He lowered his head in shock. How could the thought of her make my body react this way? Now that she’s found out about the one night stand between me and Hayley five years ago, I bet she’ll hate me even more.
Elliot’s phone chimed right then, and he unlocked his phone to see a message from Anastasia along with a picture of a yellow t-shirt.
‘This is the uniform for Family Day. Are you sure that you want to come?’
What an ordinary t-shirt. I bet you can easily get these store-bought shirts in a similar pattern and cutting online for several bucks.
‘I’ve already made a promise to Jared, so I’ll definitely go.’ Elliot quickly typed a response to Anastasia’s message.
‘Still, this doesn’t really fit your image, and I think it’ll be better if you don’t take part in this. I can let the teacher know and take over your place anyway.’
After reading Anastasia’s reply with narrowed eyes, Elliot texted back determinedly. ‘I’ll definitely be there.’
At the same time, Anastasia was texting Elliot while laying in bed. Upon seeing how Elliot insisted on coming despite her attempts to deter him from doing so, she replied with one sentence. ‘Fine! See you at 2.00PM this Friday.’
‘Sure. Is Jared asleep yet?’ Elliot asked.
‘He’s asleep.’
‘What are you doing now?’
‘I’m talking to you while lying in bed.’ Anastasia’s reply came in quickly.
‘Anastasia, what if I give you 10 billion to marry to me?’ Elliot suddenly asked.
Upon seeing that, Anastasia’s mind went blank. 10 billion to marry him? Haha! Does he really think that he can do anything he wants to just because he’s loaded?
‘Go and look for Hayley if you’re in need of a woman! Even if I’m lonely, I will never take Hayley’s leftovers.’ She rejected Elliot in a headstrong manner.
In the mansion, Elliot’s face immediately darkened as the atmosphere around the couch that he was sitting on became tense. Does she really hate me that much?
He looked up with a sharp glint in his eyes. Just you wait, Anastasia. I’m sure that you’ll be touched by my actions one day in the future. After all, we still have so much time together for the rest of our lives!
Right then, Elliot’s phone started ringing. When he noticed that it was a call from Hayley, he accepted the call with a frown on his face. “Hey, Hayley.”
“Elliot, I’m scared… Can you come over to accompany me?” Hayley asked with a pitiful voice as she tried to get him to feel protective over her.
“I’ll get Mrs. Collins to go over and keep you company.”
“No… I just want you… Elliot, I had a dream about that night five years ago, and I really miss you… I want to feel it all again…” Hayley sounded ambiguous and needy.
Nevertheless, Elliot paused. How could she miss what happened five years ago when I hurt her so badly that night?
“Hayley, do you even remember how I treated you that night? It should have been a nightmare to you,” he asked calmly.
Upon hearing that, Hayley whined. “I was afraid that night, but… I’m not afraid anymore when I think of you as the pain turned into pleasure.”
“You should stop thinking about it. I don’t want you getting traumatized,” Elliot said.
“Alright, then! By the way, I want to visit the company and have lunch with you tomorrow.”
“Sure,” Elliot replied. “I need to shower now.” With that, he hung up.
At the same time, Hayley, who was staying in a mansion at the city center, had cold sweat all over her forehead. Elliot almost found out about the truth! From his tone of voice, I bet he realized how much he tortured Anastasia that night. Still, he was out of his mind, and it was Anastasia’s first time, so I bet she was badly tormented by someone like him.
Even so, Hayley couldn’t help but feel jealous. If only I had been the one there that night. I would have been able to experience how Elliot was like when he went all out. She felt her body heating up at the thought of Elliot’s buff build.
Even if it’s just once, I really want to be his woman.
On Thursday, Anastasia had taken a half-day leave and moved all of her luggage from the apartment to her new place with Francis’ help. While Francis went to pick Jared up, she started decorating the house in peace. Since there was a mall downstairs that allowed Anastasia to get all her daily necessities, everything was progressing smoothly.
At night, she cooked and made them a hearty meal. From now onward, they had a place where they belonged within the city.
“Dad, how’s your company’s growth recently?” Anastasia asked curiously.
“Everything is progressing smoothly! We’ve recently gotten a deal that can give us about 100 million in profit if we are able to get our hands on the project.”
Hearing that, Anastasia felt happy for Francis. Seeing how Francis wasn’t getting any younger, he would be apprehensive if the company’s operation wasn’t smooth.
Suddenly, Francis looked at Anastasia and asked in all seriousness, “Anastasia, are you planning to continue your venture in the designing field forever? Have you never thought of learning how to manage a company?”
Immediately, Anastasia caught onto what Francis was implying. Does he want me to take over his company? I guess he’s anxious now that he’s almost reaching his sixties.
“I don’t think I’m good at that, Dad,” Anastasia replied in a self-deprecating manner.
“Well, at least you’re more mature than Erica, and I’d feel more relieved if the company is in your hands,” Francis explained truthfully, as Erica had been completely spoiled by Naomi and didn’t know how to do anything other than spending his money.
“You’re still young, though. Why don’t you decide again in two years, Dad? I’d still have to wait until Jared gets bigger before I have the time to help you out anyway,” Anastasia suggested after pondering for a moment.
Although Francis was just asking, he was still happy to know that Anastasia had plans to help him out. “Alright. I’ll manage the company for two more years before I make the decision to let you take over the company, then.”
At this moment, Anastasia looked up at Francis and noticed his graying sideburns before realizing that her father was really starting to get older now.
