My Baby's Daddy

Chapter 445 Jealousy

“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.

Furthermore, Anastasia emanated the aura of a decision-maker. Currently, she sat next to her father dressed in a suit while looking like the future female president of Tillman Constructions.

All these realizations had intensified Erica’s jealousy toward her.

In the lounge, Hayley was bored to death, but Alex’s figure kept hovering in her mind. If she had not fallen to this level, she would never entertain a man of his status.

However, she could not afford to be fussy any longer. She just wanted to take advantage of her current face as much as she could.

Although Hayley felt sorry for Erica, she was also aware that Erica was taking advantage of Alex. So, Hayley could use the same way to seduce him and with that, she would have an extra hand when dealing with Anastasia in the future.

While Francis was sitting on the main seat, Anastasia was at the side to sign some internal company documents for him.

Alex’s eyes were drawn by Anastasia’s neat gesture of signing, which made him envious of Elliot. Why is he able to have her?

Without Elliot, he would undoubtedly pursue Anastasia with all his heart. However, with a man like Elliot in the picture, Alex didn’t stand a chance at all.

Erica assumed she was here for a conference, but she wasn’t prepared for the torture of watching Anastasia deal with documents by her father’s side and Alex peering at Anastasia from time to time. Erica didn’t even have the chance to speak, and she had nothing to do.

In the end, Erica could no longer bear it and thus, she found an opportunity to slip out. Then, she went to get Hayley before they left together.

“You should stay,” Hayley advised Erica.

“What’s the point? To see how Anastasia learns to manage my dad’s company? Not to mention her seductive appearance. She knows nothing better than how to seduce a man! Even Alex was peeking at her several times!” Erica whined.

“Really? Your boyfriend was there as well? Then, Anastasia really has no sense,” Hayley said as a smug expression flashed across her eyes.

Hayley thought of the way Alex looked at her. Even if she was aware that the stare was because he couldn’t get Anastasia and it was why he was partly interested in her, she didn’t care.
