NovelEnglishChapter 151 “Please call Anastasia here too! | hope that she can be reminded of what the proper way to treat clients is,” Leah demanded in a condescending attitude, attempting to take advantage of her identity as their client to humiliate Anastasia.
After all, to a business, customers were God.
“Sure, please hold on for a minute,” Felicia responded, after which she exited the room and dialed Elliot's landline.
“Hello.” A low, husky, male voice rang.
“President Presgrave, Miss Hart has arrived. She’s now in Reception Room No. 3.” “Please get Anastasia over too,” Elliot instructed before he hung up the call.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFelicia thereafter gave Anastasia a call. The moment the call was picked up, she said, “Miss Hart is here. Please come over to Reception Room No. 3.” “I don't want to see her.” “Are you sure that you don’t want to watch the lovely show?” “What lovely show?” “You'll know when you are there,” Felicia mysteriously replied.
Well, there's no harm in watching how Leah plans to slander me when I'm so bored now! Anastasia thought. So, holding her phone in her hand, she rose up and headed over to Reception Room No.
She knocked on the door once before pushing the door open to enter the room. However, all she saw was two ladies sitting on the couch; Felicia was nowhere to be seen.
“Was the coffee good?” Leah mocked while the corner of her lips curled upward.
“No, | threw it away,” Anastasia replied as she took a seat on the couch beside Leah. At this moment, the door was pushed open from outside.
Felicia was seen standing at the door as she said to the man behind her, “President Presgrave, this way.” Leah and her female companion both raised their heads in astonishment, only to see a dashing, slender figure walking into the room. At one glance, they were able to recognize the identity of that man-Elliot Presgrave, the president of Presgrave Corporation.
“Mr. Presgrave, it's such a pleasant surprise to see you here.” Leah immediately feigned politeness and greeted him with a smile.
“Hello, Mr. Presgrave.” Her companion’s eyes were filled with excitement and admiration as well.
They never thought that they would actually bump into the man that they rarely had the chance to meet. They were determined to put on their best behaviors to leave a deep impression on him.
Elliot sat down on the couch. Beneath his thick lashes were deep, unfathomable eyes that seemed to contain an air of dominance.
“Miss Hart, please apologize to my employee, Anastasia Tillman,” he snarled, glaring at Leah with a piercing gaze.
A stunned Leah immediately responded, “Mr. Presgrave, perhaps you are unaware of the situation. The thing is, it was your employee who first breached the agreement, so she should be the one apologizing to me.” “Considering the relationship between my aunt and your parents, I'm willing to let things slide as long as you apologize to her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOtherwise, your reputation will be tainted if we were to go through the legal process,” Elliot coldly refuted.
She was astounded to hear that. Why would Elliot stand up for a mere insignificant employee like Anastasia? Anastasia, who was watching from the sideline, finally understood what Felicia had meant by ‘lovely show’. She turned to the man in front of her, who was emanating an intimidating presence. In fact, he didn’t even dart a glance at her, yet he was upholding her interest.
“Mr. Presgrave, II have no idea what | did wrong, so why should | apologize?” Leah, of course, refused to back down and apologize, especially when the other party was Anastasia, her love rival.
“Firstly, you oppressed my employee at work; then, you took advantage of the situation to blackmail our company for liquidated damages; lastly, your actions have greatly affected my employee's morale.” Leah was dumbfounded. She admitted the first two claims that Elliot had made, but how could she be responsible for the third claim? “I-I- didn’t! As a matter of fact, | have no plans in demanding compensation. After all, | genuinely wanted to customize a set of jewelry. How about | have a talk with your main person in-charge to get me another designer?” When she finally realized how serious the matter was, she tried to salvage the situation.
“Miss Hart, | think you still don’t get what | meant. First of all, | need you to make an apology. Next, our company will never accept any orders from you again.” Elliot forcefully demanded an apology without giving her a chance to back down.
Meanwhile, Anastasia stood at one side with her arms folded across her chest, waiting for Leah’s apology.
“Miss Hart, it's better to think of the consequences before you bully others. For instance, it's unwise to order a coffee that costs over 5,000 on my behalf without my consent and then ask me to pay for the bill. After all, you don’t know my taste and preference, so you gave me no choice but to throw away that cup of fine coffee.” Anastasia seized the opportunity to expose another evil deed that Leah had committed.
