My Baby’s Daddy

Chapter 171

“Uh… Can I return it?”

“Fruits are non-returnable goods! Don’t worry, miss. We provide top-grade Musang King so it’s definitely

of good quality.” så

“I know that and I do trust that your goods are of good quality, but I don’t need that many.”

“Miss, I really can’t process a return for this. Fruits are non-returnable once sold!” On the other end, the

owner tried hard to express his keenness to complete the sale.

Meanwhile, Anastasia was at a loss for what to do. “Alright, then. I’ll make a phone call and get back to

you.”

As soon as Anastasia put down her cell phone, she instantly grabbed the landline and dialed the number

to the office of a specific man.

“Hello?” The man answered the phone in a low voice.

“Did you order me a truckload of Musang King durians?” Anastasia questioned him immediately.

“Yup. You mentioned that you wanted the freedom to have durians whenever you crave them, so I’ll help

you achieve this wish today. You can have as many of them as you want.” Elliot spoke up and implied

that the durians today were his treat.

However, Anastasia was quite speechless and she thought, Doesn’t he realize that one can’t have too

many durians? It’s fine to have some occasionally, but if too much is consumed in one day then there are

a lot of side effects that would occur subsequently. The milder symptoms would be a sore throat and as

for the worst-case scenario, one would even experience constipation!

“I think you should return it. I can’t finish that many. I just had one last night so I can’t have too many at a

time.”

“Why not?” On the other end, the man clearly knew nothing about durians. Although he was a

knowledgeable man, there were also some things that he was totally clueless

of.

“That’s because durians can cause sore throats. I can’t have too much.” Anastasia could only try her best

to explain, but the other side effect sounded slightly indecent so she

didn’t mention that.

“I never return any item that I’ve paid for. You can decide how you want to deal with it.”

“But… You…”

“I have a meeting to attend now.” After Elliot said that, he hung up on her.

Meanwhile, Anastasia had to return the call of the fruit store owner, yet the purchaser of the items

refused to pay heed to her words, so she was in a dilemma at the moment. In the end, she thought to

herself, I guess I’ll just treat everyone to durians, then.

Subsequently, she reached out and dialed Felicia’s number to explain the situation. On the other end of

the line, Felicia was elated. “This is a simple matter. I’ll arrange for everyone in the office to have one

each.”

“Okay. Please make the arrangements, then, but don’t say that this is my treat. Let them know that it’s

President Presgrave’s treat.”

Upon hearing that, Felicia burst into laughter. “Are you sure that you want to let them know it’s his treat?”

“Yes, just say that. I don’t want to take this credit,” Anastasia insisted.

“Sure! We’ll leave it at that, then.”

Ten minutes later, the fruit store owner happily distributed durians by the entrance of the office, and every

staff member of the company who walked past was given one. This went on and no one was left out until

every piece of fruit was gone.

After all that, Grace came back upstairs in good spirits and she held two durians in her hands. Anastasia

expressed her gratitude as Grace excitedly mentioned, “Anastasia, do you know who treated us to this?

It’s President Presgrave! It’s the Musang King variety too. Everyone’s so happy.”

At that moment, Anastasia tried to stifle her laughter. “That’s great! I’m quite happy too.”

After Grace had walked out of the room, Anastasia clutched at her stomach and placed her head on the

tabletop. She was consumed with uncontrollable laughter and she nearly fell to the ground. I wonder

what Elliot’s expression will be like if he finds out about this?!

Meanwhile, in the meeting room at the Presgrave Group, the room was solemnly silent as Elliot sat at the

head of the table. He gave out an air of dominance seen in a leader and under the illumination of the

projector lamp, he clearly gave out the feeling of a strong president.

The people in attendance today were all the upper management team of the Presgrave Group, and each

one of them was involved in running various large-scale projects all over the world. They had to report

back to Elliot on the progress of their projects daily and there was no room for any errors or omissions.

The Presgrave Group was involved in various financial schemes worldwide, so the company was, in fact,

much more than just a leading business in the country. After Elliot’s appointment as the president, he had

kept close control of the development of the company. He ended up leading the Presgrave Group toward

a much brighter future than ever.

Despite the Presgrave Group going through several financial crises, the giant corporation remained

strong and continued to sail through the waves of the corporate world.

The meeting ended at 11.30 AM and Elliot went back to his office after that. At that moment, Rey stood

by his side with pursed lips, and he looked as if he had something to report on.

Elliot glanced at him and questioned, “What’s wrong?”
