In the afternoon, Anastasia made a call to


    Lori before she left for the restaurant where she had made a reservation. Lori was the first to arrive between the


    two, as she set off from thepany.


    Around 11.50AM, a woman in business attire turned up by the entrance. She had her raven hair styled in an updo. Her whole


    appearance set her off gracefully, giving her amorous vibes.


    Lori had heard from her father that Anastasia had taken over Bourgeois. She always thought Anastasia would be content with


    being a housewife, so Lori was surprised to see the woman be a chairwoman of a jewelrypany right after marriage.


    It was obvious that Anastasia was not a woman whocked motivation and only sought pleasure in her life. Having her own


    career turned her into a morepetent woman.


    Awoman like her was more attractive than ordinary housewives, and it was hard for men to resist her charm. Anastasia didn’t


    even need the help from Elliot to shine.


    Lori couldn''t help but feel envious of her, as Anastasia got off on the right foot with a favorable background of her husband’s


    family.


    No matter how hard Lori tried and how determined she was for her goals, as long as her family could not provide her with a


    better opportunity, she would still need to work for others. On the contrary, Anastasia was managing a listed jewelrypany


    right after marriage, which had a market value of more than 10 billion.


    “Anastasia.” Lori stood with a smile as Anastasia made her way to the table.


    “Long time no see.” With ease, Anastasia took a seat opposite her.


    “| heard that you had taken over Bourgeois. You’re amazing.” Lori gave her a heartfeltpliment.


    “You are thinking too highly of me. | am just trying to find something to pass time because | get bored at home. Elliot wants me to


    have fun rather than trying to make a killing.” There was a hint of love in Anastasia’s tone as she said that.


    Lori had a smile on her face, but the smile did not reach her eyes. “That’s quite sweet of Elliot.”


    Happiness was written all over Anastasia’s face. “You''re not wrong. Other than my dad, he is the second man who spoils me


    rotten.”


    “When are you going to have a second child? | remember that Jared is going to be seven soon, isn’t he?” Lori was curious.


    “We''re not making any ns at the moment. It wille naturally.” Anastasia smiled at the thought. Just then, her phone rang,


    interrupting their conversation. “Excuse me for a moment.” She nodded at Lori and picked up the call. “Hello?”


    At the end of the call, Anastasia had already made a decision. “In the future, Bourgeois will never consider the artist from this


    company to act as our brand’s spokesperson.”


    Throughout the call, Anastasia had remained a serious face and once she ended it, Lori could finally express her curiosity.”


    What happened? Is something wrong?”


    “It was just about an artist who overestimated her own boundaries,” Anastasia exined casually, but her eyes seemed to bore


    into Lori’s soul. “She tried to seduce Elliot right under my nose in a conference not long ago, but | happened to be aware of it.”


    Lori’s smile stiffened slowly, and she hung her head low in shame. “That artist must be out of her mind to mess with you.”


    “| cut off her endorsement contract and gave her a warning. | am going to cklist her if she dares to do it again the second time.


    At present, none of the artists from herpany will be givenThis material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    the opportunity to be Bourgeois’ spokesperson. Anastasia’s smile was gentle, but her eyes pierced through Lori


    intensely.


    Lori’s knuckles turned white as she held onto her cup tightly, unable to speak as a result. She was aware that it was a warning


    coming from Anastasia.


    “Do you think | made the right choice?” Anastasia questioned with a hint of amusement. As if on cue, Lori agreed with her


    statement. “Right, | thought so too. Nobody shall think about sabotaging your marriage.”


    “She is far from being a threat, more like an eyesore to get rid of.” Anastasia sipped her tea and changed the topic. “Let’s not


    dwell on this matter. We shall talk about something else instead. Have job already?” you found a


    m currently working in a financial firm.” Lori nodded at her.


    “Knowing you, | have no doubts you could find a great job. However, it is important to seek love too.” Anastasia smiled.


    m devoted to my work, and | don’t have any free time to pursue a rtionship.”
