Chapter 67
Anastasia always took on tasks handed to her by others, bringing documents to the printer.
Lauren, holding a cup of coffee, walked over to the printer after witnessing this.
“Anastasia, what is wrong with you, how you always accept tasks from others. They are obviously
using you” Lauren and Anastasia arrived at the company together, they’re close. Seeing Anastasia
being taken advantage of made her somewhat angry.
Anastasia smiled, “So what? If I don’t sweat it out in school, I’ll have to sweat it out in the real world”
Anastasia was cheerful and only had a high school diploma. Being a newbie with no experience, she
naturally had to be humble and learn.
Everyone in the design department graduated from prestigious schools, and they all had some fame in
the jewelry design industry
Lauren was left speechless, seemingly understanding the logic.
You’re a designer’s assistant, these errands shouldn’t be your duty” Lauren said, “How about you go
buy something, treat everyone to a coffee, and then buy some afternoon tea for later?”
While printing the materials, Anastasia smiled and said, “There’s a time and place for everything. They
won’t stop giving me work just because I treat them to afternoon tea”
Lauren had tried this before, it might not work if she did it again. Plus, Anastasia didn’t want to waste

Treating the design department to afternoon tea might strain her financially.
Of course, Anastasia wasn’t oblivious to social norms. She knew they targeted her because of her
education and ability
She wasn’t on their level yet, they felt superior to her.
To change this, she needed to prove her capabilities and shatter their superiority complex.
She had just arrived and hadn’t found the right opportunity yet, but she was determined to change the
status quo when the opportunity arises.
Lauren asked, “So you plan on doing these tasks forever?”
Anastasia laughed, “When I don’t have the ability to refuse, I have to lie low. Don’t worry about me,
these little tasks aren’t tiring. I do more at home.”
Refusing now might alienate her from everyone else, making her situation even more difficult
Lauren seemed to understand, “I think they’re just jealous because you’re pretty. Your husband lets you
work despite your beauty, isn’t he worried about the attention you’ll get?”
Anastasia thought back to what Herman said in the morning and suddenly understood something. She
murmured, “I see”
Lauren asked, “What?”
“Nothing.” Anastasia smiled, “T’ll go deliver these documents first.”
Lauren didn’t disturb Anastasia’s work, she went back to her seat, sipping her coffee and flipping
through a fashion magazine.
After delivering the documents, Anastasia headed to the restroom. As she approached, she heard a
woman crying from inside.
Anastasia moved closer and was stunned at the sight.
A pregnant woman was sitting on the floor, her water had broken, she was about to give birth.
The pregnant woman was probably scared by the sudden physical reaction, she sounded panicked,
“Help me, call an ambulance quickly, my baby is
coming.”
Anastasia quickly composed herself and called an ambulance. She reassured the woman, “Don’t be
scared, breathe deeply, everything will be fine.”
After the call, Anastasia saw the woman’s water kept flowing, she felt somewhat helpless.
The pregnant woman clung to Anastasia’s clothes, asking fearfully, “Will my baby be okay? I’m not due
yet, I still have a month to go”
“Everything will be fine, trust me. Although Anastasia wasn’t sure, she knew she had to be the woman’s
emotional support. She couldn’t let the woman. panic, she had to calm her down.

Alessia, the manager of the sales department next
door.
Alessia was breathing heavily, her fear was palpable. She held onto Anastasia’s hand, her body weak,
her voice quivering, “I’ve waited ten years for this child, I wouldn’t be able to handle it if something goes
wrong”
“It’s okay, it’s okay” Anastasia comforted her, “Breathe with me, relax, lie on my legs and don’t move,
this will reduce the loss of water”
The commotion in the restroom quickly attracted others, several colleagues came to check.
Seeing a woman about to give birth, everyone offered help.
Soon, the ambulance arrived, people worked together to get Alessia onto the ambulance.
Alessia held onto Anastasia’s hand tightly. “Come with me, I’m scared.”
At this point, Anastasia had become Alessia’s emotional pillar.
“Okay, I’ll go with you.”
Anastasia then accompanied Alessia to the hospital, running around to help.
Alessia’s husband quickly arrived and stayed by her side
Alessia held her husband’s hand tight, “If something goes wrong, save the baby.”
Watching this scene, Anastasia felt a strong sense of familiarity, as if she had been in Alessia’s shoes,
helpless and confused, clutching onto her mother’s hand and saying something similar.
