Chapter 187


    Chapter 187


    “Jared, where did your mommy go?”


    “Mommy has something else to do.”


    And so, Nigel came to the conclusion that Anastasia had to work overtime, so she had brought


    Jared to the office, then had Elliot send Jared over to him. Nigel was certain that that was the truth.


    At that moment, Anastasia was in a cab on the way to the hotel where her father’spany event


    would be held.


    Her father’spany wasn’t exactly arge establishment, so the celebration this time was


    organized in a regr 5-star hotel.


    The attendees of the event were not required to go through the hassle of registration before


    entering the venue. Anastasia saw a sign at the lobby that stated, ‘Attendees of


    Tillman Construction’s banquet, please proceed to the third floor.


    As soon as Anastasia exited from the lift, she followed the sign and arrived at a hall that was


    decorated with numerous tables and chairs. She saw her father standing among a few elderly men,


    and he looked radiant as he beamed gleefully. He seemed to be in high spirits as he raised his


    ss and chatted with the people around him.


    “Dad!” Anastasia walked up to him and greeted him.


    “Hey! This is my elder daughter, Anastasia.” Upon seeing her, Francis introduced her to his peers


    standing around him.


    One of them couldn’t help butpliment, “Tillman, you are so lucky to have such a gorgeous


    daughter!”


    “Not only does she have the looks, I heard that she is quite a capabledy as well,” another man


    praised.


    Anastasia felt embarrassed upon hearing that. It seemed like her father had often mentioned her in


    front of his friends. Still, she was d that she made her father proud.


    “Good evening.” She smiled and greeted them.


    Meanwhile, Francis was surveying the hall, seemingly looking for someone. Just then,


    a vigorous young man in a suit entered the hall, and Francis immediately called out to him, “Alex,


    come here.”


    Alex Hunter was about 28 or 29 years old, definitely below his thirties. Currently, he was emanating


    the youthful vibe of a young man. Upon hearing his boss’ summon, he quickly strode over. At that


    instant, he saw Anastasia, who turned to face him, and he waspletely in awe.


    Anastasia appraised him with her stunning eyes. This man must be Dad’s employee!


    “Anastasia, let me introduce you to him. This is Alex Hunter, a recently promoted Finance Manager


    of our firm. He’s young and capable, and he’s a graduate from a renowned university,” Francis


    commended, his eyes full ofpliments.


    Anastasia greeted him with a smile. “Hello, Mr. Hunter.”


    Alex ruffled his hair in embarrassment. “You must be Miss Tillman! It’s nice to finally meet you in


    person. President Tillman mentions you often.”


    “Alex, this is my elder daughter, Anastasia. I’ve always wanted to introduce you to each other.


    Please take good care of her on my behalf tonight,” Francis chimed in. It was apparent from his


    gaze that he had other ns.


    Alex was both surprised and excited. At that point, he seemed a little flustered as he was afraid that


    he would offend or upset Anastasia.


    “Miss Tillman, do you want to drink anything?”


    On the contrary, Anastasia remained calm andposed. She apanied Alex to a table and


    smiled at him. “Mr. Hunter, I’ll help myself. You should go about with your things.”


    Alex was personally trained by Francis to be his right-hand man. Thetter even handed Alex the


    power over the most important department, which was the Finance Department. That night, Francis


    had the intention to set up Alex and his elder daughter, Anastasia. When Anastasia took over the


    company in the future, it would be much easier for her with Alex as her husband.


    Francis had been cracking his head to keep hisrge business going when he had no son. Hence,


    the best way was to make Alex his son-inw.


    “Miss Tillman, I’ve often heard your father mentioning you. He said that you are a jewelry designer


    of a jewelry atelier. You are such a talented young woman.” Alex seemed embarrassed, but he was


    eager to present himself before the woman he had


    fallen for at first sight.


    “I’m just a designer. You are the one who is amazing!” Anastasia praised him. He was a valuable


    employee of her father, so she naturally treated him politely.


    “You are ttering me, Miss Tillman. President Tillman thinks well of me, so he gave me the


    position,” Alex replied humbly.


    Anastasia then turned to survey the other guests, but Alex couldn’t help but gaze fixedly at her. Her


    every movement seemed to capture his heart. It seemed that he had really fallen for Anastasia at


    first sight.
