Cathryn hastily apologized, “I’m sorry. President Presgrave. I didn’t see you there. This is all my fault!” She then reached out and patted his arm. “I hope I didn’t hurt you!”
Elliot waved his hand and answered, “It’s fine.”
“Oh, sorry about the lipstick stain on your suit. Let me take care of it.” Rather than removing the stain off his arm, she tried to reach out to stroke his chest after saying that.
His arm prevented her attempt right away, need.” and he said in an icy tone, “No
Cathryn let out a frustrated sigh as soon as Elliot walked away. She saw this as an opportunity to stimulate his interest in her. No one could approach him because he behaved in a way that was true with what she had heard about him.
Why was he married if he didn’t like women?
Right after Cathryn left, Felica came out from around the corner. She had just come out from the bathroom when she saw this scene, and she thought it would. taint her sight for the day.
She wasn’t often the kind to pry into other people’s business, but she felt it was necessary to alert Anastasia about this. If an actress went out of her way to try to seduce Elliot, then she was not the best choice to represent Bourgeois as a spokesperson.
Anastasia’s phone lit up with texts. She checked it and saw it was a text message from Felicia.
‘I just saw Cathryn trying to flirt with your husband in the hallway, Anastasia. You should take note.’
She read the text calmly and her eyes went to where Cathryn should have been. There was no one there.
“Thank you, Felicia,’ Anastasia replied graciously. At this moment, Elliot had returned and his large hand went out to grasp hers with the intention to caress it.
She then raised her head to meet his gaze. Despite the dim lighting, the man’s eyes gleamed with affection. When she noticed this, she smiled sweetly and kissed his cheek, showing her affection in public.
Cathryn happened to see their affections as she was going back to her seat. She started to feel a little scared as she thought about the foolish thing she had just done. She was worried that Anastasia wouldn’t let her off the hook if she knew about the flirting earlier.
She was glad Anastasia didn’t know about it.
Who would know what Anastasia knew.
though?
When Elliot saw just how bold she was to kiss him in public like this, he gave her a contented smile that made her heart flutter.
Her face started to blush as she felt the gazes of everyone on them. Her confession of love for this man was publicized.
This was a warning for anyone who wanted to take him away from her.
The press conference went smoothly while the online media reaction was spectacular. A great deal of support and encouragement was shown to them with some exceptional items being promoted as well…
After they left the conference, Elliot took her to a posh restaurant for dinner. Tonight was the night of their date.
In addition to that, he had another surprise in store for her. He was pleased to get the most beautiful brooch that was being offered at the event, and he planned to give it to her as a present tonight.
“Oh! When did you get this?” Anastasia was a little surprised, but she was excited that he had just given her something out of the blue.
“It looks good on you,” he told her, praising both the brooch and her.
Anastasia took the gift as Elliot placed his chin on his folded palms and looked at
her affectionately. “Since you accepted my gift, Mrs Presgrave has to reward me tonight.”.
“Oh! So, there’s a secret motive here!” Anastasia’s eyes narrowed as she said, “I think I need to pay closer attention to what’s going on around me. I can’t always be fooled by you.”
Elliot kept looking at her with love in his eyes and told her, “I wouldn’t care how stupid you are because you still have me wrapped around your fingers.”
Was he calling her stupid?
She protested, “I’m not stupid. I’m actually quite clever.”
“You are correct. My wife is the most clever woman alive,” he said as his grin grew more endearing. It was as if he would never get tired of flirting with her in this manner.
How could Anastasia continue to fight after noticing that he was being affectionate with her? At this he continued to fill her plate with food.
“Sweetheart, you need to eat more in order to have enough energy tonight.”
This caused her to quickly blush. “Is that all you can think about?!”
