The Bound Between Us

Chapter 79

Flynn had already started daydreaming about becoming an uncle.

He was imagining that by the end of the year, there might be a new addition to the Salstrom family.

They rode the elevator all the way up to the top, and when the doors opened, Herman was the first to step out, looking as cool as a cucumber, “Almost there.”

“Almost there?” Flynn echoed, finally catching on and feeling a bit bummed out “So you’re saying you haven’t succeeded yet? i thought I was about to become an uncle, with a little niece on the way!”

Herman walked into the CEO’s office and Nelson handed him the day’s schedule.

As Herman looked at the busy agenda, his gaze shifted to Flynn, who was standing outside the office, chatting away with the female employees.

He figured he needed to whip Flynns work ethic into shape so he could have more free time to spend with Anastasia.

His dull job couldn’t hold a candle to the time he spent with his wife

Herman was a bit distracted at work today, and he even seemed to space out during meetings.

Of course, no one below him dared to say anything they all thought they had messed up and became more anxious. One nervous employee made a mistake while reporting, and quickly apologized, I’m sorry, Mr. Salstrom, L.

Everyone in the company knew Herman was a strict boss, messing up in front of him could mean getting the boot

Just as the employee was almost about to burst into tears, Herman waved his hand and said, “It’s okay, carry on

All the executives looked at Herman in surprise, this was the first time someone had messed up in front of him and not been fired.

It seemed their boss was in a good mood today.

Meanwhile, Anastasia was busy as soon as she stepped into the company Herman had ordered her breakfast and she was eating while working.

Yesterday she was just doing odds and ends, but today Selena really had it in for her, assigning her difficult tasks and demanding a design proposal that would satisfy Crown Entertainment’s heiress, Everlee, by the end of the month.

The news of Selena giving Anastasia a hard time reached branch manager Victor’s ears. Worried about potential problems, he made a personal visit to Selena’s office to remind her to watch her step

“Selena, you’re the company’s chief designer, why are you picking on a newbie?”

Selena was quite surprised. “Victor, you rarely come here, but today you’re here for a new employee What’s so special about Anastasia?”

Selena and Victor had known each other for many years. Victor was her boss, and they also had a personal relationship.

While sipping his coffee, Victor formally said. “You’re overthinking it. I’m not here to speak for her, I’m here for your own good.”

Selena glanced at Anastasia working outside, then looked back at Victor “Just spit it out. Who is she? What kind of incredible background does she have? She’s a person with only a high school diploma, so

she must have bribed the interviewer to get into the company, right? What’s her game?”

Bribe the interviewer? That’s unlikely, our company is very cautious when it comes to hiring I’m not defending Anastasia, I don’t know what her background is. I just heard you two had a fight in the office yesterday. That’s not good, it hurts your image”

Victor thought to himself, the big boss behind Anastasia wouldn’t need to bribe the interviewer would he?

Selena said coldly, 1 see She just got in through bribery, without any talent. I don’t need useless people here. If she really has talent, I will accept her without reservation Otherwise, she’s not even worthy of polishing my shoes”

“Selena, watch your language “Victor immediately retorted. “You weren’t this sharp and harsh before. She’s just a newbie, do you need to be this tough? If you don’t like her, I can transfer her to Amy.”

“No need; I’ve already made a bet with her. If she can win over Everlee, I’ll let her stay. Otherwise, she’ll have to quit on her own.” Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Victor wanted to say something else, “Selena, you’re ”

“You don’t need to say anything else,” Selena said arrogantly “If we let her in, it means anyone can join the company! What about us, the graduates from prestigious universities? That’s totally unfair to us

Knowing that Selena was dissatisfied, Victor said, “I’ve said what I wanted to say, consider it yourself.”

He couldn’t reveal the big shot backing Anastasia, he could only hope that Selena had good luck

After Victor left, Selena sat in her office chair, growing increasingly resentful

She picked up the internal phone, calling Anastasia into her office.
