Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 140

Chapter 140

On the other hand, Anastasia never thought about what the person on stage was saying. She instead wanted to ask Elliot what he was doing here, but with her father there, she had no way of chatting with Elliot.

“Do we have hope, Dad?” she asked her father softly.

Francis shook his head in reply. “Beats me.”

At any rate, his company was also participating in the bid. While it wasn’t clear whether they had any chance to win, Lady Luck was recently smiling on him. Every time he felt like there was no hope, his company would ultimately be chosen.

It meant that Francis had to give it a try, no matter what.

Meanwhile, Elliot was staring at the long, flowing hair that covered the woman’s attractive back.

The persistent gaze on the back of her head made Anastasia feel extremely uncomfortable.

There were four projects up for bidding today and the one that Francis had his eye on was the second one. After the company that won the first bid was announced, the second bid quickly followed and he couldn’t help clenching his fists in anticipation. Upon hearing the name of her father’s company among the bidders for the second project, Anastasia had also tensed up as she hoped that her father would win the bid.

On second thought, she shouldn’t have too much hope.

“After extensive investigation and comprehensive consideration, we have decided to award the bid for this magnificent project to the following company-Tillman Constructions! Congratulations!” the host onstage announced loudly.

As Anastasia’s head spun, Francis slapped his thighs. “We got it!”

Sure enough, his luck was fantastic!

On the other hand, she could see several conflicted, incredulous, and even unreadable glances aimed at them.

At this moment, someone in front of them harrumphed loudly, “How could such a small company win such a large bid? They must have used their connections to get someone strong to back them up!”

As Francis’ expression turned ugly, Anastasia had to swallow her resentment on her father’s behalf as well. What was that person talking about?!
