“Is there anything else?” Elliot closed his eyes and seemed to be thinking about what he was going to say. Then, he said, “I don’t want anything else tonight except you.”
After hearing this, Anastasia didn’t waste any time in lowering her head to start eating, and this man immediately began piling more meat onto her plate. Why did it seem as if he was feeding her to be slaughtered later that night?
The next Monday, there was a meeting at Bourgeois in the morning.
Anastasia sat at the chief designer’s seat and she was dressed in a beige suit with her hair tied back. This gave her delicate and lovely face a natural and tidy appearance.
The first topic she wanted to discuss with everyone today was the termination of Cathryn’s endorsement contract that was recently signed.
“President Tillman, we just invested 10 million dollars on her. If we break our contract with her, we have to compensate her for liquidated damages.”
When Anastasia heard that, her eyes turned cold. “Then, you should figure out how to avoid compensating her for terminating the contract.”
Everyone cringed at this statement. They initially thought that she was more pleasant, but they certainly never expected her to throw such a serious challenge at them on her first day.
“President Tillman, may I know the reason why you are terminating Cathryn’s contract?”
“I don’t like her,” Anastasia answered bluntly as she elegantly twirled her long hair around her finger.
Her response was both arrogant and straightforward.
“President Tillman, I understand. I’ll take care of it right away. We will have to discuss our new spokesperson after launching the new product at the
conference. Do you have any recommendations?”
“You may suggest a few for me to select from,” she replied.
Felicia was the only one aware of the rationale for her decision.
Anastasia asked Felicia to stay. “Felicia, please remain. The rest of you may return to work!”
Felicia looked at Anastasia with admiration in the meeting room.
She was really assertive as she expressed her appreciation. “Felicia, thank you for alerting me about Cathryn.”
