Chapter 206
Anastasia dropped Jared off at kindergarten early that morning. As the little guy made his way through the doors, he turned around and blew her a kiss. Empowered by his sweet gesture, she vowed that she would get the promotion and become associate director so that she could finally have better pav.
It wasn’t until after she had arrived at the company and sat down in her office that she remembered Erica was coming into work today. At the thought of this, she dialed Grace’s extension and asked her to look into this.
Not long after, Grace came running into Anastasia’s office with the information. “Miss Anastasia, your
sister has been arranged to work as a receptionist at the front desk.”
Well, seeing as she doesn’t have any corporate experience whatsoever, I guess manning the front desk suits her, Anastasia thought.
Apparently, Erica had come into work early and started her job at the front desk. She had brought lipsticks as gifts for the other receptionists, who were easily won over and got along with her right off the bat. She wasn’t short of money, and because of that, she had given them all limited edition lipsticks, thereby collecting brownie points.
After she settled down at the front desk, Erica picked up the receiver and found Anastasia’s extension before dialing it.
“Hello, who’s this?”

“I’m working at your company now! Are you surprised?” Erica bragged with a smile on her face.
Anastasia was rendered speechless. Looks like Dad didn’t tell her how she got the job in the first place. “In that case, make sure you do your best and stop making Dad worry about you incessantly.”
“Like I need you to point that out to me? Don’t tell anyone in the company that we’re sisters; I don’t want them to think that I only got the job because of you,” Erica said snidely.
“I should be the one saying that,” Anastasia replied dryly.
With an indignant scoff, Erica hung up the phone.
When the call ended, Anastasia put the receiver down and got up to leave. She had to go into the shop and see how things were going, but just as she was heading out, Felicia told her that the competition was fierce. Both her rivals would soon start rallying support from friends and relatives, and Anastasia was advised to do the same.
However, there was no way Anastasia could rally support when she didn’t even have that many friends or family to begin with. All she had on her side were luck and innate talent.
Meanwhile, in the main conference room at Presgrave Corporation, the man who was chairing the weekly meeting appeared somber as usual.
“That’s all for the weekly report, President Presgrave. Is there anything else you’d like for us to do?”
Elliot scanned the executives in the meeting and loosened up in his seat to assume a more casual stance. Then, he said in a low and grave tone, “I need all your help with something.”
The audience immediately stiffened at this. All this while, they had only ever heard disparaging remarks from him for their incompetence, but never a request for their help.
“What is it, President Presgrave? We’ll be sure to help you in whatever ways we can.”
“I have a friend who works in a jewelry store, and she’s running a little low on sales this month. I need
each of you to drop by her shop once, and your expenditure must not be less than a million.”
Upon hearing this, the executives in the room let out a collective sigh of relief. This was the first time they had heard the president make such a strange request, but given their annual income, it was easy enough for them to do as he said.
