From Sneers to Cheers Anthea's Ascent novel Chapter 90

After a while, she sent over her completed work with a message, "Done! Please hit the 'Complete Task' button if everything looks good."

The person on the other side of the screen was gobsmacked.

What a true professional!

Tasks that would take a regular Joe a week to finish, the professional had nailed in half an hour.

"Thanks a lot! You're a genius!"

No sooner had he sent the message than he received a notification that the professional had accepted his friend request.

"Holy smokes! The master added me as a friend!" He couldn't help but plant a big smooch on the young woman next to him.

"We're almost at my place. It's my mom's birthday today. Can you tone it down a bit?" The young woman said with a laugh, "Which master has got you this hyped?"

"It's Phoenix·YC! The wunderkind our research institute calls the master!"

"No way! Let me see!"

"Seriously! Look!"

Before long, the car pulled up, and the driver announced, "Ms. Stella, we're here."

The young woman handed back the phone and stepped out, saying, "Send me a screenshot of your friend list. I want to show off on my socials. They're gonna be so jealous!"

This was Phoenix·YC, a master at their research institute! Getting even a sliver of connection with Phoenix·YC would be a monumental honor.

"Will do."

After they got out, the young woman straightened her boyfriend's tie before ringing the doorbell.

The door was answered by none other than Elaine.

"Mom!"

"Stella!" Elaine beamed, then turned to look at the young man by Stella's side.

Stella looped her arm through the young man's, "Mom, this is my boyfriend, Oakley Bingham."

Oakley adjusted his glasses out of habit, "Pleased to meet you. Just Oakley is fine."

Elaine had heard about Oakley before, but seeing him in person, he was even more handsome than in photos. What mattered most was his background.
