Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 666

“When is the press conference?” Anastasia asked.

“Next Saturday.” Larry replied dutifully.

“I’ll be there,” she promised with a nod.

He beamed as he added, “I’m sure the Bourgeois team will be happy to have you at the helm of the business.”

She smiled. “Well, in that case, I look forward to hearing more of your business strategies and having you show me the ropes, Vice President Young.”

While this was happening, Elliot was in his office at Presgrave Group, sifting through the documents piled up on his desk when he came across a resume. He opened the folder and frowned slightly. It was Lorelai’s resume, and she was applying not for an important position, but for an analyst job advertised by the finance department in one of his

subsidiaries in the country.

However, as it was against the rules to employ members of the Presgraves’ extended family, Elliot had no choice but to reject her job application. He decided that he would personally recommend her to some other company instead.

Seeing the number she had written at the very top of her resume, he grabbed his phone and called her.

“Hello?” Lorelai greeted on the other line.

“Hey, Lorelai, it’s Elliot here. I just saw your resume and I believe an analyst job is far beneath your capabilities,” he said in a gravelly tone.

Lorelai said earnestly, “Elliot, if you’ve read my resume, you would know that I don’t care about the job as much as I do about getting into your company.”

“I can recommend you to another company that happens to be hiring, and I think you’d be a good fit for the job,” Elliot said firmly.

She paused for a few seconds before pressing, “I’m actually in the area right

now. Is it okay if I head to your office for a quick chat, Elliot? I don’t think I’ve ever seen it in person before.”

“Oh, good, you’re here. Have a seat,” Elliot said, gesturing toward the matching couch across from him.

“This place is humungous, and that view outside is absolutely stunning!” She was never one to hold back on compliments, and the words flowed smoothly off her tongue as she flashed him a smile.

Elliot handed her a docket of information and said, “That’s the financial company I was telling you about. The president happens to be a friend of mine. I already put in a word for you, and he said you could start working immediately without having to go through an interview.”

“You pulled strings for me? Wow, I’m honored!” she exclaimed. Taking the docket, she leafed through the company profile and the position they were offering her, then looked up with bright eyes as she asked, “They’re going to make me supervisor?”

He nodded. “You’re qualified for it.”

“That’s so nice of you to say,” Lorelai said with a sweet smile, admiration glittering in her eyes.

Elliot’s gaze fell upon the document on the coffee table as he said, “You can start work next Monday.”
