NovelEnglishChapter 380 Elliot's Determination “No, that’s not what | meant. Since you're both Mr. Tillman's daughters, that naturally puts the two of you on an equal footing,” Alex immediately explained himself.
“Where is my father, Mr. Hunter?” “He is currently meeting up with a client.” “Keepin the loop about everything regarding the company, Mr. Hunter. | wish to be involved in my father’s business,” Erica ordered the man.
Although he was disgusted by the lady deep down, Alex forced himself to react with a smile and nodded. “Sure.” “Well, I'd like to get going.” Anastasia refused to stay there any longer with Erica.
“Anastasia, | have orders from Mr. Tillman to show you around the company.” Alex wasn’t about to let Anastasia walk away like that.
“I'm coming along too,” Erica desperately said.
“Let's go.” Anastasia nodded and left with Alex just as Erica grabbed her purse and caught up to them. However, by the tshe headed downstairs, she saw Alex's car setting off without waiting for her, which irritated her so much that she stomped on the ground repeatedly in exasperation.

I'll make sure you pay for that!” In fact, Alex had intentionally left Erica behind in an attempt to gain Anastasia’s favor, but it was only after they hit the road that he noticed the lady's preoccupied look as she set her eyes outside the window. “Is there something that’s bothering you, Anastasia?” “Oh, it's nothing.” Anastasia shook her head just when raindrops started to fall from the cloudy sky. As the rain becheavier and heavier, Alex suggested that they should stop by a nearby café until the rain cleared up before they continued their journey.
“Okay,” Anastasia agreed, refusing to put both their lives at risk due to the rainy weather. Alex then drove to a café, whereupon both of them quickly entered the place and took shelter.
Soon, lightning struck the sky outside the window as the deafening thunder roared across the city. Meanwhile, Elliot paused when he was about to sign his documents in his office at Presgrave Group. At that moment, Anastasia’s fearful look when she heard the thunder sprang to his mind; this prompted him to reach for his phone to send a text message. ‘Where are you?’ However, when he didn’t get a reply after ten minutes, he began to lose his patience and asked himself whether the lady had forgotten about him. Therefore, he decided to directly call her.
On the other hand, Anastasia set her eyes on her phone’s screen, frowning while she wondered why the man wouldn't stop bothering her.
“Why aren't you picking up the call?” Alex asked.
“It's nothing important.” Anastasia declined the call.
Nonetheless, Alex noticed the caller ID that appeared on the phone's screen and realized that it was Elliot.
For a successful and powerful man like Elliot, I'd say he’s humbled himself just to win Anastasia’s heart, but with his status, he could easily steal any lady's heart. | doubt even those rich men’s daughters wouldn't be out of his league either.
At that moment, Anastasia heard another notification alert from her phone once again just as she subconsciously took a glimpse at the incoming message. ‘I'm going to your place now.’ She then squinted, asking herself why the man would visit her during heavy rain.
‘I'm away from hnow, so don’t bother looking for me.’ Anastasia finally responded to his text.
‘Where are you? I'll cover and keep you company.’ Elliot asked for her whereabouts.
‘There’s no need for that. | have someone here with me.’ Anastasia replied to his message provocatively.
‘Who?’ ‘Mr. Hunter and | are having a tea break now.’ Anastasia responded.
‘Are you guys dating?’ Elliot asked.

Upon taking a deep breath, she answered it and questioned the man. “Can you please leavealone?” “I'm going to meet you at your father’s company now,” the man said.
“Now? It's pouring like crazy now, so why are you going to do that?” Anastasia was surprised to hear the man.
“See you there.” Elliot hung up the call without saying a single word more.
Deep down, Anastasia couldn’t help but think that Elliot must be out of his mind. After all, no one would want to get wet due to the heavy rain, but the man insisted on meeting her at Francis’ company.
“Let's go back, Mr. Hunter. The rain is too heavy today, so I think we should probably visit our subsidiary company another day,” said Anastasia as she raised her head to look at Alex.
“What? Are we going back to the office now?” Alex was stunned.
“Yes, we are.” Anastasia finished her sentence and proceeded to foot the bill before Alex could stop her from doing so.
