Twenty-eight-year-old Mason was a lively young man who exuded an aura of someone who would
accomplish great things in the future.
Anastasia wondered what his position was in Bourgeois. Could it be the head of design position that
Felicia mentioned? That was an even higher rank over Felicia.
Anastasia got out of the car and Adriana immediately came to stand beside her. Mason’s breath caught
in his throat as he watched Anastasia approaching him.
Clearly, the Anastasia he remembered was the young woman he met at the design institute, the one in
the bleakest period of her life. She was entirely different from this elegant and refined woman who was
flashing him a brilliant smile.
“Anastasia, you’ve changed so much! I
could hardly recognize you.” Mason could not take his eyes off her.
“Thank you! A lot has happened in the
three years we’ve lost touch. Come, let’s grab a bite to eat. My treat.” “Okay, let’s go!” Mason noticed
Adriana.
and asked with a smile, “Is this your
friend?”
Anastasia nodded. “Yeah, she’s my friend. This is Adriana.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Nice to meet you,” Mason greeted her politely.
However, Adriana simply responded with a curt nod. Mason felt a little awkward, and he thought that
this friend of hers was a little cold!
Anastasia nudged Adriana. “Adriana, I’m going to get something to eat with my friend. You’ll be alright
by yourself for a little bit, yeah?”
“Miss Tillman, this…”
“It’s fine,” Anastasia assured her.
However, Adriana simply said, “I’ll go with you, but I’ll keep out of your way.”
Mason caught their conversation and
could tell that Adriana behaved more like a bodyguard or an assistant. “Okay!” Anastasia did not stop
her from
joining them. The three of them headed
to a nearby restaurant.
Adriana took her orders from Elliot as well, and now that Anastasia was having a meal with another
guy, she informed him at once.
Right at that moment, in the middle of a solemn meeting at Presgrave Group, Elliot’s phone vibrated
with a new message notification. He was listening to one of his employees give a presentation, but
after glancing at his phone, he picked it up immediately.
“President Presgrave, Miss Tillman came to Presgrave Group to meet with a male friend.”
This message was followed by a picture of Anastasia walking with a man.
Elliot’s eyes narrowed. There was nothing out of the ordinary about the two people
in the picture, but his heart felt a pang nonetheless..
Why did his sweetheart come to Presgrave Group but not look for him? Why did she come to meet
some other guy instead? Why were they having a meal together?
Elliot grew more and more frantic with each thought.
“Do you know who he is?” Elliot typed back.
“His name is Mason Sullivan, a new hire at Bourgeois.”
Elliot waved Rey over. “Look into this person’s identity and background.”
Throughout the meeting, Elliot could not focus at all. He kept staring at the picture on his phone, and
soon, Rey passed an iPad over to him with a resume on display.
Elliot studied it carefully, and once he saw where Mason had graduated from, he realized that this must
be one of

Mason Sullivan, Head of Design at Bourgeois..
Elliot gave a small sigh. He knew very little about the five years Anastasia spent overseas. All he knew
was that it was the hardest period of her life. She was pregnant and alone in a foreign country. Anyone
who helped her back then was equivalent to her savior.
Did this mean that this man was also one of the people who extended a helping hand to her back then?
If that were the case, there would be no way for Elliot to get involved in their relationship. He did not
want Anastasia to be mad at him.
At the restaurant.
After taking a seat, Mason stared at Anastasia and commented wistfully, “It’s great that you no longer
have it so hard anymore.”
“Thank you for all your help back then. You helped me survive the darkest period of my life,” Anastasia
declared gratefully. “Is your younger sister, Katrina, back as well?”
“Yeah, she’s back home and currently working as a model.”
“She does have the talent for it. I’m sure she’ll do well as a model,” Anastasia said with a smile. Katrina
was a very pretty girl.
