Never Too Far Novel

Chapter 137

Chapter 137
“Cool. You should go ahead, then. I’ll be here waiting for my girlfriend to have lunch with me.” The two men waved goodbye. Rey had just walked into the office lobby when he saw Anastasia heading out with her bag. “Are you going for lunch, Miss Tillman?”
“Yeah!” She beamed at Rey.
Rey took the elevator up to the eighth floor. When he saw Elliot sitting by the desk, he told Elliot about what he saw. “I bumped into Young Master Nigel downstairs, President Presgrave. He came over to bring Miss Tillman out for lunch.”
Elliot had been signing some papers, but one of his strokes turned crooked after he heard his assistant’s words. He frowned as he completed his signature.
After Nigel and Anastasia got to the restaurant, Nigel told her about the renovation that was going on in his office. “I prepared a space for you, Anastasia. In the future, you can always go over to my office if you need some inspiration at work. I’ll make sure that the design of the place is really trendy and aesthetic,” he said.

Anastasia nearly spat her tea out of her mouth. She looked up and stared at him with a rather helpless expression on her face. “Why did you prepare a room for me?” she cried.
“If you no longer want to be a designer in the future, you can just work with me. I’ll give you a high-paying job.” Nigel was already planning for the future.
“Are you trying to headhunt me now? Designing is the only type of work I’m capable of. I don’t know how to do anything else.”
“That’s no big deal. I just acquired a jewelry store, so you can always work there.” Nigel looked her in the eye for a moment before his eyes lit up. “That’s right! Why didn’t I think of that earlier?”
“Stop being so stubborn, Young Master Nigel. I don’t think we’ll even be able to remain as friends if you continue acting like this. I just want us to be friends I don’t want you to give me anything else.” For the rest of their meal, Nigel continued to find ways to convince Anastasia to work at his company, and she got really frustrated by the end of it. After lunch, Anastasia got back to her office just in time to have Alice barge into her room with a cold smirk on her face. “I heard you returned your trophy. The entire company knows how you won the competition now. Don’t you feel ashamed to continue staying here?”
Anastasia looked up at her. “You were the one who got someone to call me this morning, right?”
Alice hadn’t expected Anastasia to be smart enough to realize this, but Alice didn’t bother to hide anything. “Ah, this world is truly filled with people lacking both skill and intellect!” Alice let out a hearty laugh.
Anastasia felt her face turning red at the other woman’s offensive words. “We’re still colleagues, so I don’t want to argue with you. Please leave now.” Anastasia held the door open for Alice to leave.
“I’ll make sure you leave this company soon, Anastasia.” Alice wasn’t afraid to reveal her true intentions. Anastasia responded with a sneer. “We’ll see if you have such skills,” she replied. Alice shot her a side glare before she left.
