    Chapter 184


    Elliot’s here!


    Although all the female designers knew that Elliot was there for Anastasia, they still couldn’t hold


    back their little gestures in hopes to catch his attention. Thedies flicked their hair and pursed their


    lips. Some tried to make eye contact with him, while others even attempted to undo a button at their


    low-cut cor to further expose their cleavage.


    When Anastasia took a seat, someone sent coffee into the room.


    Everyone was surprised that each of them got a cup of coffee, and it was Felicia who revealed the


    mystery. “Everyone, let’s thank President Presgrave for treating us to a cup of coffee.”


    The lot of them looked at Elliot in gratitude. Some female designers even purred, “Thank you


    President Presgrave! I’m so happy!”


    However, Elliot’s gaze rested on the woman next to him, causing Anastasia to receive full attention


    from the crowd. The female employees suddenly felt that the coffee in their hands didn’t taste as


    well as it had seconds ago, because they now realized that Anastasia was the main reason they


    were able to drink the coffee in the first ce!


    Meanwhile, Anastasia, who was skimming through the store sales analysis report, took a sip of


    coffee. This led a hint of smile to creep into the eyes of the man beside her. Everyone at the scene


    clearly took in his reaction.


    “At present, the price war in the market is very intense. Our recent store sales have increased by


    5%pared to the previous month. Thepany has decided to promote an associate director to


    supervise the entire Department of Design alongside me.”


    Alice’s eyes widened at that mention. She felt as though the position would have to belong to her


    and nobody could take it away from her.


    On the contrary, Anastasia, whose full attention was on design and nothing else, was uninterested


    with this management position.


    “How much will the sry increment be when one is promoted to be an associate director?” One of


    the designers went straight to the crux of matter.


    “The person who is promoted to be the associate director shall have a sry


    increment of 5,000 to 10,000 on top of his or her original basic sry, depending on this person’s


    capability,” Felicia announced.


    Anastasia, who had been initially uninterested with the promotion, heard that, and her stunning eyes


    lit up and her interest was instantly piqued. “What are the conditions that one must fulfill in order to


    be entitled for the promotion?”


    “Firstly, one must have worked with thepany for more than 5 years. Secondly, we will review


    their design skills. Thirdly, one must possess a teamwork spirit, understand the market direction,


    and be able to analyze the market needs.


    The light in Anastasia’s eyes dimmed when she heard that, while Alice, who was sitting opposite


    her, smiled and deliberately reminded her, “Anastasia, you merely worked with thepany for two


    months. You don’t fit the first condition.”


    Although Anastasia was disgruntled, she said nothing. Just then, a low yet firm male voice rang out


    beside her. “Anastasia will be promoted as the associate director.”


    Anastasia abruptly jerked her head toward him, but Elliot was seen looking at Felicia as he ordered,


    “Notify the Human Resource Department about this.”


    Felicia, who didn’t expect the boss to promote Anastasia with just a statement, revealed an


    awkward smile. “Sure, I’ll notify the Human Resource Department about the change in her position.”


    At that, Alice, who was sitting opposite them, was so mad that her face nched, while the other


    designers were astounded. Does Anastasia have such a powerful background? Could it be that the


    reason President Presgrave attended the meeting today is just to promote her as the associate


    director in front of all of us?


    “But that’s unfair, President Presgrave! Shouldn’t other employees be given a fair chance?” Alice


    boldly refuted. “It will be difficult to convince the others if you make an exception and grant her a


    promotion like this.”


    As soon as Alice voiced out her disapproval, the air in the meeting room instantly became heavy.


    Elliot furrowed his brows, darting a sharp gaze at her. “Are you objecting to my decision?”


    “N-No… I-I just think that t-this is apany, and thepany should have rules and


    regtions…” Alice was so frightened that she started stammering and her face flushed crimson.


    Anastasia suddenly didn’t find the position of the associate director attractive anymore. It would be


    alright if she earned the position with her own effort, but an exceptional promotion like this was


    indeed unfair to the others, let alone when she didn’t want to owe the man any favors in the first


    ce.


    “President Presgrave, I refuse to ept the position. Please allow Felicia to pick someone more


    suitable!” Anastasia chimed in reasonably.


    Elliot’s cold gaze that had initially been on Alice nownded on Anastasia, but there currently was a


    hint of frustration in them. Why is she concerned about all those irrelevant matters? Doesn’t she


    want to earn more money?


    “Let’s do it this way, then. Anastasia gains the right topete for the position because her


    capability is undeniably outstanding. Alice, Anastasia and Alexia are the suitable candidates for this


    position. I’ll assign tasks to the three of you to assess your capabilities.”
