Never Too Far Novel

Chapter 132

Chapter 132
However, Hayley soon found herself distracted by a tall figure that appeared behind Anastasia. Hayley watched as Elliot walked past the crowd toward Anastasia, and a resentful glare surfaced in her eyes. She put her wine glass aside before following behind Elliot. She wanted to know why he was going after Anastasia.
Anastasia had just stepped out of the hall when she heard a man’s icy voice calling for her. “Stop there.” She instinctively turned around to see Elliot walking over to her. He looked like a prince under the dim light, and his icy glare was fixed on her as he spoke to her in an interrogative tone. “Did you really say yes to Nigel’s proposal?”
Anastasia was too shocked to say anything for a moment. The whole proposal caused a huge commotion earlier, so Elliot must have seen it as well. Well… Forget it. I don’t feel like explaining anything to him. “This is my business,” she muttered while pressing a button for the elevator.
At that moment, there were only a few waiters standing in the positions by the main entrance. None of the guests were anywhere near them. Elliot narrowed his eyes, and he looked as if he couldn’t contain his emotions anymore. He grabbed Anastasia’s arm before dragging her aside to a pathway that led to the balcony.

Anastasia was no match for his strength, so she stumbled along in the direction he was pulling her. She could only shout and flail her arms in anger. “Let go of me, Elliot!” But the man didn’t seem to care at all, and he simply dragged her toward an empty balcony that was filled with all sorts of expensive plants. It was like a garden that no one knew about.
Anastasia gasped for breath while throwing her arms around. The man pushed her into a corner before he leaned his head closer to her. They looked into each other’s eyes, their faces close enough for the tips of their noses to touch.
When she felt the man’s warm breath on her face, she pushed him away angrily before scolding him under her breath. “Are you done fooling around, Elliot?”
“Did you really say yes to Nigel’s proposal? Are you going to get married to him?” Elliot’s question sounded somewhat gentle, yet there was a hint of iciness in his tone. If she told him that she had said yes, he was going to lose it.
“Why is it any of your business?” She turned her face away from him.
“Because we share secrets between us that others can’t know about,” he reminded her through gritted teeth. He made it sound like they really had something going on between them.
“That’s just because you’re a pervert. I don’t have any interest toward you, and there’s nothing going on between us.” Anastasia stiffened her neck as she voiced her disagreement. Her pouty lips looked especially attractive under the dim light, and Elliot had the urge to taste them.
All of a sudden, anger flashed in Elliot’s gaze as he suddenly raised his hand and rubbed his thumb across her lips in a harsh manner. “This is the spot I kissed, Anastasia. I don’t want other people kissing the same spot, not even Nigel.”
