The Girl Bumped to Him Is Pregnant novel (Anastasia)

Chapter 164

Felicia smiled and left without saying another word. However, she had a strong hunch that the roses came from their big boss from upstairs.

The meeting was scheduled for 2.30 PM and Felicia sent an email to Elliot’s mailbox to inform him. It was up to him whether he turned up or not, but Felicia sure hoped that he would attend it. After all, the proposal for the snack area had been put on hold for quite some time now, so a lot of their staff were in fact quite looking forward to that.

As soon as Anastasia received Grace’s reminder about the upcoming meeting, she quickly tidied up the drafts she was working on and took her cell phone with her as she headed toward the direction of the meeting room.

Meanwhile, Anastasia realized upon walking in that everyone in the meeting room seemed to be addressing her in a very pleasant manner.

“Miss Tillman, thanks for the roses. I heard that it costs at least two hundred to buy a stalk of that!”

“Yeah! The rose can last for at least fifteen days too. The flowering period is so long!”

At that moment, Anastasia revealed a slight smile before pulling out a chair to take a seat. Suddenly, everyone focused their attention behind her. Elliot had arrived exactly on the dot.

Swiftly, Anastasia turned her head to glance at him before quickly shifting her eyes in the other direction. She intentionally kept a distance from him in the office as she wanted to avoid being involved in any rumors with him.

“Alright, enough with the chatter, guys. It’s time to start the meeting!” Felicia instructed her subordinates to stop their discussion.

Firstly, Felicia made a few announcements regarding some work and then she also reported on the situation recently with the manuscript submissions. She also talked about the situation with the market analysis she had found out.

ALL THE

Meanwhile, Anastasia sat by Elliot’s side and her thoughts ran wild as she sat there. For example, she recalled the incident with his gastritis last night and also the kiss they shared in her bed. Furthermore, she thought of the flowers from this morning

too.

“Anastasia… Ahem! Anastasia…” Felicia tried to get Anastasia’s attention once again.

Right away, Anastasia came to her senses and lifted her head to glance at Felicia with a slightly confused look.

Just then, Alice, who was seated across from Anastasia, was quite annoyed, so the former took the opportunity to deliver a scathing remark. “Miss Tillman, you seem to be quite preoccupied each time we have a meeting. This is rather disrespectful of you!”

Anastasia’s face turned slightly flushed when she heard that. She was quite embarrassed as she recalled what she had been thinking of earlier.

“Forgive me. I was too preoccupied thinking about work-related matters,” Anastasia apologized.

By then, everyone in the meeting room had turned to glance at Elliot, who was seated next to her, and each of them wondered how he would react to knowing that his staff was daydreaming during a

meeting.

However, they were stunned to see Elliot’s expression. Right now, he was looking at Anastasia with a doting gaze that held a hint of amusement.

“Anastasia, we were just talking about the introduction of a tea break area. What do you think about that?” Felicia chose that moment to bring up this topic.

Instantly, Anastasia recollected herself. “Uh… I think that we should switch to a different dessert shop. I’ve heard of a very popular place and I think it would be awesome if we could arrange for that company to prepare the pastries for our tea break.”

“Oh—could you share the name of the place?” Felicia immediately asked.

“It’s a patisserie located in town and the name of the place is Belle’s Patisserie. I’ve been there plenty of times with my son and the pastries taste very good. The ingredients that they use are very fresh too.”

With a torn expression, Felicia muttered, “But as far as I know, the prices of pastries from this place are on the higher end and we do have a budget restraint. Well…”

“Then let’s just make arrangements for this shop to join our company.” Suddenly, a low yet dominating male voice rang out.

At that instance, Felicia turned to glance at Anastasia, and there was an approving

look that flashed across the former’s eyes. Indeed, this plan worked and Elliot is agreeing Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

to it!

Meanwhile, Anastasia was quite shocked when she heard that. How can he just agree to it so easily?!

On the opposite end, Alice shot Anastasia a jealous look as she thought to herself, Anastasia is treated so favorably in the company; even President Presgrave gives in to her whims.

“You guys continue with the meeting.” Elliot glanced at his watch and looked at the time. “I’ve got something else on, so I’ll head off now.”

After he left the room, everyone in the meeting room heaved a sigh of relief and the first thing that they obviously did was to thank Anastasia for suggesting the new patisserie, thus successfully obtaining such great staff benefits for them.

Anastasia had merely mentioned it in passing, so she actually didn’t expect that Elliot would agree to her suggestion just like that.

Right after Elliot walked out of the meeting room, he suddenly heard two female staff chatting to each other excitedly by the end of the corridor.

“The flowers were given to us by a designer. The roses are very beautiful! It’s a shame that you weren’t here earlier so you missed the chance.”
