Chapter 260

The lady was quite stoked, she actually got the chance to meet the wife of Mr. Salstrom. “Ms. Jewell,

oh, no, I should address you as…” She said.

Herman sensed something was off, so he shot a look at Flynn. Catching his drift, Flynn cut in before

the lady could finish her sentence, “Lauren, you’ve got so many girlfriends, why don’t you introduce us?

Hello, lovely ladies.”

Flynn’s words sent all the ladies into a tizzy. Herman was a cold fish, and they couldn’t get close to him,

no chance there. But there might still be a little hope with Flynn.

Lauren also got the picture, she almost landed Herman in hot water, so she suggested, “How about we

relocate for another drink? I can introduce you to my friends. Anastasia, know you probably won’t

come, so let’s rearrange another time.”

Anastasia didn’t suspect anything, “Sure, let’s catch up when we can, we’ll head home first.”

Lauren waved, “Bye.”

Flynn added, “You guys go ahead. Don’t worry about me.” His sacrifice this time should pay off,

hopefully getting him a bigger allowance this year.

Herman left with Anastasia, and their driver was still waiting outside. Anastasia asked, “Should we be

riding in your boss’ car again? Maybe we should hail a cab?”

“Cab costs money, but riding in the boss’s car is free.” Herman said breezily, “A cab ride from here

would probably cost over a hundred bucks.”

Anastasia decided, “Then let’s take the boss’ car.”

Herman, grinning, opened the car door for her.

Once in the car, Anastasia queried, “Didn’t you say your cousin has a girlfriend? Is that okay for him to

be like this tonight?” Having a girlfriend but still flirting with other girls, that was not cool.

Flynn had covered for Herman, so naturally, Herman had to return the favor, “I think they broke up.”

“Broke up?” Anastasia replied, “I feel like your cousin is a bit of a player. They haven’t been together

that long and they’ve broken up already. Speaking of which, when did your cousin and Lauren get so

chummy?”

Herman answered, “While you were in the hospital, they often came to visit, so they became familiar.”

“Last time I thought about playing matchmaker with them, now it seems they might actually hit it off.”

Anastasia chuckled, “Lauren is a good girl, I’ll tell your cousin to get his act together and pursue her. He

can’t be fickle anymore.”

Herman decided it was best to just remain silent on this one.

When they got home, Salma and Pattie were already asleep. Anastasia went to check on Pattie in her

room; watching her sleep peacefully warmed her heart. She felt utterly content.

Before she knew it, it was Friday.

Herman was really off on a business trip, Anastasia had promised Alessia to attend her promotion

party, so she couldn’t be late. She said goodbye to Salma, left Pattie in her care, and caught a ride to

the party location. The party was at a large restaurant. Alessia was well-liked, so she had invited a lot

of colleagues. Not just folks from the sales department, but also Christine from the design department.

When Anastasia arrived at the private room, she was quite surprised to see Christine, “Ms. Christine,

you’re here too.”

“Yes, Alessia and I were quite close when I worked at AL Jewelry before.” Christine asked with a smile,

“How’s your recovery going?”

Anastasia smiled back, “Much better, I’ll be back at work on Monday.”

Christine was thrilled, “That’s great, now I can finally breathe easy. The design department is

understaffed, Victor’s been riding me hard, I’m about to lose it.”

Just then, Alessia went to greet a colleague who just arrived. Seeing Anastasia, she rushed over for a

warm hug. “Anastasia, you’re here. Everyone here today is from AL Jewelry. Though we’re from

different departments, we’re all working for the same company, so just relax.”

Anastasia smiled, “Alright, Alessia. Congratulations, you finally got what you wanted.”

“Thank you!” Alessia was over the moon today.

As they were talking. Alessia’s husband Evan walked in with flowers. Everyone started cheering,

creating a lively atmosphere.
