Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

Chapter 381 I’m Not Like Her

As such, Alex could only return to the office with Anastasia as he wondered why the lady wouldn’t want to continue waiting until the rain stopped at the café. At the same time, Anastasia set her eyes on the rain outside the window, knowing that the road ahead of them was barely visible no matter how fast the windscreen wipers were working. Therefore, she believed it would take Elliot about half an hour before he arrived at her father’s company. At the thought of that, she sent him a text message and told him to be careful. “Keep a cool head, Elliot. It’s pouring heavily now, and it’s too dangerous to drive.’

However, Anastasia’s message was met with silence as the man didn’t respond. Therefore, she couldn’t help but feel concerned about his safety while reprimanding him deep down for making her worried. You’re sick, Elliot, so why won’t you stay put and rest instead?

A few moments later, both of them arrived at Tillman Construction, whereupon Anastasia told Alex to return to the office and waited in the lobby. In the meantime, Alex could guess who she was waiting for as he wondered whether Elliot was really coming to meet her despite the heavy rain. After all, he would gloat over Elliot’s misery if something ever happened to him on the way.

Meanwhile, Anastasia looked outside the window anxiously as she didn’t see any car in sight. Nevertheless, she saw a black sedan coming her way in the rain fifteen minutes later. As the view slowly became clearer, Anastasia was able to identify Elliot’s Rolls-Royce Phantom and heaved a sigh of relief until she realized there was a truck parked in the lobby not long after it was unloaded. Because of that, Elliot couldn’t drive into the building and had no way of entering the lobby without getting wet.

Therefore, Anastasia anxiously looked around for the driver to get him to move the truck away, only to see the headlights of the man’s car going out in the rain. Then, Elliot ran toward the building without even taking an umbrella with him, putting Anastasia on edge as she desperately scurried through the door and was greeted by the man’s drenched appearance. At the same time, Elliot was happy to see her as she had been anxiously waiting for him despite his messy look.
