Chapter 679

“Is there anything else?” Elliot closed his eyes and seemed to be thinking about what he was going to
say. Then, he said, “I don’t want anything else tonight except you.”

After hearing this, Anastasia didn’t waste any time in lowering her head to start eating, and this man
immediately began piling more meat onto her plate. Why did it seem as if he was feeding her to be
slaughtered later that night?

The next Monday, there was a meeting at Bourgeois in the morning.

Anastasia sat at the chief designer’s seat and she was dressed in a beige suit with her hair tied back.
This gave her delicate and lovely face a natural and tidy appearance.

The first topic she wanted to discuss with everyone today was the termination of Cathryn’s
endorsement contract that was recently signed.

“President Tillman, we just invested 10 million dollars on her. If we break our contract with her, we have
to compensate her for liquidated damages.”

When Anastasia heard that, her eyes turned cold. “Then, you should figure out how to avoid
compensating her for terminating the contract.”

Everyone cringed at this statement. They initially thought that she was more pleasant, but they certainly
never expected her to throw such a serious challenge at them on her first day.

“President Tillman, may I know the reason why you are terminating Cathryn’s contract?”

“I don’t like her,” Anastasia answered bluntly as she elegantly twirled her long hair around her finger.

Her response was both arrogant and straightforward.



“President Tillman, I understand. I’ll take care of it right away. We will have to discuss our new
spokesperson after launching the new product at the conference. Do you have any recommendations?”

“You may suggest a few for me to select from,” she replied.

Felicia was the only one aware of the rationale for her decision.

Anastasia asked Felicia to stay. “Felicia, please remain. The rest of you may return to work!”

Felicia looked at Anastasia with admiration in the meeting room.

She was really assertive as she expressed her appreciation. “Felicia, thank you for alerting me about
Cathryn.”

“No worries. Of course, Cathryn isn’t the first woman to openly flirt with President Presgrave. You still
must take caution.”

Anastasia gave a helpless smile when she heard this. “It wouldn’t upset me if I didn’t know about it, but
I’ll take action if I did.”

A phone call came into Cathryn’s office from Bourgeois’ advertising and planning department to inform
her agent that they were terminating their contract with her.

“What? What is wrong with my artiste? The contract has been signed. I don’t think this is a good idea!”

“The decision was made by our boss.”

“Your boss is Vice-president Young, correct? He was there when the contract was signed!”

“No, it’s our big boss.”

“Who is your big boss?” the agent asked anxiously.



“Miss Anastasia Tillman, President Presgrave’s wife, has taken over as president of Bourgeois Jewelry
Atelier.” This startled the agent, who quickly responded, “If you do this, you will be in breach of contract!
Bourgeois would be obliged to pay liquidated damages in this manner! This is definitely something that
we do not want to happen. We also wish to continue working with you for a long time.

“Our contract has an additional clause. If we believe the artiste has not fulfilled the conditions, we have
the right to terminate the contract without any compensation.”

The agent and the employee from Bourgeois engaged in a lengthy discussion, but Cathryn’s agent was
finally forced to concede.

Then, she summoned Cathryn immediately and questioned her. “Cathryn, have you been involved in
any scandals recently? You were dismissed by Bourgeois due to your indecent conduct.”

“I’m not involved in anything and my past is clean. How could they treat me like this?” Cathryn was
filled with resentment, believing that she had been treated unfairly.

“It was the big boss’ decision to call it off. Did you offend her in any way?”

“You mean, Vice-president Young?”

“No. Anastasia Tillman, the wife of Elliot Presgrave, is the current president of

Bourgeois. Out of so many people, why would she want to terminate the contract with you?”

“How would I know?” Cathryn snapped back as her guilt gnawed away at her. It couldn’t have been
because she tried to seduce Elliot in the hallway that Saturday afternoon, right?

Of course, Cathryn’s agent was reluctant to let such a large endorsement fee slip away so easily. She
eventually got a hold of Anastasia’s general office line after asking around and decided to ask her in



person.
