Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 380

Chapter 380 Elliot’s Determination

“No, that’s not what I meant. Since you’re both Mr. Tillman’s daughters, that naturally puts the two of you on an equal footing,” Alex immediately explained himself.

“Where is my father, Mr. Hunter?”

“He is currently meeting up with a client.”

“Keep me in the loop about everything regarding the company, Mr. Hunter. I wish to be involved in my father’s business,” Erica ordered the man.

Although he was disgusted by the lady deep down, Alex forced himself to react with a smile and nodded. “Sure.”

“Well, I’d like to get going.” Anastasia refused to stay there any longer with Erica.

“Anastasia, I have orders from Mr. Tillman to show you around the company.” Alex wasn’t about to let Anastasia walk away like that.

“I’m coming along too,” Erica desperately said.

“Let’s go.” Anastasia nodded and left with Alex just as Erica grabbed her purse and caught up to them. However, by the time she headed downstairs, she saw Alex’s car setting off without waiting for her, which irritated her so much that she stomped on the ground repeatedly in exasperation.

“You son of a b*tch, Alex! How dare you ignore my presence?! I’ll make sure you pay for that!”

In fact, Alex had intentionally left Erica behind in an attempt to gain Anastasia’s favor, but it was only after they hit the road that he noticed the lady’s preoccupied look as she set her eyes outside the window. “Is there something that’s bothering you, Anastasia?”

“Oh, it’s nothing.” Anastasia shook her head just when raindrops started to fall from the cloudy sky. As the rain became heavier and heavier, Alex suggested that they should stop by a nearby café until the rain cleared up before they continued their journey.

“Okay,” Anastasia agreed, refusing to put both their lives at risk due to the rainy weather. Alex then drove to a café, whereupon both of them quickly entered the place and took shelter.

Soon, lightning struck the sky outside the window as the deafening thunder roared across the city. Meanwhile, Elliot paused when he was about to sign his documents in his office at Presgrave Group. At that moment, Anastasia’s fearful look when she heard the thunder sprang to his mind; this prompted him to reach for his phone to send a text message. ‘Where are you?’ However, when he didn’t get a reply after ten minutes, he began to lose his patience and asked himself whether the lady had forgotten about him. Therefore, he decided to directly call her.

On the other hand, Anastasia set her eyes on her phone’s screen, frowning while she wondered why the man wouldn’t stop bothering her.

“Why aren’t you picking up the call?” Alex asked.
