Chapter 155
At that moment, Rey knocked on the door from outside and reported, “President Presgrave, Miss Seymour is here.”
A frown appeared between Elliot’s brows when he heard that. “Let her in.”
Thereafter, Hayley came in, flashing a charming smile at him as she sweetly announced, “Elliot, I’ve brought you some refreshments.”
As a matter of fact, she specially came at that time as she had planned to invite Elliot out for dinner.
“Please don’t give me all these again. I don’t like desserts,” Elliot muttered as he leaned his back against the chair. The white shirt on him made him seem like a celibate, and he looked languid and charming at the moment.
Hayley’s heart started to race at that. No woman could resist such a dazzling and elegant man.
And so, she walked toward Elliot step by step. Anastasia will be arriving at any moment now, Hayley thought to herself, as she had been keeping track of the time.
Currently, Anastasia, who had been informed by May to go to Elliot’s office, did not suspect anything and was on her way upstairs. She merely wondered to herself the reason the man wished to see her. Could it be that he is going to use work as an excuse to scold me? she pondered.
Meanwhile, Hayley, who had arrived by Elliot’s side, suddenly held her forehead and hissed.

“What’s wrong?” Elliot rose up and examined her.
Just then, Hayley seemed to hear the sound of a lady’s high heels tapping on the floor, and coupled with the fact that it was almost the time that she had expected, she pretended to scowl in pain. The very next second, she fell into Elliot’s embrace.
He supported her with his long arms, so she took the opportunity to wrap her arms around his waist. “Elliot, I feel so dizzy…”
“Let me help you to the couch so that you can rest.” He attempted to keep his distance from her, but she tightened her arms around him and refused to let go. Then, she raised her head with her eyes shut and mumbled, “Elliot, is there something in my eye? Could you check it for me? It hurts!”
Upon hearing that, Elliot narrowed his eyes and leaned in to take a look.
At that moment, the door of the president’s office flung open. Anastasia didn’t knock the door before she opened it, as she thought that Elliot would be waiting to have a word with her.
As soon as the door was opened, what came into view was a man and a woman intimately hugging each other. Elliot leaned in at Hayley’s face, while the latter raised her head with her eyes shut, as if she was eagerly waiting for the man’s kiss.
Anastasia’s eyes widened. In the end, she stared at them for a couple of seconds before she calmly
said, “Sorry for intruding. Please carry on.”
With that, she turned on her heel and slammed the door behind her before she left.
All that had happened in mere seconds, and it was so fast that Elliot didn’t manage to return to his senses. When he finally made sense of the situation, he immediately released his grip on Hayley’s shoulder. Forcefully removing her arms that were around his waist, he urgently declared to her, “I’ll get Rey to send you to the hospital.”
Thereafter, Elliot pushed her away from him. It wasn’t a hard push, in fact, but Hayley went along with the force and deliberately fell and slumped on the floor.
“Ah!” she shrieked.
Elliot, who had barely arrived at the door with large strides, looked behind and saw that Hayley had fallen. He clenched his fists, but he still turned back to help her up.
“Are you alright?”
