Chapter 384 Elliot was stunned. “Shouldn’t you have dealt with your own client by yourself?” “Nope! I was told by Felicia that the client was initially Aliona’s to deal with when I confronted and asked her about that earlier, but since my design caught the client’s eye, I was asked to take over the negotiation. Shortly after that, I was kidnapped by Riley’s henchmen at the rendezvous, which was a café where I was supposed to meet the client.” Anastasia’s eyes were filled with puzzlement. “How did they know I was going to show up at that café and park in that specific spot?” Elliot frowned and replied, “Aliona is the illegitimate daughter of my late father’s good friend, Lucas Dora, He raised her abroad. While Lucas is a respected senior to me, I heard from my grandma that they were close to each other in their youth.” “She is Lucas’ illegitimate daughter?” Anastasia knitted her eyebrows, although she had no contempt for Aliona. “Lucas told me to take good care of Aliona, but I promise I’m going to investigate the matter with your client.” Elliot didn’t want to take any chances and put Anastasia in danger. “Alright.” Anastasia nodded, feeling hungry just as she looked at the clock and realized it was lunchtime. “There is a restaurant nearby. We can have lunch together, but you need to go back and do your work when we’re done, okay?” Anastasia asked as if she couldn’t wait for him to be gone.

In the face of the lady’s reluctant look, Elliot smiled bitterly and said, “Alright, I’ll leave when we’re done with our lunch.” As the two of them left, Alex was watching them through the window in the office on the third floor. As he stared at Elliot’s car while the man drove away, Alex clenched his fists because Anastasia no longer seemed to be the same person he had always known. I guess Erica’s right; Anastasia only has eyes for rich men. It’s no wonder she’ ‘sn’t even bother looking at me. Upon arrival at the restaurant, Anastasia made several detailed remarks when placing orders for Elliot’s meal, which indirectly revealed her subconscious concern for the man. At the same time, Elliot seemed especially happy with Anastasia’s reaction, his eyes filled with tenderness and love. As soon as the waiter left the lounge, Anastasia turned her attention to the man and happened to meet his gaze, noticing his smiling face that was looking at her. In that instant, Anastasia paused in a trance for a few seconds just as she felt like she had been enchanted by his charming and magical eyes. “Stop looking at me like that.” Anastasia blocked her face, “What’s wrong? Can’t I look at my future wife?” Elliot chuckled. “You need to put a stop to your sweet-talking. I don’t like to hear any of that.” Anastasia appeared annoyed, but despite her feelings, there was nothing she could do to stop the man’s sweet talk. Ta like to take Tared to a place that’s fun this weekend. Would you mind lending me your son for a day?” Elliot asked. “Where are you taking him?” Anastasia understood Elliot was inviting her as well, for she knew the man was counting on her son to make her go along. “There is a club with several new children’s programs, and I heard from a friend that they are worth a try. I’d like to take Jared there to let him experience some fun.” Anastasia hesitated shortly before she eventually agreed, thinking that it was time for her son to do something outside after staying home for so long. “Alright, go ahead then. Take Jared with you.” “What about you?” “I’m going to spend my holiday stayir trap. t home.” Anastasia was aware not to fall for the man’s Nonetheless, Elliot wasn’t desperate to win her heart over at all, but he knew that gaining her son’s favor would help him achieve his goal even faster. “Have you realized that Jared and I look alike? We seem like a father and son, don’t we?” Elliot intentionally asked. As much as Anastasia was unwilling to admit it, she couldn’t deny the fact that her son liked Elliot very much. “Well, that’s because people who are handsome look alike,” Anastasia replied, complimenting her son and Elliot at the same time.

As expected, Elliot smiled brightly upon hearing the lady’s words. They left after finishing lunch, whereupon Elliot took her back to Tillman Constructions. Before she got out of the car, he reminded her to keep her distance from Alex. “Stay away from Alex.” However, Anastasia only looked askance at Elliot in an annoyed marner, feeling helpless with his possessiveness and jealousy. Does he think that every other man goes around charming ladies like him? I only want to take over my father’s company as soon as possible so that he can retire and enjoy the rest of his life. “Drive safely,” Anastasia said, reminding Elliot to be careful on the road before she opened the door and stepped out of the car. In the meantime, Elliot knew Anastasia still had him in her heart even though she didn’t reply to his last remark.
