Twenty-eight-year-old Mason was a lively young man who exuded an aura of someone who would accomplish great things in the future.
Anastasia wondered what his position was in Bourgeois. Could it be the head of design position that Felicia mentioned? That was an even higher rank over Felicia.
Anastasia got out of the car and Adriana immediately came to stand beside her. Mason’s breath caught in his throat as he watched Anastasia approaching him.
Clearly, the Anastasia he remembered was the young woman he met at the design institute, the one in the bleakest period of her life. She was entirely different from this elegant and refined woman who was flashing him a brilliant smile.
“Anastasia, you’ve changed so much! I
could hardly recognize you.” Mason could not take his eyes off her.
“Thank you! A lot has happened in the
three years we’ve lost touch. Come, let’s grab a bite to eat. My treat.” “Okay, let’s go!” Mason noticed Adriana.
and asked with a smile, “Is this your
friend?”
Anastasia nodded. “Yeah, she’s my friend. This is Adriana.”
“Nice to meet you,” Mason greeted her politely.
However, Adriana simply responded with a curt nod. Mason felt a little awkward, and he thought that this friend of hers was a little cold!
Anastasia nudged Adriana. “Adriana, I’m going to get something to eat with my friend. You’ll be alright by yourself for a little bit, yeah?”
“Miss Tillman, this…”
“It’s fine,” Anastasia assured her.
However, Adriana simply said, “I’ll go with you, but I’ll keep out of your way.”
Mason caught their conversation and
could tell that Adriana behaved more like a bodyguard or an assistant. “Okay!” Anastasia did not stop her from
joining them. The three of them headed
to a nearby restaurant.
Adriana took her orders from Elliot as well, and now that Anastasia was having a meal with another guy, she informed him at once.
