Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 123

Chapter 123

The man’s expression dimmed as his lips twitched a little. “No;” he muttered. Anastasia let out a scoff. “I’m afraid someone as plain and normal as me will never be able to converse with someone as high and mighty as you.” After finishing her sentence, Anastasia picked her bag up and walked away.

Coincidentally, Hayley was walking over with some plates of food. The moment Hayley saw Anastasia walking in her direction, Hayley intentionally leaned closer to Anastasia so that she could allow herself to be hit by Anastasia’s shoulder. Then, Hayley started her grand performance.

She threw her plate onto the ground as she stumbled and clutched the table beside her. “Ah…” she let out a weak cry. Elliot had his back against them at first, but he immediately turned around when he heard the sound of glass shattering. The moment he turned, he saw Hayley clutching a chair, Anastasia looking back while scoffing, and glass shattered all over the ground.

Anastasia didn’t bother to take a second look at the situation and simply walked off. Hayley quickly bent down to pick up the shattered glass pieces, but the man stopped her. “Don’t pick that up! You might cut yourself. Get the servers to do it!”

Hayley had done that on purpose-she knew that Elliot wouldn’t watch her pick up the glass shards without saying anything, “What a waste,” she muttered as she put on a mournful look. As she spoke, she rubbed her shoulder.

“Did she hurt you?” Elliot asked in a caring tone.

“It’s not her fault. I don’t blame her for anything.” Hayley bit her lip as if she were trying to force herself to endure all the ways in which she had been wronged. This would make it seem like Anastasia was the rude, demanding one. A rather troubled look flashed across Elliot’s face. For some reason, he felt rather exasperated at Anastasia’s behavior-he didn’t want her to be such a rude person.

Anastasia clearly knew that Hayley was putting on an act, but she didn’t want to do anything about it. Elliot’s blind, so he won’t be able to realize anything on his own. I don’t want to be the person to tell him any of this, she thought.
