Anastasia walked backstage to greet Felicia. After all, Felicia and her design team were the stars of the productunch party.


    “Your designs are so beautiful this time, Felicia.” Anastasiamented as she flipped through the art book. Everything in there


    was well-designed.


    “| hope we didn’t disappoint you.” In Felicia’s mind, Anastasia was the boss.


    “| believe in you, Felicia.”


    “Anastasia.” Suddenly, ady called out from behind them before Katrina swiftly moved to stand behind Anastasia.


    “Katrina,” Anastasia greeted with a smile.


    “Do you mind if we talk in private?” Katrina nervously asked. She currently found it hard to talk to Anastasia because she exuded


    an oppressive pressure that Katrina did not like.


    Felicia gently patted Anastasia on the cheeks. “I''ll help the team out now, Anastasia.”


    The moment Felicia was gone, Katrina took a deep breath. “I know Bourgeois is looking for a spokesperson for their product. |


    was hoping | could have a chance to be in your advertisements.”


    “That is up to marketing. You can attend the interviews for the job.” Anastasia smiled.


    Katrina bit her lip. “Anastasia, can you make an exception for me just this once? Please? My brother helped you all those years,


    after all.”


    Naturally, Anastasia knew exactly what Katrina was thinking. The woman wantedpensation for Mason’s help all those years


    and if the one making the request had been Mason, she would have gone along with the n before asking about why.


    When Anastasia remained silent, Katrina continued, “I know | should not be greedy and take advantage of something owed to


    someone else, but we are like aAll rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    family. Can’t you make an exception?”


    Anastasia knew that Mason was not someone to ask for reparations either. “I''ll have to ask the team about it. I''ll let you know


    when | have news.”


    “Thank you, Anastasia.” Katrina smiled. When Anastasia left, she let out a sigh of relief. Her brother would not ask for anything in


    return because he was at proud man, but she was not like him.


    She would use anything she could to help herself since she was not doing well as at model. If she wanted to be a celebrity,


    she would have to be famous first.


    When Anastasia returned to her seat, Elliot was chatting with Larry, who then stood up the moment he noticed her return. The


    show started the moment she returned.


    Lights beamed down onto the stage as masked models strutted while decked out in jewelry made by Bourgeois. Naturally,


    Katrina was one of the models. She had all her attention focused on doing the best she could. However, when she


    walked by, she would stare at Elliot.


    Anastasia noticed it, of course. She knew what kind of woman Katrina was. As long as there was an opportunity, Katrina would


    do anything to seduce someone.


    Before the show, Anastasia had been contemting giving her a chance because of her connection to Mason. Now, however, all


    of those thoughts had been chucked out of the window.


    “| have to answer a call, sweetheart,” Elliot softly said.


    She merely nodded in response as she was engrossed in the show. Then, just as he stood up, one of the female celebrities


    stood up as well. Although she left in the opposite direction, the corridors outside the hall were all interconnected.


    That celebrity had been waiting for her chance. Using the excuse that she had to head to the bathroom, she walked out of the


    hall. When she eventually made her way over to the other side, she saw Elliot taking a phone call while standing in front of the


    floor-to-ceiling window.


    Elliot was like a ma that attracted the gaze of every woman present that evening. No matter where he stood, he would


    be the center of attention.


    After all, he was a man whom people rarely saw. Any woman with brain cells would know not to waste any opportunity that came


    along.


    The celebrity''s name was Cathryn. Windsor. She was considered one of the most popr celebrities of the year due to a popr


    show that had recently aired. Due to her fame, she had recently been announced as the spokesperson for Bourgeois’ new


    products..


    However, her ambitions did not end there. She wanted a strong and powerful benefactor, someone like Elliot Pregrave, who


    stood at the top of the food chain.


    Elliot ended the call and turned to return to the event hall. At the same time, she pretended to be busy talking on the phone and


    acted as if she did not see him there. When she crashed into him, he reached a hand out to her shoulder to stop her from falling


    to the ground.
