Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 154

Chapter 154

When she was about to use her phone to do a calculation, a message popped up on her screen. It was a message from Elliot.

‘I’ll deal with it. Anastasia’s heart skipped a beat when she saw his message. What does he mean?

About ten minutes after Felicia had seen the female client out, she knocked on Anastasia’s door and said, “Anastasia, please try your best to come out with the design draft in three days’ time, even if you have to work overtime. You must not let the client down.”

“Sure. I’ll work overtime to come out with the draft,” Anastasia promised. The requested design elements happened to be those that she was skillful in, so the work wouldn’t be much of a hassle for her.

Felicia had faith in Anastasia’s quality of work, so the former left after a short discussion.

When Anastasia was staring at the sketch in an attempt to capture inspiration when it struck, Nigel was seen entering her office. He looked at her apologetically and muttered, “Anastasia, I’ll treat you and Jared to a meal another day. I have something else to attend to tonight.”

Anastasia, who wasn’t surprised at all to hear that, pursed her lips and flashed a smile at him. “No worries. We can always do that when you are free.”

“I just received the news that an overseas company will be holding their team-building event in my hotel, so I have to rush back to attend a meeting,” Nigel explained in frustration, to which

Anastasia responded, “Please go ahead with your business. You have just taken over the company; you must not disappoint your father.”

Nigel felt helpless as well. He finally had the time to invite Anastasia to dinner, but the plan was still ruined in the end.

After seeing him off, Anastasia fell into a daze. Elliot actually made such a huge move just to eat my cooking? He actually gave Nigel the profit that could be generated from the team-building event of the overseas company?

Just then, her landline rang, and she picked up the call. “Hello, who’s on the line?”

“Has he left?” A sonorous voice rang from the other end of the line, leaving Anastasia speechless. She then questioned, “Did you really have to drive him away?”

“What’s wrong? Or were you looking forward to having dinner with him?” The man’s voice from the other end suddenly took on a menacing edge.

“Alright! I’ll go and buy some groceries tonight.” At that point, Anastasia had no choice but to go through the trouble of making him dinner.

However, the man on the other end refused to give up. “Answer my question.”

“You take a cab back. I have something else to do.” Hayley instructed the lady.

That lady used to be Hayley’s friend. At present, she left the car in satisfaction, holding the 2,000 that she had earned for her service.

On the other hand, Hayley touched up her make up and picked up the dessert that she had bought before she contently alighted from the car. Then, she walked toward the Bourgeois Jewelry Atelier.

On the way there, she reached for her phone and gave a call to May. “May, ask Anastasia to go to Elliot’s office in five minutes. Just ask her to go there without telling her the purpose.”

“Sure, Miss Seymour!” May immediately agreed.

When Hayley walked past the reception counter, the four receptionists instantly looked at her respectfully. “Welcome, Miss Seymour.”

In response, Hayley revealed an elegant yet arrogant smile before she took an elevator and went straight to the president’s office on the 8th floor.

Meanwhile in the president’s office, Elliot was finishing up his work so that he could get off work earlier to go grocery shopping with Anastasia.
