At the Presgrave Residence, Elliot was back to pick his grandmother up. Because of her advanced age, he had to personally come and pick her up before settling her down at the hotel.
“Hey, Elliot! Why aren’t you wearing the watch I gave you? Do you not like my present?” Harriet saw Elliot’s watch in the car and she could not help but recall the one she had given him.
A smiling Elliot replied, “Okay, Grandma.
I’ll wear that watch tonight!” “That is your lucky watch. It has been
blessed by God and was bought according
to your zodiac sign!” she responded.
“Blessed by God?” This amused him.
“Of course! This watch brings good luck to you.”
“Alright then, I will wear it later.”
Meanwhile, at the hotel, there was not enough time for him to pick up. Anastasia because Elliot had picked Harriet up, so he asked for a motorcade to head over in
his stead. Coincidentally, Jared was at the hotel too, so he could take care of the place for the time being..
“You didn’t need to pick me up. It’s a hassle for you to come back and forth. I can take a cab by myself.” Anastasia told him.
“Oh, yeah. Anastasia, help me take a watch from the cabinet.” Elliot told her.”
“Sure! Which one?”
Elliot sent a picture to her. “Help me to search for it. It should be at the top.”
“Okay. Does this watch have any special meaning?” she asked curiously. After all, she knew that the watch he specified definitely had something to it.
“It was a gift from my grandmother.”
Anastasia felt a surge of joy, as she was a bit jealous, wondering which woman gave him that!
“Okay. I will bring it to you later,” she replied.
Applying perfect makeup, she paired it with her white diamond dress, which made her very elegant.
Anastasia then arrived at Elliot’s bedroom and entered his closet. Inside, there was a display glass for his watches. Under the lights, the watches radiated its uniqueness and showed off the man’s taste for the finer things in life.
Looking up, Anastasia could see the light emerald watch reflecting a motif of a wolf’s head upon taking it out.
She took it with her after making sure it was the same one as in the picture. Then, she placed it in her bag and went down to the motorcade that was waiting for her.
The twilight was prominent today, which signaled a very romantic night to come.
The three cars slowly left the villa, with Anastasia sitting in one of the luxurious cars’ back seats.
The hotel for the engagement was a seven star one in the middle of the city and it was one of the properties of the
Mansons. The exterior of the extravagant hotel was lined with festive lights, making the whole place look even grander.
One could somewhat see that on the inside of the black car sat an elegant woman that radiated her charisma outwardly.
As the car parked at the entrance, a man had stood there for quite a while in a stylish black suit and combed hair, accentuating his good looks. He could not help smiling upon seeing the car arrive.
The woman he had been anticipating finally arrived.
He personally opened the door to the sight of Anastasia staring back at him too. Witnessing the man’s charisma made her shy as she slowly looked away.
Nevertheless, one could blatantly see that the look in her eyes was full of love and care for the man.
Nigel, who was standing at the side, felt frustrated at the sight of this. Hmph, I’m also dressed to the nines today. Any
woman would be attracted to me, but why isn’t Anastasia sparing me a glance?
Never had he seen Anastasia look at a man with such a gaze. He had once hoped she would look upon him so, but now he understood that he was not worthy of it.
