Chapter 174 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.
Anastasia said with an awkward smile, "I just said maybe." It seemed that her period was indeed a week late this month.
Victor laughed. "If you're really pregnant, that's great. The company will give you leave and keep your position. Your salary won't change either."
"Is it really that good?" Anastasia thought it was too good to be true.
In Victor's mind, if Anastasia was really pregnant, the boss would be thrilled. He would even send him back to headquarters. Not only would her salary remain the same, but she would even get a raise.
Victor reassured Anastasia, "Don't worry, we're a legit company. You can work without fear. You'll handle the design department, and I'll have someone help you."
...
Walking out of Victor's office, Anastasia felt dazed. It felt like she was stunned by an enormous surprise. Everything was too surreal.
It wasn't until she received the notice of position adjustment from HR that she realized this wasn't a dream. Anastasia becoming the chief designer was big news to the other employees in the design department.
Anastasia, who had been at the company for less than a month, replaced Selena and became the chief designer. This kind of unconventional promotion was unheard of in the company.
Everyone in the design department was shocked. Except for Lauren, no one could accept the result. They had been working for the company for several years. When Selena left, they thought they had a chance, but they didn't expect to be overtaken by Anastasia. They felt wronged.
The workplace was a battlefield. No one congratulated Anastasia. They courteously called her Director Jewell when they saw her.
Anastasia understood everyone's feelings, and didn't say much. Her desk was moved to Selena's previous independent office.
Anastasia found it incredible herself. But no matter how tough the road ahead was, she needed to stick it out for the money.
Why did she work? To make money. She could have a feud with anyone, but not with money.
"Anastasia, congratulations." Lauren bought a bouquet of flowers to congratulate Anastasia. "You're really amazing."
"Thanks." Anastasia shrugged. "You're the first to congratulate me."
"I'm honored." Lauren smiled. "You don't need to be nervous or scared. Keep going. You becoming the chief designer feels like I've fulfilled my wish."
Lauren had previously promised that if she became wife of the CEO of Elysian Technologies, she would make Anastasia the chief designer.
Anastasia smiled. "Don't worry. I'm prepared. I'm getting such a high salary. I need to show some ability."
