Chapter 302 – Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel

Filed To Story: Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel

Hayley, on the other hand, had already begun to style her hair. She was dressed elegantly in clothes borrowed from Erica today and she looked stunning, at least for the time being.

Hence, she wondered if the man from the sports car would be attracted to her.

The sports car came to a halt and its engine stopped. Just as they were expecting a charming young prince to get down the car, they saw the car door open and Anastasia step out.

Meanwhile, Anastasia did not notice Erica’s car. After walking away for a few steps, she turned around and pressed the lock button on the keys. The lights of the sports car then flashed, resembling an elegant crouching cheetah.

Erica and Hayley exchanged jealous glances at that.

“That’s Anastasia? How did she get such a posh car?” The rage, envy and jealousy in Erica’s heart was about to explode.

Hayley, on the other hand, was well aware that Anastasia was Elliot’s precious now. Of course she can have whatever she desires!

Elliot would gladly buy her an entire shopping mall if Anastasia so desired.

After Erica parked her car, she noticed that Hayley was still spacing out. “Let’s get down, Hayley.”

In fact, that was what Hayley was thinking about—whether she should get down and face Anastasia. But then again, she had nothing to be afraid of.

Hence, she took her bag and alighted from the car.

Meanwhile, Anastasia bumped into Alex just as she reached Francis’ office. When he saw her, a tinge of excitement flashed in his eyes and his heart started racing. She was, after all, the woman that he could not forget.

Even though he couldn’t be with her, he couldn’t help but be drawn to her every time she appeared.

“Hey, Anastasia. There you are! The meeting will be in conference room No. 3.”

“Alright. Thank you.” Anastasia nodded with a smile and walked into Francis’ office after that.

Seeing that she was here, Francis took the documents and stood up. “Let’s go.”

Just when the both of them exited the office, Erica and Hayley appeared. When Anastasia saw Hayley, her gaze dimmed. Why is she here?

“Dad, I want to attend the meeting too.” Erica then continued angrily, “Why did you inform her but not me?”

However, Francis did not intend for Erica to come, so he muttered, “Don’t make a scene here, Erica. Bring your friend to rest somewhere else!”

“Dad, you leave for the meeting first. I’ll be there in a short while,” Anastasia then said.

Francis had to oblige since the time for the meeting was approaching. “Come quickly,” he hurried her before walking to the conference room.

After Francis left, Anastasia immediately stared coldly at Hayley and asked, “Why are you in my dad’s company?”

“Erica brought me here,” Hayley replied, her brows raised.

“That’s right. I brought her here! Can’t I even bring my friend here now?” Erica asked aggressively.

Being Erica’s half-sister, Anastasia tried to kindly warn Erica, “Don’t be with such a person in the future.”

“Do you think you are better than me, Anastasia? What gives you the right to say that?” Anastasia’s words enraged Hayley. She was in such a pathetic state now all because of this woman.

Anastasia only responded with a cold stare. “At the very least, unlike you, a dog that bites its owner, I have a conscience.”

Hayley understood what she was hinting at. Gritting her teeth in rage, she replied, “You’ve no right to humiliate me, Anastasia. I merely did some foolish things.”

“Elliot was gracious enough not to send you to jail. Otherwise, based on what you did, you will almost certainly be imprisoned for at least ten years “Anastasia stated solemnly. Even she, as an outsider, was enraged by what Hayley had done, let alone Elliot.

Meanwhile, Erica, who was standing beside them, did not understand their conversation.

But Hayley’s face turned pale. “Stop pretending to be kind, Anastasia. You aren’t fair to Erica as well since you wanted to take over your dad’s company as your own.”

Hayley began to incite conflict between Erica and Anastasia, intending to drag Erica into the battlefield.

Erica felt that what Hayley said was right too, so she immediately stared at Anastasia and said, “That’s right. Why did Dad only inform you about the meeting and not me? You’re the one who asked him to do so, right?”

Anastasia couldn’t help but be concerned about Erica’s naïve and gullible personality, as she knew how well Hayley exploited such people.

“I did not do so.” After Anastasia finished her words, she walked to the conference room right away, without even sparing Hayley a second glance.

Staring at her retreating figure, Erica turned around and looked at Hayley. “Why did she say you need to be imprisoned?”

“It’s nothing.” Hayley did not intend to explain it to Erica. “I understand your concerns now, Erica. It seems that your father indeed wants her to take over the company.”

“The lounge is there, Hayley. You can wait for me there. I’ll check out the situation in the conference room now.”

“Sure thing.” Hayley nodded as she watched Erica leaving for the conference room. She wasn’t in a hurry anyway, so she roamed around the company.

As she stood beside the guardrails, reading the advertisement brochure on the wall, a man’s hand was suddenly placed on her shoulder. “Why aren’t you in the conference room yet, Anastasia?”

Feeling shocked, she turned around, startling the man behind her as well. Alex, too, was surprised to see this lady who looked like Anastasia.

Then, he realized that he had gotten the wrong person.

“I’m sorry. I mistook you for someone else,” he apologized while staring at Hayley. She did resemble Anastasia, even though she lacked Anastasia’s elegance when observed closely.

Hayley, on the other hand, recognised Alex as the finance manager Erica had mentioned, and she found him quite attractive.

“Hi, I’m Hayley Seymour, Erica’s friend,” she said.

“Erica’s friend, you say? Hello, I’m Alex Hunter, and I work as the finance manager here at Tillman Constructions,” Alex replied, his eyes still drawn to her face. She looks very much like Anastasia!

He initially almost mistook her for Anastasia. It was probably due to the fact that he fell in love with Anastasia at first sight, which resulted in him developing a good impression of Hayley, who now resembled Anastasia, when he met her.

When Hayley sensed his admiration in the eyes, something in her mind clicked. Therefore, with a pleasing smile, she asked, “Mr. Hunter, may I have your phone number? This way, it will be easier for me to ask questions related to finance in the future.”

At first, Alex was stunned by the request but when he felt Hayley’s enthusiasm for him, he was delighted and immediately took out his cell phone to exchange numbers with her.

“I have to attend a meeting now. You may come to me anytime if you have any questions, Miss Seymour.” After saying that, Alex left with a gentle smile.

The corner of Hayley’s mouth turned into a sinister smile as she watched the man leave. He is the right-hand man of Francis. Anastasia, the feud between us will not end in this life; either you die, or I die!

When Alex pushed open the door and entered the conference room, he noticed Anastasia was sitting next to Francis. Her head was lowered as she was reading the documents. Despite being right in front of him, she had an unapproachable atmosphere.

“Alex, over here!” Erica beckoned him over.

However, he responded, “Erica, I need to preside over the meeting. I will be sitting here.”

After saying that, he sat beside Anastasia. Erica was not assigned a seat, so she could only sit in the back.

Erica felt an unpleasant and conflicted emotion in her heart as she witnessed this because she could tell that Alex was just seeking an opportunity to be closer to Anastasia.

Feeling jealous, she darted a resentful glance in Anastasia’s direction. Throughout the previous month of dating Alex, she had unknowingly fallen in love with him. Except for not being wealthy enough, he had been treating her well in every way, making her feel pampered and indulged.

And that had added another charge on Anastasia—seducing Erica’s man.
