Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

“I'm sleepy. Let's talk about it next time.” Ellen politely wrapped up the discussion
before terminating the call. After setting her phone into silent mode, she drifted
into dreamland.

At that moment, the smoking Harvey cursed in his car, “What the f*ck? If you
weren't that pretty and loaded, I wouldn't have set my eyes on you.”

He condemned orphans like Ellen because she was not from a powerful family to
bolster his life. Thus, his parents told him to marry her to rip her off over that
demolition payment. He need not ask her for kids to make it easy to bring up a
divorce a few years later. By then, he could still marry an influential woman who
would be the godsend to his breakthrough in life.

Ellen was merely the springboard for his life. She had no one to turn to even if
she was tricked. Murray and Connor were acquaintances, so Harvey was aware
of. Connor's apathy toward her.

The weekend passed just like that. Ellen went to work at 8.30AM. When it was
barely 9.00AM, a man holding a bouquet appeared. She intended to run away at
the sheer look of the incoming person. Oh, my goodness! Why is Harvey here?
Hugging a bouquet, he alternated his gaze left and right. In the end, his gaze
landed on the receptionist's desk as he heard of her position.

Almost instantly, he caught sight of the girl sitting at the desk. Despite her
intentional avoidance, he approached her enthusiastically.

“Ellen, you do work here. Look! I brought you flowers. Isn't it pretty?” He went all
out just to buy the most expensive roses for her.

She put on a stern face. “Mr. Fuller, it's the working hour, so please do not cross
the line.”

“I'll leave right after I give you the flowers!! won't bother you!” He quickly put the
bouquet on her desk and decided to be thick-skinned until the end. “I'll be
sending flowers every day until you promise to have a meal with me.”

Ellen grabbed the flowers, which she did not wish to receive, and chased after
him. However, he had already exited the lobby. He would not give her the chance
to return them since he was aware of her intention.

Right when he opened the door to hop into the car, she caught up. “Harvey, wait!”
She almost tripped herself along the stairs due to her speed. At that moment, a
black sports car almost ran into her. Fortunately, the driver reacted quickly
enough to step on the brakes and was equally surprised.

When Jared realized it was none other than Ellen, he broke into a cold sweat.
Ellen?

To his relief, she was unscathed. Holding onto the bouquet, she was talking to
Harvey beside his car.

“Mr. Fuller, please take back the flowers. I don’t want them,” Ellen insisted.
“Don't you girls love pretty stuff? I spent almost three hundred on them. I'm
serious about you. Please accept them, Ellen. I'll give you something better next
time.” He feigned sincerity.

“I can't take them. Please do not send me flowers during working hours. Thank
you.” She placed the flowers into his car before leaving.

“Hey, hey! Ellen, what do you mean by this? I'd already bought them. Whom am I
supposed to give them to other than you?” said the frantic man, as he did not
wish to let his money go down the drain.

Still, she strode to the lobby’s entrance without looking back. Harvey grumbled in
frustration, “Damn it!” He entered the car and wanted to drive away, yet a black
sports car was blocking the way. He would usually go berserk, yet the sight of the
expensive vehicle intimidated him. So, he wound down the window to talk to the
other driver politely, “Hey, dude. Make way, please.

Jared wound down his window and glanced at him before parking his car at the
front. The interested Harvey followed suit and started a conversation with Jared.
“Dude, how much did you spend on your car?”
