Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 158

Chapter 158 

“Didn’t you send someone in the afternoon to summon me to your office?” Anastasia asked the man on the sofa.

Frowning, Elliot replied, “I didn’t.”

Immediately, she remembered that it was Grace who came to relay the message. But where did she get the orders from? Obviously, this was planned to make the situation look like a coincidence.

Sneering deep down, Anastasia already knew that this was another one of Hayley’s ploys.

Still sitting on the sofa, Elliot asked with his seductive low voice, “Do you still need me to explain all to you again?”

Giving his phone back to him, Anastasia noticed that his pale skin was unnaturally flushed. Paired with a sweat-covered forehead, the usually stern looking Elliot looked a bit weak under the light.

“A-Are you alright?” Anastasia asked guiltily. Don’t tell me it’s because of the spicy food tonight!

“My stomach hurts.” Covering his stomach with his big hand, he then added strugglingly, “It’s fine, though. It’s still bearable.”

Frightened, Anastasia kneeled by the man in panic as she asked hurriedly, “Does it hurt a lot? Do you want to go to the hospital? If you have stomach problems, why did you eat all that spicy food just now? You could’ve just told me! Why are you so dumb?!”

Anastasia was panicking and she could no longer think straight, as she blamed herself and him for not voicing this fact out.

Seeing her in this state, Elliot chuckled after admiring this scene in front of him for a while. “If I didn’t eat all that, how would you have forgiven me?”

Feeling her chest tighten, Anastasia knew that it was indeed her fault as she made all those spicy food on purpose.

“Then what should we do now? Should we go to the hospital?” She looked at him guiltily.

“No need. There’s a pharmacy at the entrance of the community, so just get me a box of stomach medicine from there.” After saying that, Elliot handed over the empty cup to her. “And I’ll have to trouble you for another cup of warm water.”
