The quaint charm of Riverdale transforms into a landscape of uncertainty as Herman, determined to unearth the truth, confronts Anastasia with questions that demand answers.
Selena stood at the door, panting heavily with a stone-cold face.
She'd taken the stairs because the elevator was on the fritz. Anastasia was on the 8th floor, she had to move up one step at a time in her high heels.
Her heels were rubbed raw.
She didn't want to be here at all, but Victor had given her an ultimatum: either bring Anastasia back to work, or pack her bags and leave.
Seeing how respected Anastasia was by the Ledford family, Selena was a little on edge. After a lot of internal struggle, she swallowed her pride and called Anastasia.
But Anastasia had blocked her.
Her calls wouldn't go through, and she was blocked on WhatsApp too.
When Selena asked Lauren to call, Lauren scoffed, "Whoever kicked her out can bring her back themselves."
With the Mill family backing Lauren, Selena could only fume in silence. She finally had to go to HR department to get Anastasia's home address and come in person.
Standing at the door, Selena looked like she could eat someone alive. Seeing her, Anastasia was bewildered, "Selena?"
Selena took a deep breath, trying to compose herself, and said, "Pack up, you're coming back to work with me."
"Work?" Anastasia was surprised, "Didn't you fire me?"
Then Anastasia remembered what Herman had said earlier, that the company would send people to invite her to come back to work.
And it was Selena, the Chief Jewelry Designer, who had always looked down on her. Had Herman's words really come true?
Anastasia was truly perplexed, but in Selena's eyes, it appeared as if she was deliberately being difficult.
Selena's face darkened, "Anastasia, I've personally come to ask you to come back, what more do you want?"
Selena peeked inside the house. It was simple but cozy.
It wasn't a fancy apartment or anything, just some average sort of place.
With such living conditions, how could it have been a place where any important person resided?
Selena was puzzled. If Anastasia didn't have any connections, why did the Ledford family apologize to her in person? And why did Victor give Selena an ultimatum?
Anastasia frowned, what was her attitude?
"Selena, this job as a design assistant is not something I can't do without, please leave."
