Never Too Far novel Chapter 5

"My grandma wants me to marry you, then take care of you and your children for the rest of your life. Are you willing to marry me?" Elliot said bluntly. Although he was talking about marriage, his gaze was indifferent; it was like he was simply shouldering a responsibility.

Feeling suddenly amused, Anastasia fluffed her long hair and looked at the man opposite. "Take a good look at me. Do I look like the type who can never get married?"

She was very beautiful. In fact, it was not an overstatement to say that she was absolutely stunning.

"Miss Tillman, do you not want to marry me?" Elliot twitched the corner of his mouth and silently breathed a sigh of relief.

"Although you are powerful and handsome, I don't care for you," Anastasia replied very confidently.

Elliot's handsome face revealed a slightly startled expression. It seemed that he was not attractive at all to this woman. Oh well, that is exactly the result I wanted, anyway.

As he wished, they were not attracted to each other.

"I hope you can visit my grandmother in person, Miss Tillman." After all, only this woman could deny his grandmother's wishes because, in his heart, he was also responsible for another woman.

Anastasia pondered for a few seconds, then asked with narrowed eyes, "You really have acquired QR International Group?"

"From now on, I'll be your boss, so don't worry. I'll take care of you." Elliot expressed that even though he couldn't marry her, he would take care of her at work.

Hearing that, Anastasia blinked. "Okay, let's do that then! Goodbye, President Presgrave."

Elliot was startled again at her words. Never before had a woman disregarded him so blatantly.

Thus, Elliot got up and left. After he did, Anastasia let out a small sigh. Suddenly, Grace knocked on the door and asked, "Anastasia, what are you talking about with President Presgrave? Does he like you very much?"

"Who said that?"

"Everyone is saying that he has been staring at you in the conference room," Grace informed Anastasia with the current juicy gossip.

When Anastasia heard that, she was annoyed. It seemed that Elliot was causing trouble for her at work. As a boss, he should be a good boss. She would just work under him, and he should not appear in front of her in the future.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Anastasia picked up the phone and called her father.

"Hello! May I know who it is?" A familiar voice came from the other end.

Anastasia's nose burned as she called out to the other side, "Dad, it's me. I'm Anastasia."

"Anastasia? You... Where have you been in the past five years? I couldn't find you." Francis was pleasantly surprised.

Now that the father and daughter were connected, how could any hatred last? Anastasia's eyes filled with tears as she said, "Dad, I'm sorry. I have lived abroad for all these years, and now I'm back to work in the country."

"Okay, as long as you're back. When will you come home?"

"I-I'll go home in two days."

"Okay, as long as you are healthy and safe. It's my fault. I shouldn't have driven you out."

"Let's forget about the past." Anastasia comforted him. She had gone through all the hardships, and she didn't want to think about them anymore.

"Okay, come back home as soon as possible!" Francis sighed.

Anastasia hung up the phone and took a deep breath. Actually, she still didn't want to go home yet. It was good enough as long as her father was healthy and safe.

At this time, Larry knocked on the door and came over with a box in his hands. "Anastasia, I'm here to bring you something."

Anastasia looked at the box he put on the table in surprise. "What is this?"

"Guess."

Anastasia looked at the box with the words 'Cloud Residence No. 1' written on it. It was like the name of a building.

Hearing her refusal, Larry was dumbfounded for a few seconds. Did she just refuse such an amazing perk?
