Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 102

Chapter 102

Anastasia suddenly reached out and pressed the touch screen, answering the call for him. Elliot turned to look at her, but she simply glared back with glee.

“Hello Elliot, I’m at the company now. Why aren’t you here yet?” Hayley’s cutesy voice rang out.

“I’m on my way,” Elliot answered in a low voice.

“All right, I’ll be waiting!”

“Sure.”

“You haven’t forgotten your gift for me, right? It’s your fault for not accompanying me last night,” said Hayley in a spoiled manner.

Anastasia listened without any expressions while Elliot glanced at her, then told Hayley, “We’ll talk when I get back to the company.”

With that, he hung up. Anastasia noticed how fast he had ended the call, so she suddenly sneered. “Is there anything I shouldn’t be hearing?”

“We are just normal friends,” Elliot explained in a low voice. Ever since he found Hayley, he had maintained a certain distance between them because he simply wanted to compensate her. Other than that, he had no other thoughts of her.

Anastasia’s gaze went cold, disgust apparent in her eyes. “Don’t touch me ever again.”

Panic flitted across Elliot’s eyes. “Anastasia, I can’t change what happened in the past.”

“Everything Hayley touched is dirty to me.” This time, Anastasia said it loud and clear in person.

After her claim, Elliot’s expression fell. On the way back to the company, Anastasia ignored Elliot, and the latter’s expression was also terrible. From the way it seemed, her words had probably struck a nerve.

The car had just pulled up at the underground car park when Anastasia opened the door and left right away. Elliot followed behind her, and when the elevator was about to close on him, Anastasia didn’t hold the door open for him. She didn’t want to be on the same ride as him, but the man’s slender arms still reached her. Sensing an object in the way, the elevator doors opened again, allowing Elliot to enter. There was a pressuring aura about him, as if he were a sharp, brandished blade.

Hayley opened the box to see a three-piece set, and the design and diamonds were absolutely stunning. In the end, she pursed her lips and smiled. “I love it, thank you.”

Hayley looked back to see Elliot lost in thought, completely overlooking her existence.

“Elliot, I made reservations at a restaurant tonight. Let’s have dinner together!” Hayley took the initiative to invite the man, but he raised an eyebrow and declined. “Hayley, I have an appointment at night. I can’t cancel it.”

“But I really want to have a meal with you,” Hayley begged with a pleading look in her eyes.

“I have to meet a very important client tonight, so I can’t cancel. We’ll do it next time, all right?” Even though the words sounded normal, when Elliot spoke them, his voice would carry an undeniable power with it.

None would dare to defy his wishes.

Hayley bit her red lip, but she could only nod pitifully. “If you say so.”
