Night of Destiny
Chapter 111
After the dishes were served, most of the staff members started drinking. They were all relatively young,
so they were prepared to get drunk that night-some of them had even hired personal drivers. âCheers,
Anastasia!â One of the male designers sitting opposite Anastasia stood up.
âSure. Thank you.â Anastasia held her glass up. She hadnât expected all of the other people to clink
glasses with her, but everyone was in a good mood that night, and they quickly turned Anastasia into
their target for drinking. âMore beer for Anastasia!â someone cried.
âYou have to drink with us, Anastasia! At least one sip!â another cried.
âEveryone else clinked glasses with you, Anastasia. Iâd feel bad if I didnât do it. Here, cheers!â another
one said.
Anastasia had only arrived at the company a while ago, so she felt pressured to go along with everyone,
especially since most of the staff there were seniors. She lost count of the number of beers she had by
the time she clinked glasses with everyone. âAlright, stop. Anastasia has to go home to care for her kid,
guys!â Felicia finally spoke up.
Everyone calmed down a little after that. Anastasia had already downed a few glasses even before she
got a chance to eat her meal, and she pressed her palm against her forehead as she felt herself getting
tipsy. âAre you okay, Anastasia?â someone asked.
âIâm feeling a little dizzy, so I might need to stop for a while.â Anastasia waved her hand before she
lowered her head and held her palms up to make a surrendering gesture. Right then, Feliciaâs phone
began to ring. She only took one glance at the caller ID before she instantly picked the call up. âHello,
President Presgrave.â
âAre you guys eating now? Is Anastasia there?â the man asked in a deep voice.
âOf course sheâs here. This dinner is meant to be a celebration for her. Would you like to join us,
President Presgrave?â Felicia asked with a smile.
âNo, thanks.â Elliot was just asking.
âThe rest of them got Anastasia to drink quite a bit, so sheâs rather tipsy now. I think I might have to send
her home in a while,â Felicia explained.
âSheâs drunk?â There was a hint of anxiousness in Elliotâs voice.
âAre you free to pick her up, President Presgrave?â Felicia asked.
âSure. Send me your location,â he ordered.
âAlright!â Felicia sent Elliot her location right after ending the call. When she turned to gaze at Anastasia,
who was sitting near the drinks, a hint of jealousy surfaced in her gaze. Felicia could tell that Elliot truly
cared about Anastasia after speaking to him on the phone. Yet, Anastasia didnât know a single thing
about this-she was resting her chin on her palm while watching two other male staff play drinking games.
âYou should eat a little more, Anastasia. Iâll get you home in a while,â Felicia said. Anastasia
nodded and began to munch on a few of her favorite dishes. However, her stomach was full from all the
alcohol. She didnât feel anything when she was drinking earlier, but the tipsiness was starting to hit her
after a while. :
She had just stood up to walk to the washroom when she was struck by a pang of dizziness. She felt as
if she were stepping on clouds, and she couldnât stand straight at all. âHow are you feeling, Anastasia?
Are you really drunk?â Felicia hastily held onto her arm.
âItâs fine. Iâm not drunk. Iâm not.â Anastasia waved her arms around. Those who were drunk were
especially stubborn-she insisted on claiming that she was still sober. Felicia ordered one of her
assistants to help Anastasia to the washroom. Anastasia had just returned from the washroom when
Felicia received a text from Elliot.
âBring her out.â His orders were simple.
âGot it. Weâll come out in a bit, she replied. Right after that, Felicia turned to Anastasia before informing
her of the plan. âIâll get someone to send you home now, Anastasia.â
âSure!â Anastasia nodded. I should go home now. I need to sober up-how else am I going to take care of
my son otherwise? But Anastasia didnât know who her driver was and simply assumed that Felicia had
gotten one of the companyâs drivers to send her home.
Felicia helped Anastasia out of the restaurant, and Anastasia quickly noticed a sleek, black Rolls Royce
parked by the side of the road. Its black paint looked extra shiny under the light, and its classy and
elegant design made it stand out among the rest of the cars. The car stood out just like how its owner
did.
Anastasia allowed Felicia to help her into the backseat of the car. At this point, Anastasia still assumed
that a driver from the company would be the one sending her home. After Felicia shut the car door,
Anastasia turned to address the driver in a polite tone. âHello. You can send me to Shorea Residence on
Durkham Street. Thank you.â
