Chapter 126
Harmon stood there, watching Anastasiaâs back for a while Anastasia and Lauren were heading towards the design department, their voices soft, their demeanor striking, and their smiles so welcoming
Harmon couldnât help but smile, thinking how great it would be if his date were Anastasia. The thought flickered in his mind, subtly shifting his mood.
Anastasia returned to her desk and realized she hadnât had time to sort out the design drawings in her rush to the cafetena earlier
As she began to organize the designs, Lauren saw and exclaimed, âWow, this is really beautiful. Anastasia! Did you design this?â
Anastasia replied with a smile. Yes, I just sketched it out. I used to sell my designs at stallsâ
âAnastasia, youâre amazing Lauren praised, âNo wonder your designs are so gorgeous, Iâm totally in love with this braceletâ
Anastasia smiled. But I donât have the chance to really use my skills.â
Selena never gave Anastasia a chance to showcase her talents, always making her do menial tasks like greeting clients. And those clients looking for Selenaâs jewelry designs were all high society, each one a handful to handle
There will be a chance one dayâ Lauren reassured.
Anastasia smiled, she had already put Selena in a tight spot before, she had seen this coming
When it was time to finish work, Anastasia was still busy Selena had assigned her more tasks, and by the time she got home, it was already 10 p.m.
She checked her phone, no messages from Herman. Anastasia figured he must be busy, so she didnât think too much of it and decided to take a bath to
relax
Monica had suggested she go to a beauty salon for a treatment the next day. She had a friend who owned one, which was very convenient for her. Monica used to take Anastasia there often, and it was always free for Anastasia But she felt awkward about it after going twice and didnât go again. Recently, she had been staying up late frequently, her skin wasnât in the best condition. To maintain her personal image. Anastasia started paying attention to her appearance and agreed to go to Monicaâs salon.
The next morning.
Anastasia woke up early, cooked something for herself to eat, then got a message from Herman: Are you up?
She giggled at her phone: Iâm up and having breakfast.
She took a picture of her breakfast and sent it to Herman.
Herman replied: Iâll be back in a couple of days. If youâre bored, you can ask your aunt or mom to take you out.
Anastasia laughed and replied: Iâm going to Monicaâs beauty salon for a skincare treatment later.
-Herman replied Ok
Even a few simple words made Anastasia very happy
After breakfast, Anastasia was about to leave when the doorbell rang
She curiously answered the door to see a strange woman standing there: âWhatâs wrong with your home? Water leaked into my ceiling and damaged my newly renovated house.â
âLeak?â
Anastasia was baffled, she hurried to the bathroom and sure enough, water had overflowed and the whole bathroom was flooded. This room. After moving to Hermanâs bedroom, she seldom visited this room. She had no idea when the faucet had broken.
Anastasia immediately apologized to the neighbor: Tâm sorry Iâll deal with it right awayâ
was her old
She tried to turn off the tap as quickly as possible, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldnât turn it off. In the end, she had to shut off the main valve She didnât have time to clean up the water in the house and went downstairs to assess the neighborâs damage.
The neighbor was furious âLook at this! The ceiling is leaking, it was renovated for my sonâs wedding I was away for just two days and now itâs all flooded. The wedding is coming up, this is a mess
Tm really sorry, I didnât know the faucet was broken. Donât worry, Iâll compensate you. You wonât suffer any lossâ
Anastasia was really tired last night, she had taken a bath and then gone to bed, totally unaware of this. She understood the neighborâs anger and knew she had to deal with the problem quickly
The neighbor insisted that Anastasia solve the problem immediately as she couldnât delay her sonâs wedding. Anastasia first calmed the neighbor, then went to find the property management. A leak was a big problem and needed their help. She also needed to notify the landlord, as the broken faucet wasnât her fault, the landlord also had responsibility
Anastasia didnt know how to contact the landlord and didnât want to bother Herman about it, so she went directly to the property management âCould you please help me find the contact information for the owner of unit 802, building 3, floor 8. The apartmentâs got a leak, my husbandâs the only one with the landlordâs contact and heâs not home right now, so I need your helpâ
The staff replied: âAinight, just give me a momentâ
