Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 185

Chapter 185

“You guys can take it from here,” Elliot calmly announced. It was apparent that he had no intention to participate in the meeting further, so he rose up from his seat and left.

As soon as he had left, everyone in the meeting room exhaled in relief. The heavy atmosphere earlier had been suffocating.

“Anastasia, we will fight for the position in a fair and square manner. If you can beat me, I’ll give you the position!” Alice sneered.

“I don’t need you to give it to me. Let’s each do our best,” Anastasia coldly refuted.

“Other than the three people whose names were called earlier, the others may leave.” Felicia asked them to leave, as she wanted to have a private talk with the trio.

In the task this time, all three of them would be responsible for one of the stores under the company. Whoever attained the best sales performance the next month would be crowned the champion. However, they were not allowed to request their friends or family members to make bulk orders. Only sales from free-will customers would be taken into account.

“You three may liaise with the store managers, or you may take care of the store in person. Ultimately, the three of you have the right to do anything in the store. The total sales next month will be the deciding factor.”

All three of them, including Anastasia, blindly picked a store. Since she had decided to participate in the competition, she wouldn’t give up that easily.

“Anastasia, I dare you to not rely on President Presgrave’s influence and compete with us fair and square.”

“I would have accepted the position if I were to rely on his influence, no?” Anastasia refuted.

“Anastasia, what in the world did you do to make President Presgrave treat you so differently? Could it be that you are hooking up with him?” Alice sneered in disdain.

Anastasia merely looked at the other woman coldly without saying a word. Upon hearing that, Felicia tried to make peace between them. “Alright, we are all colleagues. Please speak to each other politely.”

In the end, Alice tossed the documents on the table and announced, “Anastasia, I won’t lose to you!” With that, she arrogantly left the scene.

After Anastasia returned to her office, she received a call from her father. When Francis heard that she wouldn’t be bringing her son along, he asked, “Why aren’t you bringing Jared?”

“Dad, there are many people at the banquet. I’m worried that Jared would wander off. Besides, I’ve made arrangements for him.”

“Alright. Since you have made arrangements, just leave him at home, then.” Ever since the incident when Jared had been lost, Francis dared not show the slightest negligence when it came to the matter about the kid.
