My Baby’s Daddy - Season 2 Episode 21

Hayley finally felt a little safer. My scheme worked perfectly, and I managed to enter without having to sneak in. “This is my first time coming to a place like this, and I don’t know anyone. Can I stay with you, Elliot?” Hayley knew that the most eye-catching spot she could take would be the one beside Elliot, which would make her his female partner. She wanted to stay by his side so that other women wouldn’t get a chance with him.

Elliot knew that Hayley grew up in a regular family, and he knew that she wasn’t familiar with such places. “Okay. Bring a drink over, and you can stay with me,” he said with a nod.

“Okay!” Hayley walked off happily. She glanced at her surroundings in search of Anastasia, but she couldn’t find her anywhere as there were too many guests.

Meanwhile, Anastasia was sitting by a window seat near the buffet area. Right then, a male guest who was in his thirties walked over and sat next to Anastasia. “Hey there. I don’t have a spot to sit, so can I sit here?”

“Sure!” Anastasia looked up and smiled. The man’s eyes lit up the moment he saw her smile-he had noticed her gorgeous figure earlier, and he could tell that she was a pretty lady. However, he was immediately blown away when he saw her smiling. The man’s heart pounded as he realized what he wanted to do-he wanted to get to know her and chase after her. “My name is Samuel Stone. And you are?” he asked.

“I’m Anastasia Tillman,” she replied..

“That’s a really pretty name, Miss Tillman. Are you here alone?” he asked.

“Yeah! I’m with a friend, but he’s busy now, so I’m alone,” she replied.

“That’s such a coincidence. I’m the general manager of First World Company, and I’m involved in the asset transaction business.” He handed her his name card while speaking. He was considered successful for his age, and Anastasia eyed him with a surprised look after hearing what he said. “That’s really impressive! You’re already a general manager at such a young age.”

“You’re being too nice. What do you do, Miss Tillman?”

“I’m a jewelry designer,” she replied.

“Woah. You must be really talented.” Samuel found himself more attracted to her. She wasn’t just a pretty face; she was also a designer.

Right then, Anastasia’s phone began to ring. She glanced at her phone before picking it up. “Hello, Nigel.”

“Hey, Anastasia. My Dad’s making me talk to guests, but I promise to come and get you in ten minutes,” he uttered.

“Don’t worry about it. You should focus on entertaining the guests,” Anastasia said in an understanding tone.

“Ah! I’m so annoyed, but my dad wants to introduce me to more people. It’s giving me a

headache,” he grumbled.

“You shouldn’t think of it that way! Tons of people would love to have such connections. You should spend time with these guests since they’ll be really helpful for your work.” Anastasia tried to comfort him.

“Yeah. I feel a lot better after listening to your voice. Where are you now?” he asked.

“I’m eating at the buffet area,” she replied.

“Okay. I’ll come to look for you in a while,” he replied. After Anastasia ended Nigel’s call, she looked up to see a couple walking in. It was Elliot and Hayley. Anastasia narrowed her eyes when she saw Hayley as she hadn’t expected Hayley to come. Furthermore, she hadn’t expected Hayley to come with Elliot. A cold smirk spread across Anastasia’s face as she thought, Hayley’s scheming skills must have improved, huh? She’s good at using manipulative tactics, but she’s even able to apply them to Elliot now. Impressive.

Anastasia looked away, and her eyes met Samuel’s. He was staring at her with a look of admiration on his face. She gave him a cheerful smile, and he felt his heart rate doubling instantly. He felt like he was about to get a heart attack. “You’re so pretty, Miss Tillman!” he said.

“Thank you.” She gave him a polite smile.

Elliot had walked over with Hayley for a meal, but his focus had been shifted the moment he saw the woman by the window. He narrowed his icy gaze when he saw Anastasia beaming at the man in front of her. They looked like they were having a fun time talking to each other.

“Let’s find a spot to sit down, Elliot!” Hayley looked around her surroundings, and she immediately caught sight of Anastasia. The table beside Anastasia’s had just gotten up to leave, so Hayley quickly grabbed Elliot’s arm and led him over. “There’s a spot there,” she uttered daringly.
