Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 239

Chapter 239 We Need to Talk

However, Hayley had only warned Anastasia to stay away from Elliot.

Anastasia was more than happy to oblige, but Elliot simply wouldn’t leave her alone. As things were, she was at her wits’ end trying to shake him off.

Initially, she thought it was a brilliant plan to have a fling with another man so that Elliot would see that she was taken and back off, but having heard his very ominous warning just now, she was starting to have second thoughts. If Elliot made good on his threats and decided to go berserk, the men whom she had taken advantage of for the sake of a tactical fling would become sacrificial lambs.

At that moment, her phone chimed with a new message. She picked it up and saw that it was a text from Alex which read, ‘Miss Tillman, will you be dropping by the company to see how things are anytime soon?’

It was only upon reading this that she remembered she had promised Francis to drop by the company and check things out. A while had passed since then, yet she still had not gotten around to it.

‘How about this Saturday? I’ll try to clear my schedule.’

‘Friday might be better; we don’t work on Saturdays.’

‘Oh, right. Well, Friday it is. I’ll see you at my dad’s company,’ she replied.

‘Very well, Miss Tillman. I’ll see you then.’

After the conversation ended, Anastasia suddenly recalled the matter of Francis’ company getting acquired. She wondered how that was going. If Dad hasn’t said anything about it, does it mean that the acquisition won’t be happening?

She was still deep in thought when she heard the sound of keys turning outside the door. Jared had returned from his evening stroll, and his little face was flushed and glistening with sweat following the exercise.

“Time to shower up and go to bed,” Anastasia said. It was already 9.40PM, and it was a school day tomorrow. She stood up from the couch and added stoically, “President Presgrave, you ought to be getting home now that it’s so late at night.”

Elliot was drinking when he heard this and choked. As he coughed, he turned to look at the cold and unfeeling woman that he was so in love with.
