Thanks for the opportunity, Ms. Vinci. What kind of style are you thinking for the piece?” Anastasia calmly opened her design notebook, ready to jor down notes.
Sonia’s eyes lingerd en Anastasia’s Ince before she smiled. “Ms. Kingsley, you are actually qualified for this, right? I mean, I’m a public figure–I can’t jast work with scane random amateur. I need legit professional design work.”
Anamasis caught the bitchy undertone but kept her cool.
—Ms. Vinci, 1 promise I’ll create something that perfectly matches your style and personality. If you’re not happy with my work, you’re totally fro find someone else,”
Anastasis stayed composed, not giving an inch.
Something calculating flashed in Sonia’s eyes. “Ms. Kingsley, what I want is actually pretty straightforward–something completely unique that’ll make people remember me. Next month’s awards show is huge for my career. I need to be the one everyone’s talking about.”
Anastasia nodded seriously. “Absolutely. I design something that showcases your personal brand while incorporating distinctive elements to make sure the piece is both sophisticated and show–stopping.”
“Perfect. I’m confident you get what I’m going for. since we seem to have similar interests,” Sonia said, her words dripping with subtext
If Anastasia couldn’t read between those lines by now, she’d be a complete murun.
This bitch obviously knew exactly who she was and had shown up here to start shit.
Anastasia kept her voice level. “I think everyone can appreciate beautiful things.”
Watching Anastasia stay so calm made Sonda want to claw her eyes out.
Soon everyone would see whether Anastasia actually had any real talent.
Some gold–digger who’d fucked her way into this job had no business being here.
If this woman made Cassian look had, how could he possibly keep her around?
“Totally. I’m really excited to see what kind of magic you can create,” Sonia said with fake enthusiasm.
“Till grow it my all. I’ll have the preliminary designs ready in three days,” Anastasia kept things strictly business.
“Looking forward to it.” Sonia said coolly. “Oh, and Ms. Kingsley? Just some friendly advice–it’s probably smart not to get too attached to things that aren’t really yours.”
“Don’t worry about me, Ms. Vinci. What’s meant to be will be, and trying to hold onto something that isn’t yours never works out,” Anastasia replied
Sonia left looking totally pissed.
Anastasia exhaled quietly. This woman really couldn’t wait to cause dramat
But this was definitely going to be a pain in the ass. Sonia was obviously a troublemaker, and who knew what kind of bullshit she’d try to pul
Still since Cassian hadn’t mentioned anything about their history, Anastasia would just play dumb
At quitting time, Anastasia got a call from her mother–in–law,
Lancey was calling to invite them over for damer
“Hey Mom
Dumped Today, Married Tomorrow: My Ovenught Wedding to a Tycoon
Ana, honey, I tried calling Cassian but ba’w not picking up. Como river for dinner with him after work. I made this incredible bacter that I know you’ll love.”
Whenever Lancey made something special, Anastasia was always the first person she thought of,
Anastasia felt genuinely touched. “That sounds amazing, thanks Mom. We’ll head over right after work. Cassian’s probably stuck in some
“Ugh. typical. That hey lives at the office,” Lancey grumbled affectionately.
“Mom, I better go for now. We’ll see you soon,” Anastasia sald with a smile,
