Chapter 152
At that point, Leah was cracking her head to figure out a way to obtain Elliot’s forgiveness. Therefore, when Anastasia suddenly added fuel to the fire, she couldn’t help but secretly glare at Anastasia.
On the other hand, when Elliot heard Anastasia’s words, the expression on his face became colder, which made Leah even more anxious.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Presgrave. It wasn’t intentional. I thought that Miss Tillman would fancy that coffee.” Leah tried hard to save her own image. After all, Elliot was Nigel’s cousin, so she couldn’t afford to ruin her image in front of Elliot!
Upon hearing that, Anastasia revealed a smile. “Miss Hart, how about this-I’m willing to let this slide as long as you apologize to me and return the money for the coffee to me.”
Leah was really reluctant to accept her offer, but she was aware that Anastasia’s suggestion could help her out of this embarrassing situation. Hence, she had no choice but to suppress her rage and nodded. “Alright, I’ll apologize to you. Just forget about the compensation and I’ll give you the money for the coffee.”
Upon seeing that Anastasia had named her conditions, Elliot remained quiet and didn’t raise any objections. Anastasia was seen taking out her phone and tapping on her phone to open the QR code that allowed her to receive payment. Then, Leah quickly used her phone to scan the code and transfer the 5,888.
At the same time, she inhaled a deep breath and said, “Miss Tillman, I’m sorry. Please forgive my impoliteness.”

Anastasia took her phone and confirmed that she had received the money before replying without raising her head. “Okay, I forgive you.”
When the man saw the woman eagerly checking the transfer with her head bowed, the coldness in his eyes was replaced by a hint of affectionate smile. Her eyes are basically glued to the money.
“Mr. Presgrave, I’m sorry to have taken up your precious time. I have something else to attend to. I shall take my leave.” Leah tugged her female companion beside her. They quickly pulled the door open and fled the room for fear that they might offend the man if they were to stay for another second.
Anastasia took her phone and gratefully glanced at that man. “President Presgrave, thank you for standing up for me.”
“Add another dish tonight.” He raised his eyebrow at her, gesturing at her that he preferred her to show her gratitude through actions.
She suppressed her laughter and said while standing at the door, “Sure. How about two extra dishes? Will that be enough, President Presgrave?” Her words ended with a long tone, but she totally had no idea that it actually sounded especially enticing when she called his name like that. It resembled a feather that gently brushed across his heart.
Elliot’s heart skipped a beat, after which he replied with raised brows, “Don’t forget to cook more
rice.”
“Sure!” Anastasia, who was embarrassed to talk about this topic in the office, immediately pulled the door open and left.
Although she had been pissed that day, the whole incident ended in a way that alleviated her anger.
By that point, Leah, who had returned to her car, was so enraged that she slammed the steering wheel while her female companion sitting next to her had a look of displeasure. “I wonder what Anastasia did that allowed her to get Elliot to stand up for him.”
“I’ll definitely find a chance to get my revenge on her for the humiliation that I’ve endured today.” Leah was so mad that she nearly fainted.
