NovelEnglishIn the afternoon, Anastasia made a call to Lorelai before she left for the restaurant where she had made a reservation. Lorelai was the first to arrive between the two, as she set off from the company.
Around 11.50AM, a woman in business attire turned up by the entrance. She had her raven hair styled in an updo. Her whole appearance set her off gracefully, giving her amorous vibes.
Lorelai had heard from her father that Anastasia had taken over Bourgeois. She always thought Anastasia would be content with being a housewife, so Lorelai was surprised to see the woman become a chairwoman of a jewelry company right after marriage.
It was obvious that Anastasia was not a woman who lacked motivation and only sought pleasure in her life.
Having her own career turned her into a more competent woman.

A woman like her was more attractive than ordinary housewives, and it was hard for men to resist her charm.
Anastasia didn’t even need the help from Elliot to shine.
Lorelai couldn't help but feel envious of her, as Anastasia got off on the right foot with a favorable background of her husband's family.
No matter how hard Lorelai tried and how determined she was for her goals, as long as her family could not provide her with a better opportunity, she would still need to work for others. On the contrary, Anastasia was managing a listed jewelry company right after marriage, which had a market value of more than 10 billion.
“Anastasia.” Lorelai stood with a smile as Anastasia made her way to the table.
“Long time no see.” With ease, Anastasia took a seat opposite her.
“I heard that you had taken over Bourgeois. You're amazing.” Lorelai gave her a heartfelt compliment.
“You are thinking too highly of me. | am just trying to find something to pass time because | get bored at home.
Elliot wants me to have fun rather than trying to make a killing.” There was a hint of love in Anastasia’s tone as she said that.
Lorelai had a smile on her face, but the smile did not reach her eyes. “That's quite sweet of Elliot.” Happiness was written all over Anastasia’s face. “You're not wrong. Other than my dad, he is the second man who spoils me rotten.” “When are you going to have a second child? | remember that Jared is going to be seven soon, isn’t he?” Lorelai was curious.

“We're not making any plans at the moment. It will come naturally.” Anastasia smiled at the thought. Just then, her phone rang, interrupting their conversation. “Excuse me for a moment.” She nodded at Lorelai and picked up the call. “Hello?” At the end of the call, Anastasia had already made a decision. “In the future, Bourgeois will never consider the artist from this company to act as our brand’s spokesperson.” Throughout the call, Anastasia had remained a serious face and once she ended it, Lorelai could finally express her curiosity.” What happened? Is something wrong?” “It was just about an artist who overestimated her own boundaries,” Anastasia explained casually, but her eyes seemed to bore into Lorelai’s soul. “She tried to seduce Elliot right under my nose in a conference not long ago, but I happened to be aware of it.” Lorelai’s smile stiffened slowly, and she hung her head low in shame. “That artist must be out of her mind to mess with you.” “I cut off her endorsement contract and gave her a warning. | am going to blacklist her if she dares to do it again the second time. At present, none of the artists from her company will be given the opportunity to become Bourgeois’ spokesperson. Anastasia’s smile was gentle, but her eyes pierced through Lorelai intensely.
Lorelai’s knuckles turned white as she held onto her cup tightly, unable to speak as a result. She was aware that it was a warning coming from Anastasia.
“Do you think | made the right choice?” Anastasia questioned with a hint of amusement. As if on cue, Lorelai agreed with her statement. “Right, | thought so too. Nobody shall think about sabotaging your marriage.” “She is far from being a threat, more like an eyesore to get rid of.” Anastasia sipped her tea and changed the topic. “Let’s not dwell on this matter. We shall talk about something else instead. Have job already?” you found a “I'am currently working in a financial firm.” Lorelai nodded at her.
“Knowing you, | have no doubts you could find a great job. However, it is important to seek love too.” Anastasia smiled.
“I am devoted to my work, and | don’t have any free time to pursue a relationship.”
