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 gave a quick glance at her colleagues in the design department and then headed back to her desk with the client's files.
After her stern warning, the office had quieted down considerably and no one was bothering her for the time being.
“Anastasia, have some water,” Lauren said, passing her a glass and giving her a thumbs up. “I didn't expect you could take down Selena so easily.”
Anastasia had lost control of her emotions due to the excitement and Selena's constant provocation.
Now that she was calm, Anastasia started to regret it a bit. She had crossed her boss, could that bring trouble?
Anastasia grimaced and said with a bitter smile, “I was pushed to the wall.”
She wished for a peaceful life, but reality wouldn’t allow it. She could handle the mundane tasks, but verbal abuse was out of line.
Everyone should have their bottom line.
Lauren chuckled, “I believe in you. You didn’t lose face at all. If you do get canned, I'll hire you back once I become the big boss of Elysian Technologies.”
Anastasia couldn’t help but laugh, “Then I'll really have to rely on you.”
“No problem, I promise,” Lauren said, patting her chest.
Anastasia smiled and opened the client file. Her face fell.
Lauren glanced at it and was also surprised, “The heiress of Crown Entertainment, Everlee Lunsford! Selena really wants to kick you out. Everlee is notoriously difficult and capricious in the entertainment industry.”
“Oh? The entertainment industry?” Anastasia glanced at Lauren, realizing that she might come from an interesting background.
Lauren just gave a small smile, “I just heard about it, just heard.”
Lauren seemed to be hiding something, but Anastasia didn’t press. Everyone has their secrets. She and Lauren hadn't known each other long enough to get to the point where they could talk about everything. Anastasia continued to examine the client file. She didn’t know this Everlee, but it was clear that she was the heiress of Crown Entertainment.
With such a high status and notorious reputation, she must be a challenging client. Even Selena had trouble handling her, which gave Anastasia a headache just thinking about it.
Lauren gave Anastasia some advice, “Anastasia, this Everlee, she’s a huge fan of Hermès bags. She's a super VIP customer. Every time Hermès releases a new collection, she has the right to buy first, even customizing her own styles. Hermès even opened a store near her home. Several Hermès designers were fired because of her.”
Anastasia forced a smile, “I might be the next one to be fired because of her.”
If even Hermès designers could be fired, she, a humble employee, might be dismissed at any time.
Just as Anastasia was worrying, she heard a shout from outside.
“Anastasia, who's Anastasia, your delivery is here.”
Anastasia looked up to see a colleague at the door with a delivery, looking for someone.
Anastasia raised her hand, “I’m over here.”
Lauren asked, “You ordered delivery?”
Anastasia shook her head, “No.”
She had been so busy that she had forgotten about lunch and hadn’t had time to order anything.
