Chapter 27
Night of Destiny
My Babyâs Daddy Chapter 27
Another woman chimed in with a jealous tone, commenting, âWow, they really went all in! I bet itâs his
girlfriend! You know, the one who came to the company and got slapped by Anastasia?â
âI canât help but wonder about Anastasiaâs background, since she managed to get out unscathed after
hitting President Presgraveâs girlfriend.â
âI guess President Presgrave was unwilling to fire her because of how pretty she is.â
âDo you guys think that President Presgrave likes her?â
âIt is possible. Maybe her position in the company will change once she gets into his bed.â
âDamn! I want to have her beauty, too! President Presgrave wonât even spare any glances on ordinary
employees like us.â
Right then, Anastasia, who was still in the toilet, knew well that she was the person who left a hickey on
Elliotâs neck.
As for her possibly getting into his bed, she could give them a definite answer. Never! Never in a
thousand years!
After the group of gossip girls left, Anastasia came out of the toilet and returned to her office before her
landline rang.
âHello.â
âCome to my office for a while.â Elliotâs unique magnetic voice rang out.
Before Anastasia could say anything, he hung up, causing her to sigh as he was the person that she
didnât want to face the most today.
Maybe he has something to discuss with me regarding work. At the thought of that, she started heading
to the elevator.
When Anastasia reached the entrance of the presidentâs office, she knocked before entering the office to
see Elliot reading through a document on the couch. He glanced at her before he continued reading the
document.
âWhy did you look for me?â Anastasia asked.
âIs vour body alright now?â Elliot started scanning her up and down while Anastasia replied in a tense
manner, âIâm fine now. Thanks for asking.â
âDonât be so stubborn next time.â
She frowned. Did he ask me to come up here just to say these to me?
âYou donât have to worry about me, President Presgrave. Iâll head back to resume my work now.â
Then, Anastasia wanted to turn around and leave.
Suddenly, Elliot asked, âDo you like Nigel?â
Upon hearing that, Anastasia turned around abruptly. âWhatâs your relationship with Nigel?â
Despite that, Elliot refused to answer her and asked again, âDo you like him?â
Without any hesitation, Anastasia answered, âOf course I like him.â
Nigel had been a great help to her and Jared, so she had already thought of him as her closest best
friend. Nonetheless, she didnât notice that, because of her answer, the facial expression of the man
sitting on the couch behind her darkened. Slowly, a thoughtful look appeared on his emotionless face.
âThen, itâs better if you donât mention what happened last night to him,â Elliot gritted his teeth before
reminding her.
On the other hand, Anastasia was stunned. Why would I tell Nigel about something as private as this?
Still, I can now assume that Nigel and this man know each other.
âDonât worry. I wonât mention this to anyone for the rest of my life.â
Then, her gaze landed on the visible hickey on the manâs neck, right beneath his white shirt.
âLeave now then!â Elliot instructed coldly, as if he was trying to kick her out while she turned around and
left.
After the door was closed, the man on the couch closed his eyes and frowned.
During the meeting, Felicia praised Anastasia for being able to seal a deal worth two million while all the
other designers cheered on her despite being secretly jealous.
Meanwhile, at the Tillman Residence, Erica was eliminated from the modeling competition due to her
height. The young lady didnât have enough money to fuel her living expenses. As she was used to living
luxuriously, she had to rely on Naomi to support her financially, as Francis only gave her ten thousand
every month for her allowance.
âMom, can you find an excuse to get Dad to give me more allowance for the month? I got my eyes on a
Louis Vuitton bag, and I really want to have it for myself.â Erica pulled on Naomiâs hand and whined.
Unable to resist Ericaâs whining, Naomi stood up and said, âIâll go look around to see if your father left
any cash at home.â
After entering the master bedroom, she opened the safe where Francis usually kept his cash to see a
stack of cash in it, unsurprisingly. However, there was also a document file next to the stack of cash.
Curious, Naomi reached out for the file and skimmed through it before a shocked look appeared on her
face.
Hubby actually bought a commercial housing with two rooms and two living rooms in a high end
residence located in the city center that cost about 8 million without telling me about it? Could it be that
itâs for someone else other than us?
As expected, Naomi immediately got pissed off when she saw the ownership of the household.
The house was actually bought under Anastasiaâs name.
