Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 162

Chapter 162 

Catching her sighing, Elliot, who was sitting beside her, asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”

“Because of you, my full attendance bonus is gone now.” Anastasia blamed Elliot in its entirety; she wouldn’t have been sleepless if it weren’t for him sleeping at her house last night.

If she hadn’t been sleepless, she wouldn’t have missed the slot to arrive at work on time.

“Are you that short on money?” he asked in an amused voice.

“Of course I am! Do you think everybody’s pockets are bursting at the seams with money like you? Us common folk spend every penny carefully, you know!” Anastasia rebuked.

Upon hearing that, Elliot wanted to make up for it, so he announced, “Then I’ll tell them to include your full attendance bonus for this month.”

Anastasia’s mood immediately turned for the better as she grinned ear to ear. “Are you serious?”

Elliot nodded and he hummed in response.

She was really over the moon now. Looking outside the car window, Anastasia could only think about the deal of the custom set of lock and key that would cost five million. With the deadline being the day after tomorrow, she had to quickly come up with a design.

Reaching the underground car park of the company, Anastasia ran the moment she got out of the car, because she did not want to get into the same elevator with a certain individual. After locking his car, Elliot snorted upon seeing the woman, who was still standing at the hallway of the elevator, disappear.

Already reaching her office, Anastasia then called Grace on the company line.

“Grace, could you come in for a moment?”

Thinking that she wanted coffee, Grace came in with a cup in her hands. “Miss Tillman, here’s your coffee. I added some creamer for you today, since you said that it was too bitter last time.”

Touched, Anastasia nodded as a reply. However, she still had to ask the necessary question.
