Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 84

Chapter 84

On Thursday, Anastasia had taken a half-day leave and moved all of her luggage from the apartment to her new place with Francis’ help. While Francis went to pick Jared up, she started decorating the house in peace. Since there was a mall downstairs that allowed Anastasia to get all her daily necessities, everything was progressing smoothly.

At night, she cooked and made them a hearty meal. From now onward, they had a place where they belonged within the city.

“Dad, how’s your company’s growth recently?” Anastasia asked curiously.

“Everything is progressing smoothly! We’ve recently gotten a deal that can give us about 100 million in profit if we are able to get our hands on the project.”

Hearing that, Anastasia felt happy for Francis. Seeing how Francis wasn’t getting any younger, he would be apprehensive if the company’s operation wasn’t smooth.

Suddenly, Francis looked at Anastasia and asked in all seriousness, “Anastasia, are you planning to continue your venture in the designing field forever? Have you never thought of learning how to manage a company?”

Immediately, Anastasia caught onto what Francis was implying. Does he want me to take over his company? I guess he’s anxious now that he’s almost reaching his sixties.

“I don’t think I’m good at that, Dad,” Anastasia replied in a self-deprecating manner.

“Well, at least you’re more mature than Erica, and I’d feel more relieved if the company is in your hands,” Francis explained truthfully, as Erica had been completely spoiled by Naomi and didn’t know how to do anything other than spending his money.

“You’re still young, though. Why don’t you decide again in two years, Dad? I’d still have to wait until Jared gets bigger before I have the time to help you out anyway,” Anastasia suggested after pondering for a moment.

Although Francis was just asking, he was still happy to know that Anastasia had plans to help him out. “Alright. I’ll manage the company for two more years before I make the decision to let you take over the company, then.”

– At this moment, Anastasia looked up at Francis and noticed his graying sideburns

before realizing that her father was really starting to get older now.

On the other hand, Hayley had invited Alice, Anastasia’s competitor this time, to have a meal at a restaurant. Then, she told Alice about how Anastasia was already set to be the winner of the International Jewelry Design Competition this time.
