Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106

“Nigel?” Anastasia couldn’t help but stare at him dumbfoundedly. Nigel gave her a boyish smile as he held the passenger’s door open before pulling out a bouquet of roses and handing it to her. “Here. It’s for you.”

“Why are you giving me these flowers?” she asked in a rather clueless voice while she took the bouquet from him.

“Do you like them?” He gazed at her longingly. “Let’s have dinner tonight!”

“Tonight? Um… Okay!” Right after Anastasia finished her words, she intentionally turned to glance at the luxury car with its oppressive presence. Nigel turned and pretended that he had only just noticed the car. He smirked before walking over to greet the person inside.

The car window went down, and Elliot turned to meet gazes with the other man. “Are you done with work, Elliot?” Nigel greeted him before changing the topic intentionally. “I’m here to pick Anastasia up for dinner. We’ll leave now.” With that said, Nigel walked back to Anastasia before he put an arm over her shoulder in a practiced manner. He opened the passenger’s door, and his body leaned close to hers as he helped her into the car.

Anastasia sat in his passenger seat with the bouquet of flowers still in her hand. Once Nigel got in, he stepped on the accelerator and sped off. Nigel’s plan had been to drop by to snatch the woman away from Elliot, and he was surprised that his plan had actually worked.

Elliot’s black car slowly made its way out of its parking spot. The tinted glasses made it impossible for anyone to look through the windows, so no one knew the expression that Elliot wore on his face as he drove off. However, after the black Rolls-Royce drove for a while more, it sped up and weaved between cars on the road as if the driver was raging.

Meanwhile, Anastasia felt an odd sense of relief as she sat in Nigel’s car. Now that Elliot knows I’m having dinner with Nigel, I’ll have a reason not to buy him dinner. She pulled her phone out to drop the man a text. ‘I don’t have time to buy you dinner tonight. You can eat on your own!’

“How have you been?” Nigel asked.

“Not too bad!” she uttered while rubbing her brow.

“I’ve decided to rent an office building near your workplace, Anastasia. I’ll be moving my office over, so we’ll be really close to each other in the future,” he said.
