Room for You

Chapter 305

Chapter 305 Anastasia started blaming herself at that point. “It is my fault for neglecting Dad’s health. Mr. Hunter, you have to let me know firsthand if something were to happen to my father.” “President Tillman didn’t let me tell you because he didn’t want you to worry.” Alex had a hopeful glint in his eyes. “Miss Tillman, please be ready to take over the company within these 2 years!”” She was immediately slammed with an overwhelming pressure after hearing his words. Taking over and managing her father’s company was something way out of her ability. Alex’s passionate gaze continued to stay on her. “I will do my best to assist you, though.” Then, he proceeded to tell her about the agenda of some of the company’s events and she made sure to listen to his every word. There were a lot of things she didn’t comprehend, but he patiently explained through it all and she also tried to understand it all with an open mind. After the dinner, Alex walked beside her as they left the establishment. She was in a rush to return to her son and father. At this moment, her ringtone started going off. She could feel her heart skip a beat when she saw that it was a call from Elliot. “Hello, President Presgrave. What is wrong?” she asked in a calm voice. He didn’t answer her and instead threw her an abrupt question. “Where are you?”

“I am at-” “Watch out, Anastasia.” Alex suddenly called out as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder to move her away from a swerving car. She turned to look at him with grateful eyes, but the voice from the phone soon rang out again. “Who was the one talking next to you?” As she wanted to pay full attention to her surroundings as she was walking on the road, she quickly answered, “I am hanging up, President Presgrave. I am going home now.” There was a hint of jealousy in Alex’s eyes as he walked alongside Anastasia. In fact, he had intentionally made himself known to Elliot by speaking during the phone call. He wanted to sabotage the relationship that Anastasia and Elliot had between them.

At the same time, there was a handsome man standing in the corridor outside the private dining room of a high-end restaurant. He wore a gloomy expression as he stared at his phone. She must be on a date with a man, he thought in disappointment Then, Elliot went back into the dining room and apologized to the father and daughter, “Mr. Dora, Miss Dora, I am afraid I have to leave now to attend to an emergency. Let’s have a meal together some other time.” “Elliot, are you not going to stay any longer?” Lucas glanced at him guiltily. “No, Mr. Dora. We will talk next time.” After saying that, Elliot took the suit he had taken off, gave them a polite nod and eventually left. Aliona had a sexy silver evening gown on, but despite how beautiful and classy she looked, she noticed that Elliot’s gaze had only fallen on her a number of times throughout the dinner. She couldn’t believe that this was all she received from him even with her level of charm. “Could it be that he has seen through my cover?” She suddenly turned to look at Lucas. “Don’t tell me that you betrayed Riley, Mr. Dora?” A surprised Lucas quickly shook his head and sputtered, “How would I dare to betray him when my son’s life is in his hands?” Of course, she knew what it was about Lucas that Riley had a hold on. Lucas had a son who murdered someone abroad and the CCTV recording of the crime had somehow gotten into Riley’s hands. There was no way Lucas would have the guts to betray Riley. Aliona then raised her glass, and with a smile, she said, “I will be needing you to play matchmaker from now on, Mr. Dora.” “It has nothing to do with me whether or not you manage to take down Elliot and Presgrave Group. I don’t want to get involved in a fight with the Presgraves. I only want my son to come back to me safely.” The glass in Lucas’ hand was shaking as he spoke. He was now treading a tightrope, and he was not the one determining if he would stay on or fall. He didn’t wish for anything bad to happen to the Presgraves, but in the end, his son’s life was what mattered most to him.

She swiftly pressed a button on her phone, and she pressed it to her ear. “Are you tailing him?” “Miss Aliona, we are right behind.” She couldn’t help but wonder what made Elliot suddenly decide to leave. Anastasia was sitting in Alex’s car now as he drove her home. What she hadn’t realized was that there was a car heading in the same direction as her. Elliot was in the backseat of his car as he loosened his necktie in an annoyed manner and barked at Rey driving the car, “Go faster.’ Rey obediently floored the gas and he started to worry whether something had happened to Anastasia. He stopped the car at the end of the street at her residential area, but Elliot only continued to sit in the car with an unreadable expression on his face. He seemed to be waiting for something to happen. Alex’s car finally arrived at the same place after a few minutes. He even came out of the car to open the car door for Anastasia, who in turn, gave him a grateful smile. “Thank you, Mr. Hunter.”Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
