The Girl Bumped to Him Is Pregnant novel (Anastasia)

Chapter 139

Chapter 139 Elliot shut his files and glanced at the clock. “Let’s go!” Anastasia questioned her father the moment she got in his car. “What’s this important thing you’re talking about, Dad? Why do you need me to be there?” “I’m bringing you to an auction. Our company hopes to acquire one of the projects being offered. At the same time, I also want you to observe the process so that you know how it works when you take over the company.” Anastasia blinked. Isn’t he planning a little too far ahead into the future? “You’re still young, Dad. It’ll be at least another ten years before I take over anything!” She let out an exasperated laugh. “I just wanted to have you prepared a little earlier so that you wouldn’t be too confused when you actually take over the company. I really want you to understand this industry.” Francis was a man with foresight. Furthermore, he had been feeling weaker in recent days-he had to admit that he was growing old Anastasia had no choice but to go along with her father’s plans since it was what he wanted her to do. The auction was a grand event held in some company, and Francis led Anastasia over to meet up with his assistant before they entered the hall together. They all found seats toward the back of the room, and Anastasia watched as more people walked in. This seems like a really huge auction. Will Dad’s company get a chance? She held a water bottle up and sipped on her drink while glancing at her surroundings. She was relatively curious about her surroundings, and she glanced around the room for a while before her gaze landed on two people who were entering the room. Anastasia was close to spitting her drink out on the person in front of her, but she shut her lips just in time to swallow the liquid in her mouth. It wasn’t just big bosses with huge bellies who were entering the room-there were also people of other shapes and sizes. The two men who had just walked in, for example, had lanky and tall figures that gave off a different aura. It was Elliot and Rey. Both of them were dressed in suits, and their sharp appearances had a huge impact on everyone who was glancing around the room. Anastasia would’ve never expected to bump into Elliot in such a noisy and crowded place. Is he

here for the auction too? She watched him as he slithered through the crowd. He hadn’t noticed her at all, and he simply followed Rey over to take seats at lower tiers of the hall. In the end, Elliot got seats in the front row-Anastasia watched as he sat down beside a severely balding man. They looked like they were discussing something. Anastasia couldn’t stop herself from standing up in curiosity. However, Francis tapped her on the shoulder. “Sit down, Anastasia. The meeting is starting soon.” If Elliot is here for the auction, then the rest of the bosses can just take a break, she thought. Do they still have a reason to be here? Dad’s company won’t stand much of a chance either. But after a few minutes, Anastasia saw Elliot standing up. By staring at his back, she could tell that he was fixing his suit. Rey stood up beside him, and they both shook hands with the bald man beside them as they continued chatting for a while. The bald man reached his hand out to send them off-he looked as if he were sending gods off to heaven. Perhaps Anastasia had been staring at the man for too long, for the man suddenly looked up. Both of them exchanged glances, and the man froze instantly. He narrowed his eyes to stare at her-he hadn’t expected to see her in a place like this either. Things made a little more sense when he saw her father beside her. Anastasia and Elliot gazed at each other for a while more-one of them had eyes full of curiosity while the other one had a rather cryptic look. Elliot suddenly decided to stay and turned to address Rey. “Find us a spot to sit,” he ordered. After that, Elliot walked over to the seats one row above where Anastasia was standing. When Rey saw Anastasia, he gave her a friendly wave, and she smiled back at him. As she turned around, she found herself staring at the familiar face of a man who had just sat down. Since Anastasia’s father was around, she couldn’t really say much to Elliot. Furthermore, the auction was about to begin. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
