The Bound Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 174

Chapter 174 

Anastasia said with an awkward smile, “I just said maybe.” It seemed that her period was indeed a week late this month. 

Victor laughed. “If you’re really pregnant, that’s great. The company will give you leave and keep your position. Your salary won’t change either. 

“Is it really that good?” Anastasia thought it was too good to be true. 

In Victor’s mind, if Anastasia was really pregnant, the boss would be thrilled. He would even send him back to headquarters. Not only would her salary remain the same, but she would even get a raise. 

Victor reassured Anastasia, “Don’t worry, we’re a legit company. You can work without fear. You’ll handle the design department, and I’ll have someone help you.” 

Walking out of Victor’s office, Anastasia felt dazed. It felt like she was stunned by an enormous surprise. Everything was too surreal. 

It wasn’t until she received the notice of position adjustment from HR that she realized this wasn’t a dream. Anastasia becoming the chief designer was big news to the other employees in the design department. 

Anastasia, who had been at the company for less than a month, replaced Selena and became the chief designer. This kind of unconventional promotion was unheard of in the company. 

Everyone in the design department was shocked. Except for Lauren, no one could accept the result. They had been working for the company for several years. When Selena left, they thought they had a chance, but they didn’t expect to be overtaken by Anastasia. They felt wronged. 

The workplace was a battlefield. No one congratulated Anastasia. They courteously called her Director Jewell when they saw her. 

Anastasia understood everyone’s feelings, and didn’t say much. Her desk was moved to Selena’s previous independent office. 

Anastasia found it incredible herself. But no matter how tough the road ahead was, she needed to stick it out for the money. 

Why did she work? To make money. She could have a feud with anyone, but not with money. 

“Anastasia, congratulations.” Lauren bought a bouquet of flowers to congratulate Anastasia. “You’re really amazing” 

“Thanks.” Anastasia shrugged. ‘You’re the first to congratulate me.” 

“I’m honored.” Lauren smiled. “You don’t need to be nervous or scared. Keep going. You becoming the chief designer feels like I’ve fulfilled my wish.” 

Lauren had previously promised that if she became wife of the CEO of Elysian Technologies, she would make Anastasia the chief designer. 

Anastasia smiled. “Don’t worry. I’m prepared. I’m getting such a high salary. I need to show some ability’ 

“I have faith in you.” Lauren laughed. “You said you’d introduce me to some hot guys, any news?” 

Anastasia said, “I’m sorry, my husband said his cousin already has a girlfriend. I think of you when I meet a hot guy next time.” 

Lauren sighed, “It seems like I always miss out on the hot guys.” 

Anastasia laughed. Her promotion was a happy event. Naturally, she wanted to share the news with Herman. She immediately texted him and told Monica and Salma about it. 

Herman, who was in a meeting in the conference room of Elysian Technologies, subconsciously smiled when he saw Anastasia’s message 

Herman replied. [You’re so great] 

Anastasia proudly said. It’s because you’re my lucky star] 

Everything went smoothly since she had met Herman. 

Anastasia excitedly sent another message. [The company gave me a raise, ten times more. Can I consider myself as a rich woman now?] 

Herman could feel Anastasia’s joy. Victor was indeed smart. He needed to reward him later. 

Herman replied. [Honey, you’ve always been a rich woman.] 

Anastasia felt happy when she saw the message.
