Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 143

Chapter 143

Narrowing his eyes, Elliot asked in a clear, curious voice, “How do you intend to pay me back?” In a lower voice, he continued with hope, “Will you agree to marry me so that my helping your father will be nothing more than assisting my future father-in-law?”

It was enough to cause Anastasia to suck in a breath of air. What a ridiculous idea! “I can’t marry you. Please give me another request!” She turned her chair away and began doodling in her notebook

His expression sank at that. Did she find him so unlikeable?

“Give me something I can fulfill,” she reminded him since she had no way of promising him something she couldn’t fulfill.

As Elliot stared at her delicate side profile, he suddenly relaxed. Sometimes, the process was more enjoyable than the result. “Alright, then. From today onward, I’ll eat over at your place.” It was something that he believed she could do.

Anastasia’s eyebrows drew together. While this request wasn’t necessarily over the line, it still made things difficult for her.

Dinner at her place? She supposed that it was quite a good method of repayment since she had no money to repay him with and he also didn’t need any money.

“If you’re not willing, that’s fine since I’m helping your father as a repayment to your mother, anyway.” Seeing that she wasn’t saying anything, Elliot stood up and made to leave.

Instantly, Anastasia whipped her head around to agree. “Alright, you can eat at my place, but you must promise that you’ll behave yourself and not make any moves on me.”

“I have no interest in women,” he lied with a straight face.

Struck dumb by his boldness, she gaped at him. No interest in women? Had he forgotten the time he forced his kisses on her?

Nevertheless, if she could repay him for the help he gave her father by doing this, she would feel better.

“Fine, consider it a measure of trust,” she finally said before getting up and pushing open the conference room door to leave.

“From tonight onward,” he spoke up softly behind her.

Without turning back, she answered, “Okay.”
