Chapter 304


    Chapter 304


    Elliot’s eyes gradually turned dark as he listened to Anastasia generously sending him off to another


    woman. With his arms crossed, he stared at her and asked, “Come again?”


    She immediately lost her fighting spirit and began stammering, “I am only doing this for your own good!


    You need a woman, and coincidentally, Miss Dora fancies you—”


    “I do need a woman,” he unhurriedly interrupted, “but you are the only woman I want.” He then slowly


    approached her and eventually came to a stop in front of her. “Hurry up and give yourself to me if you


    really care about me.”


    Anastasia unconsciously tensed up and she only let out an embarrassedugh as she told him, “I hope


    you have a good time tonight.”


    However, he still looked rather unhappy.


    As Elliot turned around to leave, he casually threw these words out: “I wille and look for youter”.


    “Oh, you don’t have to-” She was just about to rebuke when he went out and had closed the door behind


    him.


    She went to sit down in her chair. She was already not in the mood to work in the first ce, but her


    head was not an absolute mess after her conversation with Elliot.

    Right at this moment, her phone rang and she picked up the call after seeing that it was from Francis.


    “Hello, Dad.”


    “Do you have time tonight, Anastasia?”


    “Yes! Is something the matter, Dad?”


    “I want you to have dinner with Alex tonight. He has something to tell you about thepany. You can


    leave little Jared with me.”


    “Dad, did something happen to thepany?” a worried Anastasia asked.


    “Nothing is wrong. It is a date, then. Alex has booked a table at a restaurant. I will go to your ce and


    keep Jaredpany tonight.”


    Confused by the vague answer, she was about to say something again, but the call had


    already been hung up at the other end. She knew that her father had the intention to match her and Alex


    together. But isn’t it more awkward the harder we try to force it? she thought with a sigh.


    Anastasia received another call from Francis around 6.00PM when he informed that he was waiting to


    pick Jared up at the end of a street. When she saw him, she stopped her car and brought her son to her


    father.


    Alex’s car was parked nearby. After Anastasia had safely passed her son to his grandfather, Francis


    reassured her, “Leave Jared to me. You young guns can go ahead!”


    “Dad, why don’t we go together?”


    “I want to spend some alone time with Jared. You both can go now! Let Alex talk to you about the


    company while you two have your dinner.”


    Alex opened the door to the passenger seat and he invited her with a smile, “Miss Tillman, please hop


    on!”


    Having no choice but to ept the arrangement, she said to Francis, “Dad, you can just find a ce to


    have something to eat with Jared!”


    “Okay, I got it.” The older man waved her off.


    She started feeling somewhat self-conscious as she and Alex sat in the quiet car parked at the end of


    the street.


    “Mr. Hunter,” she started. “Thank you for helping my father all this time”


    “Oh no, I am grateful that President Tillman recognizes and acknowledges my ability. That is why he lets


    me handle thepany’s businesses.” Alex’s eyes were filled with anticipation and happiness. It


    seemed to be his and Anastasia’s first time spending time alone together.


    He had booked a table at an extremely romantic restaurant. Anastasia ced a few orders and Alex


    added a few others on top of that afterward. He noted how wlessly beautiful she looked under the


    restaurant lights.


    She had a subtle kind of beauty that made herfortable to look at. His heart was pounding in his


    chest as he ate with her. He seemed to have fallen in love with her at first sight.


    The only problem that stopped Alex from confessing his feelings was the difference


    in their statuses. Still, he couldn’t hide the fiery emotions in his gaze as he looked at Anastasia.


    “Miss Tillman, President Tillman has informed me that he wants to pass thepany to you. You can


    ask me anything about thepany if you need help understanding. I will go into detail about it with


    you.”


    “Dad is a healthy man. It still isn’t time for me to take over thepany. We don’t have to rush into this.”


    s, she still didn’t have the confidence to handle her father’spany.


    “Miss Tillman, President Tillman hasn’t been in his best condition ever since his hospitalization that time.


    I think he has hopes for you to start preparing to take over thepany.”


    Anastasia immediately became worried when she heard his words. “Is that so? How has my father


    been?”


    “The president has been to the hospital a few times these days. He has beenining about a


    difort in his chest that makes him feel stuffy. The doctor has also told him to take it easy, Miss


    Tillman,” Alex answered before he sighed. “Your father really needs you.”
