The Girl Bumped to Him Is Pregnant novel (Anastasia)

Chapter 150

The waiter named the price with a smile. "That will be 5,888, thank you!"

Anastasia's almond-shaped eyes widened when she heard the unbelievably expensive price tag that the cup of coffee had. "That's unreasonably expensive!"

"The coffee was brewed with coffee beans of the finest quality, so it is definitely worth the price."

Anastasia was rendered speechless. The coffee cost me a fortune although I have barely sipped it-I didn't even manage to relish the taste. "Fine, just get me the bill. Pack the coffee too. Add some ice, sugar and cream please." Then, she took out her card and handed it to a stunned waiter.

The waiter immediately asked his colleague to pack the drink. However, Anastasia's action led Leah, who was sitting near the window, to scoff at her. "Anastasia, my apologies. I've forgotten that you are an ordinary white-collar employee. I reckon that this cup of coffee must have cost about half of your monthly salary!"

Anastasia wasn't bothered to respond and she was unfazed by the unusual glances from the waiters around. When the waiter handed her the coffee, she took the coffee and left with her chest puffed out. Upon seeing that, Leah was so pissed that she clenched her teeth. Anastasia's really a tough nut to crack, she thought.

It was almost lunch hour when Anastasia returned to the office. She asked Felicia out for lunch and told her about all that had happened earlier that day. "What? She was spiteful to you?" Felicia asked in shock.

"Yes! She even attempted to force me to leave my friends, so she deliberately made things difficult for me. It wasn't her intention to do business with us at all." At that point, Anastasia had yet to mention the incident about the coffee!

"In that case, I'll make a request with the management to collect liquidated damages from her instead. I can't put you in a difficult situation because of this," a reasonable Felicia replied, to which Anastasia nodded and responded, "Sorry for the trouble, Felicia."

"No worries. We can't let anyone bully us because of this, eh?" Felicia smiled. Besides, with Elliot around, nobody can lay a finger on you!

At about 2.00PM, she went upstairs to Elliot's office. Elliot was sitting on the couch reading a document. The man displayed high work efficiency; the large pile of documents that had been on his desk that morning had vanished with only a few remaining documents.

"President Presgrave, I have something I'd like to report to you," Felicia uttered.

Elliot placed the documents down and nodded. "Go ahead."

She reiterated the incident that had happened that morning, whereby Anastasia had met Leah, before she added, "I'd talk to you regarding their request for liquidated damage."

It was apparent that Elliot's expression darkened when he heard the story. "How dare she request for liquidated damages from our company after she bullied my staff! Does Miss Hart think that our legal department is good for nothing?" he coldly replied:

Felicia was stunned by his response. It seems like President Presgrave is really enraged!

"I'll phone Miss Hart and discuss with her to see whether we can resolve this amicably."

"Invite Miss Hart over in the afternoon. I'd like to personally talk to her about the liquidated damages," he impassively replied. It seemed like he had no plans to let this slide easily.

She was pleased upon seeing his reaction. I can't wait for the interesting drama to unfold. "Noted, President Presgrave."

After Felicia had left the room, Elliot narrowed his eyes and thought, That woman was bullied?

On the other hand, Felicia called Leah the first thing after returning to her office. She invited Leah over to talk about the liquidated damages without mentioning that Elliot wanted to see her: personally. Leah coincidentally happened to be nearby, so she would be arriving in 20 minutes, at most.

Thereafter, Felicia went to Anastasia's office to inform her that Leah's matter would be handled by Elliot, which stunned Anastasia. "Does he even have the time to deal with this?"

"Anastasia, do you think Leah would receive the liquidated damages?"

"She would be really lucky if she really gets it; it would be as if earning two million is like a walk in the park. I would have done so if it's really that good of a deal." Anastasia's eyes beamed at the discovery of a new way to become rich.

"Don't be foolish. That's a crime. It's more realistic to go to work." With that, Felicia left the scene with a grin.

Anastasia propped her chin on her arm and dropped the thought.

Twenty minutes later, Leah arrived at their office along with her best friend. Felicia invited them into a reception room and greeted them warmly.
