“Miss Tillman, I'm here to customize jewelry for my mother's birthdaynext month, and I was thinking of ordering a set of jewelry for her.”John wasn't in need of money, and he wanted more excitement, so hedidn’t mind forking money out for Anastasia.

Anastasia naturally wouldn't reject a business opportunity given to her,so she instructed, “Grace, please get us coffee and a fruit platter.”

After Grace left, John's gaze quickly landed on Anastasia again.“President Curtis, may I know if your mother has any particular interestin the shape or color of the jewelry? Does she prefer jade or crystalother than a diamond?”

“Diamonds will do. It's better if it's bigger and more expensive,” Johnanswered in a straightforward manner while Anastasia pursed her lipsand smiled. “Sure. I'll come up with a draft for your design and send itover to your mother's house three days later. What do you think aboutthat?”

“Since this is a present from me for my mother, it's better to keepthings secretive. Why don't you come to me after you're done with thedraft?” A cunning look flashed past John's eyes while Anastasia waschecking a document with her head lowered. “Sure, President Curtis. I'llcontact you once I'm done.”

“Sure. I'm fine with that. Are you free later at noon? Why don’t we gohave lunch together?”

Nevertheless, Anastasia wasn't a fool and knew that John was trying tohit on her. Still, there was no way that she'd reject a businessopportunity, so she nodded and uttered, “Sure. I know a nice restaurantjust in front of my company. I shall make a reservation for two.”

John nodded in satisfaction. “Miss Tillman, I'll be waiting for your break,then!”

“Why don't you wait in the lounge? It's much quieter there.” Anastasiagave the man a suggestion before sending him off.

After dealing with John, she made a report to Felicia while Felicia madesure to tell Anastasia to secure the deal with John, seeing how they'dprofit a lot from the set of

When Anastasia went to get lunch with John during the afternoon, Johntook the opportunity to brag about his finance and assets as well as hiscompany, while

Anastasia acted as if she was shocked and awed.

After the meal, she made an excuse, saying that she had a meeting andwanted to leave, cutting John short and leaving him with no choice butto send her back to Bourgeois.

When Anastasia went back, she sighed in relief before returning to heroffice to continue working

On the other hand, Elliot took his phone and contacted someone in hispresident's office.

“Hey, Elliot! Why are you contacting me?” A man’s chirpy voice rangout.

“Do you know Anastasia Tillman?” Elliot went straight to the point.“How do you know?” Nigel asked in a surprised manner.

“She's an employee at my company. I ran into her yesterday at thejewelry exhibition and noticed that she came in using your name.”

“Oh! Looks like you've really acquired QR Jewelry Group! Anyway, it'strue that Anastasia and I are close friends with each other.” Nigeladmitted truthfully before he chuckled and asked, "How was she? She'sreally pretty, isn't she?”

“Are you trying to pursue her?”

“She's not an easy one to pursue, though. I've been trying to go afterher for three years already, but I still haven't succeeded, so I can onlyremain as her close friend!” Nigel answered helplessly.

Despite that, Elliot's facial expression was still dark. “How did you get toknow her?”

“Remember the accident when my car flipped three years ago? She wasthe person who saved me. If she hadn't dragged me out of my car, Iwould have died along with the car explosion.”

Of course, Elliot could still remember the terrifying car accident thatNigel had back then. Nigel had brushed path with the grim reaperbriefly as the car that he was in exploded right after he left.Nevertheless, Elliot didn't expect Anastasia to be the person that savedNigel back then. Is this fated? This would mean that the Presgraves owethe Tillmans a favor.

“Elliot, I'll be returning soon. By that time, I'll work at Bourgeois as wellso that I can accompany her.”

“Stop messing around. You're coming back to inherit your family’sbusiness, not to pursue after girls,” Elliot reprimanded.

“Well, you'll have to help me out to take care of her in the company,then.” Nigel could only reply to him this way.

When Elliot placed his phone down, he had a conflicted look on hishandsome face. Looks like Nigel, Grandma's favorite grandson, ispursuing Anastasia too.

Three days later, Anastasia’s draft was given the green light by Felicia,and it was ready to be given to John

"Good day, President Curtis. I've come out with a draft already. May Iknow when you'll be free so that I can deliver them to you?” Anastasiaasked John.

“Hey! I'm sorry, but I'm still rushing back from my business trip rightnow, and I'll only reach around 7.00PM. What about this? Why don'tyou send the draft over to my place around 8.00PM at night?”

“Um ... At night?” Anastasia immediately got alerted
