NIGHT OF DESTINY NOVEL BY VANESSA K - Season 3 Episode 22

“I bet you work nearby! I’m at Crystal Enterprise. What about you?”

“I’m at Bourgeois Jewelry Atelier.”

“Wow! We work next to each other!” the man exclaimed.

Anastasia looked out the window and happened to see the Crystal Enterprise building right outside.

With that, she smiled. “Yeah! I can see your office building from where I’m at!”

“In that case, I’ll wait for you in front of your office building at around eleven-thirty. Just come down by

then.”

“Thank you so much!”

“No worries.”

With that, she hung up and returned to the conference room. After the meeting, Felicia leaned over with

a smile. “You should treat the guy to lunch, no?”

Anastasia nodded at that. “That’s the plan.”

“He sounds like a handsome young man! I wonder if he actually is,” Felicia teased.

Anastasia, too, thought the young man sounded amiable. She bet he must be the aspirant, hard-

working type. She had gone down and waited at eleven-twenty for the guy to come, glad that she encountered a stranger who would return her phone.

Just then, a cab pulled over at the entrance, and Anastasia looked up to find a guy in a plaid shirt

coming out. He was a six-foot tall, handsome young man with a clean temperament and an affable

look. He was stumped for a few seconds, for he saw Anastasia right as he looked up. With that, he

blinked and asked with a smile, “Are you Miss Tillman?”

“Yes, that’s me.” Anastasia nodded and smiled.

At that, he pulled her phone out of his bag and handed it to her. “Here you go. You should check and

see if there’s any damage. I’ve put it in my bag all this while.”

Anastasia was touched. Of course, she wasn’t going to check because she was already thankful to get

her phone back.

“Thank you so much. If you’re not in a hurry, why don’t I treat you to lunch?”

“Please, call me Oliver. I’m a programmer, and I have to rush back for a meeting. So I’ll have to turn

down your offer. But I hope we can be friends.” Oliver Shaw scratched his head, clearly a little flustered

talking to a gorgeous lady.

“Sure. Let’s exchange numbers. Do let me treat you to a meal sometime,” Anastasia said

enthusiastically.

After exchanging their contacts, Anastasia saw him off to the cab before returning to the lobby. She had

to admit Oliver left a great impression on her.

What was more, she had a thing for clean, refreshing-looking guys since she was little.

As soon as she returned to her office, her intercom rang, and she answered it. “Hello, Anastasia

speaking. Who is this on the line?”

“Come to my office.” A magnetic voice unique to Elliot sounded on the other end.

However, Anastasia didn’t want to see him. “I’m busy with work, President Presgrave. You can tell me

on the phone.”

“I need to talk to you about something in person.”

“You can just tell me what it is, President.” Anastasia spoke with aloofness.

“I’ll go to your place for dinner tonight.” Elliot cut to the chase.

“I’ve decided to take Jared out for dinner tonight.”

“I’ll go with you guys then.”

“I’d like it to be just me and my son.”

“Let me treat you guys.”

“No, thanks.” With that, she wanted to end the call, but Elliot said, “I want to let you know that I’ll be on

a business trip for a week.”

His words took Anastasia aback for a few seconds. He’s going to be away for a week? Great, I don’t

have to see his face for one whole week!

“Shouldn’t you be telling Hayley this instead of me, President Presgrave? Surely she will miss you,”

Anastasia reminded indifferently.

“And you won’t?” he asked.

“No,” Anastasia answered without a second thought. After all, she had decided to stay away from him

once and for all.



“Heartless.” With that, he hung up, and his reaction got her stumped for a few seconds.

At three in the afternoon, Anastasia decided to leave work early to pick her son up.

When she arrived at the kindergarten, the gates were still closed, so she waited aside. Unfortunately,

the friendly mother from last time bumped into her and approached her.

“Hi, Miss Tillman. You’re early today! Is your husband not with you?”
