Chapter 398 A Man-Eating Beast
“Alice is just jealous of you.”
Anastasia only laughed it off. Alice had it coming, and Savill brought their ending upon themselves. Though Elliot’s move left them bankrupt, they didn’t deserve any pity.
When she returned to her office, her phone rang. “Hello?”
“Let’s celebrate tonight.” Elliot’s voice came from the other end of the line.
“Sure. My treat.” Anastasia had to give him proper thanks.
Though she’d be leaving the jewelry-making industry and returning to help her father’s business, he had retained her reputation for her. This would retain her footing if she ever returned to this industry.
“Nigel said that he’d babysit Jared. I’ll be just us tonight,” Elliot said.
“Okay, I’ll make the reservation.” She didn’t have a problem with it either.
“I’d like a special thanks tonight,” he reminded.

However, Anastasia didn’t quite get him. “What kind of special thanks?”
“We’ll see at the restaurant.” Elliot acted all mysterious.
Seeing that it was already 4.30PM, Anastasia ended the call and picked a restaurant. Thanks to him, she got a whopping 1.8 million. She’d still obtain a million or so after tax, and it was only right that they had a fancy dinner that night.
Meanwhile, a plane took off from Hogland. Hayley smiled as she looked out to the evening sky, sitting in first class. She could finally go home.
Her eyes were still a little puffy under her sunglasses, but her face was no longer swelling, and with makeup, she was now a beauty.
Now that ‘average’ was no longer a part of her, she’d be every man’s dream girl.
How she wished she could be in front of Elliot right now. She’d captivate him with her brand new self.
Back at home, Anastasia booked a private room for 6.30PM at a high-end restaurant to treat Elliot to dinner. While she was making the orders, all Elliot could care about was staring at her, for she looked drop-dead gorgeous and was in an excellent mood that night.
“Thanks for sticking up for me.”
“It’s what I should do. Anyone who dares hurt you will have to pay.” No way would Elliot be merciful.
This time, Alice would be prosecuted for theft, selling trade secrets, as well as other crimes, sentencing her to at least five years of jail time. Savill, on the other hand, would have to compensate Bourgeois up to a hundred million for infringement apart from compensating Anastasia for her losses.
Elliot’s team of lawyers were no slouches, and they could easily have the opposing side pay up every last bit of their assets.

“Can you attend a charity auction as my plus one tomorrow night?” Elliot asked out of the blue.
“Sure,” Anastasia agreed without hesitation. He had been a big help, so she shouldn’t say no to his requests so quickly.

Just then, a firm chest pressed onto her back, and Elliot circled her in his arms following that, causing her to tense up a little.
There was barely any space between them, and despite the layer of clothing, they could feel each other’s body heat. The last time they were this close was before Riley had kidnapped her.
“We’re done with the main course, but I still haven’t had my dessert!” Elliot’s deep, amorous voice traveled to her ear.
To that, Anastasia suggested, “Would you like me to order it for you?”
Elliot smiled at that. “You know well that you’re my dessert.”
No way was she going to become his dessert. Then again, he was hugging her too tightly, and she wouldn’t be able to escape anyway.
Meanwhile, her scent was intoxicating him, leading him to plant a kiss on her neck like he was truly savoring a dessert.
“Cut it out,” Anastasia warned.
This is a restaurant, for heaven’s sake!
However, Elliot knew that the servers here were well trained. They wouldn’t come in for no reason.
At that, he turned her around, forcing her to face him. However, she looked everywhere but his eyes, for an active man-eating beast lived within it.
On the other hand, Elliot stared at her, his fathomless gaze drifting from her eyes to her nose, landing on her lips at last.
