Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 165

Chapter 165 

“She’s so generous. She shared such expensive flowers with the entire office”

At that point, Elliot paused in his tracks and his handsome face significantly darkened. He strode back toward the direction of the working area and instantly, he saw that every single vase of all of the staff in the office was adorned with a stalk of red rose. From his observation, it was in fact the imported roses that he had carefully hand-picked from the florist before his morning meeting. That woman just gave it away after taking a glance at it?!

His handsome face was as cold as ice and there was an annoyed look in his eyes. He turned around and walked back toward the meeting room. Subsequently, he yanked open the door and hollered toward the woman inside, “Anastasia, come and see me in my office.” After he had said that, he added, “Now.”

His tone of voice caused everyone in the meeting room to tense up as they directed slightly sympathetic looks at the woman specifically mentioned by Elliot. Deep down, they thought to themselves, What sort of major mistake has she committed this time? Why is the big boss using such a commandeering tone of voice?

Slightly shocked, Anastasia collected her belongings and got out of her seat. Then, she walked out and shut the door to the meeting room behind her. “President Presgrave, is there something urgent?”

“Let’s talk in my office.” He spoke through clenched teeth and strode on ahead toward the direction of the elevator.

Meanwhile, Anastasia was quite confused. How did I offend him anyway? Is it because of the suggestion for that patisserie earlier on? But I didn’t insist on it, though! It’s entirely up to him!

In the elevator, Anastasia could clearly feel the tense vibe in the air and she glanced at the tall, strapping man next to her who had his arms crossed. He seemed quite angry at the moment.

“How’s your gastritis? Are you feeling better now?” She took the chance to express her concern.

However, Elliot continued to ignore her and as soon as the elevator doors slid open, he strode out immediately with his long legs. As for Anastasia, she trailed behind him awkwardly.

The moment she entered Elliot’s office, she saw him turn around all of a sudden and his tall, well-built figure approached her. Frightened, she took a step backward but she found her back hit against the door. Meanwhile, he placed both of his hands by each side of her shoulders as he held her captive against the door.

“Anastasia Tillman, do you actually dislike the flowers I gave you so much?! Why did you share it with the others just like that?!” Elliot’s deep, dark eyes were clearly smoldering with anger.

In response. Anastasia blinked her eyes a few times. Oh–so he’s mad about this!
