Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 187

Chapter 187

“Jared, where did your mommy go?”

“Mommy has something else to do.”

And so, Nigel came to the conclusion that Anastasia had to work overtime, so she had brought Jared to the office, then had Elliot send Jared over to him. Nigel was certain that that was the truth.

At that moment, Anastasia was in a cab on the way to the hotel where her father’s company event would be held.

Her father’s company wasn’t exactly a large establishment, so the celebration this time was organized in a regular 5-star hotel.

The attendees of the event were not required to go through the hassle of registration before entering the venue. Anastasia saw a sign at the lobby that stated, ‘Attendees of

Tillman Construction’s banquet, please proceed to the third floor.

As soon as Anastasia exited from the lift, she followed the sign and arrived at a hall that was decorated with numerous tables and chairs. She saw her father standing among a few elderly men, and he looked radiant as he beamed gleefully. He seemed to be in high spirits as he raised his glass and chatted with the people around him.

“Dad!” Anastasia walked up to him and greeted him.

“Hey! This is my elder daughter, Anastasia.” Upon seeing her, Francis introduced her to his peers standing around him.

One of them couldn’t help but compliment, “Tillman, you are so lucky to have such a gorgeous daughter!”

“Not only does she have the looks, I heard that she is quite a capable lady as well,” another man praised.

Anastasia felt embarrassed upon hearing that. It seemed like her father had often mentioned her in front of his friends. Still, she was glad that she made her father proud.

“Good evening.” She smiled and greeted them.

Meanwhile, Francis was surveying the hall, seemingly looking for someone. Just then,

On the contrary, Anastasia remained calm and composed. She accompanied Alex to a table and smiled at him. “Mr. Hunter, I’ll help myself. You should go about with your things.”

Alex was personally trained by Francis to be his right-hand man. The latter even handed Alex the power over the most important department, which was the Finance Department. That night, Francis had the intention to set up Alex and his elder daughter, Anastasia. When Anastasia took over the company in the future, it would be much easier for her with Alex as her husband.

Francis had been cracking his head to keep his large business going when he had no son. Hence, the best way was to make Alex his son-in-law.

“Miss Tillman, I’ve often heard your father mentioning you. He said that you are a jewelry designer of a jewelry atelier. You are such a talented young woman.” Alex seemed embarrassed, but he was eager to present himself before the woman he had

fallen for at first sight.

“I’m just a designer. You are the one who is amazing!” Anastasia praised him. He was a valuable employee of her father, so she naturally treated him politely.

“You are flattering me, Miss Tillman. President Tillman thinks well of me, so he gave me the position,” Alex replied humbly.

Anastasia then turned to survey the other guests, but Alex couldn’t help but gaze fixedly at her. Her every movement seemed to capture his heart. It seemed that he had really fallen for Anastasia at first sight.
