    Although Anastasia didn’t know what to say, she was honestly moved.


    “Thank you, but I hope that you won’t ask them to visit my shop anymore. I’ve given up the position


    of associate director.” She sighed.


    “Why is that so?” Elliot inquired anxiously.


    “I just want to focus on designing. I don’t have any management skills, so I don’t want to hold the


    company back.”


    “Why aren’t you confident with your skills? Don’t you want to get the sry increment?”


    “There is a limit to my ability and I only deserve my current sry. Thank you for your concern, Mr.


    Presgrave. You may ask your family and friends to stoping by the shop!”


    Anastasia hung up the call after saying thest sentence. She breathed a sigh of relief before


    calling Felicia to tell her about her decision, and thetter respected her wish to do so.


    After spending the past few months with Anastasia, Felicia came to realize that she was a


    straightforward and honest girl. Hence, Felicia liked the girl a lot.


    Meanwhile, someone started to spread rumors about this exact topic at the front desk and it


    instantly became the talk of the entirepany.


    “I heard that Anastasia will be the associate director of the Department of Design this time,”


    said ady at the front desk who had just heard the gossip.


    “Why is it her?” Erica immediately leaned over and joined the conversation.


    “I heard that the three designers in the Department of Design arepeting for the position this


    time. They have each selected a store and will bepeting based on this month’s sales turnover. I


    also heard that all of them have received support from their family and friends, but Anastasia went


    to a whole new level.”


    Someone else inquired, “Where did her connectionse from?”


    “Who else could there be? It’s President Presgrave, of course. He has personally asked his upper


    management to visit Anastasia’s shop!”


    “Wow!”


    The otherdies at the front desk were so amazed that they let out surprised gasps, but Erica’s face


    was pale. If she hadn’te to thepany today, she wouldn’t even have known that Anastasia


    had been hooking up with Elliot Presgrave. Now that Elliot wanted to help Anastasia get promoted


    and receive a sry increment, he was willing to suppress his pride and ask his upper management


    to support her.


    How close were they that he was willing to do that for her? Erica wasn’t going to believe that


    Anastasia never slept with Elliot.


    “What a shameless person Anastasia is. How could she seduce the president?” Erica scoffed.


    The otherdies at the front desk admired her courage. After all, no one in thepany dared to


    scold Anastasia, let alone offend her.


    “Hmph! She’s such a filthy woman. Does she even deserve President Presgrave? What a nasty


    woman,” Erica spat through gritted teeth in desperation to curse the hell out of Anastasia.


    “Erica, why do you say so? Tell us about it! How do you know that Anastasia is a filthy woman?”


    “She has an illegitimate child, and that child was born five years ago as a result of sleeping with


    another man. She has worked at a club, served customers, and slept with them just to study


    abroad. She was kicked out of her house eventually, though.”


    “How do you know all these?”


    “She’s the daughter of my father’s ex-wife!” Erica decided not to hide her identity anymore.


    “What?!” Everyone at the front desk eximed in shock. That was a juicy scoop from Erica! No


    wonder Anastasia was capable of getting support from President Presgrave-this all came from the


    practice of seducing men five years ago!


    When she saw that the front deskdies were intrigued by her words, Erica vividly recounted


    Anastasia’s past to them with exaggeration. She mentioned Anastasia being called ‘Princess of


    Abyss’, ‘Most Popr Hostess’, and whatever terms she could think of at that time.


    Thedies at the front desk were serial gossipers and they quietly whispered to every person they


    encountered about Anastasia’s past. By that evening, Anastasia’s reputation was ruined once


    again.


    While everyone was curious about how Anastasia managed to pull Elliot’s connections, most ofAll text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    them assumed that she had slept with him. Now that they heard about her scandal five years ago,


    everything seemed to make sense. Just like that, Anastasia was known as the woman of easy


    virtue in thepany


    However, Anastasia, who was in her office, didn’t know what was going on at all.


    When Alice heard that Anastasia had withdrawn from thepetition, she was even more


    motivated to secure the position of associate director.


    Meanwhile, a luxurious car was parked in the garage. Rey followed Elliot as they took the elevator,


    but when it stopped at the sixth floor of the Department of Design, he turned to Rey and said, “Head


    up first.”


    Rey nodded in response. Just as Elliot strode out of the elevator and was about to look for


    Anastasia, he passed by the pantry and overheard a conversation behind the ss window.
