Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 444

Chapter 444 The Dog That Bites Its Owner

“Hey, Anastasia. There you are! The meeting will be in conference room No. 3.”

“Alright. Thank you.” Anastasia nodded with a smile and walked into Francis’ office after that.

Seeing that she was here, Francis took the documents and stood up. “Let’s go.”

Just when the both of them exited the office, Erica and Hayley appeared. When Anastasia saw Hayley, her gaze dimmed. Why is she here?

“Dad, I want to attend the meeting too.” Erica then continued angrily, “Why did you inform her but not me?”

However, Francis did not intend for Erica to come, so he muttered, “Don’t make a scene here, Erica. Bring your friend to rest somewhere else!”

“Dad, you leave for the meeting first. I’ll be there in a short while,” Anastasia then said.

Francis had to oblige since the time for the meeting was approaching. “Come quickly,” he hurried her before walking to the conference room.

After Francis left, Anastasia immediately stared coldly at Hayley and asked, “Why are you in my dad’s company?”

“Erica brought me here,” Hayley replied, her brows raised.

“That’s right. I brought her here! Can’t I even bring my friend here now?” Erica asked aggressively.

Being Erica’s half-sister, Anastasia tried to kindly warn Erica, “Don’t be with such a person in the future.”

“Do you think you are better than me, Anastasia? What gives you the right to say that?” Anastasia’s words enraged Hayley. She was in such a pathetic state now all because of this woman.

Anastasia only responded with a cold stare. “At the very least, unlike you, a dog that bites its owner, I have a conscience.”

Hayley understood what she was hinting at. Gritting her teeth in rage, she replied, “You’ve no right to humiliate me, Anastasia. I merely did some foolish things.”

“The lounge is there, Hayley. You can wait for me there. I’ll check out the situation in the conference room now.”

“Sure thing.” Hayley nodded as she watched Erica leaving for the conference room. She wasn’t in a hurry anyway, so she roamed around the company.

As she stood beside the guardrails, reading the advertisement brochure on the wall, a man’s hand was suddenly placed on her shoulder. “Why aren’t you in the conference room yet, Anastasia?”

Feeling shocked, she turned around, startling the man behind her as well. Alex, too, was surprised to see this lady who looked like Anastasia.

Then, he realized that he had gotten the wrong person.

“I’m sorry. I mistook you for someone else,” he apologized while staring at Hayley. She did resemble Anastasia, even though she lacked Anastasia’s elegance when observed closely.

Hayley, on the other hand, recognised Alex as the finance manager Erica had mentioned, and she found him quite attractive.
