Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

Chapter 37

Anastasia hurriedly took the elevator to the 8th floor. She stood in front of the president’s office and knocked on the door before she opened it without even waiting for a response.

When she spotted her son seated on Elliot’s couch, she immediately sighed in relief before shouting in anger, “Jared, are you trying to give me the fright of my life?! Why did you run off like that?!”

Jared didn’t expect his actions to have frightened his mother so much that she went pale. He hastily ran over and wrapped his arms around her leg. “Mommy, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault.”

Anastasia also realized that she had overreacted, so she hugged him and sighed again. “Don’t do that again.”

“Go back to work and leave him to me. I’ll babysit him for you.” A man’s voice rang out from behind them.

She was stunned. This man must be trying to repay some kindness, but she didn’t want to accept any help from him apart from work. Moreover, she didn’t feel the need to bother him with a task like babysitting.

“It’s fine. Thanks for the offer,” a reluctant Anastasia replied.
