Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 384

Chapter 384 People Who Are Handsome Look Alike

Elliot was stunned. “Shouldn’t you have dealt with your own client by yourself?”

“Nope! I was told by Felicia that the client was initially Aliona’s to deal with when I confronted and asked her about that earlier, but since my design caught the client’s eye, I was asked to take over the negotiation. Shortly after that, I was kidnapped by Riley’s henchmen at the rendezvous, which was a café where I was supposed to meet the client.” Anastasia’s eyes were filled with puzzlement. “How did they know I was going to show up at that café and park in that specific spot?”

Elliot frowned and replied, “Aliona is the illegitimate daughter of my late father’s good friend, Lucas Dora, He raised her abroad. While Lucas is a respected senior to me, I heard from my grandma that they were close to each other in their youth.”

“She is Lucas’ illegitimate daughter?” Anastasia knitted her eyebrows, although she had no contempt for Aliona.

“Lucas told me to take good care of Aliona, but I promise I’m going to investigate the matter with your client.” Elliot didn’t want to take any chances and put Anastasia in danger.

“Alright.” Anastasia nodded, feeling hungry just as she looked at the clock and realized it was lunchtime. “There is a restaurant nearby. We can have lunch together, but you need to go back and do your work when we’re done, okay?” Anastasia asked as if she couldn’t wait for him to be gone.

In the face of the lady’s reluctant look, Elliot smiled bitterly and said, “Alright, I’ll leave when we’re done with our lunch.”

As the two of them left, Alex was watching them through the window in the office on the third floor. As he stared at Elliot’s car while the man drove away, Alex clenched his fists because Anastasia no longer seemed to be the same person he had always known.

I guess Erica’s right; Anastasia only has eyes for rich men. It’s no wonder she doesn’t even bother looking at me.

Upon arrival at the restaurant, Anastasia made several detailed remarks when placing orders for Elliot’s meal, which indirectly revealed her subconscious concern for the man. At the same time, Elliot seemed especially happy with Anastasia’s reaction, his eyes filled with tenderness and love.

As soon as the waiter left the lounge, Anastasia turned her attention to the man and happened to meet his gaze, noticing his smiling face that was looking at her. In that instant, Anastasia paused in a trance for a few seconds just as she felt like she had been enchanted by his charming and magical eyes.

“Stop looking at me like that.” Anastasia blocked her face.

“What’s wrong? Can’t I look at my future wife?” Elliot chuckled.
