The Bond Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 748

Anastasia never beat around the bush. She was direct, decisive, and didn't shy away from making the hard calls. Flynn and Nelson were flabbergasted, witnessing her do something they’d never dared to—she fired Tristan, one of the company’s heavy hitters, just like that.

Before Anastasia showed up, they had treaded carefully around Tristan, worried he’d take critical client information with him if he ever left. They often turned a blind eye to his antics to keep things running smoothly. But Anastasia? She strode in and booted him out without a second thought, leaving Flynn feeling both relieved and uneasy. Sure, Tristan was gone, but what if he took their clients with him?

Flynn wanted to raise this with Anastasia but thought better of it. Undermining her in front of everyone wasn’t an option.

Tristan, confident in his hold over client relationships, was only briefly fazed by his dismissal. With a smirk, he retorted, “If the lady insists, I won’t hang around. Just don’t come crying to me later.”

Anastasia chuckled coldly and told Nelson, “Get Tristan’s files, have him sign the exit forms, and settle his compensation right now. He leaves without a byte from his computer, and we retrieve all client data he’s accessed.”

Anastasia wasn’t about to let Tristan walk away with their client list.

Realizing the seriousness, Tristan protested, “You’re cutting off your nose to spite your face. Those clients trust me. You think they’ll just switch to someone else?”

Anastasia smirked, “You only knew them because of this company, Tristan. Don't think you're irreplaceable. They’re doing business with Elysian Technologies, not you.”

Done with the conversation, she nodded at Nelson, who signaled the security team. “Mr. Tristan, let’s sort out your resignation,” Nelson said, leading the way as guards escorted Tristan out.

Tristan was practically dragged out.

Anastasia had been at the company for less than ten minutes and had already made a splash by kicking Tristan out. Everyone else was left in shock, quickly realizing they didn’t want to be the next on her list.
