend of Presgrave
Group’s President, Exposed’ popped up, and it was currently trending.
As soon as she saw that, she immediately clicked on the link with trembling hands. Her face blushed
shamefully, and her temperature rose. At the same time, her heart was pounding, and she was lost for
words as she covered her mouth in shock.
