My Baby's Daddy

Chapter 14 Hayley’s Fear

While the jewelry fair was held in a private exhibition hall with tight security, the alleys and streets around the place were sealed with security guards carefully verifying every guest who was invited to the event. Meanwhile, Anastasia heaved a sigh of relief as soon as she went through the security check with her pearl-beaded purse. After that, she was ready to enjoy the privilege a VIP guest should have in the event, as she was ushered by a female concierge to the banquet hall.

Soon, Anastasia found herself in a grand-looking hall where she could see rows of glass cabinets, but since the event hadn’t begun, the guests were invited to enjoy a buffet before they went on to take their seats. It turned out that Anastasia’s seat was in the sixth row, which was a place that everyone wished they had. However, little did they know Anastasia considered herself lucky because her seat was initially meant for Nigel.

While the other guests slowly filled the empty seats, Anastasia found herself seated next to a man who seemed to be in his thirties. With his shiny hair and branded outfit, it would suggest that he was no ordinary man. At that moment, he fixed his eyes on Anastasia, finding her different from the others, even though there were many other pretty ladies around. “Nice to meet you, lady. My name is John Curtis. Here is my name card.” John gave Anastasia his name card that read, ‘president from Deluxe Incorporated’.

“Hi, I’m Anastasia Tillman.” Anastasia introduced herself with a polite smile.

Meanwhile, there were two guests who arrived late at the exhibition hall. Noticing two silhouettes of a man and a lady entering the place with their hands held together, Anastasia couldn’t help but wonder who came late, but when she looked up, she was instantly stunned to find out that they were Elliot and Hayley. Oh, boy! We’re living in such a small world. Anastasia stared at Hayley, who was dressed like an angel, tightening her grip around her waist as she could barely hide her hatred for the latter.

On the other hand, Elliot was wearing an expensive black suit and a pair of delicate slacks, which accentuated his strong and intimidating aura. At the same time, every other lady, who had their eyes on the man, was all stunned to see the president from Presgrave Corporation, but when they noticed the lady who was accompanying him, they began to frown at her ordinary appearance and wondered whether she was his girlfriend. Nonetheless, they couldn’t help but feel jealous of Hayley, wishing they could be in her place instead.

Hayley observantly noticed Anastasia’s presence, instantly feeling stunned because she didn’t expect that she would show up at such a high-class event. Who is she to

be seated opposite her. Thus, Anastasia had no choice but to reluctantly face him, no matter how much she didn’t want to. The moment she looked up, she met a pair of charming eyes in the illuminating candlelight just when the man’s chiseled face and good looks came into view. With his thick and natural eyebrows, his attractive gaze and high nose bridge became even more noticeable, making him look even hotter. Oh god! How can someone ever be so handsome like him? Anastasia blinked and stared at the man who was also looking back at her at the same time while they locked eyes with each other for a few seconds. Soon, she sensed a pair of hateful eyes looking at her shortly
