The Bound Between Us

Chapter 43

Anastasia turned to look at the newcomer.

It was none other than Herman’s secretary, Nelson.

She didn’t know him, but he knew her

This was Nelson’s first time meeting Anastasia, the wife of his boss.

The male interviewer who had just insulted Anastasia was all smiles. “Nelson, what brings you here? Any directives from Mr. Salstrom?” NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“Just checking things out.” Nelson replied, without mentioning that this was an order from his boss. He deliberately walked up to the interview table and glanced at Anastasia’s designs.

Despite being a man and not particularly interested in jewelry, Nelson found himself intrigued by Anastasia’s designs. He felt a sudden urge to see the finished prece

Seeing Nelson looking at Anastasia’s designs, the male interviewer laughed. “Nelson, there’s been a mistake from HR. I was about to ask this candidate to leave There’s no way Elysian Technologies would hire a high school graduate.”

Hearing this, Nelson was glad he had arrived just in time, or else the wife of the CEO of Elysian Technologies would have been driven away by these fools.

Anastasia wouldn’t stand for the insult. “If your company doesn’t hire high school graduates, then you should have put it in your requirements. Please return my designs”

Seeing her crumpled resume in the trash, Nelson immediately understood that Anastasia had been wronged.

“Ms Jewell, I apologize for the inappropriate behavior of our staff. If Elysian Technologies posted this job ad, no one is allowed to disregard that. I’ve seen your designs and they’re excellent. Our company values not only education, but also ability Nelson handed back her designs and asked, “What was your initial intention in designing jewelry?”

The secretary to the CEO of Elysian Technologies was apologizing to a candidate?

Everyone was shocked and started speculating about Anastasia’s background.

Nelson’s sincerity left a good impression on Anastasia.

“I want everyone to wear the jewelry I design. Emotions that can’t be expressed in words can be conveyed through designs. It’s about sharing love, capturing precious moments and making sure lovers end up together.”

“Good,” Nelson nodded ‘Ms. Jewell, please wait for our call”

Anastasia was a bit confused. Was she being turned down?

In her past interviews, she was also asked to wait for a call, but the call never came.

Being asked to wait for a call was the most polite way of rejection.

Anastasia didn’t argue further. She picked up her designs and resume and walked out.

As soon as she left, Nelson turned to the male interviewer “Go to HR and quit your job. Don’t bother coming in tomorrow.”

The male interviewer turned pale. “Nelson, why?”

Was it because of Anastasia, a high school graduate?

Could it be that Anastasia has some powerful connections?

“You’re in charge of recruiting talent for the company. If you judge candidates based on your personal bias, how can you find the right people?” Nelson said. “If you’re unfit for this role, you should step aside.”

Nelson didn’t have the authority to fire employees, but he knew Herman’s temperament well. Could someone who insulted the wife of the CEO of Elysian Technologies stay in the company?

The male interviewer didn’t figure out Anastasia’s background until he was fired. He had offended a woman of importance.

But Anastasia had left after the interview and had no idea about what happened next.

She didn’t have high hopes for getting the job..

When she got home around four in the afternoon, Anastasia went to the market to buy groceries.

As she got out of the elevator, she saw Katelyn leading a moving crew into the next–door apartment

Curious, Anastasia asked, “Ms Katelyn, what are you doing?”

“Ana, you’re back” Katelyn smiled at Anastasia. “I bought the apartment next door. From now on, I’ll be your neighbor. Are you happy about that, Ana?”

A condo here would cost at least a million dollars, yet she bought one so easily?

Did she do it just to be her neighbor?

“Ms. Katelyn, are you serious?” Anastasia was taken aback. “You really bought the condo next door?”

“Yes.” Katelyn chuckled. “Now I can come chat with you when I’m bored. Also, I can cook. Let me know if there’s anything you want to eat and I’ll prepare it for you. You won’t have to work so hard”

Katelyn’s main goal in moving here was to facilitate the relationship between Anastasia and Herman. As the future mother–in-law, she wanted to make sure they would have a baby soon.
