Night of Destiny
My Babyâs Daddy Chapter 20
âMiss Tillman, Iâm here to customize jewelry for my motherâs birthday next month, and I was thinking of
ordering a set of jewelry for her.â John wasnât in need of money, and he wanted more excitement, so he
didnât mind forking money out for Anastasia.
Anastasia naturally wouldnât reject a business opportunity given to her, so she instructed, âGrace, please
get us coffee and a fruit platter.â
After Grace left, Johnâs gaze quickly landed on Anastasia again.
âPresident Curtis, may I know if your mother has any particular interest in the shape or color of the
jewelry? Does she prefer jade or crystal other than a diamond?â
âDiamonds will do. Itâs better if itâs bigger and more expensive,â John answered in a straightforward
manner while Anastasia pursed her lips and smiled. âSure. Iâll come up with a draft for your design and
send it over to your motherâs house three days later. What do you think about that?â
âSince this is a present from me for my mother, itâs better to keep things secretive. Why donât you come
to me after youâre done with the draft?â A cunning look flashed past Johnâs eyes while Anastasia was
checking a document with her head lowered. âSure, President Curtis. Iâll contact you once Iâm done.â
âSure. Iâm fine with that. Are you free later at noon? Why donât we go have lunch together?â
Nevertheless, Anastasia wasnât a fool and knew that John was trying to hit on her. Still, there was no way
that sheâd reject a business opportunity, so she nodded and uttered, âSure. I know a nice restaurant just
in front of my company. I shall make a reservation for two.â
John nodded in satisfaction. âMiss Tillman, Iâll be waiting for your break, then!â
âWhy donât you wait in the lounge? Itâs much quieter there.â Anastasia gave the man a suggestion before
sending him off.
After dealing with John, she made a report to Felicia while Felicia made sure to tell Anastasia to secure
the deal with John, seeing how theyâd profit a lot from the set of
When Anastasia went to get lunch with John during the afternoon, John took the opportunity to brag
about his finance and assets as well as his company, while
Anastasia acted as if she was shocked and awed.
After the meal, she made an excuse, saying that she had a meeting and wanted to leave, cutting John
short and leaving him with no choice but to send her back to Bourgeois.
When Anastasia went back, she sighed in relief before returning to her office to continue working
On the other hand, Elliot took his phone and contacted someone in his presidentâs office.
âHey, Elliot! Why are you contacting me?â A manâs chirpy voice rang out.
âDo you know Anastasia Tillman?â Elliot went straight to the point.
âHow do you know?â Nigel asked in a surprised manner.
âSheâs an employee at my company. I ran into her yesterday at the jewelry exhibition and noticed that
she came in using your name.â
âOh! Looks like youâve really acquired QR Jewelry Group! Anyway, itâs true that Anastasia and I are close
friends with each other.â Nigel admitted truthfully before he chuckled and asked, âHow was she? Sheâs
really pretty, isnât she?â
âAre you trying to pursue her?â
âSheâs not an easy one to pursue, though. Iâve been trying to go after her for three years already, but I
still havenât succeeded, so I can only remain as her close friend!â Nigel answered helplessly.
Despite that, Elliotâs facial expression was still dark. âHow did you get to know her?â
âRemember the accident when my car flipped three years ago? She was the person who saved me. If
she hadnât dragged me out of my car, I would have died along with the car explosion.â
Of course, Elliot could still remember the terrifying car accident that Nigel had back then. Nigel had
brushed path with the grim reaper briefly as the car that he was in exploded right after he left.
Nevertheless, Elliot didnât expect Anastasia to be the person that saved Nigel back then. Is this fated?
This would mean that the Presgraves owe the Tillmans a favor.
âElliot, Iâll be returning soon. By that time, Iâll work at Bourgeois as well so that I can accompany her.â
âStop messing around. Youâre coming back to inherit your familyâs business, not to pursue after girls,â
Elliot reprimanded.
âWell, youâll have to help me out to take care of her in the company, then.â Nigel could only reply to him
this way.
When Elliot placed his phone down, he had a conflicted look on his handsome face. Looks like Nigel,
Grandmaâs favorite grandson, is pursuing Anastasia too.
Three days later, Anastasiaâs draft was given the green light by Felicia, and it was ready to be given to
John.
âGood day, President Curtis. Iâve come out with a draft already. May I know when youâll be free so that I
can deliver them to you?â Anastasia asked John.
âHey! Iâm sorry, but Iâm still rushing back from my business trip right now, and Iâll only reach around
7.00PM. What about this? Why donât you send the draft over to my place around 8.00PM at night?â
âUm ⦠At night?â Anastasia immediately got alerted.
