Chapter 162
Anastasia couldâve had the chance to further her studies in college and eam her degree. Even if she might not have been top of the class, at least she wouldnât have been stuck with just a high school diploma, facing constant rejection at job interviews
The things Selena did back then hurt Anastasia How could she possibly let her off the hook so easily? Not everyone deserved forgiveness. Sometimes, being too kind and soft hearted could turn into a weapon others could use to hurt you
Selena couldnât believe it. The onginal creator she had plagiarized from was standing right before her eyes
After she did it, she was restless for a long time and always felt guilty She was afraid of getting caught and scared that someone
would find out
Years went by, and Selena gradually forgot about it. But fate brought Anastasia back into her life when she started working at her company They met again.
Everyone in the design department was shocked. They used to look down on Anastasia for only having a high school diploma. Little did they know it was all Selenaâs fault.
People couldnât stop talking.
âHow could she do that? She basically ruined Anastasiaâs life.â
âItâs so hard to get into college. Plagiarism is a stain on a designerâs career.â
âIf Anastasia had been able to continue her studies, shed probably be a renowned designer by now!
âMs. Jewell is really talented in jewelry design. I loved the designs she presented. Cant wait to see the actual pieces.â
âGod bless, talented people like Ms. Jewell are destined for good thingsâ
âSelena is such a menace.â
âSheâs finally getting what she deserves.â
Hearing the whispers around her, Selena turned even paler. This was without a doubt her most embarrassing moment. She wished she could just crawl into a hole.
Lauren, knowing that Selena was the reason Anastasia couldnât finish her studies, was furious. âSelena, I cant believe youâve been plagiarizing since then. As a jewelry designer, arenât you ashamed?â
Selena felt a chill run through her. She blamed it all on Anastasia. She glared at Anastasia. âWeâll meet again.â No matter who was backing Anastasia, she swore to get back at her for the humiliation she suffered today. After saying her piece. Selena packed her things
and left.
Within minutes, news of Selenaâs resignation spread throughout the company. Even her assistant, May, was fired due to misconduct.
Anastasia finally had her revenge and didnât regret her decision. She wouldnât hurt anyone without a reason, but if someone hurt her, she could let it go once but not over and over again.
After work, Lauren dragged Anastasia to a high-end boutique to pick out a dress and get her makeup done.
Anastasia took one look at the dress Lauren picked out for her and quickly waved it off. âItâs too fancy. What if I ruin it? And itâs too revealing. Iâd rather just wear the dress I have on.â
Lauren had picked out a stunning deep blue starry dress, which any woman would fall for at first sight.
Lauren said, âYouâre so beautiful and have such a great figure. What are you afraid of? If I had your looks and figure, Iâd flaunt it without a second thought
Anastasia laughed. To not that bold. If my husband found out, heâd be jealous. I think the dress I have on is fine. Iâm just there to look around. It wouldnât be appropriate if I dressed too fancy.â
âWell, if the CEO of Elysian Technologies took a liking to you, that would be troublesome. Youâre a married woman.â Lauren joked. âIf you werenât married, I wouldâve introduced you to my dream guy. If I canât have him, at least you could. Then I could admire you two every day.â
Anastasia laughed. âWhat kind of logic is that? Youâd give me your man?â
âIf it was a guy I was already dating, I wouldnât. But my dream guy is hard to get. Heâs not really my manâ. We all have the right to pursue love,â Lauren casually said. âIâm actually just attracted to his looks and his body. I want to see if he really has abs.â
Hearing the word âabsâ, Anastasia couldnât help but think of Hermanâs physique and her ears turned red.
Lauren asked curiously, âAnastasia, does your husband have abs?â
