Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

Chapter 244 A Symbol of Irony

Hayley was dangling her relationship with Elliot in front of Anastasia on purpose now. However, the other woman didn’t shy away from agreeing to it as she said nonchalantly, “Sure, that won’t be a problem at all. I’ll personally drop these necklaces off at his office, and I’ll be sure to give him my blessings as well.”

Hayley was somewhat unsettled after hearing this, so she turned to address Felicia curtly, “Director Evans, could you give me a few moments alone with Miss Tillman?”

“Of course. Excuse me,” Felicia replied courteously and rose to leave, but not before giving Anastasia a worried look.

The door had only just fallen shut when Hayley glowered at Anastasia viciously and snapped, “If you’ve taken my warning to heart, you ought to know better than clinging to Elliot like gum stuck to the bottom of his shoe. You wouldn’t want me to bring a certain gigolo around to see you, right?”

“Looks like you were the one who told that man where I was, and that was how he found me,” Anastasia deduced grimly instead of responding to Hayley’s threat. The man had even arranged for her to sleep with punters just to rake in some extra cash for him, which aggravated her to the point of wanting to throttle him.
