From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea ) novel Chapter 141

"Give me a second to check that for you," the teller said as she peered at the balance on her screen. With a pleasant tone, she added, "Excluding the funds on hold from checks, your current checking account balance stands at $12.68 million."

"Just skim off the change and put it into that investment opportunity you mentioned," Anthea said with an airy lilt in her voice.

Change? How much change could there be?

The teller glanced at the balance again. The change was a cool $680,000.

"Would you like to invest this $680,000?" the teller inquired, barely concealing her astonishment.

Anthea arched an eyebrow slightly, "Didn't you say my account holds $12.68 million? Use the $2.68 million to invest."

To Anthea, it seemed as if $2 million was no different from spare pocket change.

Holy cow!

To the wealthy, $2 million was indeed just a rounding error.

"Absolutely! I'll get that sorted for you right away!" The teller was inwardly doing cartwheels of joy.

After months on the job, she had finally hit the jackpot with this young heiress! A $2 million investment would net her a commission of at least $20,000!

Stepping out of the bank, Anthea hailed a cab and headed towards QuickSend Parcels where Nanson was currently employed

Acquiring this company wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision for Anthea.

Having planned ahead, Anthea had already done her homework on QuickSend Parcels a week earlier. The company was a rising star in recent years, but due to the founder's overseas investments going south, they were strapped for cash. The delivery service was struggling, teetering on the brink of collapse. They had been entertaining the idea of a sale for the past two months.

But with a price tag that no one seemed to agree on and a lack of industry expertise in potential buyers, the sale had been dragging on.

Nanson, with a decade of experience in the courier world, was no novice.

Anthea was convinced that he had the chops to turn the company around!

Twenty minutes later, the cab pulled up to the main entrance of QuickSend Parcels' headquarters.

"Hi there, who are you here to see?" Anthea was stopped by a receptionist as soon as she walked in.

With a warm smile, Anthea replied, "I'm Ms. Yeager, here to see your CEO, Bart."

"This way, please."
