Chapter 206 Rallying Support
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 pay.
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.
