NIGHT OF DESTINY NOVEL BY VANESSA K - Season 3 Episode 12

Anastasia’s face instantly turned pale. Then, she picked up a folder on the desk and threw it at Erica’s

face.

“Ah…” It hurt so bad that Erica cried out in pain. The sharp corner of the folder scratched her face,

leaving an obvious scar.

“Ouch! My face! My face…” Erica cherished her face dearly. Even though blood wasn’t oozing out of

the scratch, she felt devastated.

When Elliot came out of the elevator, he realized he was too late; Anastasia was already teaching Erica

a lesson.

“Stop it, Anastasia,” ordered Elliot in a low voice. The woman needed to be disciplined sometimes, and

Elliot feared that she would ruin her own reputation by going too far.

The other ladies at the front desk had been watching the fun, but once they saw the president, they

shivered and quickly retreated to the back.

Nonetheless, Anastasia ignored the man as he came to persuade her. She stared at Erica and said,

“Do you swear that every insult you’ve spread about me is real?”

“Yes, I swear!” Erica yelled.

“Alright, go on and swear that every word you’ve said is true. If there’s even one fabricated lie, you’ll be

hit by a car once you exit the building!” Anastasia was so furious that she couldn’t behave rationally

anymore.

“I… I…” Erica dared not do so. Just like everyone else, she was afraid of karma. What if the heavens

punished her for this?

Upon hearing that, Elliot stared at Erica coldly. When he saw that she stuttered for a long time and

didn’t dare to swear on her life, he realized that she must have made up those stories about Anastasia.

“You don’t dare to swear on your life, do you?!”

“You ruined my face! I’m going to tell Mom and Dad!” Erica instantly held onto this matter. After all, her

face was still burning from the scratch just now!

“Erica Tillman, just resign on your own and head to the HR department right now. We don’t need

people who talk nonsense in the company.” Elliot’s cold gaze swept across Erica.

The woman shuddered in response. She glanced at the handsome man in front of her as she couldn’t

believe that he had fired her on the spot.

That b*tch, Anastasia Tillman!

Erica scolded in her heart. She was going to seek revenge on her one day!

After grabbing her bag, she stomped out of the lobby while feeling aggrieved. She didn’t even bother

going through her resignation process with the HR department.

Anastasia was like a fiery rose with thorns all over her body. When her gaze swept across the other

ladies at the front desk, they quivered in panic and fear. After all, they were afraid that they would get

involved too. What if Elliot decided to fire them all?

“Miss Tillman, we didn’t talk bad about you…”

“That’s right. Erica was the only one who spread the rumors. We…”

Of course, Anastasia knew that they were also involved in disseminating such rumors. However, since

it was all Erica’s fault, she didn’t want to say anything more. Instead, she turned on her heels and left

the building because she needed some time alone.

Elliot squinted his eyes and immediately followed her out of the building, fearing that she would do

something unthinkable as she wasn’t in her right mind.

Indeed, Anastasia wasn’t completely herself. She raised her head to look at the green pedestrian light

across her, but just as she stepped onto the pedestrian crossing, the lights instantly turned red.

Fortunately, a strong arm gripped her and pulled her back to the side of the road. A frustrated and

angry voice sounded beside her ears as Elliot yelled, “Are you trying to die?!”

In response, she looked up at the man while mocking herself, “Didn’t you believe their nonsense too? I

worked as a hostess and have entertained many men. I’m a filthy woman, so don’t touch me if you

don’t want to dirty your hands.”

Elliot held both her thin shoulders while narrowing his eyes. Even though he knew that she was just

saying that out of anger, he was enraged upon hearing those words. He then scolded, “You’re not

allowed to give up on yourself!”

All of a sudden, Anastasia was spewing nonsense in front of him. Her clear and round eyes widened as

she uttered seriously, “I am filthy. Other men have touched me, so just go on and judge me however

you want to! I…”

Before she could finish her sentence, she felt a large palm holding the back of her head. Another hand

was clutching her waist, and the person’s minty lips covered her own.

Elliot kissed her.

They were currently standing beside the road full of traffic where people came and went. With that,

Elliot forced Anastasia into a kiss.
