Sandy always loved to put on a show, and Anastasia was more than willing to let her bask in the limelight.
As she casually sipped her coffee, Anastasia said, “I heard the Morton Group is getting into renewable energy. That’s a pretty bold move.”
With a polished smile, Sandy replied, “Oh, sis, that’s way over my head. My brother runs the company. I just throw in a suggestion now and then. Big decisions like that? Definitely his call.”
“True, the whole renewable energy thing seems a bit out of your usual league,” Anastasia said, her tone sharpening as she locked eyes with Sandy.
A flicker of panic crossed Sandy’s mind. Did Anastasia know something?
The renewable energy plan was Herman’s idea, after all.
Sandy hesitated, unsure of her next move, but Anastasia suddenly chuckled, “Did I hit the nail on the head? I was just guessing.”
Before Sandy could respond, Anastasia changed the topic, “Dad mentioned you’ve got a boyfriend now. How about inviting him over for dinner so we can meet him?”
Sandy’s face changed immediately, and she stammered, “Sis, he’s not around at the moment. Maybe another time, when we’re more settled.”
“Well, isn’t that convenient?” Anastasia’s skepticism was clear.
Sandy steadied herself, “Yeah, he had to head over to Riverdale a few days ago. Honestly, we’re still figuring things out. When we’re ready to tie the knot, you’ll be the first to know.”
“So, you’re not quite official, but you’re talking marriage? What are you hiding from me, Sandy?” Anastasia teased. “Now I’m really curious about the guy who’s caught your eye.”
“He’s just an ordinary guy, not like your husband with all his talents,” Sandy chuckled. “He’s George, the son of our old family butler. He may not be a big shot, but he’s kind, attentive, and gentle. Isn’t that what every woman wants?”
Whether George was real or not, Anastasia could easily ask Tavon to find out.
If Sandy dared to mention him, then George must exist.
“Congratulations,” Anastasia raised her glass with a smile, though she felt a twinge of disappointment deep down. Could it really not be the person she was looking for?
The waiter brought their food, and they continued their conversation, albeit sporadically.
