Night of Destiny (Anastasia Tillman)

Chapter 233 ShowSRespect “That was a sports car worth a few million! If | had caused so much as a scratch on it, | could kiss my car and money goodbye,” Anastasia replied, knowing well about the risk.

Elliot was rendered speechless. “Screw that. Just drive like you're supposed to. I'll pay for the damage if the worst comes to the worst.” His face darkened before he asked the lady on the inside if she had forgotten who was sitting right next to her.

Oh, con, I'm someone who is going to ensure everything turns out as a success for her. Has she really forgotten who is sitting beside her now? “What's wrong? Are you getting scared of being my passenger?” Anastasia chuckled in irony.

Although Elliot felt helpless about the lady’s mischief, he somehow felt happy on the inside because no one else had made him feel so relaxed in a while. When they stopped at the traffic light, Anastasia turned to the man and said, “President Presgrave, there is a box of tissue paper that they gave as a gift. Could you please givetwo pieces of tissue paper? Thank you.” Elliot then reached for the box and gave the lady two pieces of tissue paper. With sweat covering her forehead, Anastasia immediately grabbed them and wiped her forehead just as the man sitting next to her chuckled at the sight of her rare true self.

Not long after that, Anastasia anxiously drove her car to the basement car park at Bourgeois. With Elliot's guidance, she successfully parked her car in the VIP lot, which was among the lots where Elliot usually parked his car in.

“This is going to be your parking lot from now on,” Elliot said as he opened the car door and stepped out of the vehicle.

When Anastasia stepped out of her car, she started to feel a soreness in her back and shoulders, her legs feeling a little numb.

Thus, she swung her shoulders in circles to relax the muscles in her arms, kicking to stretch her legs at the stime.

Meanwhile, Elliot, who saw that, couldn't help but look the other way with a chuckle, thinking he shouldn't embarrass her by letting him see her laughing at her.

As soon as the elevator arrived on the sixth floor, Anastasia stepped out of it and looked back at the man behind her, meeting his gaze by coincidence. In that instant, she felt her heart pounding rapidly just as she decided to walk away immediately. Then, she entered Felicia’s office and told her that she had just collected her new car earlier. Also, she invited Felicia, along with both of their assistants, for lunch the next day at noon to celebrate her new car. Moments later, Anastasia returned to her office shortly before Alice entered in a hostile manner. “Where is the draft, Anastasia?” “I talked to Felicia about that, and I'm allowed to submit it tomorrow.” “That's just procrastination. You're abusing your power because you think you're given the privilege to do so.” Alice then propped herself with her arms on the table, ridiculing Anastasia. “Don’t ever think that you're going to win it all after seducing President Presgrave and stealing his heart.” “Well, it takes a lot to win it all. Do you know that? But speaking of that, | don’t think my capability is outmatched by yours in any way!” Anastasia folded her arms, refuting Alice’s words.

“A true woman never relies on a man to achieve success. You're a disgrace to all the ladies!” Alice humiliated Anastasia.

“Watch your mouth, lady! You'd better showsrespect.” Anastasia stood up and glared at Alice.

“If you want somebody else’s respect, you're going to have to make sure you behave yourself. Everyone in our company knows that President Presgrave has a girlfriend, but you won't stop hanging around with him every day. Do you know you look like a filthy lady to me, Anastasia?” Alice fixed her gaze upon Anastasia in a sarcastic manner, yet her eyes were filled with envy and jealousy.

On the other hand, Anastasia was aware of how her relationship with Elliot was viewed to be a laughingstock in her company, but only she knew that she didn’t do anything to seduce Elliot. Therefore, she had no choice but to bear with the misunderstanding and disdain that everyone had toward her.

“Get out of my face! | still have work to do.” Anastasia immediately cut the argument short as Alice walked away satisfactorily.

After all, she only swung by Anastasia’s office to get on the latter's nerves, trying to play on her emotions.

Soon, Anastasia gave Oliver a call fifteen minutes before she could leave work and discussed the dinner they were going to have together later that night.

“Anastasia, | applied for a leave later in the afternoon, and I'm ready to make a move anytime.” “Really? I'll pick you up then since | just got my new car today.” Anastasia finished her words and mocked herself. “Well, that is, if you're not afraid to let a new female driver give you a ride.” “No worries, I'm pretty gutsy. I'll cto your office right now.” “Sure. I'll be waiting then.” Anastasia smiled and hung up the call.

As soon as Oliver arrived, Anastasia descended to the basement car park with him. Then, Oliver rode shotgun just as Anastasia switched her phone to hands-free mode and played smusic. After the first tshe drove on the road with Elliot by her side, she felt less nervous now that she was driving again, not to mention the fact that it was past peak hour. Therefore, her driving journey was smooth all the way until she arrived at her son’s kindergarten.
