Chapter 153 While holding her own glass in her hand, Anastasia made an internal call and asked Grace to send over
another glass of water.
Something suddenly flashed across Anastasia’s mind. She didn’t react much when Elliot had been using
her glass at home all this while, so why did she react like this now? Why did she show such a huge
reaction when all Nigel did was try to drink from her glass?
“Are you really eating with us at night?” Anastasia subconsciously asked as she sipped the water in her
glass.
Nigel elegantly sipped his water and answered, “I have to treat you guys to a fancy meal.”
“Alright, then. I have some work to attend to. Please wait for me until I get off work.”
He returned her seat to her, then he suddenly rose up when he thought about something. “I’m going over
to look for Elliot. I’ll see you in a while.”
“Okay,” Anastasia replied, nodding with her chin propped on her hands.
However, when Nigel was at the door, he abruptly looked back at the woman behind the desk.
“Anastasia, are you close with Elliot?”
She reflexively responded, “Not close. We are not close at all.”

Anastasia exhaled in relief as she comforted herself. Why do I feel like I’m in a secret relationship with
Elliot? Why do I need to keep telling lies? Come to think about it, there’s nothing between me and Elliot,
so that’s not considered a lie!
She took her phone and texted the man. ‘I’m having dinner with Nigel and Jared tonight, so I won’t be
making dinner. After sending the message, she exhaled in relief at the thought of being able to rest for
one night.
At this moment, Felicia knocked on her door and entered her room while being followed by a young lady
behind her.
“Anastasia, you have a customer.”
Although Anastasia had traumatic experiences with clients who requested customized products, she
quickly rose to her feet politely to greet her, “Hello.”
“Miss Tillman, I have a friend who is interested in your designs. She wants to customize a necklace for
her boyfriend.”
“No problem. Please, have a seat. Why didn’t your friend come with you?”
“She’s abroad. She has no time to return, so she has asked me to meet you about the design.”
Felicia and Anastasia exchanged glances before she hinted, “The female customer who requested
the custom-made jewelry said that she saw magazines that featured your designs when she was abroad.
She really adores your style of design.”
“Yes, my friend saw magazines about you when she was abroad and has taken a liking to you.” The lady
smiled.
The explanation cleared Anastasia’s doubt. She had indeed been featured in magazines in which she
had shared a few passages about her thoughts in jewelry design.
“My friend said that she wants to customize a pair of matching necklaces. The one that she plans to give
her boyfriend will look like a lock, while the other one, which she will be wearing, will look like a key. Miss
Tillman, you are free to design them as you wish, but she hopes to see the final product by the end of the
month.”
Anastasia blinked and looked up at Felicia, who carefully checked the calendar before responding, “If
you are able to prepare the design in three days, it’s possible to see the final product by the end of the
month.”
“Okay, I’ll try my best to prepare the draft in three days.” Anastasia promised.
“That’s great. My friend hopes to have two English letters engraved on the lock, which are the initials of

Anastasia immediately grabbed her notebook. “Sure. What are the letters, though?”
“The initial of her boyfriend’s last name is the letter ‘P’, while hers is the letter ‘S’. She wants a heart
shaped design at the center of the lock.”
“Sure. No problem. I’ll add that in the design.” Anastasia nodded.
“Great. How about the price?”
Felicia chimed in, “What’s your friend’s budget?”
“About 5 million.”
Anastasia and Felicia exchanged glances. It seems like this lady’s friend is wealthy! That’s a really
handsome budget.
“I see. Please have faith in Miss Tillman. She will definitely present you with the best design. Besides,
the materials that we will be using and our craftsmanship are no doubt one of the very best in the
industry.”
“Okay, I’ll first pay 2 million as a deposit on behalf of my friend, and the balance will be paid after the final
product is ready.”
Thereafter, Felicia led the lady out of the office while Anastasia was suddenly very motivated. She never
thought that such a generous order, which allowed her to obtain a commission of 3 percent as well as a
year-end bonus, would present itself to her. To her, this was certainly a small fortune.
