Chapter 187
“Jared, where did your mommy go?”
“Mommy has something else to do.”
And so, Nigel came to the conclusion that Anastasia had to work overtime, so she had brought Jared to the office, then had Elliot send Jared over to him. Nigel was certain that that was the truth.
At that moment, Anastasia was in a cab on the way to the hotel where her father’s company event would be held.
Her father’s company wasn’t exactly a large establishment, so the celebration this time was organized in a regular 5-star hotel.
The attendees of the event were not required to go through the hassle of registration before entering the venue. Anastasia saw a sign at the lobby that stated, ‘Attendees of
Tillman Construction’s banquet, please proceed to the third floor.
As soon as Anastasia exited from the lift, she followed the sign and arrived at a hall that was decorated with numerous tables and chairs. She saw her father standing among a few elderly men, and he looked radiant as he beamed gleefully. He seemed to be in high spirits as he raised his glass and chatted with the people around him.

“Dad!” Anastasia walked up to him and greeted him.
“Hey! This is my elder daughter, Anastasia.” Upon seeing her, Francis introduced her to his peers standing around him.
One of them couldn’t help but compliment, “Tillman, you are so lucky to have such a gorgeous daughter!”
“Not only does she have the looks, I heard that she is quite a capable lady as well,” another man praised.
Anastasia felt embarrassed upon hearing that. It seemed like her father had often mentioned her in front of his friends. Still, she was glad that she made her father proud.
“Good evening.” She smiled and greeted them.
Meanwhile, Francis was surveying the hall, seemingly looking for someone. Just then,
a vigorous young man in a suit entered the hall, and Francis immediately called out to him, “Alex, come here.”
Alex Hunter was about 28 or 29 years old, definitely below his thirties. Currently, he was emanating the youthful vibe of a young man. Upon hearing his boss’ summon, he quickly strode over. At that instant, he saw Anastasia, who turned to face him, and he was completely in awe.
Anastasia appraised him with her stunning eyes. This man must be Dad’s employee!
“Anastasia, let me introduce you to him. This is Alex Hunter, a recently promoted Finance Manager of our firm. He’s young and capable, and he’s a graduate from a renowned university,” Francis commended, his eyes full of compliments.
Anastasia greeted him with a smile. “Hello, Mr. Hunter.”
Alex ruffled his hair in embarrassment. “You must be Miss Tillman! It’s nice to finally meet you in person. President Tillman mentions you often.”
“Alex, this is my elder daughter, Anastasia. I’ve always wanted to introduce you to each other. Please take good care of her on my behalf tonight,” Francis chimed in. It was apparent from his gaze that he had other plans.
