In Chapter 120 of The Bond Between Us novel, the narrative takes a riveting turn, plunging readers deeper into the intricacies of Anastasia and Herman's evolving relationship. As the couple grapples with the shocking revelation of their shared past, the town of Riverdale becomes a backdrop for both confrontations and moments of quiet introspection.
Chapter 120 opens with Anastasia attempting to piece together the fragments of her forgotten memories, haunted by the striking resemblance of their daughter to a past she never knew she had. 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.
All eyes were on Everlee.
At this moment, Everlee determined Anastasia's fate.
Upon seeing Everlee's displeased face, Selena was overjoyed. With a client as challenging and delicate as this, how could Anastasia possibly had convinced her within just three hours without offending her?
Selena was certain that Anastasia was losing her bet and would be leaving the company soon.
"Ms. Lunsford, if you're not satisfied with Anastasia's design, I can make a necklace that you'll like."
Everlee glanced at Selena and arrogantly responded, "With your skills, I'm not sure how you even became the chief designer. It's about time Elysian Technologies Jewelry Design Department got a new lead. Your designs are so outdated. How can such mediocre designs ever suit me? A child could scribble something better."
After being publicly humiliated, Selena's face darkened in an instant. However, she couldn't retort and could only force a faint smile. "Ms. Lunsford, perhaps there was some miscommunication about what you wanted."
In saying this, she was trying to shift the blame onto Everlee.
Ignoring her, Everlee walked to Anastasia and returned the design, "I'll take this one. I look forward to seeing the final product."
Everlee's decision surprised everyone in the room.
Anastasia had actually convinced the notoriously difficult Ms. Lunsford?
The chief designer's sketches had been criticized by Everlee as worse than a child's drawing, but Anastasia's draft was immediately approved.
That was unbelievable.
Selena's face turned even paler as she stormed over and snatched the design.
She wanted to see what kind of design Anastasia had created that satisfied Everlee.
Upon seeing the design, Selena incredulously questioned Anastasia, "Your design is this simple?"
Anastasia's pendant design was indeed very simple, completely different from the luxurious and intricate designs Selena had previously made.
Selena was unconvinced. A simple necklace design had satisfied Everlee?
Anastasia replied, "Sometimes, simplicity is purity. And the purer something is, the more genuine it seems. Just like when you love someone. Love shouldn't be mixed with other interests. It's about giving and sincere feelings."
These words were meant for Everlee.
