Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 305

Chapter 305 Waiting for Something to Happen

Anastasia started blaming herself at that point. “It is my fault for neglecting Dad’s health. Mr. Hunter, you have to let me know firsthand if something were to happen to my father.”

“President Tillman didn’t let me tell you because he didn’t want you to worry.” Alex had a hopeful glint in his eyes. “Miss Tillman, please be ready to take over the company within these 2 years!”

She was immediately slammed with an overwhelming pressure after hearing his words. Taking over and managing her father’s company was something way out of her ability.

Alex’s passionate gaze continued to stay on her. “I will do my best to assist you, though.”

Then, he proceeded to tell her about the agenda of some of the company’s events and she made sure to listen to his every word. There were a lot of things she didn’t comprehend, but he patiently explained through it all and she also tried to understand it all with an open mind.

After the dinner, Alex walked beside her as they left the establishment. She was in a rush to return to her son and father. At this moment, her ringtone started going off. She could feel her heart skip a beat when she saw that it was a call from Elliot.

“Hello, President Presgrave. What is wrong?” she asked in a calm voice.

He didn’t answer her and instead threw her an abrupt question. “Where are you?”

“I am at—”

“Watch out, Anastasia.” Alex suddenly called out as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder to move her away from a swerving car.

She turned to look at him with grateful eyes, but the voice from the phone soon rang out again. “Who was the one talking next to you?”

As she wanted to pay full attention to her surroundings as she was walking on the road, she quickly answered, “I am hanging up, President Presgrave. I am going home now.”

There was a hint of jealousy in Alex’s eyes as he walked alongside Anastasia. In fact, he had intentionally made himself known to Elliot by speaking during the phone call. He wanted to sabotage the relationship that Anastasia and Elliot had between them.

At the same time, there was a handsome man standing in the corridor outside the private dining room of a high-end restaurant. He wore a gloomy expression as he stared at his phone. She must be on a date with a man, he thought in disappointment.

Then, Elliot went back into the dining room and apologized to the father and daughter, “Mr. Dora, Miss Dora, I am afraid I have to leave now to attend to an emergency. Let’s have a meal together some other time.”

“Elliot, are you not going to stay any longer?” Lucas glanced at him guiltily.

She swiftly pressed a button on her phone, and she pressed it to her ear. “Are you tailing him?”

“Miss Aliona, we are right behind.”

She couldn’t help but wonder what made Elliot suddenly decide to leave.

Anastasia was sitting in Alex’s car now as he drove her home. What she hadn’t realized was that there was a car heading in the same direction as her.

Elliot was in the backseat of his car as he loosened his necktie in an annoyed manner and barked at Rey driving the car, “Go faster.”

Rey obediently floored the gas and he started to worry whether something had happened to Anastasia.

He stopped the car at the end of the street at her residential area, but Elliot only continued to sit in the car with an unreadable expression on his face. He seemed to be waiting for something to happen.

Alex’s car finally arrived at the same place after a few minutes. He even came out of the car to open the car door for Anastasia, who in turn, gave him a grateful smile. “Thank you, Mr. Hunter.”
