Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 192

Chapter 192

“What is there to help out with?”

“Anastasia, help me take a look if the amount of wine here is correct or not. As you know, the employees in hotels can have less than desirable habits sometimes.” Naomi’s loud voice attracted the ire of nearby waiters.

Feeling extremely humiliated, Anastasia wished she wasn’t acquainted with the woman. In the end, she said calmly, “This is a five-star hotel, so no such thing would happen. Now, if there isn’t anything else, then I’ll be excusing myself first.”

After that, Anastasia was going to open the door and go out, but Naomi made a move to grab onto her. “Wait! Anastasia, I have something to say to you.”

Feeling slightly disgusted, Anastasia avoided her touch. “You can say whatever you want to without having to touch me.”

“Anastasia, you know that Erica has also bought a house recently, right? After your dad bought one for you, he insisted on buying one for her too. I couldn’t even persuade him not to do so,” Naomi said frustratingly.

Smirking deep down, Anastasia kept up a calm façade as she countered, “That’s between you people. You don’t need to tell me that.”

“Of course I have to tell you that! Do you know how hard it is for your father to be the sole breadwinner of the family? On top of that, the company isn’t going through its best period recently, so don’t disturb him if you don’t have much going on. Also, don’t try to borrow money from him these days. Just try to spend within your means.” Everything that Naomi said pointed to one message-Anastasia had better not further spend any of Francis’ money.

Even if Naomi did not state this, Anastasia knew all this herself.

“Your dad hasn’t been sleeping all that well these nights. I think it might be due to the stress.”

The guilt started to well up within Anastasia, as the house that her dad bought for her did cost a pretty penny. Maybe Dad really is quite stressed nowadays.

“Anastasia, I heard from your father that you’re now working under Young Master Elliot, right? Could I trouble you to ask if he’s still hiring? Erica is also hoping to land a job in his company,” Naomi immediately murmured.

Upon hearing that, Anastasia sneered deep down as she could see right through Naomi’s little trick. I think she just wants Erica to get close to Elliot!

With that thought, she then opened the door and looked to the great hall. As expected, Erica had already made herself comfortable on Anastasia’s original seat beside Elliot.

Hearing the footsteps, Elliot finally drew his gaze from his phone, He coincidentally saw Anastasia sitting down together with a man opposite him. It was the same man that was chatting happily along with her just now.

“President Presgrave, this is Mr. Alex Hunter. He’s responsible for the financial department in my dad’s company.” Then, she continued, “And this is my company’s boss, Mr. Elliot Presgrave.”

“Hello, Mr. Presgrave,” Alex courteously greeted.

“Hello.” Raising his eyebrows slightly, Elliot gave off a feeling of a successful man that nobody at the venue could match up to.

“Anastasia, have you seen Mr. Presgrave at the company before?” Erica asked smilingly, as she thought that a normal employee wouldn’t have any chances to catch a glimpse of the boss.

Anastasia sneered in response. “President Presgrave is extremely busy. How would I be able to see him?”

Meanwhile, Elliot was looking at Anastasia with his deep gaze as she spun tales. At that instant, he could not help the loving smile that played on his lips.
